From the desk of Sarah Bella, Founder May 20, 2026 Dear friends in liberty, Regrettably, I will not be able to join you as a delegate this Memorial Day weekend for the Libertarian National Convention on account of a slight case of Kauffman. I hope everyone got to Grand Rapids safely, and I look forward…

The Party of Plastic Princely Pals
They would do anything for love, including that. Love him or hate him, but for all his foibles, Ronald Reagan had a way with words that we don’t often see in government. Nixon had “I am not a crook.” Ouch. Bush had “Read my lips; no new taxes.” Yeah, right. Clinton had “sexual relations with…

More From The Mean Girls: “You Don’t Have A Job”
So many people who run the Libertarian Party are self-made. And I think we all know why that is. Neurodivergence among libertarians is neurotypical. I mean, how often do we meet freedom-obsessed ‘normies’? Hardly ever. It’s why we struggle to keep ballot access. Freedom is a popular idea, but so is safety. So is expediency.…

Political Empathy For Dummies
People on the left claim to care about the out-groups. People on the right claim to care about the in-groups. Most of them don’t. Of them, many care little about the success or plight of others. They’re simply practicing communal narcissism, or inflated self-importance resulting from an association with an institution or group, particularly one…

Demographic Destiny & Dissociation and The Future of Poli-Psy Marketing
Demographic destiny, as it pertains to modern political science, is the idea that demographic trends shift the direction of sociopolitical attitudes. It is commonly associated with 19th-century French philosopher Auguste Comte and is the current primary electoral strategy of the Democratic Party.

100 Million on Welfare, Not Including Corporations
100 Fifteen million people are receiving welfare (I just found this ‘statistic’ amusing) because the political-industrial complex destroyed the economy. It wasn’t ‘the people,’ it was special interest groups. How could anybody blame the victims? I wish we had a system that could actually allow most individuals to sustain themselves, but we don’t. We have…

‘You didn’t build that…’
President Obama: ‘You didn’t build that…’ I’m sorry, but all of these things in this photo are regulated by government, not owned or invented by it, and paid for with OUR tax dollars, collectively and individually. The only way you could give government direct credit would be to deny that we the People give…

Marijuana and the will of the voters.
Say what you will about marijuana. Call it the ‘devil’s weed.’ Bring up ‘Reefer Madness.’ Tell me you didn’t vote for Prop 215. Spout off whatever propaganda you like, but remember this: the initiative that California voters approved is 12 years old already. So why are dispensaries still illegal in most of Orange County?…

Satire: Behind the curtain: searching for the ‘Wizard of Oc’
I was one with the yellow brick road, the streets of gold, and the highway to hell (or as one indigenous to the left coast would say, the ‘freeway’ to hell), and now I have arrived. 3300 miles and I have arrived where exactly? Who the hell knows? Everything looks the same! When we still…

Planet Earth: we’re ‘all in’ as faith and science ‘collide.’

Bill Clinton speech liveblog.
Michelle Obama. What was THAT look for? Are you THAT pissed at Bill? The camera panned away QUICKLY after it saw that. OK, Bill Clinton made it clear unequivocally that he’s in Denver to support Obama, and now Michelle is smiling. Maybe she wasn’t pissed at Bill. So why did she look so angry? Again.…

Free by birth. Libertarian by choice.
It’s been long overdue. Though I was born into a Democratic family, I was a Reagan Democrat and a Clinton Centrist. I was the one at family dinners who used to debate my step-siblings’ old-generation Republican grandparents to revel in their glee and excitement as they watched me give the family know-it-alls a taste of…

The Iraqis are moving on up… and we don’t get our piece of the pie.
Our Gas Buddy meter is indicating that the cheapest gas in Orange County is priced at $3.95/gallon. With the falling price of crude oil, it comes as no surprise that prices are finally declining, but does anyone else think that it isn’t enough? As James Carville might say, ‘It’s the oil, stupid!’ CNN is reporting…

‘Semi-Weakly’ Review (‘World At War’ Edition) – July 21-27: America in danger, ending oil speculation, plus racial equality & Barack Hussein Obama
“Madam Speaker, I have, for the past 35 years, expressed my grave concern for the future of America . The course we have taken over the past century has threatened our liberties, security and prosperity. In spite of these long-held concerns, I have days–growing more frequent all the time–when I’m convinced the time is now…
