We Spent a Billion Dollars Fighting the Houthis…and Lost

By Ron Paul

Why does it seem the Pentagon is far better at spending money than actually putting together a successful operation? The failed “Operation Prosperity Guardian” and the disastrous floating Gaza pier are but two recent examples of enormously expensive initiatives that, though they no-doubt enriched military contractors, were incapable of meeting their stated goals.

To great fanfare, last December the Pentagon announced the launch of Operation Prosperity Guardian, a joint US/UK military o...

GOP Moves To Defund Ukraine 'Enemies List' NGO - More Political Theater?

Faced with broad outrage after a US government-linked Ukrainian NGO published an "enemies list" containing the names of several Members and Senators, the US House GOP moved yesterday to ban any further funding to the NGO.

Anti-Liberty Conservatives Want More Theft

By Ron Paul

American Compass, a think tank promoting a conservatism lacking even a rhetorical commitment to free markets, recently called for Republicans to support tax increases. The organization claims a GOP embrace of higher taxes will enable the uniparty’s left (Democratic) and right (Republican) wings to create a deficit reduction plan balancing tax increase with spending cuts.

American Compass is correct that both parties need to prioritize deficit reduction. The 35 trillion dollars (and ris...

"NO!" ... To A Suicidal War With Russia

When Americans look outward, they don't see foreign military bases circling the nation. No occupying troops. No one is sending missiles to Mexico or Canada that can be fired into U.S. territory. And yet, America’s foreign policy is the exact opposite. Endless wars with 800+ military bases peppered all over the world, surrounding major nuclear powers like Russia and China. The U.S. sends Ukraine weapons to be fired into Russian territory! Pushed too far, Russia is now sending warships and an unar...
