How The Ideas of Liberty Win

By Chris Rossini

Conflict is a permanent part of the human condition. Human beings have unlimited wants, but live in a world of scarce resources. Conflict is thus unavoidable and perpetual.

While on the surface this may seem like a bad thing, it doesn't necessarily have to be. Conflicts may be unavoidable, but how they are resolved mean everything.

The ideas of Liberty offer a wonderful answer to this dilemma: Conflicts should be resolved peacefully. Private property, contracts, sound money,...

It’s Saigon in Afghanistan

By Ron Paul

​The end of the 20-year US war on Afghanistan was predictable: no one has conquered Afghanistan, and Washington was as foolish as Moscow in the 1970s for trying. Now, US troops are rushing out of the country as fast as they can, having just evacuated the symbol of the US occupation of Afghanistan, Bagram Air Base.

While perhaps not as dramatic as the “Fall of Saigon” in 1975, where US military helicopters scrambled to evacuate personnel from the roof of the US Embassy, the lesso...

'We Just Marched Out' - US Abandons Afghan Base At Night

US troops abandoned Bagram Air Base - a symbol of the US occupation of Afghanistan - in the dead of night. Reportedly the Afghan commander did not know until morning that he was in charge. Good move? Neocons not happy. Also today - soldiers unhappy about mandatory jab and...were US sailors forced to participate in "Pride" hike?

When Warnings Become Realities: Ron Paul CPAC Speech 2009

This speech was given in Feb. 2009.

Private Property: The Bedrock of Civilization

The bedrock of every civilization is private property. Likewise, every totalitarian ideology has the goal of attacking private property. Some are even so bold as to claim that the goal is to abolish it! Of course, logic dictates that such an idea is a recipe for disaster, and there's a whole history of human suffering and death to provide lessons that disaster is the only possible outcome. Private property is inviolable, inalienable and absolute.

New Poll: Americans Reject 'Critical Race Theory'

According to a new poll, most Americans do not want schools to teach their children that America is an inherently racist country. Also today, election lawsuit in New York City, US teachers' union to demand forced vaccination, and the first major mask study is not good news for maskers.

"Reset" Liberty Instead

By Chris Rossini

Sacrificing Liberty always starts so innocently, and then it ends so badly. Nothing good comes from giving up Liberty, which is why individuals in a free society should resolve never to do it.

But it's tough for a lot of people. They get bamboozled rather easily. Politicians, along with the big money people who sponsor them, are expert at couching each power grab in altruistic garb.

And, of course, there's always some kind of "emergency," either real, or completely made-up, ...

'Delta Variant' Scaremongering: Fauci's Last Stand?

The media has joined the "public health experts" in hyping the danger of the "Delta variant" of the coronavirus. Fauci warns that it is the most dangerous yet. Yet data from the UK strongly suggest that, like all viruses, it becomes weaker with each mutation. So who's telling the truth and who is pushing a narrative? Also today: Capitol Hill Police hold open door for 69 year "insurrectionist" on Jan 6th, but she is arrested yesterday for entering the building. And...what does New York City's bot...

Biden Claims Bombing Syria And Iraq Is A 'Defensive' Move. What?

Over the weekend President Biden ordered US airstrikes on Syrian and Iraqi territory. The Administration claims that bombing countries 6,000 miles away who could not pose a threat to the US if they wanted was a "defensive" move. One problem: US troops are illegally occupying Syria and the bombing was unequivocally condemned by the Iraqi government. So..."defense"...or aggression? Also today, new polls and studies on Covid and US trust in the media. Don't miss today's Liberty Report.
