Liberty Links 8/18/18 – Has Bezos Become More Powerful in D.C. Than Trump?

Before we get to links, I wanted to let everyone know that Tucker Carlson read an excerpt from my latest post at the very beginning of his very popular Fox News show last evening.

Here’s the post he referenced in case you missed it the first time: Censorship Is What Happens When Powerful People Get Scared.

Thanks to Tucker and everyone who reads and shares my work, it seems to be reaching a wider audience.
