KNAPP: The “election interference” fearmongers think you’re stupid

Xi Jinping and Ali Khamenei prefer Joe Biden to Donald Trump. Vladimir Putin prefers Donald Trump to Joe Biden. That’s according to William Evanina, director of the US National Counterintelligence and Security Center. “Many foreign actors,” he says, “have a preference for who wins the election, which they express through a range of overt and private statements; covert influence efforts are rarer.” I don’t have the words to express how un-surprised I am to learn that foreign governments take an […]

Illinois Republicans prefer white supremacist over Libertarians in petition challenges

In 2018, Arthur Jones ran as a Republican for Congress from the 3rd Congressional District in Illinois. According to The Atlantic, Jones was a member of the National Socialist White People’s Party for eight years, is a Holocaust denier, proudly calls himself a white nationalist, and is a former leader of the American Nazi Party. An actual Nazi was on the ballot in Illinois running for Congress just two years ago. Interviews with him are available online if you can stomach watching […]

KNAPP: Biden vs. Trump is an echo chamber, not a choice

“Democracy,” H.L. Mencken wrote, “is the theory that the common people know what they want, and deserve to get it good and hard.” Mencken’s assessment is philosophically dismissive of democracy as a theory of government. It’s snobbishly contemptuous of Joe Six-Pack’s qualifications for self-government of the democratic type. And it’s as accurate a summary as I’ve come across of how the political establishment — especially “major party” presidential candidates and their campaign minders — view the American electorate. It’s fair to […]

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 […]

Roman treasures in Nîmes

Most travelers to southern France's Provence region will visit Arles and Avignon, but ignore nearby Nîmes. While those two towns have name recognition and greater touristic appeal, Nîmes (pronounced "neem") feels richer and more authentic. A visit to this thriving town rewards you with impressive Roman monuments and peaceful, pedestrian-polished streets that feel like a secret between its well-heeled residents. Born a Celtic city around 500 BC, Nîmes joined the Roman Empire in the first century BC. Emperor Augustus made […]

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 […]

KNAPP: Executive orders – this is the brain of Trump on drugs

On July 24, US President Donald Trump signed four executive orders with an eye toward altering the way prescription drugs are priced and purchased in the United States. Three of the four orders embody good ideas that accord with the goals of think tanks supposedly supporting “free-market policy solutions” to America’s healthcare problems. Sally Pipes, president of one such think tank (the Pacific Research Institute), writes in opposition to those three orders, and in support of the fourth, anti-free-market order, […]

Experiencing Iceland’s raw beauty

Iceland, with cinematic scenery showcasing nature in its rawest form, thrills outdoorsy travelers. Its fascinating landscape, from rugged coasts to steaming volcanoes and craggy glaciers, offers visitors a range of adventures hard to find anywhere else. One of my most unforgettable Icelandic experiences was my first tour into a dormant volcano. The Þríhnúkagígur volcano, a half-hour drive from Iceland's capital city Reykjavík, last erupted about 4,000 years ago. When its magma drained out, a cavity big enough to hold the […]

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 […]
