Editors: Have you looked @ lp.org recently? I looked at it yesterday, and it included a repost of a column by Ron Paul on the Italian elections, which seemed to welcome the victory of the nationalist coalition headed by the woman who has not hesitated to praise Mussolini. It also reposts a column by someone else celebrating the 11 Republicans…
Third Party Watch
In announcing she was leaving the Democraps, Tulsi Gabbard did not say whether she would become a true Independent, a Rethuglican, a capital-L Libertarian, or a Green. (This ex-Green shudders at the possibility of her joining the Green 2024 presidential field. I’m an ex-Green for current political purposes, but no, not a Democrap. But, I still eye Greens. And I’ll cut her…
Through a vigorous 50-state effort and a well-planned and financed campaign, the Mises Caucus and its supporters have taken near-complete control of the Libertarian National Committee and its Judicial Committee.

Both Massachusetts groups have recently put up new web pages, the traditional Massachusetts group at LPMASS.org, and the LNC-recognized group at LPofMA.org. The pages are both bright and attractive.
