HMS Defender Versus The Russian Military: The Danger of Believing Your Own Propaganda

By Ron Paul

​Less than two weeks after NATO members reaffirmed allegiance to Article 5 – that an attack on one member was an attack on all members – the UK nearly put that pledge to the test. In a shockingly provocative move, the UK’s HMS Defender purposely sailed into Crimean territorial waters on its way to Georgia.

Press reports suggest that there was a dispute between the UK defense and foreign ministries over whether to violate Russia’s claimed territorial waters with a heavily armed warship....

Forcing Americans Not to Work, Paying Them Not To Work ... Jobs Plan?

First government recklessly "locks down" businesses, forcing thousands to close, and ruining countless economic lives. Then government passes out money that it does not have. In essence, government pays people not to work. With record job openings, employers are struggling to find people willing to work! And now government wants to spend another $1 Trillion (that it does not have) in order to create jobs! This is the upside-down world created by hyper-interventionist government and The Federal R...

U.S. Debt Ceiling -- A Glass Ceiling That's Made To Be Broken

Here we go again! Talk of the so-called "debt ceiling" is back. Of course, shrinking the size and scope of government is not on the table. It never is. The federal government is $28 trillion in the red as it is. Why stop now? Well, logic, mathematics, economic laws, and all of recorded history indicate that the wrong road is being taken.

Biden 'Confesses' - There Was No Insurrection!

​While not long ago President Biden claimed the unarmed crowd that entered the US Capitol building was the worst attack on our democracy since the Civil War, yesterday he told gun owners they'd need F-15s and nuclear weapons if they wanted to overthrow the government. So...what gives? Also today: CDC says Covid deaths now "preventable" and cases of post-vaccine heart inflammation skyrocket.

A Fed Lifer's Five Basis Point Farce

By David Stockman

We start with this gem from NY Fed president John Williams. He claims the Fed must keep injecting $120 billion per month of fraudulent credit into Wall Street because, apparently, this quarter’s likely 7% real GDP growth and 5% inflation are not sufficient to meet the Fed’s goals:

“… the data and conditions have not progressed enough for the Federal Open Market Committee to shift its monetary policy stance of strong support for the economic recovery.”…

You can’t say enough ...

Freedom Of Press? US Govt. Seizes Dozens Of Foreign News Websites

​Apparently the "rules-based order" that the Biden Administration touts does not apply to the United States, as the Justice Department announced yesterday it was seizing the websites of dozens of foreign news outlets, including the Iranian government-funded PressTV. Is taking down foreign news sites a good look for the US? This story and more news in today's Liberty Report...

You Can Always Get Another Job -- But You Only Get One Life

By Chris Rossini

Each of our individual lives are extremely personal...to us! We  experience the consequences of our own decisions. No one else experiences them for us. When we choose (and we are constantly choosing every second of the day) we subsequently experience the results of those choices and must deal with them. 

Oftentimes, we a pleased with our choices, but since no human being is all-knowing, we quite often make choices that we end up regretting after the fact. It's impossible to...

It's About Time! Congress Votes To Repeal Iraq War Authorization

Last week the US House voted to repeal the 2002 authorization to attack Iraq. After nineteen years and perhaps a million dead Iraqis, nothing was achieved by the war but death and destruction. Has Washington learned its lesson? Also today, WHO says no jab for kids! And Fauci's corrupt partner is shown the door.

The Road to Authoritarianism is Paved with Fiat Currency

By Ron Paul

Last week, the Federal Reserve announced it will maintain an interest rate target of zero to 0.25 percent for the rest of 2021. The Fed said it will also continue its monthly purchase of 120 billion dollars of Treasury and mortgage-backed securities.

Some Fed board members are forecasting a rate increase by late 2022 or 2023, though with the rate still not reaching one percent. The Fed will neither allow interest rates to rise to market levels nor reduce its purchase of Treasury securi...

Say What? US Planning New Sanctions...On Russia!

President Biden has announced new sanctions are pending on Russia over the alleged poisoning of Russian opposition figure Alexey Navalny last year. This move comes less than a week after what has been billed as a successful Biden/Putin meeting. Also today - "insurrectionists" to the gulag while rioters and looters are set free. Mayor Lightfoot declares "racism" a health crisis and passes out $10 million in Covid funds to fight it. And more...
