It’s not a good look when Republicans and Democrats “negotiate” together and present an unreadable 1,500 page bill. It’s also not a good look for a follow-up Republican bill that seeks to raise the debt ceiling again for two years. We’re going bankrupt thanks to $36 trillion in debt. The American people voted to go in the other direction. Why doesn’t Washington ever get it?

After promising there would be no Christmas Continuing Resolution...Speaker Johnson put out...a Christmas Continuing Resolution. It was jammed with so much pork that he faced a GOP revolt in the House and a D.O.G.E revolt from Elon and Vivek. What's next? Also today, New House-introduced "D.O.G.E." Bill is unimpressive. We'll tell you why.

Weekly Update --- What Are We Doing in Syria? by Ron Paul Liberty Report

If it's Christmas, then it's another massive, bloated "Continuing Resolution" keeping the US government open for a few more months. Every year House leadership - doesn't matter which party - strong-arms Members to vote for the bloated bill...or miss Christmas with their families. Also today: "Peacekeepers" in Ukraine is a very bad idea. That's why the neocons love it. Please consider a tax-deductible donation to the Ron Paul Institute: https://ronpaulinstitute.org/donate/

According to a new report, the US government keeps pouring money into fighting "misinformation" - but is it just another word for censorship? Also today: Israel moves deeper into Syria.

"How do you End The Fed?” is a common question. Since the government created the Fed by signing the Federal Reserve Act in 1913 (yes, The Fed is a government-created monopoly) then the simple answer is for Congress to repeal that Act. But alas, it is not so simple in practice. The Fed has been our albatross for over 100 years and it has entrenched itself into our economic lives. Steps can definitely be taken, however, to free ourselves from this immoral and unconstitutional monopoly. Over time, as has happened with Americans freeing themselves from the mainstream media, it can be done.

Despite the positive election results on Nov. 5, we must not forget that economically America is a sinking ship. Over the last several weeks, President-elect Trump has made public some proposals that are clearly designed to bring business back to America. For decades, our overbearing government has chased big business away, and has made it very difficult for small business to survive. This cannot be fixed without a drastic decrease in regulations and government spending. It will not be fixed if the Trump Administration attempts to save the military empire. Trying to preserve the empire will just shuffle the deck chairs on our sinking ship. America First has to really be America First. It can be done.

Just as in Libya (and Iraq), the "liberation" of Syria from the rule of Assad has unleashed mass murder and mayhem. Is this a regime-change bug...or a feature? Also today: Neocons for the win? Please consider a tax-deductible donation to the Ron Paul Institute: https://ronpaulinstitute.org/donate/
