Will The Debt Hit $50 Trillion Under Trump?

As the emotions of last year’s election fade away, homeostasis is kicking in. The pull of the status quo gets stronger with each passing day. The results of the election were crystal clear. American voters want “America First.” But American voters are in perpetual competition with donors that want “American Empire First” and “American Megastate First." The two are not the same. They are mutually exclusive. It must be one or the other. Watch Here

2025 New Year’s Resolutions for DC, Pt. One

By Ron Paul

​When the end of another year rolls around it is not a bad idea to think about how we might improve ourselves and perhaps even improve the lives of others given the clean slate of a New Year. Many people resolve to exercise more, eat better, spend more time with their families. These are all worthy goals, but shouldn’t our elected officials and the bureaucrats who run DC be making some resolutions of their own? Here are a few suggestions.

First up is Congress. Next month the 119th US C...

End Congress’s Christmas Tradition

By Ron Paul

​This week saw a new twist in what has become a D.C. Christmas tradition. I am not referring to the lighting of the White House Christmas tree but to passage of a “continuing resolution” (CR) funding the government and thus avoiding a Christmastime government shutdown.

It took the production of three separate CRs before one passed in the Senate after midnight Friday night and was then signed by President Joe Biden.

A reason an earlier CR failed to obtain congressional approval was that ...

Dangerous Waiting Game: “Debt Debate” With Two Interventionist Parties

It’s not a good look when Republicans and Democrats “negotiate” together and present an unreadable 1,500 page bill. It’s also not a good look for a follow-up Republican bill that seeks to raise the debt ceiling again for two years. We’re going bankrupt thanks to $36 trillion in debt. The American people voted to go in the other direction. Why doesn’t Washington ever get it?

Speaker Johnson SLAMMED For Bloated Spending Bill!

After promising there would be no Christmas Continuing Resolution...Speaker Johnson put out...a Christmas Continuing Resolution. It was jammed with so much pork that he faced a GOP revolt in the House and a D.O.G.E revolt from Elon and Vivek. What's next? Also today, New House-introduced "D.O.G.E." Bill is unimpressive. We'll tell you why. Watch Here

Have Yourself A Merry Pork-Filled Christmas...Thanks To Speaker Johnson

If it's Christmas, then it's another massive, bloated "Continuing Resolution" keeping the US government open for a few more months. Every year House leadership - doesn't matter which party - strong-arms Members to vote for the bloated bill...or miss Christmas with their families. Also today: "Peacekeepers" in Ukraine is a very bad idea. That's why the neocons love it.

$267 Million Wasted In Fight Against 'Misinformation'

According to a new report, the US government keeps pouring money into fighting "misinformation" - but is it just another word for censorship? Also today: Israel moves deeper into Syria. What's the endgame?

What Are We Doing in Syria?

​By Ron Paul

My first reaction to news earlier this month that the Syrian government had been overthrown was, how much did we have to do with it; how involved was the CIA; and how much is it going to cost.

As with Saddam and Gaddafi before him, we know that Assad was no libertarian hero. But unleashing an army dedicated to establishing an Islamic state in once-secular Syria hardly seems like a good idea to me.

As with President George W. Bush’s “Mission Accomplished” moment after Saddam’s overthrow...

A Road Map To Ending The Fed

"How do you End The Fed?” is a common question. Since the government created the Fed by signing the Federal Reserve Act in 1913 (yes, The Fed is a government-created monopoly) then the simple answer is for Congress to repeal that Act. But alas, it is not so simple in practice.

The Fed has been our albatross for over 100 years and it has entrenched itself into our economic lives. Steps can definitely be taken, however, to free ourselves from this immoral and unconstitutional monopoly. Over time, a...
