We Must Demand Justice for the January 6th Protestors!

By Ron Paul

​New US House Speaker Mike Johnson struck a blow for liberty and justice last week when he finally authorized the release of all the tapes from the January 6, 2021 “insurrection.” We were told by no less than President Biden himself that this was the “worst attack on our democracy since the Civil War.”

The FBI was unleashed by the Biden Administration to hunt down hundreds of participants in this “insurrection” and lock them up in the gulag where they awaited trial in torturous conditi...

Jan. 6 Tapes Released -- Sorry, No Insurrection

It's not called the "Empire of Lies" for nothing. Deception is the oxygen of empire. 44,000+ hours of January 6th footage has been released, and it's quite obvious as to why they weren't released in the first place.

Also today, Javier Milei was elected in Argentina. Is change coming to the South American nation? Watch Here

Unpayable Debts, Unwinnable Wars -- Is America Heading For A Crack-Up Boom?

History is filled with examples of failed attempts to 'conquer the world.' Americans seceded from the greatest military power that the world had ever seen, in the British Empire. America would be different. It would be the 'land of the free.' And for a while, it was different. Never have so many individuals had so much freedom, and never was so much prosperity created by a single nation. 

But alas, the ideas of 'conquering the world,' took over and the downward slide began. As the dustbin of fail...

Biden's Poor Diplomacy With China

President Biden exhibited poor diplomacy (again); this time by calling Chinese President Xi a "dictator," while Xi was still here in the U.S.! Whether Xi is or isn't a "dictator" really has nothing to do with Americans. That's an issue for the Chinese citizens to work out for themselves. It's their government, not ours.

America's foreign policy should be based on the policy of the Founders of our nation: "Peace, commerce and honest friendship with all nations; entangling alliances with none." We ...

Idiocracy? US Senator Challenges Witness To Fight During Hearing!

Finally, the fascism of corporate/government collusion on censorship continues. Watch Here

No Janet, We Cannot Afford More Wars

By Ron Paul

Bloomberg Intelligence recently released an analysis showing that a year of interest payments on the national debt now exceeds one trillion dollars. This should have been a wake-up call to Congress and the Biden administration, but it was largely ignored. The political and financial elites’ continued failure to acknowledge the dangers posed by the ever-growing national debt is exemplified by Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen’s comment that America can, and must, fund both the Ukraine wa...

Miracle! San Francisco Streets Are Feces-Free For China Leader's Visit!

While the once-beautiful San Francisco normally looks like an open air sewer and drug encampment, for the upcoming Asia-Pacific summit meeting featuring China's Xi Jinping city officials have rolled out the street cleaners to save the embarrassment. Once the foreign leaders are gone...it'll be back to poo and hypodermics! Also today: Venezuelan refugees opt to return to Venezuela after spending time in Chicago. Finally, simmering tensions in Syria and Iraq - is a blow up on the way? Watch Here

Fiat Dollar Milestone: U.S. Government Interest Payments Hit $1 Trillion!

Debt literally takes down empires. The U.S. government was never meant to be a militarized empire, since freedom and empire are mutually exclusive. But alas, the decisions to become an empire were made before any of us were born. In typical fashion, the U.S. government has overextended itself militarily around the world, engaging in endless wars. Those wars come at a severe cost, as our standard of living at home deteriorates. Debts cannot be endless. Ultimately, the interest payments will overw...

He's BAAACK! The Ghost Of John McCain Haunts GOP Debate

All of a sudden the Republican Party has returned to its 2002, neocon-dominated warmongering. The pseudo-debate last night signaled the return of the neocons and their disastrous warfare-welfare philosophy. Also today: Biden faces internal revolt over his Gaza policy as US troops hit harder and harder in Syria. Watch Here
