Fake News: The Media Cannot "Cause" Recessions As Trump Claims

The president took to Twitter this morning to make a claim that doesn't hold any water about the economy and the media. At a time when a serious recession inches closer and closer, political posturing should take a back seat. The Federal Reserve is the culprit. It creates the bubbles and the unavoidable busts. 

The Terror of Deflation v. The Love of Inflation

Can you imagine the money, that you work so hard for, actually increasing in purchasing power every year? Can you imagine your bills gradually falling over the years, instead of relentlessly rising? Of course you can't! And the reason that you can't is because of the government-created monopoly called The Federal Reserve.

Being Precise About The Meaning of Liberty

By Chris Rossini

We live in an age where many individuals are becoming increasingly hostile to truth, facts and reality. The meaning of words are often twisted and language is routinely corrupted.

Many believe that by taking thought, they can add one cubit to their stature. If they think it --- and it feels good to think it --- then regardless of the truth, it becomes their law.

This road has always been, and always will be, a road that individuals can take. A person can, if he so desires,...

Trump Administration Wants Permanent Repeal of the 4th Amendment

Departing Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats sent Congress a letter requesting that several features of the misnamed USA FREEDOM Act be made permanent, allowing the US government to spy in Americans in perpetuity. The Trump Administration wants to be able to intercept phone calls and text messages as well as snoop into business records and other violations of the Fourth Amendment. The FREEDOM Act was passed after Ed Snowden revealed that the NSA was illegally spying on American citiz...

US Sanctions Killing Innocent Iranians...Just 'Collateral Damage'?

The US government claim that US sanctions do not affect medicines and humanitarian assistance to Iran is a bold-faced lie. They make the manufacture of medicines in Iran nearly impossible and they make the cost of medicines beyond the reach of Iranians by disrupting the supply chain of raw materials. US sanctions policy kills innocents under the guise of being "humanitarian."

The Most Important Skill I Learned in High School

By Ardaschir

[Editor's note: The following is an essay from a student of the Ron Paul Curriculum] Now, arriving at the end of my fourth year in high school with the Ron Paul Curriculum, I just had to fill out a report card on my own. Unlike a conventional report card, this one was not meant to give you an A+ in calculus, a B in US history, and so on. It was not about grades in specific courses: it would be hard for students to judge that on their own. Instead, I had to consider my improv...
