Seattle Liberals-stuck on stupid with their Sweetened Beverage Tax
On January 1, Seattle initiates a new "sweetened beverage tax", of $0.0175 per OUNCE of sweetened beverage (Coke, Pepsi, Simply Lemonade, VitaminWater...).

Giving “Transformation” a bad name: why I’m not doing a photo challenge this week
In the past 8 years, two major events have totally soured me on anything that bills itself as a "transformation". The first one happened back in 2008, when Barack Hussein Obama was elected president.

That’s Racist!
A recent op-ed in Pravda on the Hudson, better known as the New York Times, says the writer is telling his black child that he may not be friends with white children. Sorry, but That's Racist. That's Deplorable.
