The government wants to ban your encryption software and try to close Pandora's box. I wish them good luck. What's in the News with stories on bad boys, sex work, gun bans, New Hampshire, banning tobacco, and ignoring bans. And, and Ask Me Anything segment where I answer your questions on PorcFest, where would I live if not NH, top 5 libertarian presidential candidates, libertarian podcast market, what do I eat at Thanksgiving, and how to get away from the 9 to 5. WHAT’S RUSTLING MY JIMMIES For years, I've been begging you guys to start using encrypted communications for various reason, if for no other reason than to create noise that the feds can't figure out. I use encrypted comms all day every day, even to send my wife innocuous messages. I suggest the same for you. But, now, all of that chatter that the feds can't break into has them all in a tizzy.

WHAT'S IN THE NEWS In bad boys news, Chicago cops used explosives to raid an innocent family's home and help their kids at gunpoint and handcuffed an 8-year-old boy. In vice news, marijuana has gone mainstream, casino gambling is everywhere and sports wagering is spreading. Could prostitution be next? In Trump gun ban news, after going for bump stocks, now Trump is going after silencers. President Donald Trump said he’ll "seriously look" at banning gun silencers after last week’s mass shooting in Virginia.
