How Does That Sh!t Sandwich Taste, Rand Paul?
Trump thinks it's "weird" that there are Libertarians. We do not like Rand Paul at Beacon of Speech, not at all. Why? Because his Father was a Pillar of Modern American Libertarianism, while Rand himself is part of the Republican Political Machine. That's harsh? Let's step into the way-back machine. Back in 2016, 17 candidates ran for the Republican Nomination. You really only had 4 Choices: Donald Trump: Businessman, Populist, and Outsider Rand Paul: "Libertarian" Ben Carson

Give the People What They Want: Bring Out the Water Cannons
Another No Kings Rally this weekend? <yawn> For the millionth time, we are Libertarians here at Beacon of Speech. Donald Trump tried to trick us into voting for him in 2024, we didn't fall for it. Probably a Bit Overpriced at Amazon But I am so sick of "King Trump" or "Nazi Trump" rallies. Do you know we are deporting the same amount of citizens as the Biden Administration? Do you know that the incarceration rates for American citizens are actually falling in this country

Dr. Demento's Final Top 100 List

Then we expanded the concept out to the Top 100 Novelty Songs of All Time . But we are not Novelty Record experts, we are free speech stalwarts. The greatest champion of Novelty Music, Dr. Demento, retired this past weekend after 55 years on the air. On his last show, he created his

The Israeli-Gazan Conflict: Predicted Correctly by Zero Hedge
When the cease-fire was announced earlier this week between Israel and Hamas, I would say that the reaction in the American Media was fairly subdued. I saw a lot of outlets taking a run at Donald Trump because he thought he should have won the Nobel Peace Prize for ending the conflict, but the news cycle moved away from Israel pretty quickly. I thought the media, who had been chirping for 2 years about a cease-fire, would be ecstatic. Then I was at a Libertarian message board

Choking on Indigestible Reams of Information
Those on the Left are screaming "RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES! IT'S TIME TO NAIL THAT BASTARD DONALD TRUMP!!!" Those on the Right are screaming "RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES! IT'S TIME TO NAIL THE PARTY OF PEDOPHILES!!! As a libertarian, I support the release of all of the government files on Jeffrey Epstein, damage to EITHER party be damned. But then I ran across this gem: ABC News reported : Most of Epstein Files given to Congress are Already Public Record. What games are we play
