* Tariffs are Theft - Ron Paul.

Tariffs are taxes, and therefore are theft.

* Imposing a tariff is--or should be--a legislative function (of Congress), not an executive function (of the president).

* President Trump: Stop Bombing Yemen and Exit the Middle East! - Ron Paul.

"Over the weekend President Trump ordered a massive military operation against the small country of Yemen. Was Yemen in the process of attacking the United States? No. Did the President in that case go to Congress and seek a declaration of war against the country? No. The fact is, Yemen hadn’t even threatened the United States before the bombs started falling."

"In a real “America first” foreign policy we would be following the Russian and Chinese lead and staying out of the conflict. It’s not our war. End US military involvement in the Middle East and our troubles disappear. It really is that simple."

* Israel Makes Its Most Explicit Statement Of Genocidal Intent Yet - Caitlin Johnstone, AntiWar.com

* Perilous Times for Personal Liberty - Andrew P. Napolitano.

* Using Medicalization to Suppress the Exercise of First Amendment Rights - Adam Dick.

* One way authoritarian governments suppress freedom lovers is to revoke the right of the mentally ill to possess firearms, and to characterize Bible-believing, constitution-loving citizens as mentally ill. Another way is to implement "red flag" laws that justify the confiscation of weapons from someone who is reported to be a danger to himself or to society.

"HHS is helping lead the Trump administration's efforts to expand US government threats to First Amendment rights. Medicalization to restrict free speech, assembly, and petition is on the ascendancy at HHS."

* "It looks like we are witnessing the beginning of a major crackdown on First Amendment rights. The US government, however, will claim this development is nothing to worry about because the purpose is to make America healthy again."
