Will The Neocons 'Flynn' Jeff Sessions?

President Trump's Attorney General, Jeff Sessions, is under fire for what Democrats and neocons claim is a false statement during his confirmation hearing about contacts with Russian officials. Is this about perjury? The Russian threat? Or just political theater?

Enemy of the Year: Why Russia?

By Justin Raimondo

I once had an online conversation with a journalist whose name you would instantly recognize that started with a question for me: “Why Russia?” Why, this person wanted to know, are we witnessing a hate campaign aimed at Moscow, decades after the implosion of international communism and the breakup of the USSR?

I tried to give him a coherent and comprehensive answer, but Twitter is not conducive to in-depth discussions of that sort, and so I filed it away as a question to be a...

First They Came For The Mainstream Media...

By Chris Rossini

On Military and Spending, It’s Trump Versus Trump

By Ron Paul

It can be a challenge to follow the pronouncements of President Trump, as he often seems to change his position on any number of items from week to week, or from day to day, or even from minute to minute.
