The Tea Party movement is well and truly dead, writes former Freedom Works president Matt Kibbe. What killed it and why? We discuss that and other efforts to rein in Washington in today's Liberty Report...

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.

Nicolas Talbott, a graduate student at Kent State University in Ohio who is transgender, was told in May that because of President Donald Trump’s transgender ban in the military, he would no longer be eligible for placement as an Army officer. He could continue participating in the Reserve Officers' Training Corps program, but the benefits that he joined for — health insurance and student...
At 2:19 from the shooter:
Oh American, people.
I'm not against you for being American.
I don't hate you because of your freedoms.
I hate you because because every day you are supporting, funding and committing crimes not only against Muslims but also humanity.

The Satanic Temple is the perfect religion for progressives.
You can believe anything you want, as long as you hate what Donald Trump, Christians and conservatives believe. Unlike the Church of Satan, the Satanic Temple doesn’t even believe in a supernatural entity called Satan. Instead, they celebrate Satan as “the ultimate rebel”, and they relish in using the symbol of Satan to...
Devin Nunes appeared on Tucker Carlson to discuss the impeachment events of the day. However, thankfully they also discussed the revelation that HPSCI Chairman Adam Schiff randomly started issuing subpoenas for telephone information. That’s the part I find very troubling. Notice how the media simply ignores it? This is a pretty big damn deal.
Under what authority can congress...
Gary Willis, a resident of Ferndale, Maryland, was awakened Monday morning at 5:17 a.m. when two officers from Anne Arundel County knocked on his door. A law-abiding gun owner, Willis answered the door “with a gun in his hand,” according to a police department spokesman. They were there to serve him with an “extreme risk protective order” and remove his legally owned firearms.
According...
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...

Unwin examines the data from 86 societies and civilizations to see if there is a relationship between sexual freedom and the flourishing of cultures. What makes the book especially interesting is that we in the West underwent a sexual revolution in the late 1960’s, 70’s, and 80’s and are now in a...
Government, Money, and International Politics is one of my favorite Hoppe pieces (he has so many excellent pieces that it can be hard to choose). In it, he gives a succinct and extremely exact description of monetary imperialism -- why it exists, how it came into being and what its ultimate aims are.
When the central banking system is first correctly understood as a system of monetary...
This thread is mostly about the effect of Bilateral Investment Treaties (BITs), and the way they keep the third world enslaved.
I took a lot of time to investigate the arbitration of Investor-State Dispute Settlement (ISDS) of the World Bank. This gives companies the possibility to “sue” states, so they can get damaged compensated if (democratically elected) parliaments make laws, that they...
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.
