The Senate passed a budget resolution that allows for tax cuts, opening the door for a filibusterer proof tax reform bill in the future. Rand Paul was the only dissenting Republican vote.
A preschool teacher shows off her student’s very cute Lego projects depicting intersectionality, wait, no she’s a college professor, a college professor had her college students build Lego displays and not even with regular Legos, the giant block Legos used by toddlers. I heard she has plans next week to have them finger paint cultural appropriation.
I have to say, I am quite enjoying this leftist witch hunt. The leftist elite is being forced to live by its own supposed morals, and it’s not going so well.
With hurricane Harvey descending upon the Gulf Coast, Sloopy took off a day earlier than planned to take his daughter to college, leaving me to be the substitute teacher morning links provider.
Hurricane Harvey set to wreak devastation on the Gulf Coast with Biblical flooding in Houston. Sloopy and I will be stuck in a house with toddlers possibly through the middle of next week. Pray for us.
The ACLU apologized yesterday for implying that white people will exist in the future. Congrats, you just gave more members to the growing group of white supremacists in our country claiming there’s a white genocide taking place.
Y’all aren’t going to receive a sports update from me as I don’t follow every sport known in existence like sloopy does, so provide your own.
The only person capable of getting the mainstream media to talk about something other than Trump.
In a sad attempt at winning back the working class, the Democrat Party released their new slogan which many find reminiscent of Papa John’s slogan. At least they didn’t go with their original slogan. Well, not openly at least.
Chester Bennington, lead singer of Linkin Park, committed suicide by hanging himself on the same day as Chris Cornell’s birthday, who also hung himself last May. The two are reported to have been good friends. The selfish, drug addicted piece of shit, left behind six children and a wife.
In “this surprises no one” news, a new Pew Research Poll shows that 47% of liberals say that someone being a Trump supporter would put a strain on their friendship versus 13% of conservatives who claim the same about having a friend who is a Hillary supporter.
The body camera footage which caught Baltimore cops planting evidence prompts a review of 100 cases which involved the officers who were caught.
Prefer my version of the links? Please let sloop know in the comments. Oh, and a link to a song.
Behind every great man is an even greater woman and inside every modern day Progressive woman is a confused maladjusted teenager running out of ways to rebel against the patriarchy as most have already dyed their hair bright unnatural colors and have facial piercings.

The election of the chauvanistic Donald Trump over the the ultimate feminist candidate Hillary Clinton induced a madness in these modern womyn. So they came together, mustering their collective intellect to devise plans to take down the ultimate patriarchal symbol… by making vagina hats and marching, dressing up in vagina costumes and marching, and now for the ultimate tantrum, they go on strike! Take that childcare and service industries!
The major problem with today’s women’s strike is that they aren’t inconveniencing men, they are inconveniencing their fellow women. As mothers are the main providers of childcare, not men, and with schools and other childcare facilities closed, it is women who are forced to stay home and care for the kiddos, not the men. Their plan, as with all their other poorly thought out plans, denies reality.
While women dominate the childcare industry and make a slight majority in the service and hospitality/leisure industry, men are busy keeping civilization afloat. Which leads me to the thought experiment, imagine A Day Without A Man. Imagine a day in which all men went on strike. Imagine a day without agriculture, mining, transportation, utilities, and construction. Civilization would come to a halt.
How your car is made.How your food gets harvested.
So keep that in mind, you brave, strong ladies. As you drive to your protest (72% of American auto manufacturing is done by men), gas up on your way (80% of oil extraction is done by men, and 80% of petroleum refining is as well), take a plane to get there (78% of aircraft and parts manufacturing is done by men, while 63% of all air transportation jobs are performed by men), take the train (>99% of rail manufacturing is performed by men and 90% of all rail transportation workers are men) or walk (91% of all concrete and asphalt manufacture is done by men), there were probably men involved in getting you there. I won’t even go too far into the rest of your little holiday, though I am sure you’ll eat (76% of crop production is by men, as is 73% of animal production and >99% of commercial fishing), you’ll go to the bathroom in one of those port-a-johns (70% of plastics production is done by men, and 85% of sewage treatment workers are men) and you’ll call someone on your iPhone to virtue signal (70% of electronics manufacturing is done by men).*
Sometimes stereotypes are true.
And if you decide not to march but would rather take the day off and treat yourself to that cool new hairstyle in neon pink or get a mani-pedi, go for it! Just pray to God that the 92% of hairstylists that are women or the 75% of nail salon employees that are also female didn’t have the same idea as you today.*
As you might have noticed, we here in Glibertaria have a zero tolerance policy when it comes to trolling. You trolls out there might say to yourself “Reason never banhammered me?” We are not Reason.
We will not hesitate to replace your trolling comments with pictures of cat buttholes for everyone to laugh at. Or to ban your ass without notice.
As you might have noticed, many of our articles are published under “Guest Contributor”. You might be asking yourself, “are you assholes crazy enough to be accepting writing submissions from us?” Yes, yes we are. And you too can get in on the action. Please use the leads/submissions form, easy to locate at the top of the page, and one of three lovely ladies, or sloopy will respond.
More likely than three lady libertarians, amirite?
You might be asking yourself “Holy shit, did that crazy bitch just say three lovely ladies?” Yes, all three libertarian women in existence have volunteered their time to review what you send us, process it, shine it up real pretty-like, and publish for Glibertaria to mock and/or have virtual fist fights over. Please keep in mind that these three, lovely ladies are volunteering their time, out of the goodness of their cold, shriveled libertarian hearts, so please be patient and appreciative.
So please, give me your poems, your rants, and poorly worded essays yearning to breathe free…and possibly mocked.
While cleaning out my nursery closet, I was stopped in my tracks while passively listening to a phenomenal video by Sargon of Akkad. If you have a half hour to spare, I highly recommend a look or listen. The video, which is partially about the recent Wall Street Journal hit piece of PewDiePie, is more broadly about the war being waged on alternative media.
The alternative media has grown to such a colossal size partly due to the changing preferences of younger demographics, but mostly due to the narrowing of allowable views by traditional media, the combination of which has created a monster that they are now attempting to slay.
Although the difference between those who follow either tend to be generational (for example: Ken’s teen aged children tend to watch almost exclusively YouTube, Ken watches predominantly cable and Netflix, while I, being between the two in age, watch a combination of all), there has been a massive growth of older generations tuning out as well. This is due to the traditional media’s narrowing of allowable views. As more people feel disenfranchised, alternative media grows by welcoming people with open arms. Instead of successfully indoctrinating more people to their views, they inject growth hormones into an already massively large creature.
I was one of the few people in my circles that predicted a Trump win. Following the alternative media, it was obvious to me. The massive amount of support for the man hidden in plain sight was surprising , yet almost refreshing to see. To those who don’t follow traditional media at all, like Ken’s 17 year old son, it was obvious he was going to win. Yet, to those residing in the traditional media bubble, the idea of him winning was ludacris.. So the mental breakdown of those who have been residing in the traditional media bubble is understandable. They were not living in reality and it came around hit them like a sledgehammer.
With the recent attacks on PewDiePie and Milo, social media tightening control of their user base, and the hilarious backfiring of the creation of the phrase “Fake News” it is becoming quite apparent that traditional media is now waging war against the monster that they unknowingly helped create.
My eldest child was born in the Central Valley of California, my middle was born less than a year later in the Inland Empire region of California, and my youngest born a year and a half later in Fort Worth, Texas. In addition to these places, our family has also lived in Northern Virginia and currently reside in Houston. We have lived on a hobby farm, in an urban apartment, and in a house in the suburbs. Despite being under the age of 5, my children have visited many museums, zoos, eaten at many restaurants, have attended concerts and basketball, hockey, baseball, and football games (including the 2015 Sugar Bowl where they witnessed The Ohio State University Buckeyes beat the hell out of Alabama). Our girls swim, play golf, draw and paint, play instruments, cook, know more lyrics to songs than I do and play video games. Our children do not have regular routines that they follow. What we lack in regimentation we more than make up for in life experiences. We believe children should be seen, heard, and exposed to the world.
All of that being said, we are not “libertarian parents” as there is no such thing. If I were to describe our parenting it would be highly active and unregimented, but not libertarian. Helicopter parents, Tiger Moms, and free ranged parents can all be libertarians. Libertarianism does not ascribe an ideal parenting style. Libertarians simply believe the ideal way to raise a child is up to the individual parents and not the state. Our parenting is what works best for us and is a reflection of who we are just as other people’s parenting is a reflection of them. And as I would never chastise a Tiger Mom or a helicopter parent for having too much involvement in their children’s lives or a free ranged parent for having too little, I would expect the same from others in a free society. As our parenting style is not ideal for other families, just as others are not ideal for us.
