Trump Listens to Ron Paul on Senior Health Freedom (Part Two)

By Norm Singleton

[Editor's Note: You can read Part 1 here]

In addition to allowing seniors to form private contracts with medical providers and not forcing seniors into the Medicare program as a condition of receiving Social Security, President Trump’s executive order on Medicare also orders the Department of Health and Human Services  to reduce regulations and barriers preventing seniors from taking full advantage of Medicare Medical Savings Accounts (MSAs).

Impeachment...Or Show Trial? Pelosi's Anonymous Accusers.

Why are the Democrats' witnesses for the prosecution (the "whistleblowers") allowed to remain anonymous and avoid cross-examination? Pelosi was roped into proceeding with impeachment of President Trump against her political judgement and now she is beginning to pay the price as the case against Trump continues to unravel. She still has the media on her side, but how long will that last, as new Ukraine facts about Biden and the non-blackmail of Zelensky continue to seep out?

The Founders Warned Us About Central Banking

By Stewart Jones

The Federal Reserve just lowered interest rates for the second time this year and announced more quantitative easing by injecting even more US dollars into the market. The days of cheap money will soon come to an end, and I fear that many people won’t realize what’s happening until the rug is pulled out from under them.

As economist Henry Hazlitt wrote, the practices of the Fed distort the real-world market indicators of cost, future prices, investments and production. A recent...

Trump Listens to Ron Paul and Gives Seniors Health Freedom

By Norm Singleton

Last Friday, President Trump signed an Executive Order instructing federal agencies to take a number of steps to give seniors more choices in the Medicare program. The executive order repeals a Clinton-era rule forbidding any senior who refuses to accept Medicare from enrolling in Social Security. This provision forces seniors who would rather provide their own health care to accept government health care or forego Social Security benefits. Many seniors need Social Security b...

Iraq: Popular Revolt...Or Color Revolution?

Violent unrest in Iraq over the past several weeks have claimed more than 100 lives and left thousands wounded. With a devastated economy, even 16 years after its "liberation" by the US, and with corruption rampant, it's little surprise that people are taking to the streets. But are there other factors involved in this unrest? Is the US trying to overthrow its "ally" in Baghdad?

President Trump Is Standing Up Against A 100-Year Old Habit of Never-Ending War

By Chris Rossini

America's Founders were not perfect angels. They were not omnipotent, or all-knowing. But they understood the ideas of Liberty and the perpetual struggle of humanity against the sewage of power.

Freedom of speech? ... Huge!

The natural liberty of arming and defending your life and property?  ... Huge!

The Founders were geniuses for making these the first two in the Bill of Rights. People may not be able to recite the entire Bill of Rights, but they know those first two.

The Founde...

President Trump - Don't Cave In To Warmongers On Syria Withdrawal!

No sooner did President Trump Tweet his determination to remove US troops from the "endless" war in Syria than the entire Washington Beltway had a total breakdown. From Mitch McConnell to Ilhan Omar the cry was identical:  "How dare you! How dare you bring US troops home!" Will the President cave in to his enemies in Washington and the media? Or will he keep his promises and fulfill the wishes of a majority of Republicans?

Federal Reserve’s Latest Bailouts More Proof Bad Times Ahead

By Ron Paul

Since September 17, the Federal Reserve Bank of New York has pumped billions of dollars into the repurchasing (repo) market, the first such intervention since 2009. The Fed has announced that it will continue to inject as much as 75 billion dollars a day into the repo market until November 4.

The repo market provides a means for banks that are temporarily short of cash to obtain short-term (usually one day) loans from other banks. The Fed’s interventions were a response to a sudden...

Trump: 'We're Leaving Syria.' Neocons Go Nuts!

President Trump has indicated that he will fulfill one of his central campaign promises - to get the US out of the endless wars in the Middle East and elsewhere. He has directed US troops to begin withdrawing from parts of northeast Syria in advance of an expected Turkish incursion into the region. Neocons screech that this will mean a comeback for ISIS and that abandoning the Kurds is treachery. They want to continue the "successful" Obama policy of eight years.

550,000 Homeless In The U.S. and AOC Wants More Rent Control!

Rent controls are one of those zombie government interventions that, no matter how much destruction they’ve caused, seem to never go away. Rent controls may ‘feel good,’ and ‘get votes,’ but they produce very bad consequences. AOC is pushing yet another terrible idea: national rent controls.
