Did You Fall For Trump's Latest Trick?

By Chris Rossini

Libertarians are like people who go to a magic show, only to point out that the magician really didn't cut the girl in half, and really didn't make the tiger disappear.

It's not an easy job because everyone else at the show wants to believe what they see:

-"What do you mean the Patriot Act has nothing to do with Patriotism?"
-"What do you mean they don't hate us for our freedom?" 
-"What do you mean the minimum wage ravages the poor and low-skilled?"

It's not an easy job spreading...

Madison Was Right About War

By Jacob G. Hornberger

Given that so many Americans continue to express gratitude to the troops for their forever service in Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Yemen, Syria, and elsewhere, it would be worthwhile to revisit the immortal words of James Madison, the father of the U.S. Constitution:

Of all the enemies to public liberty war is, perhaps, the most to be dreaded, because it comprises and develops the germ of every other. War is the parent of armies; from these proceed debts and taxes; and armie...

Bring U.S. Troops Home From Somalia

By Liberty Report Staff

Sorrowful news comes from yet another area of the world where the U.S. has no business having troops stationed there. A U.S. Navy Seal has been killed in Somalia, marking the first death there since the 1993 'Black Hawk Down' incident when two Black Hawk helicopters were shot down and bodies of Americans were dragged through the streets.

Unfortunately, the U.S. has been meddling in Somalia for years now. Since 2007, the U.S. has killed at least 500 people via drone...

Trumpcare and Obamacare are Just Different Versions of the Same Deep State Healthcare Plan

By Robert Wenzel

I have already posted some details of what is in, at this point, the Trump version of the American Health Care Act.

That is, what is in the bill before the Senate runs it through its salami cutter. It will change and change dramatically from its current version after Deep State healthcare operatives push, and push even more, to make sure their clauses and paragraphs get into the Senate version. The devil, or in this case, the crony anti-consumerism is in the details.

Of co...

The Two-Party System Is Still Working Its Magic

By Liberty Report Staff

Think back to when President George W. Bush was conducting his wars. Democrats were rallying in the streets. It was anti-war fever!

Obama wins and Bush was literally booed at the new President's inauguration. Obama promised to end the wars with his Nobel Peace Prize, and then he proceeded to bomb 7 foreign nations.

But here's the interesting part --- Democrats were silent. No anti-war protests.

What a fascinating phenomenon. But it is not purely a Democratic phenomen...

Myth-Busters: Pre-emptive War Is A Pandora's Box

Entangling Alliances ... "Red Lines" ... "Fighting them there instead of here" ... The military-industrial-complex has come up with every excuse in the book to keep their perpetual wars going. Ron Paul talks about the Empire's playbook, today on Myth-Busters!

Why Do North Koreans Hate The American Government?

By Liberty Report Staff

Did you stop for a second and ask yourself why the North Koreans hate the American government?

Could it (maybe) be that the North Koreans hate the American government's foreign policy?

The Intercept has provided some startling facts about America's terrible unconstitutional entry into a foreign Civil War on the other side of the globe in 1950:

How many Americans, for example, are aware of the fact that U.S. planes dropped on the Korean peninsula more bombs — 635,000...

Obamacare? ... Trumpcare? ... Get Rid Of It All

By Chris Rossini

Ever since the U.S. government began to sink its claws into the medical industry a good 50 or so years ago, it has turned the entire field into a complete nightmare. This is par for the course whenever government invades an industry.

Trying to reform this Frankenstein with either Obamacare, or Trumpcare, will solve nothing. It would be like Gorbachev trying to reform the Soviet Union.

Impossible!

The problem is structural. Tinkering with this or that will just waste more t...

Syria Safe Zones Declared: Will The Killing Finally End?

Early today, Russia, Iran, and Turkey signed an agreement to establish "de-escalation" zones at four locations in Syria. The plan is supposed to separate the "moderate" rebels from the extremists and allow citizens to receive humanitarian aid. What will the US do?

Whistleblowers Are The Greatest Enemies To The Deep State

By Ron Paul

While the government may not own companies like Google and other social media firms, they do have control over them.

Social media firms collect information on us, and government can claim that it's not spying on us. However, the government can just go and get this information from the social media companies.

Can we then go after the social media companies for selling out to the government?

Nope.

Congress has exempted them from all liability.

I discuss below:
