Media critique of Arizona tax cuts and child welfare
Stan Barnes argues that public spending and editorials on child welfare misplace responsibility. He credits the 100 day legislature for tax cuts and balanced budgets, condemns editorial sentiment as hollow compassion, and supports letting working Arizonans keep more of their pay. He recalls Roosevelt and Johnson, notes GOP majorities delivered the largest tax break in state history, and questions whether writers measure real outcomes. Barnes is a former two term state legislator from Mesa.

Laughable leader Zhirinovsky shocks Europe during Strasbourg visit
The Russian Liberal Democratic Party chief Vladimir Zhirinovsky arrived in France with limited visa access and used inflammatory language about race and foreigners. He disrupted a Council of Europe session, mocked European institutions, and blamed NATO actions for Russia’s woes.

A Letter Defending Singapore Caning Policy
A reader argues that Singapore’s caning law is effective and should not be criticized by Americans. He contends harsh punishments deter youth crime and claims delinquency would rise if the US adopted such measures.
US Should Take Lessons From Singapore Caning
The piece argues for severe, minimalist incarceration inspired by Singapore, condemning crime and coddling while praising deterrence. It envisions bare bones facilities, isolated cells, restricted contact, and hard limits on visitation, books, and writing. It critiques current American justice as too civilized and advocates drastic, punitive reform to deter future offenses.
