$1 Trillion Military Budget Coming? Watch The Demise of the Fake Economic System

President Trump casually mentioned that the U.S. will have its first TRILLION dollar military budget. This does not, in any sense, sound like a government looking to cut waste, fraud and abuse. We have been bankrupted (economically, and more importantly, morally) by a century of endless wars. The federal debt continues to rise, even with total Republican control. This is all bad news for our nation. Watch Here

Liberation or Obliteration?

By Ron Paul

​President Trump was elected in part because he promised to reduce prices and not drag the country into foreign wars. Sadly, President Trump has adopted a tariff policy that will raise prices and abandoned his “America First” foreign policy in favor of a return to Bush-era neoconservatism.

Despite criticizing President Biden for bombing Yemen, President Trump has authorized bombing that country under the false pretense that Yemen’s Houthis are threatening international shipping. Presid...

Markets ROCKED While Trump Expands Futile Yemen War!

Government spending is increasing, government debt is increasing, President Trump threatens new wars, and now we're in the midst of a trade war. The troops are not coming home, the 1,000 bases are not being closed, and the "foreign aid," is not being eliminated. In order to get rid of overwhelming government, all of the...

Trump Goes To War On The Institute Of Peace (But It's A Good Thing!)

President Trump has gutted the US government funded US Institute of Peace after a scuffle between staff members and Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency, making it more likely that the misnamed government funded "NGO" will follow USAID into the dustbin of history. Also today, a US judge has blocked Trump from firing CIA's DEI staff. Watch Here

Three Months In, Trump Already a 'Wartime' President

That didn't take long. A candidate elected to end current wars and avoid new ones, Donald Trump as president has significantly escalated the war on Yemen and is now threatening to attack Iran. He is also threatening Russia (again) with punitive tariffs. What is it about the White House that turns every resident into a warmonger? Watch Here

Free Speech is Worth Fighting For

By Ron Paul

​We do not have free speech to talk about the weather. Our Founders, particularly James Madison who drafted the Bill of Rights, understood that our rights are not privileges granted to us by government. No, it was understood at the founding that these basic natural rights outlined by Madison were granted by our Creator and thus no mere mortal could take them away. And first among these is the First Amendment which recognizes that most basic of our natural rights: the right to express ...
