COMMENTARY: Government, leave kids alone and let them make a buck selling lemonade

In the past several years, there has been a crackdown by government officials and law enforcement against young entrepreneurs, kids who sell lemonade and iced tea to people traveling around the neighborhood. These kids are perhaps wanting to make money to get that newest toy or if they're willing to work hard, raise money for charitable causes like Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation or Compassion International. Now, neighborhoods are under constant assault from police and politicians who feel kids should be […]

OP-ED: Free speech just isn’t that complicated

It’s hard to believe we need to have this conversation in this day and age. But if we don’t keep having it, at some point we might not be allowed to have it. Question: What is free speech? Or, rather what is NOT free speech? In 2017, former Vermont governor,  presidential candidate, and Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean informed the American public that “[h]ate speech is not protected by the first amendment.”  That’s one variation of the “hate speech is […]

COMMENTARY: Yellow journalism from so-called libertarian outlets aren’t helping the cause of the Libertarian Party

A "news piece" by Ryan Lau from supposedly libertarian news outlet 71 Republic came out today bashing the Libertarian Party regarding its finances, but it appears Mr. Lau didn't do any research at all. This commentary is not to snap back at the content and headline that screams "hit piece". This is to feature the backlash received on social media following publication over the unsubstantiated and unverified information the publication chose to publish. From Libertarian National Committee at-large representative Joe […]

COMMENTARY: OK, we’ll bite. Why doesn’t Bill Gates believe we should take vacations and weekends off?

(Heartland Newsfeed) -- I have been reading a MarketWatch article "Bill Gates doesn’t believe that everyone should take vacations and weekends off" and have read it several times over for the past hour. I have to admit I am a bit confused about the deceptive headline alone. Microsoft co-founder and billionaire Bill Gates stated during a conference last weekend that "he didn't really believe in vacations" while building his tech giant from the foundation up. He was essentially stating before […]

COMMENTARY: Municipal governments have become equally fiscally irresponsible as the state of Illinois

(Heartland Newsfeed) -- It is no secret that Chicago has a century-long track record of fiscal irresponsibility. That ultimately trickled down to Chicago Public Schools, which has shown a four-decade track record of reckless spending with no reforms being taken. Our state government in Springfield is a contributing factor to municipal governments overspending or imposing fiscally irresponsible decisions, something that has occurred for over four decades. With a fiscally irresponsible billionaire socialist in the Governor's Mansion and an equally irresponsible […]

OP-ED: Illinois population decline should be a wake-up call

Illinoisans have been hearing their state is shrinking for five years now. But new figures released Thursday say something they’ve never heard. From Walla Walla to Waco, there are 383 metropolitan statistical areas, or MSAs, across the country. Illinois is home base for 10 of them. From July 2017 to July 2018, all 10 shrank. That’s never happened before. And many other figures from the new release are disturbing. No other state in the lower 48 saw all of its […]

COMMENTARY: You DO NOT have to play basketball in Illinois to succeed in pro basketball

I usually like reading sports commentaries from the Decatur Herald & Review's Mark Tupper. The most recent piece, titled "Illinois' value could soar with some success", goes through the struggles the Fighting Illini of the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign has had under basketball coach Brad Underwood. In two years with Underwood at the helm, the Fighting Illini are 26-39 and 11-27 in Big Ten Conference action (as of publication). Combined with the final three years of John Groce, the team […]

COMMENTARY: It’s time for Illinois’ election laws to be reformed for the better

I have been quite vocal about reform election law reform for quite some time on social media. Actually, it's been more prevalent since the beginning of the 2018 election cycle: Attempts to reform the state's election code of laws have been made since 2013 by state Sen. Andy Manar (D-Bunker Hill) in the form of Senate Bill 1624, which called for the elimination of the "ballot access multiplier", which requires independent and new party candidates to collect, depending on political […]

COMMENTARY: Like the government, central banks are afraid of Bitcoin and crypto

(Heartland Newsfeed) -- Since the dawn of cryptocurrency trading, there have always been projections and predictions of doom-and-gloom bear markets. From the amateur day trader to so-called market experts like Jim Cramer, they have all predicted that Bitcoin, everything that encompasses it and the entire cryptocurrency marketplace will collapse into the void in which it came from, or something to such effect. These same predictions also come from ignorant journalists and so-called hubristic economists who know nothing about cryptocurrencies, hence […]
