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 […]

Bratislava: Slovakia’s capital makes a remarkable comeback

Bratislava, the capital of Slovakia and once a nearly desolate ghost town, is one of the big surprises of my recent travels. Its compact old town bursts with colorfully restored facades, lively outdoor cafés, and swanky boutiques. Its ramshackle industrial quarter, just east of the center, is rapidly being redeveloped into a forest of skyscrapers. The hilltop castle gleams from a recent facelift. And even the glum communist-era suburb of Petržalka, right across the Danube, has undergone a Technicolor makeover. […]

Iceland’s steamiest geothermal sights

Iceland, formed long ago by volcanoes, is known for its otherworldly landscape, with steaming fields and percolating mud. The volcanic activity produces naturally heated water, which Icelanders have cleverly harnessed not just as an energy source, but for thermal baths and pools. Geothermal experiences — both visual and immersive — are worth seeking out on a visit here. Wandering through the colorful terrain of a geothermal field is a classic Icelandic treat. The most visited geothermal sight is Geysir, home […]

vacations weekends Bil Gates

Business & Lifestyle

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 […]

Tasty and convival tapas in Spain

When it comes to eating in Spain, I love gathering around the table or bar for tapas — a parade of small dishes served family-style. I never tire of them. The experience is like an edible scavenger hunt, where I collect small portions of seafood, salads, meat-filled pastries, and deep-fried tasties, and piece them together for a light evening meal. My tapas memories are vivid: In the heart of Spain's Andalucía region, on a warm summer evening, I elbow up […]

Utah, France: Visiting the other American D-Day beach

Most Americans visiting France's D-Day sites focus, understandably, on Omaha Beach — where thousands died on June 6, 1944. But if you're planning to visit Normandy, don't miss the other American landing site: Utah. It's the westernmost of the five sectors of the Norman coast given code names by the Allies (with British and Canadian troops landing at Gold Beach, Juno Beach and Sword Beach). Utah Beach, added as a landing site late in D-Day planning, proved critical. This was […]

Rix Quinn’s Minute Story: How do you want to be remembered?

Several years ago, my father stood with head bowed at a graveside funeral service. As the minister spoke, Dad began reading tombstones immediately nearby. One caught his eye. Just below the birth and death dates were three words: “He grew peaches.” What a revelation, he thought. A man’s entire career summed up in one single phrase. Dad said it made him think about how many notable people get remembered for one thing only. What comes to mind when you think […]

Minnesota legislature passes major protections for the elderly

Two weeks ago, Minnesota’s state legislature passed one of the most comprehensive bills to address elderly protections in generations. The 168-page law addressed a variety of different issues that had been plaguing Minnesota’s elderly community. Arguably the most significant aspect of elderly care in Minnesota that the Elder Care and Vulnerable Adult Protection Act of 2019 changed was that the licensures for assisted-living facilities. The new bill mandates that all assisted-living facilities that serve the elderly must be licensed by […]
