KNAPP: “Peak libertarianism?” No, Thom Hartmann is just a sore winner.

“We have now reached peak Libertarianism,” Thom Hartmann informs us at CounterPunch, “and this bizarre experiment that has been promoted by the billionaire class for over 40 years is literally killing us.” That claim is so bizarre on its face that it’s easy to dismiss. On the other hand, even the craziest claims can fool people if nobody takes the time to debunk them. Even in its most watered-down, weak-tea form, Libertarianism calls for “smaller government.” That’s not its real […]

KNAPP: Political parties are inevitable and ugly, but not entirely useless

George Washington, America’s first president, devoted part of his 1796 farewell address to warning against “[t]he alternate domination of one faction over another, sharpened by the spirit of revenge natural to party dissension.” He feared perpetual war for power between political parties both as “a frightful despotism” in and of itself, and as a prelude to some future tyrant seeking “his own elevation on the ruins of public liberty.” Was Washington right? Sort of. Political parties possess all the evil […]

KNAPP: Yes, the rent is too damn high, but not because the minimum wage is too damn low

“Full-time minimum wage workers cannot afford a two-bedroom rental anywhere in the U.S.,” Alicia Adamczyk writes at CNBC, “and cannot afford a one-bedroom rental in 95% of U.S. counties.” Adamczyk gets her figures from the National Low Income Housing Coalition’s annual “Out of Reach” report. Here are a few numbers NLIHC isn’t as eager to talk about: According to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics, a whopping  1.9% of all American workers, and only 1% of full-time workers, earned minimum […]

WITHERSPOON: Is Governor Pritzker obtuse?

There’s a pivotal moment in the award-winning film, The Shawshank Redemption when the main character Andy Dufresne discovers there is evidence that could prove his innocence in the murder of his wife and her lover. Andy naively brings this to the attention of the corrupt, tyrannical warden Samuel Norton, who has relied upon Andy’s accounting acumen to skim and launder money from the prison. The warden declares the evidence he has found is false. He tells Andy he should forget about […]

KNAPP: No, the politicians didn’t save us from COVID-19

Writing at Reason Magazine, Eric Boehm notes two trends revealed in data released by Apple and Foursquare. Trend One:Americans began reducing their outings and social interactions before, not because of, “shelter in place” orders issued by grandstanding, opportunistic politicians. Trend Two:Americans started coming back out and resuming something like normal life before, not because, those politicians started lifting those orders. In other words, with COVID-19 as with everything else, government policy is a trailing, rather than leading, indicator. Politicians don't start parades […]

COMMENTARY: AEW Dynamite delivers amazing show despite ongoing sports crisis

In a world where sports content has gone dark because of the COVID-19 coronavirus, there are those who soldier on regardless. This was the case Wednesday for All Elite Wrestling's weekly TV broadcast of Dynamite. I tuned in to the empty arena shows that their competitors at WWE produced for Friday Night Smackdown and Monday's Raw. As a result, they were incredibly disappointing, crowd or no crowd. And the kicker: no live wrestling from Dynamite's Wednesday night competition, WWE NXT. […]

EDITORIAL: Ballot access campaigns for alternative parties are about to become much harder

(Heartland Newsfeed) -- As each state is slowly making restrictions on events with attendance over a specific threshold as the result of the COVID-19 coronavirus, those restrictions have a wide-spreading impact on alternative parties wishing to gain ballot access on the general election ballot in November. Thursday, a joint press release was pushed out jointly by Libertarian Party of Iowa chairman Mike Conner, Jr. and Iowa Green Party co-chair Erin Young regarding COVID-19 and how this will impact their candidate […]

COMMENTARY: Decatur limiting public comments is the bastardization of transparency. You should be concerned.

(Heartland Newsfeed) -- If you live in Decatur, Ill., you should be concerned. Concerned about your First Amendment rights to redress, petition and criticize your government for the ever-increasing pile of wrongdoings they have done to you. During Monday night's meeting of the Decatur City Council, mayor Julie Moore-Wolfe and three aldermen -- Lisa Gregory, Chuck Kuhle and Pat McDaniel -- voted to limit public comments to only the beginning of the meeting, meaning no public time to address meeting […]
