OP-ED: Control the language and control history

The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism. But, under the name of 'liberalism,' they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program. - Norman Thomas, 1928 During a decade of political chaos that brought us the works of Simone de Beauvoir, Jean-Paul Sartre, Aldous Huxley and Vladimir Lenin, George Orwell reacted to this mobocracy introducing the world to his dystopian Big Brother. His book "1984" was an attempt to dissuade existentialism in a world reinventing itself after two great […]

Best place for kidding around in Europe

I'm often inspired by families on the road. Last summer, on a ferry between Scotland's Oban and the Isle of Mull, I met a family from Texas. The parents were taking their kids on a year-long adventure through Europe and told me how they'd realized there's no better education or quality family time than traveling together — and I wholeheartedly agree. The key is balancing educational sightseeing with fun activities. After years of traveling with me around Europe, my kids […]

Rix Quinn’s Minute Story: Dog days

I've always wondered why they call this month "the Dog Days of August." Frankly, that puzzle hounded me. Finally, after barking up several wrong trees, I sniffed out an answer. Long, long ago (before “reality” television), ancient astronomers named a star “Sirius.” They called it the Dog Star because it was part of the constellation Canis Major (the greater dog). Sirius usually rose during July, and burned brightest during steamy late August days, when everyone sweats more than an ice […]

COMMENTARY: Questionable ethics of St. Jerome Parish’s Fancy Farm Picnic panders to political duopoly, excludes Libertarian candidates

An annual event hosted by a Kentucky Catholic parish may have their not-for-profit status at risk following a July 26 letter. St. Jerome Parish, which hosts the annual two-day picnic at Fancy Farm, an unincorporated community in the northwestern part of Kentucky, and the event's organizers drafted a letter July 26 denying Libertarians time to speak during the candidate speeches on Saturday, August 3. It referenced a letter from Libertarian gubernatorial candidate John Hicks and running mate Ann Cormican, written […]

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 […]

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 […]
