RIP P. J. O'Rourke.  My favorite PJ writing was "The King of Sandusky, Ohio," a chapter in his book "Republican Party Reptile."  Here is PJ's last column on cato.org/commentary/ame…. I love this column, but I promise not to be a nincompoop if I am elected to the US Senate.

Our nation is not stronger as long as the Washington bipartisan spendathon continues.

Thank you Muddied Waters Media for having me on your show!

#LP affiliates nominated some extraordinary candidates needing help to stay in their respective races that are fixed against 3rd parties & independents. Do what you can $, expertise, and volunteering, and spread the word. A few: Larry Sharpe @wilsonfortngov Mark Tippetts Bill Redpath for US Senate

If you really wanted to do something for democracy, you would publicly urge your party, which controls the legislature and Governor's office, to change IL's repressive ballot access laws, which systematically blocks candidates from the ballot and reduces options for voters.

What does it say about the R's & D's when the Federal Government has such huge budget deficits, and they can't even end Saturday mail delivery to save a few bucks? No hope with them. Vote Libertarian. Vote Redpath for US Senate from Illinois.

Hallelujah! Let's hope so! fee.org/articles/reaga…

It's been said that government's dirty little secret is that it redistributes income upward, not downward.  That often appears to be true, especially today reason.com/2022/08/23/bid…

I'm not a day late and a dollar short today if I wish my former U of Chicago professor and current Libertarian running mate (for Comptroller of Illinois) Deirdre McCloskey Happy 80.003!

Please vote for the entire Libertarian Party statewide candidate slate in Illinois today. If one of our candidates gets 5%+ of the vote, it will make it easier for Libertarian candidates to get on the ballot in future elections. Thank you for your support and votes!

You've got to give Donald Trump credit for at least one thing in his State of the Union Address last night. He takes intelligence insulting to a whole new level.

The Cato Institute will stream "What is the True State of the Union?" today from 3:30 to 4pm ET. Here is a link to register: cato.org/partner-briefi…

The Wall Street Journal today called for the repeal of the Jones Act. I agree. It is an insidious form of corporate welfare that need to go--permanently.

FCC Chairman Brendan Carr's threat of non-renewal of broadcasters' FCC licenses for broadcast news he and the Trump Admin don't like shows there has never been a better time to transfer ownership of the spectrum to broadcasters and abolish the Federal Communications Commission.
