Ron Paul Liberty Report

While the second Trump Administration was billed as a clean break from the neocons who have dominated Republican (and Democrat) politics for decades (including Trump 1.0), unfortunately we are steadily seeing neocons and especially neocon policies creeping back into place like a bad virus...

Weekly Update --- Standing at the Edge of the Iran War Cliff by Ron Paul Liberty Report

Homeland Security chief Kristi Noem announced Friday that the the notorious PATRIOT Act-era REAL ID scheme would go into effect at the end of the month. REAL ID is one of the greatest threats to Americans' civil liberties in decades. Also today: The State Department knew before arresting a foreign Tufts student that she was not involved in terrorist or antisemitic activities. So why did they do it?

What are the economic conditions really like under President Donald Trump? Join us for an in-depth discussion with Phillip Patrick, a seasoned economic expert, as we break down the key policies, market movements, and financial trends of the Trump administration. From job growth and GDP to inflation and trade, we cover it all.

As the House passed its budget resolution by a razor thin margin, all eyes are now on the Senate, which has promised to cut an additional $1.5 trillion before sending it back to the House for a final vote. Does anyone believe it? Also today, yet another Trump threat on Iran as a new poll shows the majority of Americans oppose Israel.

The Chinese government has vowed to not back down in the face of President Trump's ratcheting up of tariffs on a top US trading partner. With tariffs of 104 percent and 84 percent respectively, how far will this spat between the US and China go...and what can consumers expect? Also today, Netanyahu urges Trump to blow up all of Iran's nuclear facilities...it will be easy he claims.

President Trump casually mentioned that the U.S. will have its first TRILLION dollar military budget. This does not, in any sense, sound like a government looking to cut waste, fraud and abuse. We have been bankrupted (economically, and more importantly, morally) by a century of endless wars. The federal debt continues to rise, even with total Republican control. This is all bad news for our nation.

Weekly Update --- Liberation or Obliteration? by Ron Paul Liberty Report

Americans voted for lower inflation and a peace president, yet just months into Trump 2.0 we are seeing a tariff plan that is rocking world markets and an expanding - but losing - war on Yemen with the Administration about an inch away from starting yet another war, this time with Iran. What happened?

America has massive problems, which can be summed up in two words -- overwhelming government. Despite some impressive exposures from DOGE, our chief problem is being exacerbated. Government spending is increasing, government debt is increasing, President Trump threatens new wars, and now we're in the midst of a trade war. The troops are not coming home, the 1,000 bases are not being closed, and the "foreign aid," is not being eliminated. In order to get rid of overwhelming government, all of these variables have to move in the opposite direction.

President Trump unveiled his new tariff policy yesterday, sending markets reeling. Meanwhile, it appears his administration is gearing up for a real war on Iran. Is the honeymoon over?

Voters in Wisconsin have agreed to a state constitutional amendment requiring a photo ID to cast a ballot, strengthening existing law. Also today, bipartisan team of Senators send letter to Trump on Yemen bombing.

Ron Paul Institute Conference - Lake Jackson, TX - Fmr. Rep. John J. Duncan, Jr. by Ron Paul Liberty Report

President Trump has gutted the US government funded US Institute of Peace after a scuffle between staff members and Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency, making it more likely that the misnamed government funded "NGO" will follow USAID into the dustbin of history. Also today, a US judge has blocked Trump from firing CIA's DEI staff.

Ron Paul Institute Conference - Lake Jackson, TX - Jeff Deist by Ron Paul Liberty Report

That didn't take long. A candidate elected to end current wars and avoid new ones, Donald Trump as president has significantly escalated the war on Yemen and is now threatening to attack Iran. He is also threatening Russia (again) with punitive tariffs. What is it about the White House that turns every resident into a warmonger?
