America: The Dictatress of the World

By Jacob G. Hornberger

On July 21, 1821, John Quincy Adams, who would go on to become the sixth president of the United States, warned that if America were ever to abandon its founding principle of non-interventionism in foreign affairs, she might well become the dictatress of the world.

Adams issued his warning in a speech he delivered to Congress, a speech that has gone down in history with the title “In Search of Monsters to Destroy.”

Adams was referring to the fact that the United States was...

What Did Washington Achieve in its Six Year War on Syria?

Press Play to hear Ron Paul deliver his Weekly Update:By Ron Paul

Now that the defeat of ISIS in Syria appears imminent, with the Syrian army clearing out some of the last ISIS strongholds in the east, Washington’s interventionists are searching for new excuses to maintain the illegal US military presence in the country.

Are There Right-Wing Snowflakes Now?

By Chris Rossini

It becomes so difficult then to handle a situation like a natural disaster when a country has been undermined (for so long) by Socialism, we...

Regime Change Hypocrisy

By Liberty Report Staff

Almost a year after the election, the witch-hunt continues in an attempt to find something to implicate Russian meddling.

This despite the fact that Trump's policies are nearly identical to what would have been expected of Hillary, had she won.

The U.S. has covertly and overtly staged coups and regime changes for many decades. The latest blatant interference and subsequent coup being in Ukraine.

Shouldn't that be a topic of conversation?

Instead we're talking about Twitter...
