Supreme Court Picks By John Stossel

Hillary Clinton and her fellow progressives shout things like "Health care is a right!" They've also said that education, decent housing and child care are "rights."    

Sausage Party Politics By John Stossel

Seth Rogen, co-writer, co-producer and co-star of the animated comedy "Sausage Party," is unhappy with me -- for defending him.

His movie was attacked by some online commentators for using ethnic and sexual stereotypes, as cartoons often do. What was remarkable is how incensed some people get over a cartoon, even one about talking food.

Free Speech By John Stossel

Donald Trump tells reporters, "We're going to have people sue you like you never got sued before."    

Neither Dictator nor King By John Stossel

It was refreshing to moderate a "town hall" with the Libertarian presidential and vice presidential candidates last week because Govs. Gary Johnson and William Weld respect limits on presidential power.   

Libertarian Town Hall By John Stossel

Vote for Donald Trump? No! Hillary Clinton? No!    

Vice Presidential Prospects By John Stossel

We've heard nonstop criticism of both the Democrat and Republican presidential candidates -- for good reasons. So are their running mates any better?

Lies Politicians Tell By John Stossel

I don't want Hillary Clinton to be president. She's a liar.

But I can't vote for Donald Trump. He lies almost as often.

Beyond Two Evils By John Stossel

Many people dislike both Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton -- for good reason: Both are power-hungry threats to democracy and rule of law.   

Clinton Cash By John Stossel

This week, as Democrats fawn over Hillary Clinton, I'm struck by how both Clintons continue to thrive despite their remarkable record of sleazy dealings.    

Ignoring Politicians by John Stossel

My Fox colleagues are in Cleveland, diligently interviewing Republicans. Next week, they'll interview Democrats. I'm glad they do it -- because I despise most politicians.

Cops, Blacks and Crime by John Stossel

Claims about racist cops from groups like Black Lives Matter lead more people to fear and hate the police.

Libertarianism for Beginners By John Stossel

It took me years to figure out that markets work better than government.    

Convicted and Unemployed By John Stossel

Just got out of jail? Odds are that within five years, you'll get caught doing something illegal and go back to jail.    

Warning: Labels By John Stossel

When you use a coffeepot, do you need a warning label to tell you: "Do not hold over people"?

My Lunch with Hillary by John Stossel

I had lunch with Hillary Clinton.

Not Trump or Clinton By John Stossel

Finally! Voters have another choice. The Libertarian Party nominated two socially tolerant but fiscally conservative former governors, Gary Johnson and Bill Weld.

Taught Not to Try By John Stossel

The first step in inventing something shouldn't be waiting for government approval. What would ever get done?

"Regulators like to see new types of law and regulation imposed upon the internet and emerging technologies," warns Adam Thierer, author of "Permissionless Innovation."

Private Is Better By John Stossel

Our next president will almost certainly be Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton.

But I take heart knowing that America's founders imposed checks and balances, so there will be limits on what bad things the next president can do.

Nasty Politics By John Stossel

This presidential election is like no other.

Most election years around this time, I do a TV show on nasty political commercials. Pundits explain which ads worked, which didn't, and who won because he raised more money and spent more on negative ads.

Free-Market Medicine By John Stossel

President Obama's proudest accomplishment is increasing the number of Americans with health insurance. A better idea would be to help people escape government care altogether.
