Former Congressman Ron Paul joins Larry with his take on Donald Trump, the Russia probe, and warns of a 'secret government' operating in the U.S. Then former Defense Secretary William Cohen on the potential pitfalls in negotiating with North Korea.
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.
PurplePAC raised roughly $1.2 million from four donations in the last month — including from Jeff Yass, a Philadelphia options trader who gave $1 million to the new super PAC (he also gave the same amount to America’s Liberty, another pro-Paul super PAC). Philadelphia real estate investor Howie Rich donated $25,000 and Crane donated $5,000.

I'm involved in energy policy as part of my day job. My job is to stay abreast of policy proposals and industry movements.
That means I attend lots of lobbyist calls. I'm on one right now... So, what do they think of the upcoming administration???
I imagine this is happening with all kinds of special interest groups right now. No discussion of where the money is coming from - just...

People in the United States of America are now far more divided than ever, because half the country is ungodly, hates God, hates Jesus, hates family and marriage or babies. the other half also despises the attack on their way of life, and would much rather be left alone , yet has become cowardly and doesnt know what to do or where to turn.
the answer for everyone is simple :

How many of you really believe that everything is gonna go back to normal as soon as this election is over?
How many of you really believe we can "fix this" by "voting harder next election"?
How many of you really think that "this is only a little bad"?
How many of you really think "there will be No Internment Camps" for "Extremists"?
How many of you really think you are gonna survive...
Wyden lays out Senate tax priorities
“millionaires and billionaires to pay their fair share”
As if any tax has ever stayed limited to the ultra-wealthy. And a “millionaire” in many places is simply a person who owns a home. With the massive money printing that is only going to increase, it won't be long until Starbuck’s baristas are earning a million dollars a year on minimum wage...
Seems like my last couple posts are on starting Polls. It wont last long...
There is a lot of conflicting information out there about COVID-19 and most specifically, the TESTS, as to whether or not they are accurate, or inaccurate. If they are inaccurate, why then are they being pushed so hard?
My poll question is also rather vague. So there might something specific you dont believe...
This fall the Indians on a remote reservation asked their new Chief Oyarde if the coming winter was going to be cold or mild.
Since he was a chief in a modern society, he’d never learned the old tribal secrets. He couldn’t look at the sky to predict what the winter was going to be like.
"It's going to be a very cold winter."
So just to be on the safe side, Oyarde told his tribe that the...
After I found out, in December 2016, that the elite have been drinking the blood of the young (vampirism) for centuries, I continued my investigation.
The trail of these bloodsuckers leads to a group that’s known by a variety of names: Dragon Court, Order of the Dragon and Dragon society.
Queen Elizabeth and Prince Charles are descendents of the “real” Count Dracula, Vlad Tepes (which means...

This OP space might see paragraphs added over time!!!
It's taken me ten years, but this could be a really neat
E*book if things get more politically polarized & bordering
on the landscape and environment of 1868. I can opine.
Radical Republicans existed 150 years ago. Less R so now.
