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…
Ladies and gentlemen, the Libertarian party officially has representation in Congress. No, they didn’t win an election or anything, but Justin Amash switched his registration from Independent to Libertarian prior to announcing an exploratory committee for the party’s presidential nomination on Tuesday. There had been rumors last week that Amash purchased a lifetime membership, but…
After what may have actually been the world’s longest flirtation period, independent Representative Justin Amash declared on Tuesday he was forming an exploratory committee to seek the Libertarian party’s nomination for president. While not technically a presidential campaign announcement, an exploratory committee is usually a mere formality before launching the campaign itself. Amash, a rising…
Pending any postponements due to COVID 19, the Libertarian national convention is less than two months away. Over a thousand delegates will convene, either in Austin, Texas or over some sort of virtual method, at the end of May to choose the party’s presidential and vice presidential nominees. It has seemed to be mostly a…
It’s been inevitable for nearly a month now, but on Wednesday it became official: Bernie Sanders dropped out. This now means the 2020 presidential race will come down to two old, white men with a strong support for the drug war, anti-immigrant sentiment, warmongering tendencies, and rape allegations. Not surprisingly, this result has seen Sanders’…
Last week, I published an in-depth article that attempted to best answer the question “Did Jacob Hornberger rig the New York primary?” The short answer is that, based on the information I received from multiple venerable sources, Hornberger and his campaign did nothing to rig the primary or get other candidates kicked off the ballot….
At the beginning of March, controversy arose in the Libertarian Party of New York (LPNY) after it was announced that, out of the eight qualified candidates for the 2020 Libertarian presidential nomination, seven of them were being kicked off the ballot. The one candidate who remained: Jacob Hornberger. While all primaries in the Libertarian Party…
Last week, the 2020 Libertarian presidential primary got a little spicy when Mark Whitney, a fairly new and at-the-time surging candidate, told our very own Gary Doan exactly what he thought of two of his competitors, Jacob Hornberger and Lincoln Chafee. Whitney also used some choice epithets, which prompted the Libertarian Party of Florida to…
I recently had a chance to talk with Mark Whitney. He’s an entrepreneur, comedian, and storyteller who’s currently running for the Libertarian presidential nomination, a path that seems to have been set by, of all things, bank fraud. I talked to him about several things; positions on the issues, the party platform, and Star Wars….
The day of the Iowa Caucuses (or as it turns out, the first day of the caucuses), I had a chance to talk to Jacob Hornberger. He’s the president and founder of the Future of Freedom Foundation, and is currently running for the Libertarian presidential nomination with the backing of the Mises Caucus. He’s got…
