Mind the Gap: A Strategy For Saying Libertarian Things

The Tenth Amendment Center's Michael Boldin calls it "the Horton rule." (It is my rule, but I didn't name it that.) It goes like this: Because libertarians are so dang good on everything -- better than the left on things the left is good on (e.g.: gays, drugs, cops, wars) and better than the right on the things they're good on (e.g. markets, guns, debt, taxes) -- that means that when trying to influence regular people, that we always have the opportunity to attack the left from the left and the right from the right in order to show them the path to freedom.

11/22/19 Donald Bolduc on Limiting US Military Intervention

Donald Bolduc shares some of his experience from his time overseas with the U.S. army during the terror wars. He spells out the fact that although America's mission is ostensibly to suppress groups like Al-Qaeda and ISIS, we often end up supporting the very same people in one place that are the enemy elsewhere. This happened in Mali, fighting those we had supported in the regime change war in Libya in 2011, and in Syria, where America sided with Al-Qaeda-affiliated rebels in the rebellion against Assad.

Peter Van Buren rehashes some of the details behind the surveillance of the Trump campaign through FISA warrants on Carter Page and George Papadopoulos, which originally opened up the "Russiagate" investigation into Trump. Now the same anti-Trump plot has expanded into the current Ukraine hearings.
