Ron Paul Classic: Free-Market in Organ Donation

By Norm Singleton

President Trump recently signed an executive order aimed at improving diagnosis and treatment of kidney patients. One part of the order aims to incentivize kidney donations by providing donors compensation for lost wages and child care expenses incurred as a result of their act of donating.

While there is no constitutional authorization for the federal government to provide compensation to organ donors—and certainly not for the president to do...

Is Trump Really Going To Take Syria's Oil?

President Trump yesterday claimed he would be leaving US troops in Syria to make sure no one takes the oil. Leaving aside who's oil it actually is (hint: it's in Syria), what are the logistics and what is the wisdom of leaving a couple of hundred US troops dispersed through Syria to guard oil facilities? Good move? Dumb move?

With US Withdrawal, Is Hillary's War On Syria Finally Over?

President Trump announced this morning that the US would continue to withdraw from Syria and allow the countries in the region to solve their own border disputes. He claims the US was 100 percent responsible for the destruction of ISIS. He blamed the Obama Administration for not removing Assad, blaming him for gassing his own people. Is the war over?

Homeschoolers are Educated, Not Indoctrinated

By Ron Paul

Schoolchildren across the country recently skipped school or walked out of class to rally for new restrictions on our economic and personal liberties in the name of fighting “climate change.” Instead of punishing students for playing hooky to promote a political cause, many teachers and administrators allowed, or even encouraged, students to skip school to attend these events. Public schools have also given students the day off to attend pro-gun con...

Theft Can Never Be Virtuous

By Chris Rossini

We are all born as free and independent individuals. But coming to know and understand what that means has been quite the issue for mankind, to say the least.

Those who attempt to smear advocates of liberty, will often point out that to be free means that you can do whatever you want, to whomever you want, with no restrictions. This is a very amateurish argument, of course.

The truth is we are individuals (which necessarily means we are not omnipotent). Since we are not omnipotent, there are limits to...are 

'Truth Is Treason' - The Torture Of Julian Assange

Wikileaks publisher Julian Assange appeared before a UK judge to request more time to prepare his case against the US extradition request. Acting more like a Soviet tribunal, the judge went on to deny his every request. He is not allowed to prepare to fight his extradition. Even though Assange has served his time for "jumping bail," the British court ruled that he must remain in prison. His shocking mental and physical condition after being held for months in UK's notorious Belmarsh prison on...

The Endless Propaganda To Keep The Endless Wars Going

By Chris Rossini

Americans have been voting for peace candidates for decades. One of the surest ways to become president in America is to promise that you'll put an end to the endless wars.

George W. Bush did it ... Obama did it ... and so did Trump.

Yet, despite the empty promises and Nobel Peace Prizes, neither Bush, nor Obama delivered. They expanded the forever wars with reckless abandon.

While President Trump is still in the thick of it, he has made a very bold  move to remove 1,000 American troops from Syria.

The p...

End The Suffering - Get Government OUT Of The Healthcare Industry!

There's a timeless principle that whatever government touches, it ultimately ruins. Many years ago, government invaded the healthcare industry, along with the blessings of politically-connected corporations. The disastrous results cannot be more obvious. The answer is to rid the industry of government interference. The politically-connected corporations will fight for continued "government regulations," but the fresh air of free markets are the only fix for this gargantuan mess.
