Mark Stewart is running for president of the United States, but he knows he wont win.

That said, hes officially on the ballot the Vermont Secretary of States office released its official list of presidential primary candidates this week, and Stewarts name is there, along with names like Biden, Bloomberg, Warren, Sanders and Trump.

Im on the ballot to try to make a stink in four states, Stewart said.

Vermont approved his ballot application he submitted a petition with 1,200 names on the list and hell be running in the Democratic primary for sure in New Hampshire and California. Rhode Island is still a hurdle, but hes confident hell make it on that states ballot, too.

Im not doing Connecticut, he said. The ballot access to too hard.

Stewart knows that winning the presidency is unrealistic, but his goal is not actually a victory.

What he wants is for an outsider, for a free-market Libertarian, to voice issues within the primary process, to roll back socialism and try to extinguish the leftist lurch that leaders in the democrat party have.

I dont believe your average Democrat voter really buys into all the big government promises that these televised candidates want, he said.

Stewart is also vying to be the Libertarian Partys choice for vice president, and hopes that running for president will help him be seen as a fighter.

If I have a little cred as a warrior it might help, he said.

But Stewart said his primary goal is to inspire other potential candidates.

I know there will be other candidates for state house seats and maybe even congressional seats that have until now felt stymied, he said. We need more people running for offices. if more candidates are in the mix we get better public servants.

Stewart whose full name is Mark Stewart Greenstein is originally from West Hartford, where he still calls home. He founded and runs an SAT-prep firm, and said he intends to spend no more than $99,900 on his own campaign.

This is not the first time hes run a long-shot campaign for national office. Four years ago, he was on the ballot in Rhode Island, for the sole purpose of beating Hillary Clinton. He received 240 votes, which put him in third place.

The main mission four years ago was not to run for president, but to stop Hillary, he said.

He ran for Senate in New York also for the stated purpose of beating Clinton in 2006. This year, he tried for the 5th Connecticut State Senate District, and garnered 0.5 percent of the electorate, a total of 51 votes.

In 2018 he ran an unsuccessful bid for Connecticut governor, against Ned Lamont. He qualified for the November ballot, but said it did not go well. He received only 0.1 percent of the vote.

In that race, he ran under the Amigo Constitution Party, but Stewart is currently trying to form a new political party he calls EPIC, an acronym for Every Politically Independent Citizen.

The new party will run a convention in August. Stewarts last primary in this election cycle will be when Rhode Islanders go to the polls on April 28, 2020, called the Acela primary. That will give his EPIC party enough time to register any candidates for office who have become disillusioned with the major parties, he said.

As for why hes running as a Democrat, in the Democratic primary, Stewart said its because they need the most help.

They are so wayward in their leadership, he said. They give rise to leftism, which I will define as people who want to take America down.

But the EPIC party will not be choosy when it comes to political affiliation.

This is a beautiful way to offer conservatism as a candidate and not be painted as pro-Trump, he said.

Useful Tips for Writing an Application in College - The Libertarian Republic

December 7th commemorates a day America sets its jaw, rolled up its sleeves, and vowed to counterattack a vicious totalitarian enemy.

In short order this enemy much of its homeland in virtual ashes - found itself degradingly signing an unconditional surrender. This enemy was shocked at the courage and resourcefulness in battle of the sleeping giant they wokeand equally shocked by its magnanimity in victory.

On the other hand, Dec. 17th commemorates a day a whimpering American president surrendered unconditionally to blackmail from the totalitarian enemy 90 miles off our coast.

The Fake News Media, Democrats and libertarians hail Obamas surrender to Raul Castro as an opening! as a diplomatic milestone! In fact it was a humiliating U.S. surrender to terrorist regime that had kidnapped a U.S. hostage named Alan Gross and offered to exchange him upon the freeing and return to Cuba of multi-convicted Castroite spy/terrorist/murderer (of American citizens) Gerardo Hernandez.

We WON THE WAR! exhulted Stalinist dictator Raul Castro on Dec. 20th, 2014.

This blackmail by the mass-murdering Russian satraps on our doorstep gave Obama just the excuse he needed to finally and officially--buddy-up with them, a Democrat goal/craving for decades.

In brief: Obamas Cuba legacy (for the folks who actually bother to study this issue) is simply one of shame, disgrace and humiliation for the USA.And oh! Almost forgotincreased poverty and repression for the Cuban people, for whom Obama (and his lap-dog media) claimed he was acting as benefactor.

In brief, everything your humble servant predicted on Fox News five years ago came to pass.

Not that the prediction required special clairvoyance or education. Practically all of those media-loathed deplorable right-wing Cuban exiles! (i.e. people with actual experience under Castroism) were predicting the identical thing.

Accurate predictions regarding Cuba policy is not rocket science, amigos. Its simply a matter of rejecting practically everything the Fake News Media has reported about the Castros and Che Guevara since 1957.

You see, amigos: Back onDecember 3rd, 2009, Alan Gross, a U.S. citizen distributing cell phones and computer equipment to Cubas Jewish community on contract for the U.S. Agency for International Development, prepared to board a plane homeward at Havanas International Airport. Hovering nearby, but unnoticed by Mr. Gross, were plainclothes officers of Castros KGB-trained secret-police.

As the boarding order loomed, these officers rushed up and grabbed Mr. Gross, who then languished in Castros dungeons until he was ransomed by Obama on Dec. 17th 2014, under the guise of a diplomatic opening.

This ransoming involved treachery on the part of the State Department that rivaled their treachery in the Benghazi scandal/tragedy. Your humble servant detailed this treachery right here at Townhall.

The U.S. ransom was almost unprecedentedly shameful in the annals of U.S. diplomacy. I say almost because it closely mimicked the whimpering Obamas ransom to the snickering Taliban for Bowe Bergdahl. Youll recall the Taliban got five of their terrorists back from Gitmo as the ransom.

But Castro came out of his blackmailing of Obama smelling even rosier than the Taliban. In fact, well before the Stalinist dictator got his spy/murderer back, Castro was already reaping enormous benefits from the Obama Team.

You see, amigos:Promptly upon entering office in 2009Obama began frantically issuing executive orders to circumvent the (so-called) embargo of Cuba and open a financial lifeline from the U.S. (often on the taxpayers dime) to the Castro Family-Crime-Syndicate (grotesquely mislabeled as Cuba by the Fake News Media.)

Here I come to save the day! was a good motto for Obama and his team of whimpering Cuba policy Pajama Boys (Ben Rhodes, particularly) - because that U.S. economic lifeline came just as Venezuelas was drying up.

Despite Deep State (especially Deep State Department) foot-dragging and outright sabotage, the Trump Team recognized and rectified the Democrat racket to extend the terror-sponsoring Castro regime a financial lifeline. The squeals of pain and outrage from Castros (unregistered) U.S. agents provide the best proof.

Whats good for General Motors is good for the U.S. went the old (misquote) of GM CEO Charles Wilson. Well, whatevers BAD in the eyes of the New York Times is GREAT for the U.S. And the New York Times detests Trumps Cuba policy.

Interestingly, similar to Patty Hearst with her kidnappers, Castros kidnap victim Alan Gross seemed to develop (a type of) crush on his kidnappersthough on a different level than Hearsts.

Once free upon Obamas surrender to his kidnappers, Alan Gross quickly joined the ranks of Castros (unregistered) U.S. agents in calling for an end to the (so-called) Cuban embargo.

Oh, I knowI know the liberal/libertarian mantra has it that the embargo is the Castro regimes best friend because it gives them an excuseblahblahblah. Despite this Ana Belen Montes, Carlos and Elsa Alvarez and Kendall and Gwendolyn Myers (all convicted Castroite spies in federal prison today) worked tirelessly to influence U.S. policy AGAINST the embargo while working as secret agents. Interesting no?If that doesnt close the case against the KGB/Castro-crafted and liberal/libertarian-parroted anti-embargo meme I dont know what does.

Alan Gross started chanting the Castro/KGB-crafted and liberal/libertarian-parroted critique of the (so-called) embargo perfectly on cue, almost upon his release.

Afterwards he took to bashing Trumps Cuba policy and even comparing Trump to Fidel Castro! Well, kidnap and Stockholm-syndrome victim Alan Gross was always an Obama backer. But heres a question:

Would a snickering Castro have tried his little kidnapping of a U.S. hostage stunt with Trump in the White House? Not a chance.

December Dates that Live in Infamy - Townhall

A government-appointed review board has harshly criticized the organizers of the 2019 Aichi Triennale, which made headlines around the world for temporarily closing an exhibition that was itself themed around the issue of censorship. The closure came after an outcry regarding a sculpture in the show by Kim Seo-kyung and Kim Eun-sung that spotlighted the history of comfort women in Japan during WWII.

A six-person review panel, led by Toshio Yamanashi, director of the National Museum of Art, in Osaka, found that while the removal of the sculpture was the right way to deal with threats over the artwork, there were numerous faults with the way the exhibition was organized, reports the Japan Times. The exhibition was ultimately reopened after a legal challenge and a pledge by some artists to remove or alter their works in protest. The Triennale took place August 1 to October 14 in Nagoya and nearby cities.

The authors of the report have called for a thorough examination and revision of procedures for organizing the Triennale. Aichis governor, Hideaki Omura, who headed the Triennales steering committee, said, as quoted in the Japan Times, that we will sincerely accept the proposals, and work toward the next triennale by gaining local residents understanding. The panel also found fault in the curation of the censorship-themed exhibition, pointing out that while the concept initially was to show works that had been censored in public museums, it also included new works that had never fallen victim to suppression.

Artistic director and journalist Daisuke Tsuda, says the report, was given considerable power, but, the authors maintain, there was no system of checks and balances in place. The report also saw insufficient communication between Tsuda and the curators and other administrators.

The report did not, on the other hand, find fault with the handling of the highly controversial artwork.

Kim Seo-kyung and Kim Eun-sungs Statue of Peace (2011), a life-size sculpture of a seated woman, depicts the so-called comfort women, who were in fact forced into sexual slavery to the occupying Japanese military before and during World War II. The curators said in a statement at the time that the works removal would constitute the worst censorship incident in Japans postwar period.

The sculpture was included in the show After Freedom of Expression? which was part of the Triennale and took place at the Aichi Prefecture Museum of Art in the city of Nagoya. The exhibition was closed in the wake of menacing messages, including one that promised to burn the museum down. The review panel deemed the closure of the show unavoidable. In the panels view, this did not comprise an unwarranted restriction on freedom of expression.

Artnet reached out to Toshio Yamanashi and Daisuke Tsuda but did not receive an immediate reply.

The issue of sexual slavery has been a flash point for years. The government has in the past issued apologies, but in 2007, prime minister Shinzo Abe denied that there was any evidence that the Japanese had enslaved women, only to later say he would not reconsider previous apologies by previous officials. Nagoya Mayor Takashi Kawamura has objected to the presence of the artwork in the Triennale, since it constitutes an ackowledgement that Japan had indeed forced the women into sexual slavery.

In a revealing letter to The Ethicist column in the New York Times Magazine, a Bay Area renter asked for moral guidance on handling his landlord. He described the man as a nice guy providing a below-market rental, but the correspondent felt uncomfortable when he saw a Christian magazine in his landlords mail, with cover stories that suggest LGBTQ rights are undermining religious freedom and others about the dangers of educating children about gender diversity.

While acknowledging that destroying his landlords mail would violate the law, the perplexed tenant asked: Is it more ethical to give him this magazine, and perpetuate hate and inequality, or to occasionally just lose this piece of mail once a month?

This inquiry shows the lefts powerful urge to censor what neighbors read, or think. It also displays the breathtaking arrogance and intolerance that lead more and more Americans to fear and resent the strident left with its toxic role in the culture.
