Trump's Super Fake Syria News: More US Attacks Expected

Trump's White House released a bizarre statement last night that it believed Syrian president Assad was preparing "another" gas attack against his civilians. The White House warned that a US attack on Assad would ensue. The State Department, Pentagon, CENTCOM, etc., apparently have no idea what Trump's talking about. Is Trump's fake news about to get us into war with Russia?

Republicans Still Pushing False Flags In Syria And Cold War With Russia

A new Seymour Hersh article is out showing that the US knew there was no Assad chemical attack in April, but President Trump decided to bomb anyway. Republicans cannot let go of "regime change" for Syria and new Cold War with Russia -- even as the Democrats are starting to back away. Will the mainstream media stick with the narrative as well? Or is it all about to come crashing down?

Republican Healthcare Plan Fails the ‘Jimmy Kimmel Test’

Click Play to hear Ron Paul deliver his Weekly UpdateBy Ron Paul

This week the Senate Republican leadership unveiled its Obamacare replacement plan. Like its House counterpart, the misnamed Senate plan retains most of Obamacare’s core features.

Both the House and Senate plans allow states to obtain waivers providing relief from some Obamacare mandates, although the waivers in both bills are too restrictive to be of much value. For example, the Senate's bill does not allow states to have waived...

Government Completely Destroyed Health Insurance...And It's Going To Continue Doing So

By Liberty Report Staff

America's health insurance crisis didn't develop overnight. We're now reaping what has been sown from many decades of government intrusion.

Government, of course, intruded with the aid and applause of politically-connected corporations and the voting public.

Politically-connected corporations despise competition and free markets just as much as the politicians do. So-called "government regulations" are an easy way to get rich ... It's much easier than having to compete in...

Tyranny at Home to Fight Tyranny Abroad

By Jacob G. Hornberger

President Trump has reminded us of how the U.S. government destroyed the liberty of the American people in the name of fighting tyranny abroad. Exercising the same dictatorial method that his predecessors have employed — executive decrees — he has made it illegal again for most Americans to travel to Cuba and spend money there.

Trump’s justification? The communist regime in Cuba is tyrannical and engages in human-rights abuses.

Think about that for a moment: A foreign regi...

Reject The GOP's Obamacare 2.0

By Ron Paul

Like their colleagues in the House, the Senate Republican leadership has squandered an opportunity to repeal Obamacare and replace it with true free-market health care. Instead, they have unveiled a bill that retains Obamacare's core mandates. Even the planned state waivers do not provide relief from the most destructive mandates -- "guaranteed issues" and "community rating" -- which are nothing more than price controls.

The GOP plan even includes a version of Obamacare's individual...

Myth-Busters: America's Moral Hazard Disorder

Once it's generally accepted that the role of government is to remove risks and hazards from our lives, its policies actually encourage more reckless risk taking and something called "moral hazard." Government "insurance," in its many forms, only ensures more economic calamity.

Crony Casinos Want To Outlaw Online Competition

By Ron Paul

Congress has no authority to outlaw online gaming and nullify the laws in the states that have legalized online gaming. Criminalizing online gaming gives the surveillance state one more excuse to spy on our online activities and ensures that online gaming will be controlled by criminals.

The Restoration of America's Wireless Act (RAWA) represents not only a textbook example of the "Bootleggers and Baptists" coalition but the worst type of crony capitalism. It is an open secret that...
