Careening Toward Catastrophe: Why Is Washington Pouring Gas On The Russia/Ukraine Fire?

Yesterday the Senate Foreign Relations approved a massive $300 million per year in military aid to Ukraine, even as the conflict in eastern Ukraine looks set to blow apart. The Biden Administration is packed with anti-Russia fanatical hawks. This week an apparent US-backed coup attempt on Russia's ally Belarus was broken up. Does Washington believe Russia will bend to its will? What's the next step? Former CIA officer Phil Giraldi joins today's Liberty Report with his analysis.

Searching For Truth In A Time Of Deceit - With Guest Gary Heavin

Things are moving fast. Great reset. Build back better. Cancel culture. Media power. Big tech. How can we search for truth in what appears to be a time of deception? RPI Board Member, filmmaker, and philanthropist Gary Heavin joins today's program.

Why Authoritarianism Always Has, And Always Must, Fail

By Chris Rossini

The surest way to sentence yourself to a life of constant frustration is by attempting to control that which you cannot control.

On the flip side, the surest way to living a fulfilling life is by staying focused on that which you can control, and making your choices accordingly.

For example, let's say that you open your weather app and see that a hurricane has formed and is heading your way. Current projections have it hitting your area in a couple of days.

You have absolutely no co...

Media Lies Exposed: Officer Sicknick And The False 'Insurrection' Narrative

Yesterday's final report by Washington, DC's chief medical examiner that Capitol Hill Police Officer Brian Sicknick did not die from being beaten with a fire extinguisher - a claim echoed throughout the mainstream media - but rather died from "natural causes" the day after the January 6th melee at the Capitol has destroyed the MSM narrative that an armed and deadly insurrection had taken place. Will the media apologize for lying repeatedly for months? Will they be held to account for their lies?...

Why Can’t We ‘Just March Out’ Of Afghanistan?

By Ron Paul

Last week President Biden announced a “full” US withdrawal from Afghanistan – the longest war in US history – by the 20th anniversary of the 9/11 attack on the United States. While this announcement is to be welcomed, the delayed US withdrawal may result in Americans and Afghans dying needlessly for good PR optics back home. We all remember how many Americans died after President Bush’s “Mission Accomplished” stunt in Iraq.

The war has been a disaster from day one. So why wait to end i...

Maxine Waters: Inciting Actual Insurrection?

Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA) was fond of accusing former President Trump of inciting insurrection with his speech on January 6th. However over the weekend Waters flew to Minneapolis and encouraged already violent street protesters to continue and even become "more confrontational" if a jury does not hand down a murder charge against police officer Derek Chauvin who is accused of causing the death of George Floyd last May. Is this incitement to violence and possibly insurrection?

The Worst Tax: Who's Responsible For Skyrocketing Food Prices?

Government is always limited to how much it can tax the people directly. People will ultimately rebel against high taxes. So, as a workaround, a monopoly was granted to The Federal Reserve. If the government wants money, The Fed can just print it. The people will still pay for this, of course, but not directly. They'll pay when they see rising prices in the marketplace. The government can just blame something else as the cause. Inflation is the worst tax of them all.

Biden Declares 'National Emergency' - Blindsides Russia With Sanctions, Economic Warfare

Just two days after speaking with Russian President Putin by phone, and suggesting a summit, President Biden has hit Russia with another round of sanctions - including an attack on the Russian currency. The reasons given for this "national emergency" include the seven year old return of Crimea to Russian control and the still-unproven allegations of Russian election meddling, hacking, and placing bounties on US soldiers' heads in Afghanistan.

This California County Is Launching A 'Vaccine Passport'...Is Yours Next?

Orange County officials have announced that they are launching a "vaccine passport" system to make people feel "safe." While Biden has claimed no interest in a federal system, will increasing pressure, primarily from "blue" states, push the Administration to change its tune? Which state or county is next to demand us to "show your papers!"?

Two Front War? Three Fronts? What's Biden's Game in Taiwan, Iran, and Ukraine?

The Biden Administration is becoming even more bellicose toward Russia and China over "crises" in Taiwan and Ukraine. Meanwhile US-backed Israel is attacking Iranian nuclear facilities. During the Cold War the hawks always pushed for the ability to fight a two-front war. Can a US military already bogged down for 20 years fight a THREE front war? Will someone in Washington display some common sense?
