Introduction In the mainstream view, al-Qaeda did not play a role in the Syria conflict until Islamic State of Iraq (ISI) leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi dispatched his deputy, Abu Muhammad al-Jolani, to Syria in August 2011 to establish a wing of the group there, called Jabhat al-Nusra, or the Nusra Front. Additionally, al-Qaeda allegedly did not carry out any military operations until December 2011 and did not announce its establishment until January 2012. However, there is evidence that al-Qaeda affiliated militants were involved in the Syrian conflict much earlier. Saudi intelligence...

The Economics of Ignorant Voters. Bryan Caplan and Keith Knight
https://youtu.be/Bf984AcAmDQ It is no crime to be ignorant of economics, which is, aft er all, a specialized discipline and one that most people consider to be a “dismal science.” But it is totally irresponsible to have a loud and vociferous opinion on economic subjects while remaining in this state of ignorance.

Rothbard Egalitarianism as a Revolt Against Nature, p. 202 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bryan Caplan is a...

The Counter Revolution
Police and fireman are a powerful force in city politics. They show up and vote. Union members are active in door-to-door politics. The politicians need them to raise revenue and protect them from the wrath of the masses. Now they are threatening their paychecks. https://twitter.com/jasmineviel/status/1268961412241473539
Uncle Joe Biden Is Really Losing It
He threatens to slap this voter for saying he's against the second amendment. Don't worry, he only wants to take away your 100 round AR-14 magazines, so it's cool....
Holy Moly
Watch Joe Biden pretend he opposed Iraq War II, that he voted to authorize it just so Bush could send inspectors back in, which is a total lie, and that he never believed or claimed that Saddam had WMDs. He was just trying to trick Bush into disproving it. What a bunch of crapola....
Hahahaha.
I know it'll be horrible for the United States of America, and I honestly fear I might die laughing, but God I hope it's true that Hillary is running. I've been saying it all along. The rest of the field is just too weak. She must be telling herself that she's the only one who can do it. Hahaha. Jesus. I can't even write this without starting to laugh my ass off about it. I might even vote for her in the Texas primary just to see her lose the general again. What...
House Votes To Condemn Syria Withdrawal
Democrats unanimous!
Misinformed Voters
This will probably come as no surprise to regular readers of LI, but a 2018 survey on basic political knowledge revealed that the average American voter is not simply uninformed, but is systematically misinformed. The survey asked 24 questions to a sample of 1,000 American voters, 18 of which had dichotomous responses (e.g. True/False). If you were to blindfold a respondent, give them two buttons to signify their responses, and never ask them the questions, they would still be right, on average, about 50% of the time. Compare that to the American voter, who correctly answered only 42.9%...
