  The Great Ukraine Robbery is Not Over Yet 📢 May 7  - The ink was barely dry on President Biden’s signature transferring another $61 billion to the black hole called Ukraine, when the mainstream media broke the news that this was not the parting shot in a failed US policy. The elites have no intention of shutting down this gravy train, which transports wealth from the middle and working class to the wealthy and connected class. Reuters wrote right after the aid bill was passed that, “Ukraine’s $61 billion lifeline is not enough.” Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell went on the Sunday shows after the bill was passed to say that $61 billion is “not a whole lot of money for us…” Well, that’s easy for him to say – after all it’s always easier to spend someone else’s money! Ukraine’s foreign minister,  Dmytro  Kuleba, was far from grateful for the $170 billion we have shipped thus far to his country. In an interview with Foreign Policy magazine as the aid packag...

TikTok Hypocrisy Apr 29  - President Biden’s campaign will continue using the popular social media site TikTok even though the president supported a provision in the military aid bill he recently signed forcing TikTok’s parent company ByteDance to sell TikTok within 270 days. If ByteDance does not sell TikTok within the required time, TikTok will be banned in the USA. Biden’s continued use of TikTok to reach the approximately 150 million American TikTok users, is not the only example of hypocrisy from politicians who support the TikTok ban. The TikTok ban was driven by claims that, because ByteDance is a Chinese company, TikTok is controlled by the Chinese government and, thus. is helping the Chinese government collect data on American citizens. However, the only tie ByteDance has to the Chinese government is via a Chinese government controlled company that owns a small amount of stock in a separate ByteDance op...

Biden’s ‘Nighttime in America’ State of the Union   Mar 11  - Last week President Biden delivered a dark and angry speech meant to convince the low percentage of Americans who still feel positive about his presidency that everything is fine and will only get better if he is re-elected for a second term. Unfortunately we have come a long way from the optimism of a Ronald Reagan, who won a second term partially on the popularity of his “Morning in America” campaign commercials. Reagan was far from a perfect president, but it was that sense of optimism in otherwise difficult times that resulted in a record re-election victory. Biden’s speech, by contrast, was dark and angry, attacking not only his political opponents but even seeming to threaten the Supreme Court! As constitutional law professor Jonathan Turley observed recently, “In some ways, the State of the Union speech may have died when former Speaker Nancy Pelosi ripped up the address of former President Donald Trump… Whil...

Ragtag Houthi militias own the Red Sea Ron Paul on America's 'Credibility' Gap Dear Friends : I know one good writer for the American Greatness publication - Julie Kelly who writes on the injustice of the January 6th persecutions - but even though I get their regular updates in my email box I never open them up. It seems like more or less just another of the "conservative" outlets that churn out highly political and politicized fodder - with plenty of "outrage stories" -  not very well thought-out on pages heavily laden with annoying ads. Again, I could be wrong. But one recent headline from my in-box caught my attention so I opened it up: " Lack of Credibility Places U.S. Deterrence Under Great Strain ." In the piece - predictably - the authors open with the statement, "American national security and the security of many of our allies depend upon the ability of the U.S. to deter aggression." The presumption already in the piece is la...

The 'Tripwire' Tripwire Tripped in Syria - Now What? Dear Friends : Early Sunday morning, local time, a drone successfully struck a US military facility on the Iraq/Syria/Jordan border. Three US servicemembers were killed and several dozen were injured.  The US Central Command  claims  that the attack hit a facility inside Jordan, but Jordan and the "Iraqi Resistance," which took credit for the attack, say the US facility was  inside Syria's border . Why does it matter? Jordan is a US ally and as such American troops stationed on its territory - while in our opinion extremely unwise - are not illegally occupying foreign soil. However, if as is likely this facility was inside the  Syrian  border it means US troops illegally occupying Syrian territory were hit. In other words a foreign occupying force was attacked by people defending their homeland. That's a very different story and one that Washington's warmongers would rather Americans back home not po...

Last Chance Get Ron Paul's Latest Book! We Must Demand Justice for the January 6th Protestors!   Nov 20   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 conditions – many in solitary confinement. A Congressional Committee was set up under then-Speaker Nancy Pelosi to “get to the bottom” of the “Trump-led insurrection.” It did not include a single Representative nominated by the opposition Republican Party, but rather two “Republicans” – Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger – who could be relied on by Pelosi and the Democrats to toe the line. In short, the w...

Will a New House Speaker Solve Our Problems?   Oct 9  - Last week we witnessed a dramatic, historical first: A Speaker of the US House of Representatives was removed from that position by a vote from Members of that body. US Rep. Matt Gaetz was able to gather enough Republicans dissatisfied with the leadership of then-Speaker Kevin McCarthy to send him packing. What was the last straw? According to Gaetz, it was McCarthy’s secret deal with President Biden and the Democrats to bring up another huge funding package for Ukraine separately if they agreed to support a bill to keep the government open without Ukraine money in it. Gaetz and his allies were angry that they were kept in the dark about the deal and in the end it only took eight Republican rebels to end McCarthy’s eight months in the Chair. Several thoughtful Members, including my friend Thomas Massie, made convincing arguments ...

A New Covid ‘Variant’…Just in Time for Election Season!   Aug 29  - Just four and a half months since President Biden declared an end to the Covid “emergency,” the media is suddenly full of stories about the return of Covid. This time a new “variant” is being rolled out and the media, in collusion with big Pharma and the fear-industrial complex, are churning out stories about how forced masking is making a comeback. Also, the “unvaccinated” are again to be denied basic human rights in the name of fighting a virus that the vaccine demonstrably does not protect against. In short, they are desperately trying to revive the tyranny, insanity, and utter irrationality of the two-year Covid scare. And they are pretending none of us remembers how they destroyed society with their lockdowns, mask mandates, and vaccine mandates. They are ho...
