After Cardi B launched a taxation tirade against Uncle Sam on Instagram, ReasonTV's Remy took on the challenge of explaining what's happening with all her money.

How many roads must a man walk down Before you call him a man? How many seas must a white dove sail Before she sleeps in the sand? Yes, and how many times must the cannonballs fly Before they're forever banned? The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind The answer is blowin' in the wind Yes, and how many years can a mountain exist Before it's washed to the sea? Yes, and how many years can some people exist Before they're allowed to be free? Yes, and how many times can a man turn his head And pretend that he just doesn't see? The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind The answer is blowin' in the wind Yes, and how many times must a man look up Before he can see the sky? Yes, and how many ears must one man have Before he can hear people cry? Yes, and how many deaths will it take 'til he knows That too many people have died? The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind The answer is blowin' in the wind....

Libertarians approve, apparently: https://t.co/lUnWERDNHZ pic.twitter.com/ocDBlv4NOj — Jordan B Peterson (@jordanbpeterson) April 12, 2018 The link is to an article at 71 Republic that begins: In 1996 and 2000, the Libertarian Party nominated a self-help author as its presidential candidate. Harry Browne was a veteran, capitalist, and investment guide that managed to grab the nomination spot for the LP. His advocacy for strong Libertarian principles, refusal to take federal matching funds, and charisma made him the type of Libertarian we were all longing for after 2016. What stands out about him, though, is his book How I Found Freedom in an Unfree World. Being Libertarian, the book was, of course, about freedom, yet the related books on Amazon are not radical manifestos or economic treatises. Rather, they are self-help books. Why in the world would a Libertarian activist and author be writing self-help? Browne wrote this book because he realized the libertarian movemen...

Adam Kokesh is calling for a "new American revolution" and running for POTUS in 2020 on a platform of an "orderly dissolution of the federal government." He's a very interesting person and very smart. You can read some about him on Wikipedia. His websites are: The Freedom Line KokeshForPresident.com First big question on my mind for Adam is what do we do with the nukes in an orderly dissolution of the United States?

Jordan Peterson's Channel 4 Interview with Cathy Newman

Ugh... another pep rally. The party in power always says how good things are and how it's only going to get better if we keep them in power. The party out of power always says how bad things are and it's only going to get better if we unseat the ruling party. This has been going on forever. Of course it has been. Problem is, they flip back and forth, in and out of power against each other with pretty great regularity. And society seems to move in the same general direction regardless of which party is in power. And the past few years can't really be all good or all bad the way these parties make it out to be. Just because of one political party. When it just so happens to be the thing they need to say at that moment to get back in or stay in power. Maybe they call it a convention because it is very conventional, what's always been done, for obvious reasons. The script writes itself. And couldn't write itself any other way. Yawn.

Yes, wolves exist, but we shouldn't trust the boy who cries wolf with the responsibility of alerting us to the real ones. Yes, racists exist, but a racist these days is all too often really just a conservative winning an argument with a liberal. You've seen big government propagandists do it again and again. They will bend over backwards to assail defenders of liberty as racists on the basis of flimsy circumstantial evidence and rationally deficient arguments used to smear their targets by insinuation, false association, and outright fabrication. When the Tea Party was in full swing waving a million anti-tax signs across the nation, all too many of its critics jumped on any opportunity, no matter how ridiculous or outright fabricated, to cast the fiscal policy movement as a sinister bastion of racism. The NAACP passed a resolution in 2010 calling on the Tea Party to purge its ranks of racists or accept responsibility for them. The NAACP and its cheerleaders were heavy o...

In response to some recent comments on my popular libertarian essay about abortion , it's time for me to mention that my views have shifted. I would argue that for the purpose of discussing law and public policy, the critically relevant issue is not the nature of the fetus as I have argued before, but the nature of the state. Let's come up with a libertarian consensus on abortion that even if a human fetus is a living human being entitled to self-ownership and non-aggression, and even if to abort a human fetus is to murder a human being, that we still don't want to pass a law against it in a monopoly legislature, appoint a standing army of career policethugs, and try to enforce that law with money we take from people against their will and under threat of violence-- because if all that isn't bad enough to begin with, even if protecting human fetuses was the only thing this government did, before long it would end up doing a hundred other unrelated things that make us ...

By: Wes Messamore Ron Paul’s strategy to win the Republican Party’s presidential nomination to challenge President Obama for the White House in November is quietly proceeding as planned, and after major delegate wins in Colorado, Minnesota, and Iowa this weekend, the “Ron Paul Revolution” as Paul’s supporters call it, has the Mitt Romney campaign and GOP establishment in a panic.

By: Wes Messamore Imagine a system of voting entirely different than the one Americans are used to, but which would likely give third parties and even independent candidates a chance to win more fair representation for their views in Congress and create a more robust public policy process. That system could be proportional representation. Read the rest of my article at The Independent Voter Network .   Wes Messamore , Editor in Chief, T H L Articles | Author's Page

By: Wes Messamore Fox News reports : Newt Gingrich plans to formally leave the Republican presidential race next Tuesday, senior campaign aides told Fox News, after struggling for months to turn around his sagging bid for the White House. The former House speaker will "more than likely" endorse Mitt Romney when he makes his announcement to either suspend or end the campaign, a source said. The decision comes after Gingrich huddled with senior advisers following the five primaries Romney swept on Tuesday night. Romney's victories made it virtually impossible for Gingrich to secure the 1,144 delegates needed for the Republican nomination. Gingrich's exit is a stark turnaround from his public posture just a few months back, when in December he confidently declared following his rise in national polls that he's "going to be the nominee." His campaign then flagged until his blockbuster victory in the South Carolina primary in late January -- Gin...

By: Timothy Troutner Rahm Emanuel expressed the prevailing wisdom in American politics when he said, “Never let a serious crisis go to waste. What I mean by that is it’s an opportunity to do things you couldn’t do before.” This sentiment is becoming the essence of modern politics. Nothing matters in and of itself. Crises are tools to be used to an end. Many politicians use the news not to form opinions or gather facts, but to bring attention to themselves and the changes they wish to make. If the first commandment is to never let a crisis go to waste, the second is like unto it: never let a tragedy go to waste. Trayvon Martin’s death has captivated the American people. We all feel for a family going through the death of a teenager, and we all want to see justice done, whatever that may mean in this case. Because of the emotional impact of the case, it is fertile ground for manipulation and exploitation. Read the rest of Timothy Troutner's oped at The Independent Voter Network...

By: Wes Messamore From my latest article: Likewise, when many party-line stalwarts in the GOP call for Holder’s head, it’s not hard to imagine that the Attorney General is in more trouble for having the wrong letter next to his name than he is for any actual malfeasance. But when a politician as principled and independent as Rep. Justin Amash (R-MI) adds his voice to the growing chorus of calls for resignation, pundits should take notice.

By: Wes Messamore If you want to know why I support Ron Paul for president, all you need to do is take a look at the following short video from a Republican Party presidential debate. The candidates are asked where they would like to set tax rates. Only one says the income tax should be 0% --and then has the depth of statesmanship and level of economic understanding to say that the hidden "inflation tax" should be 0% as well. Ron Paul is looking out for you. Mitt Romney is looking out for big government. As you file your income taxes, tell me, who do you really want in the White House?
