Nobody, formerly known as Rich Paul, de-platformed from Twitter over hyperbolic Clinton remark

KEENE, N.H. (Heartland Newsfeed) -- A Republican candidate for governor in New Hampshire was permanently de-platformed from Twitter Sunday following an obvious hyperbolic tweet made on the platform. Candidate Nobody (formerly known as Rich Paul) responded to remarks that Karen Lytle (@karenlytle711) made in response to a tweet made by Michigan Congressman Justin Amash. It’s like Pavlov’s dogs. The moment Hillary speaks, a lot of men lose their minds. It actually crosses political ideology. #misogyny — Karma's Quid Pro Quo […]

Healthcare takes center stage during second round of Democratic debates

Bernie Sanders' Medicare for All plan that would enroll every American in a government-run national health insurance system funded by taxpayers and other options that would allow Americans to retain their private insurance plans. Former Maryland Rep. John Delaney opened the debate […]

The critical failure of political parties

However [political parties] may now and then answer popular ends, they are likely in the course of time and things, to become potent engines, by which cunning, ambitious, and unprincipled men will be enabled to subvert the power of the people and to usurp for themselves the reins of government, destroying afterwards the very engines which have lifted them to unjust dominion. – George Washington We as Americans often look back to our Founding Fathers for guidance when grappling with […]

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 […]

Johnson considering run for U.S. Senate as a Libertarian

SANTA FE (Heartland Newsfeed) -- A former New Mexico governor is considering a run for U.S. Senate as a Libertarian in November's general election. Following a June primary that resulted in not enough votes to ballot-qualify and recounts that didn't help, the Libertarian Party of New Mexico is seeking a way to retain their major party status. That may very well likely happen should Gary Johnson choose to run. Johnson, a former two-term Republican governor, ran for president three times […]
