We have had complaints about censorship by private fora (e.g., Facebook), and by the government (e.g., Trump wanting the power to shut down media). Here is an opportunity for us to see how PH really falls on these questions. My position is that private venues can do as they like ... FB can...

On July 11, 2018 it appears that an individual wanted to hold court in the streets. The police officer's body cam captured it all. Nunez attempted to enter a school, fortunately it was locked. One officer involved fired 31 shots, many of them from his moving vehicle. The other officer fired...

Amazing how the media is so one sided and yet everyone believes what they read. cid:ECF60DAAFB5346A0B510C346D136DEC4@AlHP2 This is Edward “Ed” Mezvinsky, born January 17, 1937. You’ll probably say (as I did), “Who the hell is Ed Mezvinsky?” He is a former US Democrat congressman who...

Has anyone here read the new book about President Trump? What did you think of it? Is Micheal Wolff a good writer? Is it worth buying or should I just wait for it to come to my local library?

Many people are raising the question of whether we all have to fear everything we say, that we believe is private, might be recorded and our livelihood taken as a result. Had he said it publicly, we could just go on feeling wonderful at the universal condemnation and the end result, but since...

Most people I see online are very radical with their political views. Is it the same in the real world ?

RCMP seizure of flood evacuees' guns generates heated debate - including from Ottawa Should the cops have taken those guns from the flooded homes?

I don't think I've ever posted a picture as an OP, and just let it stand on its own, but when I saw this, this morning, all I could think was "wow". I'm curious: what are your thoughts, or reactions, as you read this? Especially in light of the fact that the House, again, chose to delay...

Now this is the part where I probably lose a bunch of respect from members of both parties. I am starting a micro-republic called The Independent Republic of Ursum. I am curious to hear you thoughts not just on the concept, but on our constitution, and reactions from neighboring countries namely...

In the Mazie Hirona and Linda Lingle debate in Hawaii last week, Ms. Hirona seemed to me to be disparaging of Ms. Lingle's involvement as the Co-Chair of the Jewish Americans for Mitt Romney. Linda Lingle responded forthrightly that she was proud of that appointment. Did anyone else interpret...

Last night on The Ed Show the issue was a rumored statement by the Mayor of Chicago to the head of the Chicago teacher's union. The Mayor has neither confirmed nor denied the statement. "25% of the teens in our schools are going to end up in jail, why should we throw good money after bad."...

On the same day that Gingrich lit into debate moderator Jon King over the ex-wife question, PPP published a poll from TX showing Obama losing to both Romney and Paul by 7 points (he lost by more than 11 points to McCain in 2008), but beating Gingrich. Here a screenshot from the Hedgehogreport...

Okay, this seems pretty dumb to me. If he wasn't born in the US, isn't it fairly clear that he doesn't meet the qualifications for the office? And if not, why would the FEC allow him to raise funds as a candidate for that office?

Now I guess my opinion on abortion may seem inconsistent to some. I am opposed to abortion and I am pro-choice. Is anyone else like that, are you able to understand why I feel this way? The position on abortion I do not understand is that of the fundamentalist right to life christian...
