KRISTIAN: No, Donald Trump is not a libertarian president by any measure

The American Conservative is a reliable source of thoughtful commentary, and an outlet to which I am happy to contribute on occasion. For these reasons I was prepared to give a fair reading to a Monday article, “Donald Trump: The Most Libertarian President Since Silent Cal,” by Ryan James Girdusky — as much as the headline inclined me otherwise. Unfortunately, no reading can make Girdusky’s case persuasive. President Trump is not libertarian by any measure, not even the extremely low bar of being the most […]

COMMENTARY: Trump IS NOT remotely close to being a “libertarian” president

Shortly after 11 PM last night, I received an alert from Google with an as-it-happens update (as that is a way we do find our news sometimes) and the headline from this particular article made me want to puke because the word was taken way out of context. I'm referring to an article written by The American Conservative and Red Alert Politics columnist Ryan Girdusky, entitled "Donald Trump: The Most Libertarian President Since Silent Cal." Nothing can be further from […]

Libertarian Party: Private-sector sexual misconduct punished while politicians let off easy

WASHINGTON (Heartland Newsfeed/Libertarian National Committee) -- Sexual misconduct has long been a problem in both the public and private spheres, but today there is a stark difference between intolerance of sexual misconduct in the world of business and tolerance in the world of politics. Private-sector organizations have begun taking decisive action to cut ties with sexual predators, while political institutions continue to tolerate and even celebrate them. Here are some examples of how private-sector businesses deal with allegations of sexual misconduct: […]

Experts: Democratic candidates for governor float unworkable, expensive healthcare ideas

CHICAGO (Illinois News Network) -- Several Democratic candidates for Illinois governor are floating ideas they say will improve Illinois’ healthcare outcomes, but critics of the various plans say the ideas are unworkable and expensive. Billionaire J.B. Pritzker said in a campaign video he wants a new program called IllinoisCares. “We should be focused on expanding affordable healthcare, not eliminating it,” Pritzker said, criticizing the Trump administration and congressional Republicans’ attempts at dismantling the Affordable Care Act. “That’s why I have […]
