Cold War 2.0 Heats Up

By Ron Paul

Last week the nuclear rhetoric between the US and Russia made some of us feel like we were transported back to 1962. Back then, Soviet moves to place nuclear-capable missiles 90 miles off our coast in Cuba led to the greatest crisis of the Cold War. The United States and its president, John F. Kennedy, could not tolerate such weapons placed by a hostile power on its doorstep and the world only knew years later how close we were to nuclear war.

Thankfully both Khrushchev and Kennedy bac...

Is Trump 2.0 Morphing Into Biden 2.0?

After a very promising start, at least with regard to Russia, President Trump appears to be heading down the Biden road to more confrontation and WWIII brinksmanship. On Israel he has shown himself to be anything but the peacemaker he promised to be, forcefully rejecting any Congressional efforts to slow down weapons transfers to an Israel that is using said weapons largely against civilian populations in Gaza. Have the neocons completely gotten their hooks into Trump? Watch Here

MAGA Turns On Trump Over Gaza

New poll numbers go from bad to worse for President Trump, as his MAGA base - who signed on for "no more wars" and "America First" - are increasingly disappointed watching the nightmare unfolding in Gaza, while Trump continues to back Netanyahu's slaughter. Conservatives inside and outside Congress are increasingly vocal over the harm being done by Trump's continued support of Israeli actions.

The Bizarre 'Post-Truth' US/EU Trade Deal

It was a bizarre display: President Trump read the terms of surrender to EU Commission President Ursula Von der Leyen. One of those terms was for the Europeans to purchase a quarter of a trillion dollars worth of very expensive US LNG each year. The other terms are equally impossible. Are we in a post-reality society? Watch Here

Nobody for Fed Chairman

By Ron Paul

​President Trump has recently suggested that, unless Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell cuts interest rates, the president might revert to his The Apprentice days and tell Powell, “you’re fired.”

President Trump backtracked on firing Powell after the president’s comments caused stock markets to fall. However, it is almost certain that President Trump will not reappoint Powell when Powell’s term ends in May.

Media reports indicate the leading candidates to replace Powell include Trea...

Trump Blows Up At Putin: 'Stop Fighting In 10 Days...Or Else!'

Meeting with UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer in Scotland, President Trump announced his decision to scrap his 50 day deadline for an end to the Ukraine war and instead make it a 10 day deadline. But what will he do? Trash the US economy with 100 percent secondary sanctions on China and India? Green-light deep strikes into Russia - Biden-like - and bring us back to the brink of WW!!!? What's the plan? Watch Here

Trump Visits The Fed To Shakedown Powell

President Trump visited the Fed yesterday, seemingly to shakedown Jerome Powell for lower interest rates. Is this how interest rates should be derived in a so-called "capitalist" society? Two men, disagreeing over price fixing? That's the Soviet way of doing things. Also, is President Trump (who continues to run-up government spending and debt) really in the position to accuse the Fed of "cost overruns"? Watch Here

Is The Epstein Case A Monster Of Trump's Own Creation?

​The MAGA 2.0 movement in many ways draws its coherency from a demand to "release the Epstein list," with the assumption that the rich and powerful are engaged in nefarious activities. Now that the MAGA 2.0 supporters have been told by the Trump Administration that there aren't any files after all, a full blown rebellion continues to simmer inside the Trump camp. Can the president navigate this growing anger in his base? Watch Here

America’s Syrian Civil War

By Ron Paul

​As Syria descends into full-scale civil war, with more than a thousand people killed in just the last few days, it may be a good time to remember the phrase, “Assad must go.” That was the slogan the regime-changers rolled out some 14 years ago during the “Arab Spring” that was supposed to usher liberal democracies into power throughout the region.

From Tunisia to Egypt to Libya and on to Syria, the plan was to remake the Middle East according to the will of Washington’s “master planne...
