EDITORIAL: The road to BotchaMania LIX is a hilarious one, but angers voters as well

(Heartland Newsfeed) -- I sincerely wish I was kidding by calling every single presidential election in our nation's history as a botch. I'm not. (And for you wrestling fans out there, sorry - I wasn't referring to the annual botch festival known as WrestleMania....sorry to burst that bubble.) I couldn't help but write something after I saw a Facebook post from Libertarian Party national chairman Nicholas Sarwark: Just in case you don't quite know what I mean when I refer […]

EDITORIAL: Twitter, Spotify choose to be losers in 2020 election ad race while Facebook, Google cash in

Presidential candidates running for the role of commander-in-chief have spent more than $105 million on digital ads to date. Facebook and Google have received a lion's share of the ad revenue. Twitter chose to opt-out for the 2020 presidential election, and just recently, Spotify decided to opt-out as well. This is despite political organizations like the campaign of Bernie Sanders and the Republican National Committee who previously utilized the platform's paid ad network. With billionaires in the presidential race, such […]

COMMENTARY: Trump impeachment set to be another waste of taxpayer dollars

I will be the first to admit that I'm no fan of President Donald J. Trump. I was so disgusted with the duopoly's candidate-throat-shoving via the GOP's Trump and the Democrats' Hillary Clinton. I voted for Libertarian nominee Gary Johnson without hesitation because I'm beyond disgusted with both major parties. The current attempts in the House to impeach Trump with a full vote expected before the end of the 2019 session can be somewhat equated to the 1998 impeachment of […]

COMMENTARY: Elections limited to two-party system is unhealthy

Uncontested elections are even worse Petitioning recently ended for the members of the political duopoly for their upcoming primary election in Illinois taking place on March 17, 2020. Only in two counties was a political party that was neither Democrat nor Republican allowed to slate candidates for their own partisan primary. Libertarians in McLean and Kankakee counties recently filed their petitions for their own party primary. It's bad enough when your choices are often limited to Democrat or Republican, but […]

OP-ED: How will universal healthcare change human behavior?

Co-pays are gone, premiums are gone, all out of pocket prices are gone! - Bernie Sanders at the DNC presidential debate on Oct. 15th, concerning his universal health care program. The healthcare industry is very complex. There are numerous jobs that require accreditation; all the producers of hospital equipment and medicine; the construction contractors that have to be hired to build the facilities and there are probably a hundred or more other factors that are involved in providing health care. […]

COMMENTARY: Consolidation is inevitable, so quit whining

A local news outlet wrote an editorial Tuesday, citing they were not convinced on the issue of consolidation. I guess none of the editorial staff at Hillsboro's The Journal-News understand the whole idea of consolidation, more or less the definition of it. The word gets tossed around a lot, from science and technology to economics, but the definition of consolidation is simply put: the merging or integration of many items into one Consolidations have taken place many times in the business […]

OP-ED: What is market manipulation?

Editor Note: This is the third and final part of a three-part op-ed regarding money. You can check out the first part and second part of this op-ed series here.

OP-ED: What is an interest rate?

Editor Note: This is the second part of a three-part op-ed regarding money. You can check out the first installment here. When we were figuring out what constitutes something as money, we saw how the value the baker held for maple syrup diminished when his supply of that good increased and that the value someone holds for something is subjective and unique to that individual. The hunter will, likely, always hold more value in venison than the baker no matter […]
