How The Swamp Got To Reagan & Trump

By Liberty Report Staff

Ronald Reagan was a great campaigner. He articulated how "government is not the answer, it is the problem."

Donald Trump was a great campaigner as well. He hit the right notes in order to get those votes.

The American people still have a strong under-current for the ideas of freedom. Even though a lot of freedom has been snuffed away, the desire is still there. America still has a strain that doesn't want perpetual war and welfare.

That's why politicians tap into this unde...

Quiz For Americans (North Korea Edition)

By Liberty Report Staff

North Korea is a socialist basket case. Socialism produces basket cases on a regular basis. It's nothing new.

There's no reason to like Kim Jong-un or any other dictator in the world.

Most countries don't meddle with North Korea. They mind their own business. About a century ago, the American federal government took a different path. Everything is its business.

Before supporting an American war over in Korea, how about taking a quiz.

No cheating.Does North Korea tax you?Doe...

President Trump To Unleash The CIA Drones

Trump's UN Speech Was Tailored For Americans That Were Born Yesterday

By Chris Rossini

In America, we do not seek to impose our way of life on anyone, but rather to let it shine as an example for everyone to watch.

Those were actual words spoken by President Trump today at the UN. If only it were possible to see the thoughts swirling through the minds of everyone listening.

The words "yeah right" most likely dominated at that moment.

If only the president's words were true. Instead, the U.S. government has been at constant war (both overt and covert) for an entire...

Rand Paul's Senate Vote Rolls Back the Warfare State

By Ron Paul

Last week, Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) reminded Congress that in matters of war, they have the authority and the responsibility to speak for the American people. Most Senators were not too happy about the reminder, which came in the form of a forced vote on whether to allow a vote on his amendment to repeal the Afghanistan and Iraq war resolutions of 2001 and 2002.

It wasn’t easy. Sen. Paul had to jump through hoops just to get a vote on whether to have a vote.

That is how bad it is in...

America Kicks Innocent North Koreans While They're Down

By Liberty Report Staff

Sanctions are an act of war. They are a form of blockade.

They hurt the innocent civilians of the targeted country, and leave the leaders unscathed. Often, sanctions strengthen the leaders, since they can point at the blockade as the reason for the people's misery.

What do you think American politicians would do if another nation blockaded us? Do you think they would blame themselves?

Cuba should've taught America a lesson...Sanctions hurt innocents!

Sadly, that lesson was...

America's Broken System: Left & Right Authoritarianism

We're witnessing a battle between authoritarian groups in America. The "Alt-Right" and Cultural Marxists are fighting to control a government that is bankrupt, doesn't follow the Constitution, and controls a foreign empire that is running on fumes. Ron Paul describes our dilemma.

America’s slow-motion military coup

By Stephen Kinzer

In a democracy, no one should be comforted to hear that generals have imposed discipline on an elected head of state. That was never supposed to happen in the United States. Now it has.

Among the most enduring political images of the 20th century was the military junta. It was a group of grim-faced officers — usually three — who rose to control a state. The junta would tolerate civilian institutions that agreed to remain subservient, but in the end enforced its own will. As re...
