Is Biden Holding America Hostage Until ‘Independence’ Day?

By Ron Paul

​Last week President Biden addressed the nation on the first anniversary of the coronavirus being declared a “pandemic.” It was a disturbing speech, warning us that the “hopeful spring” will only emerge “from a dark winter” if all Americans “stick with the rules.”

Whose rules? His rules.

The message from the president was clear: he will only allow us to have some of our freedoms back if we do exactly as he tells us. It was the language of extortion, of a bank robber who demands you do w...

She Wouldn't Wear A Mask...Galveston Police Broke Her Foot

A 65 year old Galveston woman found herself tackled, handcuffed, arrested, and with a broken foot after she refused to leave a local Bank of America branch without her money. The bank demanded she put on a mask, she refused, so they called in the police. Property rights? Also today, first anniversary of the Covid lockdowns. Success or tragic failure?

Who's Responsible For The Notorious Inflation Lies?

As Americans watch their bills relentlessly rise, they're repeatedly told by official sources that there is no inflation, or 'not enough' inflation. According to the Fed, prices aren't rising fast enough! They've yet to hit their "inflation target." So which is it? Are your own eyes lying to you? Or are the bureaucrats refusing to come clean?

Biden Promises Diplomacy, Delivers Militarism

From Syria to Iran to Afghanistan to Russia, President Biden's early promises to focus on diplomacy rather than the alleged brute force of the Trump Administration has not been followed up with action. In fact, US foreign policy is as militaristic as ever.

Rep. Massie BLASTS 'Vaccine Confidence' Propaganda Budget

In a blistering recent Tweet, US Rep. Thomas Massie blasted the inclusion of one billion dollars in the "stimulus" bill to propagandize the American people in favor of various coronavirus vaccines. Do we really need the government taking our money to propagandize us into accepting government policy? Also today, Texas (mostly) re-opens (with some depressing exceptions) and a new peer-reviewed study sheds more light on the "stay home" policies previously used to fight the virus.

Ideas Rule The World

By Chris Rossini

​When we look at outside circumstances, we're looking at the manifestation of ideas. This is why you'll often hear libertarians use the phrase "ideas rule the world."

That phrase is not just an arrangement of empty words. They're literal and powerful.

The best way that this writer can explain exactly why "ideas rule the world," is by using an analogy. The analogy will be one of a garden.

Imagine you are creating your own garden. You've done all the necessary labor to get it started,...

Dr. Bhattacharya: Lockdowns The 'Biggest Public Health Mistake We've Ever Made'

Stanford University Medical School professor Dr. Jay Bhattacharya is featured in Newsweek Magazine condemning the lockdowns across the United States to fight the virus, calling them the biggest mistake ever made by public health authorities. A new study released by none other than the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) ironically appears to bolster Dr. Bhattacharya's claim. Is the truth starting to seep out from the Berlin Wall of lies?

The Fed Enabling Biden and Congress’ Destructive Agenda

By Ron Paul

According to the Congressional Budget Office (CBO), 2021 will be the second year in a row in which the federal debt exceeds Gross Domestic Product (GDP). CBO also projected that this year’s federal deficit will be 2.3 trillion dollars, which is 900 billion dollars less than last year. However, CBO’s projections do not include the 1.9 trillion dollars “stimulus” bill Congress is likely to pass.

The CBO’s report was largely ignored by Congress and the media. One reason the report did not...

Another Big Stimulus: 'Blue State Bailout'...Or Pork For All?

Congress is expected to vote on the final passage of the massive $1.9 trillion "Covid" bailout package that many Republicans are claiming is a bailout for blue states who cratered their economies with Covid lockdowns. Is there truth to this claim, or is there enough pork for all?

Rationing of Goods & Services Doesn't Work --- Liberty Should Never Be Rationed!

The U.S. Constitution, the "Supreme Law of The Land," was designed to chain down the U.S. federal government. Considering the U.S. federal government is the biggest government to ever exist on Earth, it's obvious that the Constitution has failed. Those in power found a loophole. What if "private" corporations, that are intimately tied to government, do the things that government itself is legally forbidden from doing? This loophole has brought us the circumstances that we deal with today.
