What’s in the Mail Bag?

• Three DUI checkpoints in Montgomery Township? Not the most efficient, not the cheapest, and definitely not constitutional
• Hauling away in irons people who are not drunk – and the cops know it!
• Why privatize liquor stores? Certainly they should close early, be closed on holidays, refuse to carry random brands, and make it a crime to shop in other states. NOT!
• The relic known as the Johnstown Flood Tax on alcohol purchases: 80+ years after the flood and the rebuilding are a dim memory, yet it lingers on and on.

A Conversation with Jennifer Moore

• The basics of Pennsylvania’s third-largest political party
• How to withstand a court challenge to getting on the ballot
• How to win dozens of elections for the Libertarian Party
• The annoying powers of an elected Pennsylvania auditor

What Sticks in Ken’s Craw? Pennsylvania’s self-manufactured troubles

• A long laundry list of lousy legislation, including out-of-control spending, racist courts vilified law-abiding gun owners, the opioid crisis, over-militarized police, second-class citizenships, rigged elections, the trashed Pennsylvania constitution, and more, sad to say.
• What’s the solution? Stop voting for the perpetrators: The two old parties.
