For the sake of America, Ukraine, Russia, and the world — we need immediate diplomacy, not reckless commitments to prolong the war in Ukraine forever. That's why, in the Maine Senate today, I called out the propaganda of the corporate media and the Washington war machine.

I think my dialogue presentation at the 2026 NH Liberty Forum is going to have to be on “The Road to Greater New Hampshire.”.

@nlevnaut How about this?. If Dems keep control of Maine in 2026 elections, I’ll find a legislator in Maine and a legislator in New Hampshire to simultaneously sponsor parallel resolutions that would begin a process for Greater New Hampshire.

The best Maine Dems will ever come up with is a tax shift. They are theoretically capable of lowering taxes in one area while raising them elsewhere — hoping you are dumb enough to think that helps. They are not capable of ever cutting spending, which is what is actually needed.

In the United States, to totally reject libertarianism is to reject Thomas Jefferson, the Declaration of Independence, and betray the ideals of the American Revolution.

In the UK, France, or Germany, it would not make sense to call a libertarian a “conservative.”. In the United States, however, libertarians regularly embrace the conservative label.

The most important political difference between the United States and the European states is the libertarian ideal (classical liberalism) at the core of our founding documents and mythologies. That is why American conservatives generally embrace some degree of libertarian ideas,.

Imagine that. Public schools have to “sell themselves” (aka: care about the wants and needs of families) because they now have to compete in a marketplace for students.

At Ron Paul’s birthday BBQ this weekend, I will be moderating a discussion with 2 men I’ve admired and respected for many years — @justinamash and @DonHuffines — on “Carrying the Torch for Liberty” in legislative bodies.

This is also a reason why we should never entrust any central authority with the power to print money. Printing money is the equivalent of printing ballots in a market democracy.

You have far more power to change society as a customer (voting with your dollars) in the market, than you have as a citizen (voting with your ballot) in a political “democracy.”. Market Democracy > Political Democracy.
