COMMENTARY: The irony of voting for Joe Biden

Honestly, I don't get how anyone in the right minds would vote for presumed Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden. Are you out of your gourds? What am I talking about exactly? The entire idea of supporting Biden because of the Democratic label is nothing short of irony. Allow me to explain. MYTH: Biden cares about women's rights and children THE TRUTH: Biden reveals his true colors in 1974 when he openly opposes the Roe v. Wade decision. You didn't need Snopes […]

COMMENTARY: Republican legislators implicated as part of Madigan special interest donations

As if the whole corruption saga surrounding Illinois House Speaker Michael Madigan wasn't already interesting. However, it just got that much more interesting, based on recent developments that now implicate members of the Republican Party. Madigan, presumably "Public Official A" in recent ComEd legal filings, and some of his special interests may have something to do with contributions to some Republicans as well. Davidsmeyer willingly admits to receiving ComEd money State Rep. C.D. Davidsmeyer (R-Jacksonville) recently stated on local station […]

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 […]

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: 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.
