Weekly Update --- Congress Asleep As Biden Makes War On Yemen by Ron Paul Liberty Report

Connor Boyack is the founder of the Libertas Institute and the author of the highly influential "Tuttle Twins" series of books geared toward teaching young people about freedom and liberty.

Former President Donald Trump won the first in the nation primary by an historic margin, leaving Nikki “Nipping At Don’s Heels” Haley far in the dust. What does this say about the American voter considering the numerous indictments and other lawfare tools being used against him? Also today: Iran retaliates as DC sends more troops to the region.

As could have been predicted, several rounds of US and allied airstrikes on Yemen have failed to "de-escalate" tensions with the Houthis, who have declared that they would halt shipping to and from Israeli ports in response to Tel Aviv's destruction of Gaza. In a bind, what will Biden do? Also today...Netanyahu tells the truth. Finally: US watched as American journalist died in Ukrainian dungeon.

The U.S. has decided to bomb yet another Middle Eastern nation, this time the Houthis in Yemen. Once again, this has nothing to do with the security of the United States, and once again Congress has not declared war - which makes this action blatantly unconstitutional. It's evident that we (and our representatives!) have been relegated to being mere spectators as a small handful of people in government place our lives and property into significant danger.

Iran has seized the exact cargo ship seized by the United States last year, raising the stakes in the Middle Eastern tinderbox. The US seized the ship and confiscated the million barrels of Iranian oil as a punishment for violation of US sanctions. Now the Iranians are likely to "get their oil back" from the exact same (renamed) ship, this time carrying Iraqi oil. Also today: US moves closer to seizing Russian assets and Speaker Johnson pledges the US to defend Taiwan.

Famed trends forecaster Gerald Celente joins today's Liberty Report to give us an idea of what to look for in 2024. Will we have a global economic meltdown? Total war? More tyranny?

Secretary of State Antony Blinken is in Israel trying to convince Tel Aviv to slow down on killing civilians, stop flattening infrastructure, and to not ethnically cleanse Gaza of Palestinians. Israel's response thus far has been a hard "no." Has Washington ever been so impotent? Also today, thousands of amputee children in Gaza continue to suffer as US-provided bombs destroy their lives.

Weekly Update --- Soft Landing Or Hard Crash? by Ron Paul Liberty Report

Call it "The Case of the Disappearing Defense Secretary." Just as a major war is about to break out in the Middle East - which will most certainly involve the United States - President Biden's Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin...disappeared! And no one noticed! Who's running the show? Also today: Hold your wallets: House Republican leadership set to "compromise" on big spending budget. Finally - war profits: US-funded troops from Israel are fighting US-funded troops from Lebanon.

America was never meant to be an empire. It was meant to remain the "land of the free." Empires are the antithesis of freedom, and they always end up going broke. Alas, after 100 years of foreign misadventures, we Americans find ourselves saddled with the biggest government in history and an empire that's going broke! Just the interest on the national debt is now higher than the extremely bloated "defense" budget. We all know what happens when interest payments overwhelm, right? Liquidation.

Are Americans getting war-weary? A new AP-NORC poll has revealed that the percentage of Americans who consider foreign policy a top issue has doubled this year. The Biden Administration thus far has been one of steady increase in military involvement overseas and as this and other recent polls show, Americans are fed up. Also today: New House Bill calls for the US to drop charges against Assange. Can we get it some traction?

Iran has suffered its largest terror attack in more than 40 years, as several explosive devices went off at a memorial ceremony for the late Gen. Soleimani. With tensions in the Middle East already at an extreme, who could have been behind the attack and who benefits? Also today: surprise surprise - the "extremism in the military" scare was completely bogus. Another Biden lie.

Weekly Update --- A New Year's Resolution Worth Keeping by Ron Paul Liberty Report

Many podcasts and prognosticators are busy today making predictions of what to expect in 2024. We are taking a different approach. Today we bring you a few things you can bet will NOT happen in the new year.

Mankind's enduring battle between power and liberty is about to flip the calendar page once again. While the former uses force to create division, the latter seeks harmony through voluntary interactions. Power may have the upper hand as we start the new year, but the desperation to hold onto that power has now become more than obvious. What are the prospects for liberty as we enter 2024?

Flashback 2012: Ron Paul's Final Floor Speech To Congress by Ron Paul Liberty Report

Inflation is "down," so we'll be popping open the good champagne this New Year’s Eve, right? Then why does it seem like we should be popping open soda cans instead? Why do our own senses (and bills) tell us a different story from the government's "narratives"? Can we ever expect the truth from a government that spends money that it doesn't have, that the Federal Reserve has to counterfeit into existence?
