* The Battle for the Governorship of Utah – Phil Lyman, LymanForUtah.com


“During the 2024 election cycle, Cox lost to challenger Phil Lyman at the Utah GOP Convention 67.5% to 32.5%, and as such, failed to qualify for the primary ballot. Lyman emerged as the sole Republican nominee at the convention, while Cox sought to buy his way onto the ballot using the nomination petition process legalized in 2014 with Senate Bill 54 (SB54).


* Donald Trump Does Not Know the ‘Correct’ Interest Rate – Ron Paul.


“Interest rates are the price of money. Like all prices, the “correct” interest rate is set by the interaction of free people acting in a free market, not by a central planner.


“Interest rates, like all prices, send signals to market actors regarding market conditions. When bureaucrats or politicians manipulate the money supply in order to change the interest rates, they distort those signals. These distortions are the reason the American economy has been plagued by a boom-and-bust business cycle.”


* Since Congress created the Fed in 1913, the US dollar has lost over 97 percent of its purchasing power.


* The Right to be Left Alone – Jge Andrew Napolitano.


“Thus, our rights to be alive, to think as we wish, to say what we think, to publish what we say, to worship or not, to associate or not, to assemble with others, to defend ourselves from crazies and tyrants, to travel, to own property, and to be left alone are all hard-wired into our human nature. Nature is the means through which God passes along His gifts to us. We come about by a biological act of nature. God’s greatest gift to us is life, and He tied that gift to free will. Just as He is perfectly free, so are we.”


* When will we refuse to tolerate this pernicious behavior from our public servants?


* EU Declares War on Free Speech in America – Jonathan Turley.


* Russia Is Not Our Enemy – Jacob G. Hornberger.


“Ever since the conversion of the federal government to a national-security state, Americans have lived their lives under what amounts to perpetual war for perpetual peace. In the process, the Pentagon, the CIA, and the NSA have made life less safe for the American people while, at the same time, destroyed our liberty and our well-being.”
