Second Amendment in the Firing Line

By Ron Paul

Gun control was already a Biden Administration priority before the recent shootings in Georgia, Colorado, and Virginia. In fact, the House of Representatives passed two gun-control bills weeks before the shootings.

One of the House-passed bills expands background checks to include private sales, including those made at gun shows. Under this bill, someone who is not a licensed federal firearms dealer cannot sell a firearm without first relinquishing it to a federally-licensed dealer. Th...

Vaccine Passports: Your Ticket To Tyranny

Mainstream media is reporting that the Biden Administration is seriously looking into establishing some kind of Federal vaccine passport system, where Americans who cannot (or will not) prove to the government they have been jabbed with the experimental vaccine will be legally treated as second-class citizens. The system will quickly morph into a copy of China's "social credit" system, where undesirable behaviors are severely punished. With Covid dying out across the country as herd immunity is ...

Freedom Eliminates The Evils of Socialism & Fascism

Socialism & Fascism are two sides of the same totalitarian coin, with the latter ideology being an offshoot of the former. While Socialism preaches the State being the sole owner of the means of production, Fascism preaches a partnership of State (Power) and Corporations (Money). Socialism leads to rapid ruin, while Fascism leads to a longer and drawn out ruin. The destination is the same regardless of the speed in getting there. Freedom and free markets are the only escape from this totalitaria...

Covid-Testing-Industrial-Complex: Too Big To Fail

Over the past year the Covid testing industry has blasted into the stratosphere to become a $100 billion per year industry. Powerful and influential forces are making a fortune from tests that have been proven largely inaccurate and Americans are being forced to foot the bill. If you subsidize something you get more of it. Also today, Covid corruption rocks Germany's ruling party and a new WHO-funded study is raising eyebrows.

Fauci: US Covid Lockdowns 'No Mistake'

Appearing on the Hugh Hewitt show yesterday, Fauci was asked whether, given that lockdown states did no better than non-lockdown states in preventing Covid deaths, the lockdowns were a mistake in retrospect. Fauci answered, "I don't think so." New data is emerging suggesting the lockdowns may have led to more deaths than they saved. What's Fauci's game? Also today, Germany's Merkel backs down from lockdown and Sweden does best on excess mortality.

Beware The Monopolistic Narratives

By Chris Rossini

Imagine walking through the park on a nice sunny day and an unanticipated event occurs. All of a sudden you see in the distance a giant dog racing towards you at full speed. This is not a little toy dog that you can pet should it come up to you. No, if this dog were any bigger, it would be classified as a horse.

Quickly you look for an owner and you don't see one. No one is yelling for this creature to stop and come back. Just as quickly, your mind searches for a way to safety. Yo...

'Border Crisis' - Conspiracy...Or Bad Philosophy?

Suddenly we are facing a "crisis" at the border, with tens of thousands pouring in illegally. Democrats are starting to see the crisis in humanitarian terms and Republicans are seeing the crisis in political terms. Both are partly right, but both are missing the point. Also today, new PEW study shows shocking rate of depression and anxiety due to Covid lockdowns.

Want a Job? Get a Shot!

By Ron Paul

​Mask tyranny reached a new low recently when a family was kicked off a Spirit Airlines flight because their four-year-old autistic son was not wearing a mask. The family was removed from the plane even though the boy’s doctor had decided the boy should be exempted from mask mandates because the boy panics and engages in behavior that could pose a danger to himself when wearing a mask.

Besides, four-year-olds do not present much risk of spreading or contracting coronavirus. Even if mas...

Sen. Rand Paul Spars With Fauci: 'Noble' Lies And Political Theater

Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) had a heated exchange with CDC's Fauci in the Senate late last week, where the Senator pushed the bureaucrat to provide a single study showing that the possibility of re-infection among those who had Covid or had been vaccinated justifies current orders to continue wearing masks. What about the variants? Also today...even Fauci is admitting the six foot rule is not "science." Finally, protests in Europe.

Democracy Cannot Be A License To Steal

Democracy is useful for the peaceful transfer of power. However, in an of itself, Democracy does not equal "Freedom." In fact, neither the Declaration of Independence, nor The U.S. Constitution mention the word "Democracy" anywhere. Is it a coincidence that the U.S. Constitution is almost completely ignored at the same time that America is considered a "Democracy"?
