by Ron Paul Congressional hearings, White House damage control, endless op-eds, accusations, and defensive denials. Controversy over the events in Benghazi last September took center stage in Washington and elsewhere last week. However, the whole discussion is again more of a sideshow. Each side seeks to score political points instead of asking the real questions [...]

by Ron Paul Last week at its regular policy-setting meeting, the Federal Reserve announced it would double down on the policies that have failed to produce anything but a stagnant economy.

by Ron Paul Earlier this month, entertainers Jay-Z and Beyoncé were given a license by the US government to travel to Cuba.

by Ron Paul Despite what the media and politicians would have us believe, the United States did not collapse last Friday when the package of spending reductions known as “sequestration” went into effect. The financial markets hardly blinked, as they have come to be more skeptical about these periodic government-hyped “crises.” What had been portrayed [...]

by Ron Paul When John Kerry was confirmed as Secretary of State last week his first promise was to bring “new ideas” to the job.
