Liberal Party USA held their inaugural convention in Houston this weekend. While this author had hoped to attend, circumstances prevented travel. As most readers here know, I am clearly in support of the argument for a classic liberal party. So while this is intended to be as unbiased as possible, please excuse any on my part that may filter in.…

An opinion statement from Susan Hogarth, referring to a recent change in the policy manual. Hogarth writes: This is such ridiculous Animal Farm level nonsense that it would be amusing if I didn’t care about the Libertarian Party. This is a Policy Manual change implemented by the current LNC. The Bylaws are not changeable by the sitting LNC, but the…

I had hoped to post these seriatim, but events have intervened. There is no point to taking them down and reposting next week, but posting will resume next week.

As there is great interest in the Mises Caucus, we are presenting these documents as a series here. The original PDF with color images is here. * This document is a supplementary document to the…
The attention of readers is drawn to Matt Taibbi’s substack column https://www.racket.news/p/the-democrats-dirty-tricks-playbook and schemes used to disable various third party candidates.
