Education System Broken: Let’s Try ‘Ed-Exit’

By Ron Paul

Maryland Governor Larry Hogan recently signed an executive order forbidding Maryland public schools from beginning classes before Labor Day. Governor Hogan’s executive order benefits businesses in Maryland’s coastal areas that lose school-aged summer employees and business from Maryland families when schools start in August. However, as Governor Hogan’s critics have pointed out, some Maryland school districts, as well as Maryland schoolchildren, benefit from an earlier start...

Doug Casey’s Two Days with the Real and Wannabe Elite

By Doug Casey

Recently I made a few comments about the world’s self-identified “elite”, and also about the migrants that are plaguing Europe.

Happily, I was able to do some one-stop shopping on both of these topics when I was in New York to attend a very elitist and Globalist conference. I’m not going to name it because its organizers/sponsors are business partners of mine. And since they spent multimillions putting it together, and I pretty much despised their invitees, I’m not about to...

Did Mike Pence Get What He Deserved At The Hamilton Musical?

By Thomas DiLorenzo

The following is an excerpt from LewRockwell.com

Governor Pence “got what he deserved,” says Gary North,for paying $1700 for his wife and himself to attend the silly performance of “rappers” spouting nonsense and lies about Alexander Hamilton in front of a bunch of angry and ill-mannered New York leftists. One hopes that the Trump administration will not waste tax dollars in such a foolish manner.

But Governor Pence’s bigger mistake was to somehow believe that Alexander Hamil...

REVEALED: The Real Fake News List

By Chris Rossini

We've seen the make-shift "fake news" list created by aleftist feminist professor. Well, another fake news list has been revealed and this one holds a lot more water.

This list contains the culprits who told us that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction and lied us into multiple bogus wars.These are the news sources that told us "if you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor." They told us that Hillary Clinton had a 98% of winning the election. They tell us in a never-ending...

President-Elect Trump: Don't Listen To "Big Government Bannon"

By Chris Rossini

Trump's much talked about advisor Steve Bannon was interviewed byThe Hollywood Reporter. Let's just say giving him the moniker "Big Government Bannon" would be an understatement.If Hillary Clinton were to say what Bannon said, her opponents would (rightly) have a conniption!

The problem in America is that we're all (besides the crony few) being crushed by a gargantuan federal state. At this stage in the game, to suggest that government expand in any way whatsoever means t...

By Chris Rossini

The Obama administration added 527 pages worth of new rules and regulations TODAY! That's a new single day record.

President Obama owns seven of the ten highest ever federal register page counts.

This is th...

The Swamp's Not Going To Be Drained All That Well

By Ron Paul

I discuss the Trump Transition on Fox Business with Kennedy:

Memo To Congress: Bring Back Earmarks!

Six years after then-Speaker Boehner did away with earmarks -- where Members direct budget dollars to specific projects -- they are suddenly back in the news. Several Members are trying to bring them back, but Speaker Ryan is resisting. Earmarks are demonized but they are far from the real problem. Watch The Liberty Report LIVE

War on Cash intensifies: Citibank to stop accepting cash at some branches

By Simon Black

Less than a week after India’s surprise move to scrap its highest denomination cash notes, another front in the War on Cash has intensified down under in Australia.

Yesterday, banking giant UBS proposed that eliminating Australia’s $100 and $50 bills would be “good for the economy and good for the banks.”

(How convenient that a bank would propose something that’s good for banks!)

This isn’t the first time that the financial establishment has pushed for a cashless society in A...
