“The Libertarian National Committee voted Wednesday to censure Region 1 Alternate Austin Martin over recent online remarks that some members deemed threatening, inflammatory, and inconsistent with Libertarian Party principles surrounding the initiation of force. At an October 1 special meeting, the LNC voted 8–2 in favor of censure, with two abstentions and five members not participating. … The comments in question included calls to remove ‘socialist infiltrators’ from the Libertarian Party ‘by force and with extreme prejudice,’ along with claims that Martin ‘initially cosigned or affirmed’ a thread suggesting that killing communists could be morally justified.” (10/02/25)

“Randi Weingarten has taken to wearing a paper clip on her lapel as a ­bizarre symbol of her ­crusade against ‘fascism,’ aka Donald Trump. The president of the American Federation of Teachers is on tour to peddle her new book, ‘Why Fascists Fear Teachers’ (yet another example of prioritizing poisonous politics over education from this Marxist fossil). Not to mention fattening her own wallet. The paper clip, she likes to explain to anyone who will listen (mostly on MSNBC) symbolizes a Norwegian protest against Adolf Hitler in World War II. ‘Teachers in Norway when there was Nazi occupation, they started wearing paper clips … to bind people together as community,’ Weingarten told MSNBC. Pretty subtle analogy there — less than three weeks after Charlie Kirk was assassinated by a young leftist of the sort radicalized in Weingarten’s classrooms who engraved anti-fascist messages on his bullets.” (10/01/25)

“You do not need me to tell you that we are living in a political, social, and cultural crisis. I have been saying that for years. Now, I add to that list that we are living in a theological crisis. The MAGA movement seeks to promulgate a triumphalist theology that attempts to determine the truth of America’s past and says that repentance is impossible because doing so would be ‘corrosive’ or ‘disparaging.’ This theology is built on the fundamentalist, extreme myth that it has the absolute truth of who we are as a Christian nation, and thus the only acceptable response is obedience. Yom Kippur is the antidote to this theology.” (10/02/25)
