Liberty carrots are the best carrots 🥕

We would need 91 Elons paying his record $11 Billion in annual taxes just to service the interest on our national debt. We would need 178 Elons, all paying that record tax bill, to pay off the national debt in 20 years. And even that would require Congress to not add to the debt for a full 20 years.

Cute theory, let's play it out.

A monkey hoards a trillion bananas. The troop, enraged, beats him to death. They gather around the pile to feast at last.

But... oh wait, there is no pile.

It turns out the "bananas" were shares in a banana-launching company the dead monkey founded.

The shares were worth a trillion because he was alive to run it.

Now he is dead and the stock is worth $0.

The retarded monkeys have clubbed their way into a recession.

But it gets worse.

Half the "bananas" were tied up in a rocket that supplies bananas to monkeys on the far mountain who had no bananas at all.

Another chunk was tied up in a little satellite dish that beamed banana coordinates to the troop after a flood took out their trees.

So now they realized they beat to death the only monkey who knew how the dish worked.

So the monkeys sit there.

No bananas.
No rockets.
No coordinates to get more banananas.

Just a dead body and a powerful sense of fairness as they all now became infinitely poorer.

OH

And somewhere a smaller monkey watches the whole thing and quietly decides he will never build anything in front of these animals again.

USA. A breakfast counter. The waitress recommended the biscuits and gravy, and when the plate arrived, I thought something had gone wrong in the kitchen.

I say this with shame. The dish looked like a construction site after rain. Pale mounds. Gray ladle-fall. Speckles I could not identify.

In my land, the eye eats first. A meal is arranged like a garden. This meal was arranged like weather.

"Is it… finished?" I asked, carefully.

"Honey, that's what it looks like."

The man beside me was already eating his. He did not look up. "Just try it."

I am a man who has charged hillsides at dawn. I raised the fork. I tried it.

I must now formally apologize to the biscuits, the gravy, the waitress, the kitchen, and the entire breakfast tradition of the American South.

It was magnificent. Warm. Peppered. The biscuit drank the gravy the way a field drinks rain — THAT is why it is shaped like that, you fool — and every mound I had insulted was a soft fold of comfort that my homeland, in eight hundred years, never once thought to invent.

"Well?" the waitress asked.

"I judged it," I confessed. "By its appearance. I am ashamed."

"Everybody does, hon."

Everybody does. A national dish that forgives you for doubting it. It expects the doubt. It waits for you on the other side of it.

Do not judge the gravy by its face. Judge yourself, for hesitating.

I order it every Saturday now. I no longer see the construction site. I see only the garden.

It was a garden the whole time. The eye must be trained.

Quick reminder that "hate speech" IS free speech, and the ongoing lawfare against Shiloh Hendrix is censorship masquerading as civility.

Ian Freeman is a political prisoner whose only "offense" was helping people use digital currency. It's time to end this injustice: bring Ian home and restore his freedom.

Crypto is not a crime.

Free Ian Freeman.

End the Biden war on crypto and free the Crypto Prisoners.

[Sonja Agora @SonjaAgora]

@ObvsBrandonWest Exactly. It's mind-boggling.

[Sonja Agora @SonjaAgora]

The national Libertarian Party is not meant to be a centralized, daddy-government structure that mimics our current federal government. Policy does not need to be mainlined from a central authority, that is the role of state affiliates of the party.

National LP exists to provide affiliate support and infrastructure. That's it.

There does seem to be some that are hell-bent on making the LP into some sort of policy-churning monstrosity that dictates to the affiliates what issue they seem as correct and viable.

It is antithetical to an anti-government political organization to strive to mimic the very structure we exist to oppose.

Was the Empire Worth It?

My grandfather was a paratrooper in the 82nd Airborne Division. On D-Day, June 6, 1944, he jumped into Normandy as part of the largest amphibious assault in history. Scattered by German anti-aircraft fire, he landed miles from his drop zone. His helmet slammed downward during the jump, knocking out his front teeth and leaving him concussed. Alone behind enemy lines, he relentlessly crawled through the swamps and farmland to rejoin Allied forces to continue the fight.

Like so many of the Greatest Generation who stormed the beaches and dropped from the skies that day, his service embodied courage, duty, and sacrifice. They defeated Nazi tyranny and saved Europe from one of history’s most monstrous regimes. Their bravery and resilience deserve eternal gratitude. We honor every soldier who gave their lives or bore the scars of Normandy.

Yet eighty-two years later, a harder question lingers: Was the American empire that emerged after World War II worth the cost to the republic they fought to preserve?

The Forgotten Warnings of the Old Right
Before Pearl Harbor, Senator Robert A. Taft stood as the leading voice of the Founding Father’s constitutional restraint, non-intervention abroad, and deep suspicion of centralized power. Taft opposed U.S. entanglement in European and Asian conflicts, arguing that America should focus on domestic problems and preserve liberty at home rather than pursue global crusades. He warned that war would expand executive authority, normalize deficit spending, erode private property rights, and entrench a permanent military establishment incompatible with a free society. In many ways, Taft foresaw the modern national security state.

The Founders shared this skepticism. George Washington warned against “entangling alliances” that could drag America into European ambitions. Thomas Jefferson championed “peace, commerce, and honest friendship with all nations, entangling alliances with none.” This was not isolationism but prudent non-interventionism: free trade, diplomacy, and strict neutrality in foreign quarrels, paired with unyielding defense of liberty at home.

As Ron Paul articulates in A Foreign Policy of Freedom, the Founders understood that domestic liberty and foreign policy rest on the same principles of limited government.

Pearl Harbor and the Road to War
President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s administration steadily escalated economic pressure on Japan amid its war in China. After Japan occupied southern French Indochina in July 1941, FDR froze Japanese assets and imposed a near-total oil embargo. Japan relied on the U.S. for 80-90% of its oil imports; the cutoff threatened its military and economy with collapse, pushing it toward desperate resource seizures in Southeast Asia. None of this excuses the immoral and catastrophic attack on Pearl Harbor. But it illustrates how interventionist policies can create escalating cycles that make war more likely.

Taft and fellow Old Right critics were right: such steps, alongside aid to Britain and New Deal expansions, risked a global conflict that would permanently alter the constitutional order.

Victory Abroad, Defeat at Home
The United States won the war in 1945, but the old republic did not survive intact. Victory birthed a permanent national security state and the military-industrial complex Dwight Eisenhower later warned against. Standing armies, global alliances, intelligence networks, foreign occupations, and a sprawling bureaucracy became entrenched.

The federal government ballooned into a managerial state. Welfare programs expanded alongside warfare spending. Sound money principles were abandoned, enabling perpetual deficits, fiat inflation, and debt-financed empire. Today, the national debt exceeds $39 trillion. Interest payments devour major budget shares amid inflation, housing shortages, and declining real wages for working families. Empire maintenance diverts trillions from productive enterprise.
