Trump Meets Putin - Who Has the Upper Hand?

A day before his historic meeting with Russian president Vladimir Putin, Donald Trump had strong words for Russia in his speech in Warsaw. Is it bluster? Or will he seek to put Putin in his place? And what of the voters attracted to his "let's get along with Russia" slogan?

Why Does North Korea Want Nuclear Weapons?

By Liberty Report Staff

Americans are never (ever) supposed to think about motives.

A never-ending carousel of bad people seek to hurt America, which is merely minding its own business, focused on defending America only, and following the U.S. Constitution to the letter.

Why would North Korea want nuclear weapons anyway?

You're not supposed to ask that question.

But, just in case you're curious, Jacob Hornberger writes at The Future of Freedom Foundation:

So why does North Korea want nuclear weapon...

Let South Korea Be South Korea

Yesterday's North Korea missile launch has heightened tensions with the US. China has warned of uncontrollable escalations if something is not done. President Trump is issuing his own warnings...to North Korea and China. How can this be resolved? We have an idea...

Republicans and Democrats Both Believe In Government Medicine

By Liberty Report Staff

When Obama was in office, Republicans voted 60 times for a straight repeal of Obamacare.

Once Republicans captured all three branches of government, they're no longer for repeal.

Republicans have been pulling this trick since FDR. Both parties are for maximum government control over our lives. The Democrats are just more honest about it.

3 Things to Remember on Independence Day

By Ryan McMaken

It's difficult to say what most Americans commemorate or celebrate on Independence Day nowadays. Many appear to focus on some vague notion of "America." Others even take to jingoism equating the United States government with the very notion of "freedom." 

Lost in all of this is the fact that the Declaration of Independence — the document we're supposed to remember today — is a document that promotes secession, rebellion, and what the British at the time regarded as treason.

Declaring Independence - A Novel Idea!

What did the Founders see as the role of government in our lives? What should we do with legislators who break their oath of office? Have we made progress since 1776? Where are the areas we can be hopeful? Ron Paul's July 4th thoughts...

We Must Declare Independence

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

As Independence Day comes around again we should spend a few moments between barbecue and fireworks to think about the meaning of independence. The colonists who rebelled against the British Crown were, among other things, unhappy about taxation. Yet, as economist Gary North points out, the total burden of British imperial taxation was about one-to-two percent of national income.

Some 241 years later, Washington claims more of ou...

Trump Appoints Himself Chicago Police Chief

President Trump has made good on his promise to send in more federal agents to crime-plagued Chicago. For now, he is sending in a new task force to track down illegal guns. Will he send in more? Will more armed federal agents solve Chicago's problem?

Trump's Tweets Are Smashing The Government Religion

By Chris Rossini

One challenge that advocates of liberty must always face is the reverence that so many American citizens have for politicians.

If politicians are viewed as a special breed of human being who should be appealed to for solving the world's problems, you can be sure that liberty and individual responsibility have been buried as a result.

We have to choose one or the other...Liberty or Power.

We can't have both.

Think of liberty vs. power as a see-saw. When one swings upward, the other...
