When the bough breaks: Mother asks CYS for help; it takes her children

by Barbara White Stack

Every weekend, Jessica Regelman takes her twins for an outing, which would be unremarkable, except that technically, they aren't hers anymore. They belong to Vicky and Dr. Steven Neeley of Brighton Township. The Neeleys adopted Alex and Amber on Sept. 3,

Regelman still gets to see them because she chose the Neeleys to adopt her children, much against the wishes of Beaver County Children and Youth Services. But Beaver County CYS didn't just fight her attempts to choose adoptive parents for her son and daughter. It also acted quickly to end her parental rights, even though she had never been accused of abusing or neglecting her children.

Where is Media in Rawesome Raid?

by Dana Loesch

Tony Katz has an excellent write-up on last week's Rawesome raid, a government action I find absolutely asinine.

Look, I don't care if you want to make the choice to purchased labeled raw dairy or local, organic food. I love to eat massive amounts of homemade beef jerky, young organic coconuts, and oven-baked bacon (don't knock it, only way to do it). I don't want the government busting up in my butcher shop, or any shop, any private facility with proper licensing (copious licensing is soft tyranny) and prevent the private sector, free market exchange of cash for goods. I also don't trust a government that can't find the time to produce a budget, yet can micromanage the citizenry, telling me what I can and cannot eat.

Where's the Outrage?

by Robert Higgs

Several weeks have passed since the world received Edward Snowden's revelations of the massive scope of the U.S. government's invasion of privacy by means of collecting and storing millions of persons' emails and website visits...

The public appears fairly equally divided about whether these revelations constitute a public service or a treasonous act. The U.S. government has revoked Snowden's passport and seeks to prosecute him for theft of public property and violations of the Espionage Act, but at present he remains out of the government's reach at the Moscow airport. To my knowledge, no demonstrations in the streets have occurred to express Americans' outrage with the government's actions in secretly scooping up, without a warrant or a showing of probable cause, vast quantities of information about them and their personal affairs.

White foster parents chosen to raise two toddlers over the black grandparents

by Daily Mail Reporter

The Minnesota Supreme Court has ruled that a set of white foster parents should raise two toddler sisters instead of the black grandparents who have fought for them for three years.

Steven and Liv Grosser, from Plymouth, will now raise the girls instead of Dorothy and Lawrence Dunning after the court ruled relatives should get first consideration but not preference in adoptions. Princess and Dorothy Knox, who are now aged three and two, were placed with the Grossers after doctors found they both had traces of cocaine in their blood after they were born.
