(Sales) Taxation is Theft

By Ron Paul

A group of House Republicans is supporting legislation that would replace federal income, payroll, estate, and gift taxes with a 30 percent national sales tax. The bill also eliminates the Internal Revenue Service, giving states the responsibility to collect the sales tax and send the revenue to DC.

This deputizing of states to act as federal tax collectors violates the principles of federalism, especially since the plan forces states that have chosen not to make their residents pay sa...

Government Spending Is The Problem! Abolish The IRS & The Fed!

The U.S. has the largest government spending problem of any government in history - over $31 trillion in debt (just for starters). Playing around with tax policy may work politically, but it will not solve the spending problem. Will America end the empire and bring the troops home? Will it curtail the massive welfare state for corporations & individuals? Will The Fed be shut down so that it can't print dollars and destroy their value? The spending problem will not be fixed if the answer to any o...

Behind Closed Doors, Pentagon Warns Congress Of Ukraine's Weakness

Although the narrative pushed by the US government and propped up by the mainstream media is that "Ukraine is winning," in a recent classified briefing to Congress the Pentagon is singing a very different tune. As the Biden Administration continues up the escalation escalator, shouldn't the American people hear what military experts really believe? Also today: Why F-16s? And...when a medical school goes "woke." Watch Here

Jerome Powell Doesn't Know What Interest Rates Should Be (And Neither Does Elizabeth Warren)

By Chris Rossini

Another day of central economic planning is upon us, and the Federal Reserve has raised interest rates once again. In other words - more price fixing.

Senator Elizabeth Warren was not happy with the decision: What a situation.

Elizabeth Warren - who has no idea what interest rates should be - is criticizing Jerome Powell - who also has no idea what interest rates should be!

This is what happens when the people accept price fixing and government central planning. It's ...

Biden Announces More Billions To Ukraine As Americans Sour On War

Yesterday the Biden Administration announced yet another military aid package to Ukraine including yet more powerful weapons. This comes as a new PEW Poll shows that Americans increasingly believe that the US is doing too much to help Ukraine. Also today: The US government investigates its massive aid transfers to Ukraine and finds no misuse of funds. Shocker! Watch Here

Why Is Washington So Openly Releasing Details Of Armored Vehicle Shipment To Ukraine?

A US Pentagon agency has released photos and details of the loading and shipment of Bradley Fighting Vehicles to Ukraine for the purpose of fighting Russia. While obviously such shipments can be tracked by governments, including by Russia, does it seem odd that the Biden Administration seems to almost be bragging about the long journey through international waters? Also today, a sad time for the once-neutral Swiss. Finally: a Med Student speaks out against his profession's response to Covid. Watc...

Who Was Really Behind The 'Russian Disinformation' Hoax?

The latest "Twitter Files" release was a bombshell, detailing how a group of neocons got together to falsify information about "Russian disinformation" in 2016 to demonize Donald Trump and help Hillary Clinton. It turns out there was election interference...but it wasn't the Russians it was the neocons. Also today: warhawks exaggerating the China threat. Finally...a good news story from Gallup. Watch Here

The Real Disinformation Was The ‘Russia Disinformation’ Hoax

By Ron Paul

Thanks to the latest release of the “Twitter Files,” we now know without a doubt that the entire “Russia disinformation” racket was a massive disinformation campaign to undermine US elections and perhaps even push “regime change” inside the United States after Donald Trump was elected president in 2016.

Here is some background. In November, 2016, just after the election, the Washington Post published an article titled, “Russian propaganda effort helped spread ‘fake news’ during electio...

Why Does Our Government Lie About Inflation?

If government lies about Covid and the vaccines, lies about the reasons for wars and how the wars are going, do you think it tells the truth about inflation? If government almost completely ignores the Constitution (which is the 'Law of the Land' that they all swear to obey) are surprised that your cost of living is skyrocketing way beyond what the government claims? You shouldn't be. Watch Here

Zelensky: 'Thanks For The Tanks...Now GIMME Missiles And F-16s!'

Less than a day after the US and Germany agreed to give heavy tanks, Ukraine's president Zelensky again upped the stakes, demanding F-16s and long-range missiles that can strike deep inside Russia. US officials remain confident that Russia will not respond to the steady escalation. What if they're wrong? Also today: China goes to Africa with briefcases instead of bombs. Finally...another Project Veritas sting shows the truth about Pfizer. Watch Here
