As the Libertarian Party’s nominee for president, Dr. Jo Jorgensen has an interesting perspective to share. She is a professor, mother, grandmother and long-time principled libertarian. She stands in stark contrast to Trump and Biden on a range of issues. But her campaign lacks moral clarity on a key one: abortion. In an interview with…
The Libertarian Party is choosing its nominee for President and Vice President of the United States this weekend. As a longtime party member and activist, and a California delegate to our National Convention, I’ve had the pleasure of receiving many emails, texts, messages and phone calls from individuals running for the nomination. Most of…
#FakeNews existed before Facebook, and #CancelCulture existed before Twitter. The press engaged in both of these when all news was in ink. Shamelessly, wild narratives in Opinion Editorials being peddled as fact or universal truth have long existed. Legendary Progressive Rock Band RUSH learned this the hard way when a journalist attempted to sabotage their…
Initiated by Australia in the World Health Assembly, several nations have signed onto a resolution calling for an independent investigation into the origins, cause, and handling of the COVID-19 virus. Currently, the total number of nations backing this endeavor is 116, including Russia, every EU member state, Japan, and more. The resolution itself uses particularly…
Unlike the typical concerns of rising COVID-19 cases in the United States prison system, it now appears inmates are attempting to spread the virus among themselves—likely to force a release due to health concerns. As can be seen in the following video evidence edited and compiled by YouTube content creator Memology, in L.A. a recent…
Sweden’s unique approach to the COVID-19 pandemic has been drawing a great deal of scrutiny for weeks, including both admiration and criticism. The Swedes, unlike most other nations, have eschewed the hardline approach that has led to mass economic shutdowns and skyrocketing unemployment. Restaurants, bars, public pools, libraries and most schools remain open. While the…
by Joshua Ferguson Like many libertarians, small ‘l’ and large ‘L’ alike, I have been watching the entrance of Congressman Justin Amash into the Libertarian Party Presidential contest with some interest. And, I’m going to have to disagree with the opinions of Bob DiCostanzo in his recent article published on The Libertarian Republic. I’d like…
I have great respect for Tom Woods and Dave Smith. They are both smart, talented and have interesting things to say. However, their recent conversation on Woods’ podcast about the problems with Justin Amash’s candidacy was not very persuasive. Woods and Smith focused a great deal on Amash’s temperament and how he conveys his ideas…
At the end of February, I published an article describing in detail the lengths to which Jacob Hornberger went to undermine the campaign of eventual 2000 Libertarian presidential nominee, Harry Browne. Shortly after, Hornberger—now a leading candidate for the 2020 nomination—referenced those events during a debate at the Libertarian Party of Iowa’s state convention. A…
A significant world issue seemingly overlooked amidst the chaos of the pandemic is ongoing activity involving China and Africa. It does not bode well for any part of the world save China—and that includes Africa. As the communist superstate continues on its path towards expansion economically, logistically, and militarily, Africa is firmly fixed in its…
