EXCLUSIVE–Rand Paul: Is Our Military Budget too Small, or Is Our Mission too Large?
Since 2001, the U.S. military budget has more than doubled in nominal terms and grown by more than 37 percent, accounting for inflation. The U.S. spends more on its military than the next eight countries combined.
This prompts the question: Is our military budget too small, or is our mission too large?
It’s hard to argue that our military is underfunded. Our mission, on the other hand, includes our involvement in combat operations in Iraq, Syria, Afghanistan, Somalia, Niger, Libya, and Yemen. We have troops in over 50 out of 54 African countries. The wars in Iraq and Afghanistan have cost over a trillion
Ron Paul Liberty Report discusses espionage and leaking classified information with Guest John Kiriakou. Quite possibly the most entertaining episode I have watched and I was surprised I didn't see it here. John seemed like a democrat but sounded like he understood liberty and was passionate about how there was no one out there trying to expose the fraud waste, abuse and laws being broken because "they" go after you for doing it and destroy your life.
There are now three — count them, three — super PACs supporting Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul’s 2016 presidential bid. According to FEC filings on Monday, the third super PAC, PurplePAC, is being run by Cato Institute co-founder and president emeritus Ed Crane and aims to focus on digital media.

Philadelphia real estate investor Howie Rich donated $25,000 and Crane donated $5,000.

Swordsmyth keeps repeating the false claim that Trump had to appoint swamp critters like William Barr, who had ties to Jeffrey Epstein, to be Attorney General, Mike Pompeo to be Secretary Of State, and John Bolton to be National Security Advisor as a "compromise" with Mitch McConnell to avoid impeachment. Here's the problem. William Barr was nominated to be attorney general BEFORE Trump made...
While the violence they commit gets posted often, I think it's now clearly become a big enough threat to people it deserves it's own thread. I'll start;

This is an excerpt from a opinion piece written by Michael Harriot published 11 July 2023 and titled:
Take things from white people
In the piece he goes on to say how, because of white supremacy and violent white people maiming and killing decent black folks, there is no choice to but to take everything from from white people:
Lets examine some of these claims:

Some of the firms, notably Melvin Capital, have doubled down and gone to investors for billions in...

I've heard a lot of people say the problem with free trade is that it only works when both countries are allowing trade. That's wrong. For example even if China sells to us but doesn't allow us to sell to them, it still benefits us (and hurts China).
