Ron Paul Liberty Report

Is this a good move or a bad move? Also: Huckabee to Israel? And make way for DOGE. Please support the Ron Paul Liberty Report: https://ronpaulinstitute.org/donate/

Yesterday was a bad day for those who endorse "America first" in our foreign policy. With reported Trump appointments of neocons Elise Stefanik (UN Ambassador), Mike Waltz (National Security Advisor), and...Marco Rubio (Secretary of State), many who hoped that Trump 2.0 would be different than Trump 1.0 are feeling dejected and betrayed. Is there any hope left? Also today: Iran strongly denied any plan to assassinate Trump - who's lying?

According to Politico, lawfare partisans in the Department of Justice are heading for the exits, terrified that they may be brought to justice over their four - or eight? - years of abusing their authority for political gain.

Weekly Update --- Make Money Free Again by Ron Paul Liberty Report

This week, Fed Chairman Jerome Powell was asked if he would step down if President Trump asked him to resign. Powell answered “No.” The law does not permit the president to fire the Fed chairman. Powell didn’t mention, however, that The Federal Reserve is unconstitutional to begin with. No power was ever granted to the federal government to create a monopoly bank that manipulates interest rates and counterfeits money. So the big issue is not who has more authority over the other; the president or the Fed chairman. The issue is that the Federal Reserve should not exist at all!

Despite the good foreign policy instincts apparent in President-elect Trump and his incoming VP JD Vance, there is a real danger that his appointments may have other ideas. Can he successfully navigate DC's dangerous waters? Also today...who keeps sending B-52s to the Middle East?

With the 2024 election in the bag, there is no shortage of surprises. Including the surprising campaign appearance of anti-Fed, anti-spending, and even anti-neocon sentiment. And record viewership of the Liberty Report. Also today...Politico warns of Trump seeking "revenge"...but is it really revenge or justice?

As it appears slightly more likely that Donald Trump will secure a second term as US President, the danger of neocons yet again infesting his cabinet and Administration is steadily increasing. Trump told Rogan what a mistake it was to hire John Bolton last time around...but is he in danger of making an even worse mistake with Mike Pompeo? And the other neocons champing at the bit to return to power?

Weekly Update --- With JD Vance and Elon Musk, Suddenly Ideas Are Back in this Campaign by Ron Paul Liberty Report

Amid the madness and superficiality of US presidential campaign politics, suddenly there is serious talk about the Federal Reserve and...cutting government spending! Ron Paul's social media blew up over the weekend after Elon Musk invited him to team up, grab a machete, and start slashing two trillion dollars from the budget. Will the enthusiasm hold? Is it suddenly "cool" to talk about monetary policy, out-of-control spending...and the Fed?

This week, JD Vance addressed the unjust and arbitrary nature of the Federal Reserve. Also this week, Elon Musk, in front of a Madison Square Garden crowd, mentioned cutting $2 Trillion from the federal government’s budget. The two topics are very much intertwined. After all, it is the Fed that enables the government to grow into the Leviathan that it is today. Members of Trump’s team are very much on the right track.

This is why we can't have nice things. Last week we reported on Raytheon being fined for overcharging and bribery; and this week we learn that Boeing is in on the game as well. Are we getting what we pay for with military spending? Also today: two potentially major wars bubbling under Biden's "leadership." Finally...the Ukraine loan scam.

Elon: 'Let's Cut Two TRILLION From The Budget!' by Ron Paul Liberty Report

Lindsey Graham, are furiously pressuring Kiev to draft younger and younger men to the front lines. They are fighting Russia down to the last Ukrainian.

Finally: Who would send a mother to prison for 3.5 years for peacefully protesting outside an abortion clinic? Biden/Harris!

Ukraine's "President" Vladimir Zelensky has unveiled his big "Victory Plan" and it's more like reheated leftovers: "Let us in NATO, give us more weapons, let us attack Russia." Is this the end for "Project Ukraine"? Also today: Biden gets "tough" wish Israel: "you have 30 days to stop starving the Palestinians!"

While the rest of the world is astonished over the SpaceX "Super Heavy" booster rocket caught by "chopsticks" over the weekend, California bureaucrats are unimpressed.

For 100+ years, the unconstitutional and immoral Federal Reserve has enabled the U.S. federal government to spend way beyond its means. The U.S. government is racing full steam into a financial crisis that even the Fed may not be able to extricate them from.

Political forces aligned with former president Donald Trump are screaming "foul!" over CBS News' 60 minutes program seemingly editing out the "word salad" answers given by Democratic Party presidential candidate Kamala Harris in her interview this week. Is it just good editing? Biased editing? Or fraud? Also today: "bake the da*m cake" baker kneecapped by a Colorado appeals court.

Weekly Update --- American Neocons Get Their Iran War As Congress Sleeps by Ron Paul Liberty Report

Hillary Clinton became the latest big-name Democrat to outright demand that the government crack down on speech, telling CNN that if they don't get a handle on Facebook, Twitter/X, TikTok and others they will "lose total control." But should they have total control? Also today: As Russia moves closer to capturing a major fortified strategic town, the US and EU keep pushing Ukraine to continue a bloody and losing battle.

It was a short strike, but it gave Americans a taste of what restraint of trade looks like, and how consumers and businesses respond to it. This should be kept in mind if Trump’s imposes tariffs. Tariffs are a tax on Americans (not China, or anyone else). Tariffs also restrain trade and drive up prices, while handing more of our earnings to DC. Don’t they take enough from us?

Homeland Security Director Mayorkis admitted that after spending hundreds of millions helping illegal migrants, FEMA has no money left to help American hurricane victims.

#AskRonPaul: Fighting Recession, Protecting the Constitution, Social Security, and Income Tax by Ron Paul Liberty Report

When an American makes the noble decision to join the armed forces, he or she usually does so under the belief of defending America. But alas, a century of endless (and many failed) wars have shown that their lives are needlessly put into grave danger in the defense of foreign nations! The lives of American soldiers are extremely valuable. They are not mercenaries or “rent-a-troops.” All American soldiers should be brought home to defend America only. And yet, they are still being recklessly deployed to no benefit of our nation.

Fed’s Rate Cut Helps Candidate Harris but Will Hurt President Harris (or Trump) by Ron Paul Liberty Report

For over 100 years, the U.S. government ‘tolerated’ freedom of speech because they virtually controlled the information that Americans received. Whether it be from the government-controlled schools, or from watching one of the handful of ‘licensed’ TV stations, all Americans consumed the same pre-packaged “narratives.” There was no threat to the government from Americans speaking freely, as long as the “narratives” were controlled. But that monopoly has been shattered with the Internet. Americans now choose their sources of information, and while lies will always exist, the American people actually have fighting chance to hear the truth for once! Under these circumstances, government is finding freedom of speech intolerable for their agendas.

Another $8 Billion to Ukraine. The very next day, another $8.7 billion to Israel. Sadly, the U.S. taxpayer is not even an afterthought in all of this. While American society descends further and further into economic and moral calamity, those who work hard are forced to watch their earnings literally go up in smoke. Working for a living has been replaced with working for a bankrupt empire.

As the body count in Gaza and Lebanon continues to rise, a new public opinion poll has found that a mere 24 percent of Americans surveyed support the continuation of unconditional military and other aid to Israel. Is the tide turning? Also today, more western schemes to rob Russia to fund Ukraine. Finally...you won't believe why the US sanctioned this former Georgian prime minister.

Ron Paul: 'Liberty Platform in Three Easy Steps'

You won't believe who's trying to sell this narrative!
