A medical report compiled by the family physician of George Zimmerman, the man on trial for murder in the death of Trayvon Martin, has been leaked to ABC News. In the report, Zimmerman was diagnosed with a "closed fracture" of his nose, a pair of black eyes, two lacerations to the back of his head and a minor back injury the day after he fatally shot Martin. The report also shows that prior to the shooting, Zimmerman had been prescribed Adderall and Temazepam, medications that can cause side effects such as agitation and mood swings.

What Did Ron Paul Accomplish?
16 May 2012 | 8:30 amNot much, according to Jonathan Tobin, editor of the conservative magazine Commentary. "Though many on the left wrongly assume his extremist approach resonated with the party's base, the truth was, he had little to offer average Republican voters," Tobin writes. "Nor can it be credibly asserted that he moved the conservative discussion in his direction on any issue where it had not already moved. Every time he opened his mouth, he demonstrated the strong distinction between his own extremist approach and that of even most Tea Party hardliners." -
Hawaii's Beaches Are in Retreat
16 May 2012 | 6:50 amMost beaches on Hawaii's three largest islands are eroding, and the erosion is likely to accelerate as sea levels rise, the United States Geological Survey warns. Over the last century, about 9 percent of the sandy coast on Hawaii, Oahu and Maui has vanished. Building seawalls just worsens the problem. "If we want beaches we have to retreat from the ocean," said USGS researcher Charles H. Fletcher. "It's easy to say retreat; it's much harder to implement it." -
Pelosi Raises $43 Million for Dems
16 May 2012 | 6:32 amRep. Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), became the most powerful woman in American history when she was sworn in as Speaker of the House in 2007. She lost that power four years later and is now hell-bent on winning it back. "They have endless money, secret, undisclosed, special interest money that they pour into elections," Pelosi said of Republicans. "But I think we can offset it. We have out-raised them, out-redistricted them, out-recruited them." Pelosi has raised more than $43 million for Democrats in this election cycle and attended nearly 500 fundraisers. The Democratic leader said she is… -
Feds Deny Elderly Pain Meds
16 May 2012 | 5:30 amReason.Com reports that under Administrator Michele Leonhart, the Drug Enforcement Administration has been engaged in a three-year battle against longterm care facilities that allow nursing staff to submit pain prescriptions for patients. The reasoning for this practice that a doctor isn't always around when a patient needs more painkiller medicine. So, historically, when a doctor hasn't been able to call in a prescription personally, nursing home staff have done so on the doctor's behalf. On the grounds that prescriptions may be called in, collected, and resold by nurses, the DEA has been…

A Proud Marxist vs. a Welfare/Warfare Statist
16 May 2012 | 8:25 amThat's America's choice if "Willard" Romney is the Republican nominee. My old friend Yuri Maltsev, who was an economic advisor to Gorbachev and defected from the Soviet Union in the 1980s, calls Obama "the proud Marxist in the White House." Yuri knows a proud Marxist when he sees one. As for Willard, he has said that he wants to explode the growth of the warfare state even more than it has already been exploding under the past several regimes. On the subject of the welfare state, he has said that it is just fine and dandy except for the need for some "improvement." In D.C. speak, this means… -
Americanisation of International Law
16 May 2012 | 5:04 amApoorva Anubhuti has a paper on the "Americanisation of International Law." Her thesis is that "International law has become the principal language in which domination is being expressed in the era of globalisation." She examines three different ways in which this is accomplished by the American empire: militarily (think Iraq and Afghanistan); bargaining/blackmail (think World Bank, EU, IMF, WTO, and bilateral investment treaties using the Hull doctrine); and consensually/hegemonically (think adopting American legal conventions as in Article 51 in the Law of Sea Convention). -
Bottom-Up International Law
16 May 2012 | 4:53 amJanet Levit has a paper on three examples of international law that grew up privately and/or in the free market way and not top-down, in the state way (like World Bank, IMF, WTO, EU, NAFTA). I can't vouch for their total purity, however. But they are examples of the spontaneous order that flowers in this world when given the opportunity. You've never heard of them because the press is directly linked to states and constantly publishes anything that state actors do, but doesn't cover in the same way the myriad free market developments. She discusses the Uniform Customs and Practice for… -
Panarchy and the Free Lakota Bank
16 May 2012 | 3:53 amYesterday I posted on separation of banks (and their reform) from non-banking, leaving unsaid whether this would be done by the state or free markets, and I made a point of saying that the ideas were one of many possibilities and not the most far-reaching. Today I have an example of a bank that shows what is possible to evolve in a more free market and also in a panarchic direction (competing non-territorial governments and states). It is the Free Lakota Bank. For the record, I'm not recommending investment in anything. I don't make investment recommendations. I haven't examined the pros and…

The call for Mickey Mouse as a write-in in the CA-DEM Primary!
16 May 2012 | 10:00 amSlightly contra Instapundit, calls for Mickey Mouse as a write-in on the California ballot is a blogger’s joke rather than an actual movement, but if it’s kidding then it’s kidding on the square. And it’s illustrating something that is perhaps being under-reported: the way that Obama’s not been doing all that well in the primaries for an incumbent. I mean, yes: we’ve had it noted that Obama only racked up 59.4% of the West Virginia primary vote; 80.9% of New Hampshire’s; and 79.2% of North Carolina’s. But here are some other primary race vote… -
Keep Term Limits on Committee Chairmen
16 May 2012 | 7:40 amPeople often ask me what can be done to move the elected officials within the Republican Party rightward. Well, for one thing, we need to elect more conservatives. But more importantly, we need those conservatives to obtain positions of power, such as chairmanships of the committees that set our domestic policy agenda. Not surprisingly, all the relevant committee chairmen are either conduits for leadership or are even more liberal than leadership. Here is a list of the chairmen along with their respective 2011 scores from Heritage Action: Committee Chairman HAFA Score Agriculture Frank… -

The Club For Growth’s Depressing Study: Failure and Lies of the Tea Party Congresscritters
16 May 2012 | 3:26 am“If the tea party is not much more successful in primarying Republican candidates and then having those guys practice what they preach, the GOP is within a decade of going the way of the Whigs.” There have been many studies out on the “tea party congress” and just how tea party it actually is. One study last year noted that 70% of candidates who went to Congress under the tea party banner were voting just like the Republican Leaders they ran against. Probably one of the best places to get a sense of this is the Club for Growth. Why? The Club ignores social votes and… -
Will Mitch McConnell Stand With Conservatives Against Obama & the Federal Reserve?

But there is one issue that really gets me and the Fed has been at the center of it lately — crony capitalism. Barack Obama has nominated Jeremy Stein and Jerome Powell to the Federal Reserve Board of Governors for six years each. Senator David Vitter (R-LA — HAFA Score 85%) placed a hold on both men. They are creatures of Wall Street and, in the biggest red flag of the day, both Goldman Sachs and JP Morgan have been pressuring…

Man Sues Wal-Mart for $1M After 16-Year-Old Says Racist Things on PA System
16 May 2012 | 10:00 amRemember Steve Martin’s old joke about how to have a million dollars and not pay taxes? First, he said, get a million dollars. Donnell Battie has found a way to do just that. Battie, from Winslow, New Jersey, is suing the Wal-Mart on the Black Horse Pike because a sixteen-year-old boy sneaked into the room where the PA microphone was and announced over the intercom, “Attention, Wal-Mart customers. All black people must leave the store.” Claiming that Wal-Mart was negligent, careless, reckless and showed deliberate indifference in not controlling access to the PA system,… -
JP Morgan Fiasco Means Higher Interest Rates Ahead
16 May 2012 | 9:26 amIf there was an Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences Award for the best acting performance by a CEO, Jamie Dimon of J.P. Morgan Bank would surely win the Oscar for his dismissal of a $2 billion off-shore derivative loss as “a complete tempest in a teapot.” Dimon tried to use all his theatrical skills to distract the American public from discovering that the U.S. Federal Reserve’s policy of loaning money to banks at zero-interest-rates has made derivative trading wildly profitable, but made lending to American businesses less profitable. As fallout from the J.P. Morgan… -
Catholic University Commencement Speaker Hates Christianity
16 May 2012 | 8:40 amThe commencement speaker this June at the largest Catholic university believes that Christianity is the most dangerous of devotions and that the earth would benefit from the extinction of man. De Paul University, in Chicago, is hosting E.O. Wilson, a two-time Pulitzer Prize winner and professor of entomology at Harvard University. Wilson’s beliefs run directly contrary to Christian tradition, and his statements are unequivocal in their opposition: 1998: “The most dangerous of devotions, in my opinion, is the one endemic to Christianity: I was not born to be of this world,”… -
Michelle Almost Divorced Barack After He Lost 2000 Congressional Race
16 May 2012 | 8:07 amAccording to the new book, The Amateur: Barack Obama in the White House, by Edward Klein, Michelle Obama was so angry in 2000 that her husband had run for a House seat and failed miserably that she prepared divorce papers against him. Obama had taken on Bobby Rush, a four-time incumbent on the South Side of Chicago, and lost by a margin of two to one. Michelle Obama had warned her husband not to run, but he ignored her advice and ran anyway. After Rush destroyed Obama in the election, he called Obama “an educated fool.” Later, when Michelle Obama prepared the divorce papers,… -
Exclusive: SBA Slams Conformity of Progressive Women In New Ad
16 May 2012 | 8:00 amI've wondered lately how the policies of a man can be used to measure a woman's devotion to her own sex. I've also wondered how the ideology that preaches about choice can be so vehemently anti-choice when it comes to the choices of women with whom they disagree. These two quandaries are explored by the Susan B. Anthony List in a new web ad called "Womanhood" (see below). The ad is a modeled as a humorous dystopian tale but the scary thing about it is that it's not a projection of abused power in future times--it's real now. “Welcome to the Bureau of Womanhood…

Alternative Job Recommendation for Romney

For whatever reasons, these businesses had lost their way and were headed for bankruptcy. Aside from an infusion of cash, they [...] -

According to the voiceover, “Calling a person illegal takes away their humanity.” Baloney! No one’s questioning their humanity! That claim is victicrat-speak. “It’s racially-charged, legally inaccurate, and morally [...]
