An Offensive Shield — for Impunity, and Genocide: The Iron Dome and U.S. Complicity in Slaughter of Gazans| The Ron Paul Institute for Peace & Prosperity
When Donald Trump entered the White House for his second term as president, he had an excellent opportunity to extricate the United States from the quagmire war between Russia and Ukraine.

Since the start of the war in Ukraine, in February 2022, Volodymyr Zelensky has been elevated to the status of a hero King, pure in thought and deed, interested only in saving humble Ukraine from the onrushing hordes of Russian Orcs.

A year into legal recreational marijuana sales in California, the volume of sales is far less than many people, and the state government, expected.

Legal marijuana in Colorado has been a boon for freedom, allowing people to make, transfer, and consume marijuana products free from the threat of arrest by state or local police.

US Hubris-Driven Blunders Transform the Entire Complexion of the Wider War| The Ron Paul Institute for Peace & Prosperity

US is Flummoxed by Yemen| The Ron Paul Institute for Peace & Prosperity
Well, I was wrong again. I thought that Donald Trump’s scheme to take control of Gaza and send the Palestinians to some great, new homes in Egypt and Jordan was just a negotiating ploy. Nope.
