   Chris Ehmling — “Do you want a NH style affiliate? Because I sure as fuck don’t.”

   What exactly is the New Hampshire affiliate doing wrong?

   Chris Ehmling — “Mike Blessing over my dead body should they give the keys to the castle to those nincompoops at FLPNM.”

   If the FLPNM are such “nincompoops” as you say, why did you join their Facebook group last night?

   Hopefully, New York State Rifle & Pistol Association, Inc. v. Bruen will render the phrases “NY compliant” and “CA compliant” irrelevant.

   To my knowledge, the FLPNM has already attained affiliate status with the LNC. As for recovering the assets, the FLPNM is waiting to see what happens.

   I’ve said this before and will no doubt say it again, there shouldn’t be any “safe space” in the Libertarian Party for Aryan Airheadism, whether it’s the anti-Semitic kind or other kinds of bigotry. Same goes for the BDS-type leftish stuff along the lines of Israel bashing.

   “FLPNM seems to be infested with Karen’s Paleocons who have little clue with libertarianism actually means”

   That’s OK. I cast a blank for Bernalillo County Sheriff, so I know my vote wasn’t wasted in that race.

   Apparently I’m a “Republican simp” who can tell the difference between “your” and “you’re.”

   So AFP lets you take a break from licking their taints? Or is that Antifa?

   Maybe they will lick yours for a change?

   In other words, you disaffiliated from the current LNC because of “MAGA!!!!!” or whatever, but you still want to be able to send delegates to that LNC’s 2024 National Convention (see the screenshot above).

   Now that your attempt at con artistry has been publicized, how is it working out for you?

   Issue 1,182 of L. Neil Smith’s THE LIBERTARIAN ENTERPRISE is now up

   L. Neil Smith’s THE LIBERTARIAN ENTERPRISE

   — An International Journal of Opinion —

   Issue 1,182, November 13, 2022

   https://ncc-1776.org/

   THIS ISSUE’S MOTTO: zan, zindiqi, azadi (women, life, freedom) — Motto of Iranian protesters.

   THE WEEKLY CARTOON: I get most of my exercise from shaking my head in disbelief.

   A Request for Help

   Jim Davidson, a long-time contributor to TLE, is currently awaiting trial on extended traffic related charges. See his early October article on the status of his case, [Due Process of Law] (https://ncc-1776.org/tle2022/tle1176-20221002-05.html). Since then he has retained an attorney. The attorney usually charges $2,000 to start; there may be more, possibly $10,000.

   The next event in Jim’s case is a preliminary hearing on November 17.

   Jim maintains his innocence with respect to the charges, and while the Libertarian Enterprise will not comment on the particulars of the situation, we do believe that everyone is owed a fair trial and the ability to retain a lawyer. To that end, we have set up a GiveSendGo page. Jim, and we, would be extremely grateful for any help our readers would be able to kindly provide.

   Jim offers a free copy of his new book in consideration of donations of $25 or more.

   https://givesendgo.com/G3DA3

   Donations will show up as “Rule of Law,” and will be directed to an account in Cathy’s name which will then be provided to counsel.

   Thank you

   Yours in Liberty,

   Rylla and Cathy Smith
   Co-Publishers, L. Neil Smith’s The Libertarian Enterprise

   I usually wait til Wednesday morning to check the election results. That way, I can get it all at once instead of watching the Secretary of State’s page refresh itself automatically (reloading the page) every five minutes.

NOTES FROM LIFE, ETC.

1. I went out to the parking lot to the car to go to the day job and found that someone had put a parking boot on my left front tire because I didn’t have a current license plate. [Fat lot of good having one did me on Monday, 17 January 2022, when my Kia Forte was stolen, then used as a mobile drug den for 1-2 days.]

   So I called the number on the ticket (505-255-6063, Precision Security) — the operator told me that someone would be on the scene in “about an hour.” I placed the call at 1110.

   The tow truck and driver (ABQ 24 Hr Towing, 3701 Commercial NE) arrived on site at about 1140 (at least two other tenants’ personal vehicles had also been booted). He moseyed over to where I was at about 1158, then told me that he couldn’t take debit or credit cards, only cash.

   Not having sufficient cash on hand, I walked five blocks to the DK Alon gas station [5401 Kathryn SE], extracted ∅200 from the ATM, walked back, paid the prick ∅75, and was on my way by 1218 (was supposed to be at the day job by 1200!). I arrived there at around 1245.

2. About 15 minutes into my shift at the day job, who did I bump into but Governess Chipmunk AKA Michelle Lujan Grisham, fresh off her victory last night over reason, common sense, economic literacy, among other things. She said “Hi,” I was startled and replied “Hi” and could not break contact with her fast enough. She was coming up the escalator and was reaching the top as I was walking across the top of the same escalator. After breaking contact, I took the down-going escalator and hid in the mens department for a while.
