When Liberty Is Brushed Aside

By Chris Rossini

Billionaires get a lot of press these days. They're the bad guys. There's only a handful of them, and they're such an easy target. So if you're a politician looking to 'get votes,' people with a lot of money can be painted as "greedy" and the votes will come pouring in.

It's very simplistic, but it works.

People are led to believe that we have non-greedy, pure as the driven snow "public servants" in Washington DC. They've followed their calling to "serve the people," and a bunch...

'Bring Our Troops Home' - With Idaho Lt. Gov. Janice McGeachin

There is a growing grassroots movement among conservatives across the United States to encourage US withdrawal from seemingly endless wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. State legislatures are getting in the game, passing legislation restricting state guard units from deploying overseas unless war has been declared by Congress. Idaho Lt. Governor Janice McGeachin has spearheaded efforts across the country to end endless wars.

Democrats Ignore Trump’s Real Violations

By Ron Paul

This week the latest Democratic Party attempt to remove President Trump from office – impeachment over Trump allegedly holding up an arms deal to Ukraine – flopped. Just like “Russiagate” and the Mueller investigation, and a number of other attempts to overturn the 2016 election.

We’ve had three years of accusations and investigations with untold millions of dollars spent in a never-ending Democratic Party effort to remove President Trump from office.

Why do the Democrats keep...

Trump's 2021 Budget: Big Gift For Military Spendthrifts

The annual charade of the Executive branch presenting a budget proposal for the next year began today. President Trump presented a massive $4.8 trillion budget proposal that gives the impression of slashing domestic spending while boosting spending on militarism. Do we really need what the Pentagon is buying? Do military spending increases really make us safer...or less safe?

A Progressive Appeal To New Hampshire Libertarians, With Tulsi Gabbard

US Rep. and Democratic Party presidential candidate Tulsi Gabbard joins today's Liberty Report to discuss the real resonance of her antiwar message among New Hampshire voters. But why is the corporate media and even her own party doing its best to make sure that her voice is not heard? How did she come to turn against US foreign interventionism, after enlisting in the military early in the 2000s?

Trump's State Of The Union - 'America First' or Neocon Foreign Policy?

While Trump's State of the Union speech did not overly focus on foreign policy, what he did say would have been music to neocon and pro-empire ears. Trillions for the US military machine and plenty of new enemies to gear up to fight. Plenty of elections to interfere with. Is this "America first"?

Mr. Lefty & Mr. Righty

By Chris Rossini

Mr. Lefty is out taking a walk after a hard day at work. All of a sudden he finds himself pinned up against a wall, and hears "Give me your money!"

"No way! Leave me alone!," Mr. Lefty replies in a shaken voice.

"Give it to me or I'll break your arms," the thug responds.

Mr. Lefty gives the thug his cash. He doesn't want to, but he can tell that the threat of violence is real. The cost of giving the thug the money is less than a serious fight.

So the thug gets Mr. Lefty's money...

Washington's Lonely Mr. No - With Rep Thomas Massie

Iowa Caucus Fiasco: Something New, Or Deja Vu?

Last night's Iowa Democratic Caucus has devolved into a poster child for how NOT to conduct an election. This is nothing new. Conspiracy, incompetence, and group-think have perhaps all come together to deliver a huge political present to President Trump. Maybe democracy itself is the problem.
