The Republicans are back...and they are in the mood to spend! Last night's vote on the smoke and mirrors budget bill proves that Congress is absolutely unserious about cutting spending in any meaningful way. Also today: new poll shows Americans WANT the government to be cut!Ron Paul Liberty Report

Back in early 2020 when Congress rushed to pass trillions in "emergency" COVID spending, US Rep. Thomas Massie warned that it would be the biggest wealth transfer from the middle class to the elites in history. As DOGE is finding out, Massie was absolutely right. Trillions spent to the benefit of the political classes and crumbs dropping from the t…

It’s been said that “He who has the gold, makes the rules.” That never applied more to the United States than after WWII. At that time, Ft.

President Trump likes to keep everyone on their toes. He has repeatedly proven to say things that (in the end) were perhaps never meant to be taken seriously in the first place. Sometimes the president's statements contain terrible ideas, like the U.S. owning Gaza. But at other times, his statements are pretty incredible, like the U.S. cutting mili…

And all of a sudden...the end began. President Trump holds a 90 minute phone call with his Russian counterpart, Vladimir Putin, agreeing to soon hold a summit of the two leaders.

Weekly Update --- Audit USAID…Then Shut it Down! by Ron Paul Liberty ReportRon Paul Liberty Report

President Trump made it clear during his presidential campaign that tariffs will be a part of his policy-making. He has followed through on that. Tariffs are risky.

For four years the mainstream media and the Democratic Party (along with some Republicans) have pushed the narrative that on Jan. 6th, 2021, a coup d'etat was attempted against "our democracy."

It’s not a good look when Republicans and Democrats “negotiate” together and present an unreadable 1,500 page bill.

The American people voted to go in the other direction. Why doesn…
