    @RepThomasMassie Our government should not have ownership in private companies. There are so many specific problems with an arrangement like this, but fundamentally, this is not who we are as a country.

    Independent Political Report ^ | August 20, 2025 | Jordan Willow Evans
    Former Texas congressman and presidential candidate Ron Paul is celebrating his 90th birthday on Wednesday, August 20, with tributes arriving from across the liberty movement. Earlier this month, around 1,000 supporters gathered in Clute to commemorate the occasion. According to the Durango Herald, supporters previously gathered at Brazosport College’s Dow Academic Center on August 9, including liberty activists, former staff, elected officials, and other figures connected to Paul’s long career in politics. The event was organized by Jeff Frazee of Young Americans for Liberty, the organization which grew out of Paul’s first Republican campaign in 2008, and doubled as a...

    @RandPaul Happy 90th birthday, Dad! No one deserves more credit for curing young people's apathy and igniting the liberty movement. It's because of your bravery and fierce defense of our rights that the next generation carries on the torch of liberty.

  • Are we on the verge of a generational jobs crisis?

    @KobeissiLetter Are we on the verge of a generational jobs crisis? The 3-month average youth underemployment rate jumped to 17% in July, the highest since 2020. This metric includes unemployed individuals aged 16–24. Now, the youth underemployment rate has climbed by ~5 percentage points over the last 2 years. This is nearly in line with the peak during the 2001 recession and the early stages of the 2008 Financial Crisis. This also signals the US labor market could weaken further, with young workers typically the first to feel the impact when the economy turns. The job market is rapidly deteriorating.

    A federal judge in Maine on Friday barred the Trump administration from enforcing sanctions on two U.S. citizens and human rights advocates who work with the International Criminal Court (ICC).On April 11, Matthew Smith and Akila Radhakrishnan, a human rights nonprofit leader and lawyer, respectively, filed a 39-page lawsuit against President Donald Trump and several other members of his administration over an executive order that imposes sanctions on the ICC, prohibits certain interactions with designated ICC officials, and threatens both civil and criminal penalties for any such violations.The lawsuit was premised on the idea that the sanctions "violate their First...

    The last election shattered the complacency of the ruling class. For the first time in a long time, the men and women who believed that the future belonged to them, no longer did. The culture war, they began admitting in the post-election moratoriums, had gone against them. They had not just lost an election, they had fallen away from the zeitgeist into their own echo chamber. And no one wanted what they were selling. The Democrats and the larger movement around them has stumbled trying to make a comeback. But they have had a consistent strategy beyond the clumsy efforts...

    A rebel Republican congressman has invited multiple victims of Jeffrey Epstein to a press conference at the U.S. Capitol as part of a bipartisan push to force the release of legal files linked to the late pedophile. Rep. Thomas Massie of Kentucky, a thorn in Donald Trump’s side for his frequent objections to the president’s spending bills and foreign policies, said that he and Democratic Rep. Ro Khanna will be co-hosting the Sept. 3 conference. The event will feature survivors of abuse by Epstein and his associate Ghislaine Maxwell, several of whom “will be speaking out for the first time,”...

    The Mirror ^ | Aug 11 | Christopher Bucktin United States Editor
    Disgraced Prince Andrew may “never set foot” on US soil again, sources say, as lawmakers press for him to provide testimony under oath about his friendship with Jeffrey Epstein. The Duke of York, once branded “Air Miles Andy” for his relentless jet-set lifestyle, has not been to North America for more than a decade. Now, according to senior sources, he is “too terrified” to even contemplate the trip. Andrew’s fear of flying to the States came as he was portrayed as a “serial sex addict” and shameless abuser of privilege in an incendiary new biography that claims the Queen knew...

    Ron Paul Institute ^ | Aug 8 | by Daniel McAdams
    I remember like yesterday when Dr. Paul called me into his Member office in 203 Cannon with a draft of his famous “What If” speech. He had written it in his own hand and he asked me to go over it and clean it up a bit. Not unusual for how he writes: from the heart. And afterward I spent a good deal of time in his office with a stopwatch making sure he could deliver it under the five minute rule. Shuffling the papers. What do we have to cut. Which paragraph could be spoken a bit faster. I...

    @PeterSchiff If you were a customer of Euro Pacific Bank, make sure to follow the updates on the bank's website, now that I have regained control. Qenta—the company that purchased the right to custody the gold and silver previously held by the bank on behalf of customers (among other assets)—just told a federal judge that it should be allowed to keep all of the appreciation in the gold and silver since it was transferred to their custody, to be held for customers, on Sept. 30, 2022. The gold and silver were worth about $25 million then; they are now worth...

    Last week the nuclear rhetoric between the US and Russia made some of us feel like we were transported back to 1962. Back then, Soviet moves to place nuclear-capable missiles 90 miles off our coast in Cuba led to the greatest crisis of the Cold War. The United States and its president, John F. Kennedy, could not tolerate such weapons placed by a hostile power on its doorstep and the world only knew years later how close we were to nuclear war. Thankfully both Khrushchev and Kennedy backed down – with the Soviet leader removing the missiles from Cuba and...

    Democrat Rep. Delia Ramirez (IL) sparked controversy after reportedly declaring at the second annual Panamerican Congress held in Mexico that she is a proud Guatemalan before she is an American. Ramirez, whose husband is a DACA recipient and defines her marriage as "mixed-status" on a campaign website, apparently made the controversial remarks this past weekend at what the Daily Caller has described as a "radical" summit organized by the director of an "anti-American organization." “I’m a proud Guatemalan before I’m an American,” she told the group while speaking in Spanish, according to the outlet's translation. The Daily Caller informs us...

    Ron Paul Institute ^ | Aug 4 | Jack Hunter
    Ron Paul is turning 90 on August 20. At 72, he was a revolutionary. Today, there is a raucous foreign policy debate within the Republican Party. Populist, realist and libertarian “America First” Republicans argue against endless wars and for fiscal responsibility, while holdover hawks continue to insist on a robust U.S. hand and military presence anywhere they can get it, no matter the cost. In 2008, there was no debate. While broad public opinion had soured on the Iraq War and President George W. Bush’s approval reached historic lows, the GOP of that era had spent nearly a decade marinating...

    The American Conservative ^ | Aug 4 | Jack Hunter
    Ron Paul is turning 90 this month. One of the most influential political figures of his time, Paul has meant many things to many people. Here’s at least a part of what he’s meant to me. When I was 20 years old, I supported Pat Buchanan for president. A southerner living in Boston, I was there for his 1996 Lexington battlefield campaign rally where Buchanan jeered at student protesters. “Come on, children, stop it or I’ll take away your Pell grants.” It was also exciting to see Buchanan on the covers of TIME and Newsweek, and to be living next...
  • Think Uncle Sam Owes $37 Trillion? It's Far Worse Than That

    Stark Realities ^ | 08/02/2025 | Brian McGlinchey
    When asked how far the US government has plunged into the red, many fiscally-conscious Americans will tell you the national debt has reached $37 trillion. As distressing as that official number is, America’s true fiscal situation is even worse — far worse. According to a barely-publicized Treasury report, the actual grand total of Uncle Sam’s obligations is more than $151 trillion.That huge discrepancy springs from the fact that the federal government doesn’t hold itself to the same accounting standards it imposes on businesses. Rather than using accrual accounting — which recognizes expenses when they’re incurred — our Washington overlords self-servingly...

    Ghislaine Maxwell, the convicted associate of sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, has been moved from a Florida prison to a new minimum-security facility in Texas, authorities have confirmed. The move comes as Maxwell, who is serving a 20-year sentence for sex trafficking, has pressed the Supreme Court to overturn her conviction while also seeking a pardon from President Donald Trump. Earlier in July, Maxwell held two meetings with the Deputy US Attorney General, the details of which have not been made public. Maxwell has been at the centre of controversy surrounding the Trump administration's handling of the Epstein files, and the...

    U.S. manufacturing contracted for a fifth straight month in July and factory employment dropped to the lowest level in five years amid tariffs that have raised prices of imported raw materials. The Institute for Supply Management (ISM) said on Friday that its manufacturing PMI dropped to 48.0 last month from 49.0 in June. A PMI reading below 50 indicates contraction in manufacturing, which accounts for 10.2% of the economy. Economists polled by Reuters had forecast the PMI edging up to 49.5. The weak PMI reading is consistent with economists' expectations for a slowdown in activity in the third quarter as...
