Why Letting Your Kid Walk Home Alone Could Land You in Jail
From StosselTV
A mother was ARRESTED for letting her 8-year-old son walk half a mile home. Prosecutors said she put her kid “in imminent danger of death.” Really?
The police argued it is too dangerous for a kid to walk alone in his own neighborhood. The data show otherwise. Being in a car is 200 times more dangerous than the risk of getting kidnapped. There are only about FIVE stranger abductions per year, according to: https://www.missingkids.org/content/d… In contrast, traffic deaths averaged 2,386: https://wisqars.cdc.gov/reports/?o=MO…
Lenore Skenazy, author of “Free Range Kids,” points out that irrational fear makes parents and authorities overreact, and keep kids from going out and learning about the world. For the full story, you can watch our video here.

Many politicians across America condemn gambling. They crack down on slot machines and want sports betting banned. Yet, there’s one gambling operation they never try to ban: their own!
The politicians’ hypocrisy is disgusting. They should leave us alone. How we spend our money should be up to us!

For years, major corporations bragged about their wonderful Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) programs. They’re good for business and morally correct, they said. So why are they now cutting those programs?
Robby Starbuck says these programs once got a lot of buy-in, because people wanted to be nice! But DEI came to mean much more than just being nice.
Starbuck says what it looked like in practice was “crazy trainings” and “overtly racist hiring practices.” Now lots of people agree with him.
Companies actually take notice when Starbuck tells his many followers about their DEI programs. Often the programs get dropped.
That’s the power of free speech.
