First Statewide LP Win is Difficult BUT Possible I had the pleasure of interviewing a Libertarian statewide candidate for office who has some of the necessary conditions for victory BUT NOT all yet. Todd Hagopian is the LP nominee for Oklahoma State Corporation Commission. The Commission is an obscure but powerful agency that regulates the […]

NOT Proof But Evidence! More evidence of Creation – note not proof – can’t PROVE God. Faith is the EVIDENCE of things NOT SEEN (Hebrews 12:1) (BTW, think on this – what human would come up with that idea? Not very likely it seems to me – but there it is in the Bible written […]

But NOT Until After Church! First Things First! Yes I plan to listen in and live blog on the LP VP balloting. Dr. Jo Jorgensen (I have reached out to her and offered to help – maybe a blog interview is what I am thinking) and now who will be VP? Now since church has […]

True Drama! One of the reasons I love the LP convention (and probably would love the Greens too but I admit I have not invited to attend their online convention and I do have significant disagreement with the many of their policies; now I respect the heck out of those who join and are involved […]

The Libertarian Party selects its Presidential candidate! On Saturday, May 23, the LP will select in a virtual convention its Presidential candidate (The VP nod is selected on the next day) and there are several candidates, including one from Virginia: Jacob Hornberger. Since the disappointing exit of Rep. Justin Amash from the Presidential race (I […]

This is the second in the Lincoln-Douglas Debates II series – the Sanders-Scott Debates. The first entries, on abortion policy, are here and here. Crossposted at Foggy Bottom Line. Military service taught me a lot about weapons. No Army officer would issue a sidearm, rifle, or tank to anyone who had not demonstrated training proficiency and trustworthiness. We didn’t let just […]

Your Vote in November for President Could Decide your Right to Keep and Bear Arms! It may not happen again. But I have to thank Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau for demonstrating the essential importance of gun rights enshrined in basic law (from the CBC): Trudeau announces ban on 1,500 types of ‘assault-style’ firearms — […]

If So What Does That Say About God? Are we just a chance collection of molecules or a creation of a Designer: But this essay is not concerned with dinosaurs themselves, rather with the kind of thinking biologists use when they wonder how dinosaur bodies worked. They are asking what was the purpose of the […]

Law Should Be Obeyed, BUT Reform is Appropriate! Here is the pertinent text of the crime that General Michael Flynn was accused of (18 USC 1001): (a) Except as otherwise provided in this section, whoever, in any matter within the jurisdiction of the executive, legislative, or judicial branch of the Government of the United States, […]

Not Yet A Sanders Endorsement BUT Perhaps Interview Shortly Gideon Oakes, the Libertarian who got the third highest percentage in a three way race (nearly 19%), and who arguably lives in one of the most beautiful districts in the USA (the Black Hills of South Dakota) and who was endorsed by Virginia Blogger Sanders in […]

Certainly a Long Shot but Possible There are two ways Libertarian Representative Justin Amash could win the the Presidency. Note I did not say: Win the ELECTION (with a majority of the popular vote). No, I said win the Presidency. The first scenario is for Amash to win say 60 million votes. As it would […]

The Governor Should Say YES! The danger is real: You, Virginia citizen might have only two choices for President (or US Senate): Republican President Trump and Democrat former Vice President Biden (unless the Dems give him the boot). The Libertarians (118,274, 3.0 percent) and the Greens (27,638, 0.7%) will not be on the ballot – […]

A Great Anti-Imperialist Holiday! I almost forgot. I happened to see the date this AM and realized: It’s Cinco de Mayo! Go here for some background on this anti-imperialist holiday – not Mexican independence day (That’s in September) but it was on May 5, 1862 that the Mexican army defeated French invaders trying to establish […]

She’s Not Supposed To Win; But This IS a Very Weird Election… I wrote this post several weeks on the Kimberly Klacik phenomenon. It’s almost too bad that this African-American conservative is in a district and state where it will be nearly impossible for her to win election. She is stunningly attractive, refreshingly pro-Trump, clear […]

Two fine, sincere candidates very wrong (mostly) on issues I was invited by a progressive friend to listen in on a debate (let’s call it a forum) sponsored by the Hanover County Democratic Committee (thank you John Suddarth) between the two candidates for the Democratic nod to face incumbent GOP Rob Wittman: The 2018 nominee […]

Could he Lose the Fifth District Seat? Maybe… I heard an extraordinary piece of news yesterday on John Fredericks that I hope is in error. Fredericks said that there is a good chance, since the levers of power in the GOP Fifth Congressional District have shifted to his opponent, that Cong. Denver Riggleman could well […]

I’ve written in the past about existential issues – policy questions that settle the political debate for many Americans. Some focus on Second Amendment rights, others on taxes or religion. Abortion – reproductive health care – is one of the big ones. Most activists frame the abortion discussion in terms of rights. The pro-life side […]

Let’s Start With What It Is: Willful Taking of a Human Life I found out in my research that there is some dissent or at least some questioning the idea that science says life begins a conception. From WIRED: Inside the body, fertilization can happen hours or even days after insemination, as the sperm travels […]
