KNAPP: Stars and Stripes, perhaps not forever

In late 1861, Union soldiers in Bloomfield, Missouri, found the local newspaper’s office empty and decided to put it to good use. Stars and Stripes covered the activities of the three Illinois regiments. Their commander in chief, of course, was U.S. President Abraham Lincoln. Over time, the paper gained direct funding from the military, but with supposed “editorial independence,” and a mission “to provide first-hand reporting from bases around the world and unbiased, credible news to America’s military.” Those who worked in […]

KNAPP: For real “farm aid”, go “free trade”

On August 6, the US Senate’s Agriculture Committee rejected the latest version of the federal government’s quinquennial “farm bill.” I say “quinquennial” because Congress normally passes this legislation every five years, but it’s still operating on the 2018 version and has been arguing on a new version since 2023. SNAP dispute stalls the latest bill The major hang-up this year seems to be over a Republican plan that would require state governments kick in for the cost of the Supplemental […]

KNAPP: The political and personal case for Linux

You probably use a computer — in fact, you’re probably reading this column on a computer. For 72% of you, that computer is the ubiquitous “standard” Windows PC or laptop. For 20% of you, it’s a Mac. The other 8% of you oddballs mostly use Linux or (Linux-based) ChromeOS. I know the 92% of you who use Windows or macOS get tired of the cool kids telling you this, but it should be the other way around. Almost everyone should […]

How the final few months of the Biden administration could be his most effective

Following Joe Biden’s July 21 withdrawal from a seemingly doomed re-election campaign, Democrats instantly re-focused on picking/backing a new candidate (at the moment, vice-president Kamala Harris seems well on her way to nailing the nomination down), while Republicans took up the cry “if he’s unable to run, he’s unable to serve, and should resign or be removed.” I’m not seeing much speculation — yet — from either camp on the equally interesting subject of what Joe Biden’s final six months in […]

KNAPP: Make impeachment great again

“Biden family members and business associates created a web of over 20 companies,” according to a May 10 memorandum from the US House Committee on Oversight and Accountability. Most of those companies, which “received over $10 million from foreign nationals’ companies,” were “formed during Joe Biden’s vice presidency.” The Biden family, according to the memo,  engaged in “complicated financial transactions,” apparently “to conceal the source of the funds and reduce the conspicuousness of the total amounts made into the Biden […]

KNAPP: Bank collapses: Yes, it’s a taxpayer bailout

U.S. president Joe Biden “stresses that Silicon Valley Bank is not getting a bailout,” The Hill reported on March 13. “[N]o losses will be borne by the taxpayers,” he said of the federal government’s decision to cover depositor losses in excess of  $250,000.  “Instead, the money will come from the fees that banks pay into the Deposit Insurance Fund.” But Biden’s explanation doesn’t support Biden’s claim. The bank’s customers — and, by extension, the bank itself — are definitely getting a […]

KNAPP: Time for the spoiler whining

Chase Oliver earned 2.1% of the vote in Georgia's U.S. Senate race. Supporters of Herschel Walker and Sen. Raphael Warnock call Oliver a spoiler because he forced the election to a December 6 runoff election. Here we go again. Yet another “third party” candidate has “spoiled” “major party” candidates’ victory party plans by “stealing” votes that rightfully belong to … well, someone else. Libertarian Chase Oliver garnered a little more than 2% of the vote in Georgia’s U.S. Senate race. […]

KNAPP: Things always change with Election Day

"Election Day" has become a fuzzy concept lately. Officially it falls on “the Tuesday next after the first Monday in the month of November.” However, most states offer early voting in person or by mail these days. Millions of Americans have already cast their votes. The probability that we won’t know all the winners and losers on "election night" is in the neighborhood of 100%. The U.S. Senate race in Georgia may well go to a runoff. Some Congressional races […]

KNAPP: Look for the Libertarian label Nov. 8

In Illinois, the Libertarian Party statewide candidates have no ties to the Republican-aligned Mises Caucus. In other states, you might not be so lucky, so research your ballot well on November 8. During election years, attention tends to turn to “swing state” races that might affect which “major” party ends up with majorities in the US House or US Senate. Earlier this year, Arizona was widely considered one of those “swing states.” Incumbent US Senator Mark Kelly (D) is looking […]
