Sen. Rand Paul: Senate GOP Decides to Keep Obamacare

By Senator Rand Paul (R-KY)

I miss the old days, when Republicans stood for repealing Obamacare. Republicans across the country and every member of my caucus campaigned on repeal – often declaring they would tear out Obamacare “root and branch!”

What happened? Now too many Republicans are falling all over themselves to stuff hundreds of billions of taxpayers’ dollars into a bill that doesn’t repeal Obamacare and feeds Big Insurance a huge bailout.

Obamacare regulations? Still here. Taxes? Many s...

Mosul: Another 'Mission Accomplished'

After US-led efforts to liberate Mosul from ISIS control, the entire city is destroyed. Civilian deaths from US-led airstrikes are in the thousands. The US mainstream media is silent. But if Mosul is the great success that the US president and military leaders claim it is, can we bring the troops home now?

Ron Paul with Larry King: Misguided foreign policy is biggest threat to US

By Ron Paul

I recently had the great pleasure of sitting down for a conversation with Larry King.  We discussed how America's foreign policies are the biggest threat to our own country. We also talked about how Obamacare helped to destroy the doctor-patient relationship. I hope you enjoy it.

Thinking Beyond The Counterfeiting Age

By Liberty Report Staff

We're living through a unique time in monetary history.

Governments, via their central banks, print money out-of-thin-air to finance gargantuan welfare and warfare states. In short, it's a system of legalized counterfeiting by private monopolies.

While obviously it's possible for such a dishonest and diabolical system to exist, it's at the same time impossible for it to last.

It's time to start thinking about the post-counterfeiting age.

Ron Paul discusses with Power Tradin...

Back To Benghazi - Are More US Troops The Answer?

According to media reports, President Trump is set to announce a significant shift in US policy toward Libya. He is expected to send in some 50 special forces troops on a permanent basis and to establish a diplomatic presence there. Can more US troops and bureaucrats fix what they destroyed in the first place?

Speaking of overthrowing governments and getting away with it...

By Liberty Report StaffNo one should be surprised that neocons are unhappy with a ceasefire in Syria.

America working with Russia is a cardinal sin according to the neocon bible.

Senator John McCain is very unhappy that Putin is "getting away" with this:CBS reports: 

"If you were Vladimir Putin, who I've gotten to know over the years, you're sitting there and you got away with literally trying to change the outcome not just of our election. French election. Tried to overthrow the government of M...

Partial Syria Ceasefire (Again). Who's Winning, Trump Or Putin?

A partial ceasefire has taken affect in south west Syria in a deal finalized by last week's Putin/Trump meeting. This is not the first "ceasefire" declared. Will it be the last? Who comes out better in the deal?

Janet Yellen: False Prophet of Prosperity

Press Play to hear Ron Paul deliver the following Weekly Update:By Ron Paul

Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen recently predicted that, thanks to the regulations implemented after the 2008 market meltdown, America would not experience another economic crisis “in our lifetimes.” Yellen’s statement should send shivers down our spines, as there are few more reliable signals of an impending recession, or worse, than when so-called "experts" proclaim that we are in an era of unending prosperity.

Myth-Busters: Government Healthcare Is Ready For Hospice

Politicians and politically-connected corporations abhor the free market. In healthcare specifically, this duo has created a nightmare. It began decades ago, and as the "regulations" and subsidies piled up, so have our bills and wait times for receiving care. Government Healthcare is ready for hospice. Ron Paul points the way back to the free market on today's Myth-Busters!

Missouri Making It Easier To Get A Job ... Lowering The Minimum Wage from $10 to $7.70

By Chris Rossini

The state of Missouri is showing us once again that supply and demand always wins in the end. Whenever government intrudes into private contracts, it distorts economic reality.

When prices rise (for anything) people buy less.

Wages are a price.

If government artificially raises that price, employers will buy less. It's very simple, yet very hard for many people to accept.

Daily Caller reports:

As rallies across the country have demanded an increase in the minimum wage to $15 per ho...
