McARDLE PAPERS: Operational issues in the national Libertarian Party

PART 2: Organizational, operational issues plague party

In Part 1, we uncovered some underlying corruption of the Libertarian National Committee. This comes as a result of a leaked data cache that was released to the media late last week. In the opener of this investigative series, Heartland Newsfeed unfolded what were apparent mistakes by the current LNC to reform the party. We also detailed the Committee's fear of conflict, their conflicts of interest, their cults of personality, and other elements essentially halting progress in the party. Finally, […]

McARDLE PAPERS: Corruption in the national Libertarian Party

PART 1: Former LNC regional rep and LPWA chair tells all about the LNC

Earlier this week, a large data dump was leaked to members of the media, as well as media outlets within the circles of the Libertarian Party. The leaked information through an undisclosed source details leading up to the 2022 takeover by the Trump-adjacent alt-right in Reno, Nev. A lot of the actions considered as corruption by the source surrounds that of the Mises Caucus faction of the party, whose worldview is the clear and exact opposite of its so-called namesake, […]

Focus turns to downed power lines

MAUI, Hawaii (UPI) -- The death toll from the Maui wildfires climbed to 111 Wednesday night, as crews continue to fight last week's wind-fueled fires and investigators work to determine a cause. While hundreds remain missing, Hawaiian Electric is facing scrutiny and a lawsuit for failing to shut-down active power lines during the high winds. While no official cause for the fires has been determined, the power monitoring company Whisker Labs believes the first fire on Maui may have been caused by […]

IRS to no longer make unannounced visits

WASHINGTON (UPI) -- The IRS has announced a significant policy update on Monday, ending unannounced visits by officers. The move ends a practice the agency has employed for decades.

Blistering heat to expand across Midwest

(AccuWeather) -- The dome of heat that has baked the southwestern United States through July and obliterated long-standing temperature records will expand its reach over the center of the country and affect millions more with dangerously hot weather. AccuWeather forecasters say that while the pattern may not promote widespread record high temperatures over the Central states, similar to what has been experienced over the Southwest, many locations could experience the most sustained period of heat and humidity yet this summer.

The bank’s customers — and, by extension, the bank itself — are definitely getting a […]
