Trump Acquitted (Again), But Trump Hatred Continues

By Ron Paul

​Last week’s second impeachment trial of former President Trump should serve as a warning that something is very wrong in US politics. Far from a measured, well-investigated, rock-solid case against the former president, America was again abused with day after day of character assassination, innuendo, false claims, and even falsified “evidence.”

The trial wasn’t intended to win a conviction of Trump for “incitement” because the Democrats already knew that the votes were not there. So, ...

The Folly of Trying To Control The Uncontrollable

By Chris Rossini

Imagine taking a walk down your street, and as you pass each of your neighbors houses, you ask yourself, "How much control do I have over what is going on in that house?"

The same answer should pop into your mind as you pass each house, "None. Zero. Zilch. Every person in every house controls him or herself."

Now, imagine going into each of the houses, and telling everyone that lives there: "You know, everyone in this house should be eating fake meat."

What kind of reaction do you t...

Globalism Goes Bold: Bill Gates Wants Your Hamburger

Gazillionaire globalist Bill Gates has a new book out on how to tackle what he sees as the problem of climate change. One of his guidelines to save the planet? Give up your meat and grab a "plant-based" burger instead. 'You can get used to the taste difference,' he said in a recent interview. While such "big ideas" might normally come under some scrutiny in the media, it turns out that Gates has given something like a quarter of a billion dollars to dozens of media outlets. He also funds the "fa...

The 'Pelosi Commission' - What We Won't Hear About The 1/6 Capitol Melee

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is calling for a "9/11-like commission" to look into the events around the January 6 riot at the US Capitol. GOP House Members have sent her a list of pertinent questions, including about her role in ensuring or undermining Capitol security on that day. Will this commission actually look to uncover truth, or like most commissions will it strive to sweep truth under the rug? Or will the commission just be an extended "trial" of Trump and his supporters after the failure...

Lincoln Project Scandal: Washington Corruption As Usual?

The Lincoln Project was founded by a group of "never-Trump" Republicans, including the former presidential campaign manager of John McCain. While the anti-Trump "resistance" types wrote big checks, the Lincoln Project founders banked big bucks for themselves. Some of the founders did even more repulsive things. Is this a singular scandal or is this just business as usual for the grifter class that exists alongside big-spending political campaigns? Also today: Newsom and Cuomo both in trouble; Mc...

The Social-Cultural Authoritarian Bubble Will Pop!

The century-old big government obsession in America is getting old and weathered. Debts that are never-ending...Wars that are never-ending...One Federal Reserve economic bubble after another...Social-Cultural manias...All are coming to a head at some point. Big Government is always unsustainable, and Americans should once again embrace their roots of individual liberty.

Change? Biden To Continue Persecuting Assange

Proving that nothing really substantive changes in Washington, the Biden Administration announced this week that it would continue to seek the extradition of Julian Assange, who faces 17 counts of espionage in the US. Also today, the Biden Administration continues his predecessor's saber-rattling in the South China Sea. Tampa update with a twist. Social media...or government media?

Liberty Is An Inside Game

By Chris Rossini

Let's say a friend approaches you and says, "We really need to fight what is going on right now. We need to fight this belief that 2+2=5."

You respond that 2+2 never has, and never will, equal 5. What is there to fight? It's not real. How do you fight something that isn't real? 

And why stop there? 

2+2 doesn't equal 55 either...or 555...or 5 million...

Must we fight those too? Isn't the "fight" over at the moment that you acknowledge, accept and believe that 2+2 always has, and alwa...
