The Fed & The Big Spenders: Teammates or Rivals?

The Fed's raising of interest rates has big spenders in the government upset. Many years of near 0% rates have created the biggest bubble in history. The government and the people are saddled with historic debts. Of course, the big spenders want The Fed to crank the printing presses back up. This is the fate of central planning and attempting to control the economy. It cannot be done. Sound money and free markets are the only way out of this mess. Watch Here

Why Is Peter Hotez Afraid To Debate RFK, Jr.?

When Covid fanatic Dr. Peter Hotez went on Joe Rogan's show last week to trash-talk Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. as an anti-vaxxer kook, he may not have expected what would happen next: Rogan gave him the opportunity to put his knowledge up against RFK, with $100K going to the charity of Hotez's choice. Since then the pot has grown to $1.5 million, but Hotez continues to slink away from the opportunity. Why? Also today - most view the Trump indictment as political. Putin proves another claim to be bog...

We Need a Peace President

By Ron Paul

Most people agree that we are closer to nuclear war than at any time since the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis. Some would even argue that we are closer now than we were in those fateful days, when Soviet missiles in Cuba almost triggered a nuclear war between the US and the USSR.

A Life Sentence For Donald Trump?

As former President Donald faces arraignment today, the charges against him keep piling up. If convicted of all charges, he faces 400 years in prison. But what may be even more concerning to Trump and his supporters is the fact - pointed out by Constitutional Law Professor Jonathan Turley - that even one single conviction for Trump means effectively a life sentence in prison.
