As a general rule, I don't like to see laws that allow for the arrest and incarceration of people based on a sort of subjective standard.
Kat Timpf
The truth of the matter is, 'uncomfortable' does not equal 'unsafe,' and 'disagreement' does not equal 'danger.'
The bottom line is, our law enforcement is tasked with protecting us from harm - not with creating it by levying penalties for 'offenses' that present no real risk to anyone.
A person in power should never use his position to intimidate citizens from exercising their rights.
Personally, my general winter rule is that, if I'm not being paid to leave my apartment, then I'll be damned if I'm leaving.
Many people have made sacrifices to continue their education, or to allow their children to continue theirs. Others have made sacrifices by taking a path that didn't include continuing, because they could not afford to do so. None of these are things that could ever be replaced with cash.
Hillary Clinton had the backing of the entire DNC during her 2016 run, and yet, after she lost, all she could do was whine incessantly about how many people had wronged her throughout the process and made it so unfair.
Personally, I chose my own undergraduate institution in large part because the scholarship options made it affordable for me to attend. Make no mistake: The financial feasibility of each school's cost was a major part of making my decision, as it was for almost everyone I knew.
My first job ever real job in the field was as an airborne traffic reporter and producer in Los Angeles, but I was laid off pretty quickly - which was totally fair, because I'm terrible with directions, and that's kind of the whole job.
My favorite tweets are the, 'I used to like and then you said this,' 'I used to like you then you suggested that president Trump was not the savior of all of us.' It's absolutely ridiculous.
In fact, despite the fact that he's somehow managed to brand himself as a moderate choice, Michael Bloomberg's record is actually that of an authoritarian nightmare.
For years, fiscally conservative advocacy groups were giving then-Republican representative Justin Amash awards, praise, and donations. Now that he's an independent, however, many of those same groups are snubbing him entirely.
All too often, we see politicians on both sides desperately twisting themselves into partisan-hack pretzels, for the sole purpose of defending their own 'team' or attacking the other, without any thought to principles or values whatsoever.
To Hillary Clinton, Bernie Sanders is bad because she and her buddies in Congress don't 'like' him.
My later jobs as a waitress felt like a posh paradise after my first one at Boston Market.
I know it can be difficult to try and achieve your dreams when you don't have the same advantages as some other people may have, but this is a country full of opportunity where amazing things can happen, if you are willing to hustle and be smart about it.
I myself have appeared on countless panels alongside people with whom I've disagreed, at times even vehemently - and yet, the thought of closing out those segments by grabbing their notes and ripping them up has never even crossed my mind.
The truth is, every situation is different and has its own unique set of circumstances. That is reality, plain and simple.
No one, and I mean no one, gets personally offended by someone saying a food that they like is just okay - as if I had just attacked one of their character traits - unless 'character trait' is exactly what they consider liking that food to be.
The bottom line is this: It is not, in a country that was founded on the values of individual liberty and personal responsibility, the job of the government (read: completely uninvolved taxpayers) to pay for someone else's mistake.
Perhaps the most common argument against the advocates of cancel culture is that they're lame and uncreative - and I think they generally are.
Nutrition advice is, quite frankly, subjective.
See, locking people up who present no real danger to society isn't just unfair to those people and those who love them. It is, but it's also unfair to the people who pay to keep them there: the taxpayers. Let me be clear: Locking someone up is not free.
If I had my way, no one would ever be separated from his or her family over a personal choice that involved only his or her body.
The truth is, sometimes the best way for the government to help those in need is to stop itself from 'helping' them at all.
Now, to anyone with even half a brain, a newspaper apologizing because a reporter did some reporting makes about as much sense as a doctor apologizing because he gave someone a diagnosis.
Absolutely no one should be arguing for a system aimed at increasing ignorance.
There are cruel, terrible things that happen in this world that are even more traumatizing than the existence of Jeff Sessions. Yes, it can be painful to read about them - but we can never hope to change what we cannot first recognize.
Politics has become absurdly, stupidly, restrictively partisan.
One of the main foundations of our country is supposed to be that we value individuality, and unfortunately, that seems to be getting lost.
No one should ever feel compelled to replace the development of and adherence to his or her own set of personal values and beliefs with an adherence to some partisan label.
It's true: Whenever I see a government rule that could clearly be used to punish people for doing innocuous things, it is never enough for some government official to just assure me that it won't be used that way. Those assurances, after all, aren't binding; they're lip service.
The bottom line is: If any government has a rule that would legally allow it to punish people for things that don't deserve punishment, then that law should be scrapped or changed.
All too often, I will see people on the left slam Trump for the way he treats or talks about other people. Then those same individuals - sometimes even in the same breath - will go on to say even worse things about the people who voted for him.
The bottom line is: It is fine to have issues with President Trump; I've had them myself. The thing is, though, the best way to argue against the things that you disagree with is never to use abusive tactics.
College is supposed to be a place that prepares its students for the real world. That's the entire purpose of attending! Learning how to be an engaged citizen is something that should be encouraged in this kind of environment, not restricted.
It's true: What one person might consider 'hate speech,' another might consider to be harmless, or even funny.
I can't be alone in saying that humor has gotten me through some hard times in my life.
It's true: I can't think of even a single way in which society suffers because of a 15-year-old trick-or-treater.
The United States of America is supposed to be a free country, and its law enforcement is supposed to exist to protect and serve its citizens.
Most of my columns at National Review focus on PC culture, and sometimes, when I write about some idiotic, anti-free-speech idea presented by some idiotic, anti-free-speech student or professor, people will ask me why I wasted my time writing about it.
Let me be clear: It's not that I'm not a patriot because I want to keep flag-burning legal, it's that I want to keep flag-burning legal because I am a patriot.
Is burning an American flag a disgusting, reprehensible act? Yes, it absolutely is, and I would tell that to the face of absolutely anyone who has done so.
The flag is a symbol of our freedom, and burning it absolutely is one of the least patriotic things that a person could possibly do. I say 'one of the least' because I can think of a few things that would actually be less so - and, as a matter of fact, I think that banning flag-burning would absolutely be on that list.
Don't like flag-burning? Fine. Hate flag-burning? Me too! The thing is, though, hating something doesn't always mean that the answer is to call on government powers to ban it - and, in fact, I'd say that that is rarely the best solution, especially when it comes to speech.
Fall means that all of the Joy of Summer is officially over, and all of those hack fall activities that people seem to pretend to enjoy to make themselves feel better begin.
Football is, honestly, so objectively bad that I have always been convinced that the only reason it is so 'popular' is some kind of mass conspiracy. Everyone who 'likes' it is just pretending to like it because they see other people 'liking' it, and now we are all forced to endure it.
Beto O'Rourke may think he wants to be president, but I am here to help him recognize the truth: What he really wants to be is an Instagram model.
One thing is clear: Our governments have too many laws.
Make no mistake: Deciding to abstain from the Pledge of Allegiance does communicate something, and therefore, it is a form of speech. It's also a form of peaceful protest, the right to which is another one of our values.
