I certainly hope Youngkin runs for Senate once his term as governor is up. Not in 2024 though, his term as governor goes through 2025.

China's nukes are scarier than our conventional forces. We have and are continuing to invest in our own semiconductor production, which is good. But Taiwan is well ahead of us in semiconductor sophistication and production capacity, and advancing state of the art semiconductor production is...

"We should go ahead and let China take Taiwan, who needs semiconductors anyways?" is peak lolbertarian take. The fact that China has good reason to think we'll use nukes if they invade Taiwan is arguably the one reason they haven't invaded Taiwan yet. The moment our rivals, our enemies, start...

So you just broadly say every time they justified war...but then immediately "spot me" with Afghanistan and admit that declaration was justified. That opens the possibility for other declarations to be justified, too. So you can't just broadly say all the wars they supported were evil by...

Yeah, and your reaction was and continues to be to completely validate them for that tweet. So it's kind of nonsense to then halfheartedly try wiggling out by saying they're "more extreme libertarians". Let's be specific about this. What policies are you referring to, exactly? And you say war...

And you're losing me a little. I'm not universally against "political violence", and that shouldn't be a controversial statement. The US was founded on the very idea that there is an appropriate time to take up arms against tyranny. I think anyone who seriously cares about their beliefs and...

Ok, I think I see what you're saying. And yes, I basically agree, modern libertarianism fundamentally does not agree with conservativism, and that's why it has no real place in the conservative movement. But libertarians do attempt to influence and infiltrate conservativism, as Abhorsen...

It's clear that the left wing media gives tacit approval to certain kinds of political violence. How long did they cover the congressional baseball shooting that almost killed Steve Scalise? Two, maybe three days? Versus how long they're dragging out the assault of Paul Pelosi.

Maybe. I have a brother who's big into libertarianism, actually got me to vote for Gary Johnson in 2016 (blech, it was more an anti-Trump and anti-Hillary vote than anything else). He's all about economics and really doesn't seem to give a crap about the social issues that I find to be...

Yeahhhhh... the same NH Libertarians that post crap like this and double down when called out on it? No thanks. I have some sympathies with libertarianism, but more conservative than anything else. I'm not thrilled by Masters. The GOP candidates I like are guys like DeSantis, Youngkin. I...

Anything could happen Tuesday night. It should be easy for the GOP to take control of the Senate in the current political climate, but a few bad nominees make it harder than it had to be. Things are looking better than they did just a couple months ago, but still tight. I'm most interested in...

Maybe she does. I'm sure the older Democrats can all see it, but they have to go along with it and act like it's business as usual. But I don't think that's why she's retiring. She's just ancient, it notes there that her first political campaign was in 1969.

Just goes to show why voting records are important. And the ability for a party to censure any representative who tilts too far to the other side.

Oz is probably marginally better than the Democratic alternative, but still... Meh. He'll be another Romney or Collins.

The GOP situation in Pennsylvania is dilemma for sure. The GOP incumbent Pat Toomey is retiring to keep a campaign promise (made back in the 90s, apparently) to limit his terms in office. So it's an opening for the Dems to flip the seat. The leading GOP candidate up to the primary has been Dr...
