Why We Must Come Together

One of the greatest influences on both my personal philosophy and the strategy of how to promote it was Leonard Read, the founder of the Foundation for Economic Education (FEE). Read founded FEE in 1946, just as WWII…

Weaponization of Politics, an American Tradition

President Donald Trump is hardly the first political figure who has had the legal and policy processes weaponized against him. In fact, there is a long and shameful history of US politicians and bureaucrats weaponizing governmental powers against…

We Need a Peace President

When the smoke finally clears, President Biden’s Ukraine debacle will go down – along with Afghanistan and Iraq – as one of the greatest foreign policy disasters in US history. Hundreds of thousands have been killed on both…

Gun Confiscation Debate Ignores the Real Problems

Editor’s Note:  I changed “gun control” as the title Ron Paul used to “gun confiscation” because that is really what any legislation produced by the tryants who try to be little gods and write their own laws in…

NATO ‘s Great New Idea: ‘Let’s Start A War With China!’

NATO’s post-Cold War history is that of an organization far past its “sell-by” date. Desperate for a mission after the end of the Warsaw Pact, NATO in the late 1990s decided that it would become the muscle behind…

Congress Ignores Real Debt Ceiling Drama
