Forget The Impeachment Circus...Here's What Congress Should Really Investigate!

While the country is being dragged through the three ring impeachment circus - which is all about politics and nothing about policy, President Trump's secret wars and interventions across the globe continue. Venezuela, Middle East, Lithuania...the intervention is on overdrive. But Congress has no interest in its Constitutional obligations when it comes to war. Political theater is far more exciting...

The Inherent Nature of Compulsory Schooling

By Eric Barajas

For almost a century, all U.S. states have enforced compulsory education laws that permit the State to extort parents at gunpoint, taking their money and children away from them to fund and fill indoctrination camps for a third of the day, 5 days a week, 9 months a year, and 12 to 13 years of their children’s formal development. The layperson or the pseudo-intellectual may believe that calling schools “indoctrination camps” seems quite farfetched, and it does until you re...

Smoking Gun? Impeachment Blows Up In Democrat Faces...Again!

Just as the Democratic Party was gearing up for a good, old-fashioned impeachment - something they've been desperate for since Trump was elected - the release of the transcript of the phone call between Trump and the Ukraine president has fizzled their hopes. Again. There is no "there" there and again the Democrats and their allies in the mainstream media are left looking foolish. 

Trump's Right! The Future Doesn't Belong To The Globalists (And Neither Does The Present)

By Chris Rossini

While President Trump's actions all-too-often go against his words, he did say something quite admirable yesterday at the UN General Assembly. The president said: "the future does not belong to globalists. The future belongs to patriots."

It's a nice touch for President Trump to say these words in front of people who literally believe that they can "run the world," or "plan for the world," or "save the world," or any other delusion that they've fastened onto themselves.

The worl...

Impeachment Hysteria! But Who's Guilty, Trump Or Biden?

The US House is said to have pushed impeachment of President Trump to the front burner after it has been revealed that he discussed a corruption investigation of Joe Biden's son with the president of Ukraine. Earlier, Biden bragged that he got the prosecutor fired and the investigation was put on ice. Was there a quid pro quo for US military aid? Who was the "whistleblower"? Who is guilty? Both? And what about the foreign aid in the first place?

Negative Interest Rates are the Price We Pay for De-Civilization

By Jeff Deist

Do central bankers really think negative interest rates are rational?

Calculation Error,” which Bloomberg terminals sometimes display(1), is an apt metaphor for the current state of central bank policy. Both Europe and Asia are now awash in $13 trillion worth of negative-yielding sovereign and corporate bonds, and Alan Greenspan suggests negative interest rates soon will arrive in the US. Despite claims by both Mr. Trump and Fed Chair Jerome Powell concerning the health of the Ame...

Will More US Troops in Saudi Arabia Make America Great?

By Ron Paul

President Trump deserves credit for resisting the war cries from neocons like Sen. Lindsey Graham and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo after last week’s attack on two Saudi oil facilities. Pompeo was eager to blame Iran because he wants war with Iran and anything that can trigger such a war is fine with him. So he put the president in a difficult spot by declaring Iran the culprit: suddenly the president’s options in the media and in Washington were limited to “how to punish Iran.”

Defending Saudi Arabia...Hardly Our Moral Responsibility!

President Trump's decision to deploy more US troops (and more failed Patriot Missile batteries) signals the US Administration's continuing determination to back Saudi Arabia in its aggressive war against Yemen. The US tide of public opinion is turning against granting Saudi Arabia a blank check to destroy Yemen. Trump may find himself alone in his continued Saudi backstopping.
