Back Door War: SecDef Admits US Troops In Gaza May See Combat
by Daniel McAdams | May 1, 2024 | The Liberty Report
In a fascinating exchange US Rep. Matt Gaetz probed US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin about the role of the estimated 1,000 US troops involved in building a floating pier to deliver aid to Gaza. Austin insisted that they were not “boots on the ground” although he admitted they would be armed and would respond to incoming fire. Injecting US troops into a warzone requires a Congressional vote, Gaetz warned Austin. Also today: Pro-life activist meets US “justice” system. Finally: Cheating on mail-in ballots? Say it ain’t so!
Betrayal! Speaker Johnson Slipped $3.5 Billion For PRO-Migration In Aid Bill!
by Daniel McAdams | Apr 30, 2024 | The Liberty Report
Not only did the massive $100 billion foreign aid bill passed by Speaker Johnson earlier this month contain not a penny to protect US borders, it turns out the bill contained a $3.5 billion “slush fund” to actually help facilitate MORE migration into the US. Will conservatives finally turn on him? Also today…Russia claims to have shot down six ATACMS missiles in attempted Ukraine attack on Crimea. Good news for the US military-industrial complex! Finally today: Government “anti-Semitism monitors” on all college campuses?
Insurrection! Congress Working To ‘Trump Proof’ Ukraine Military Aid.
by Daniel McAdams | Apr 29, 2024 | The Liberty Report
In yet another example of the Democrats and their uniparty partners the Republicans seeking to narrow the foreign policy authority, Congress is reportedly seeking to create a ten year funding agreement with Ukraine that the next three future presidents will find nearly impossible to break. So much for voting. Also today, the Biden Crime Family strikes again?
Netanyahu To Biden: Shut Down The Student Protests!
by Daniel McAdams | Apr 25, 2024 | The Liberty Report
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu released a video yesterday attacking the student protests in the US against Israel’s actions in Gaza and demanding that US authorities crack down on those exercising free speech. House Speaker Mike Johnson echoed Netanyahu’s condemnation of the protesters and called for the National Guard to be sent in. Has he ever heard of “Kent State”? Also…Texas governor Gregg Abbott sent troops to crack heads at a University of Texas protest. Free speech on the ropes?
Bizarre Mitch McConnell: ‘It’s All Tucker Carlson’s Fault!
by Daniel McAdams | Apr 24, 2024 | The Liberty Report
In a bizarre rant after Senate passage of the huge $95 billion foreign aid bill, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell blamed journalist Tucker Carlson for Republican opposition to the overseas giveaway. The top Senate Republican implied that Carlson’s reporting on rampant corruption in Ukraine makes him a “Russian asset” rather than a journalist. Also today: The McConnell/Schumer uniparty bulldozes America. Finally: merit makes a comeback at US universities.
NATO At 75 – Time To Retire?
by Daniel McAdams | Apr 23, 2024 | The Liberty Report
NATO’s purpose – if it ever had one – is now long since passed. The Cold War has ended and the over-blown scare of global communism has receded. So what is NATO’s purpose in our era? Is it time for a radical restructuring? Also today – the Ukraine aid bill will likely be signed into law today and the military-industrial bonanza will be on. But will more weapons make a difference? Finally – is Trump secretly mad at Speaker Johnson?
CIA To Zelensky: ‘Please Stop Stealing So Much.’
by Daniel McAdams | Apr 22, 2024 | The Liberty Report
According to a new article by Seymour Hersh, CIA Director William Burns traveled to Kiev earlier this year to ask Zelensky to stop skimming so much off the top of US aid money. Apparently his top generals were angry that he was skimming more than they were! Meanwhile Congress voted to send $60 billion MORE to the corrupt regime. With the money approved, calls are now going out for Western TROOPS to be sent to Ukraine. Also today: Trump’s alleged “hush money” is “election interference”?
‘War Time’ Speaker Johnson’s Ukraine Border Defense Bill Leaves US Borders Wide Open!
by Daniel McAdams | Apr 18, 2024 | The Liberty Report
House Speaker Mike Johnson said this week he considers himself a “war time” Speaker – even though we are not at war. But he seems to be at war with the American people, bringing up a bill to send a hundred billion dollars overseas while America struggles. Also today: will the Senate stop the super-spy bill?
Red Alert! Congress Goes ‘Full Stasi’ With New Spying Power!
by Daniel McAdams | Apr 17, 2024 | The Liberty Report
Buried deep in the FISA Section 702 re-authorization bill is absolutely shocking language exponentially broadening the US government’s ability to spy on Americans without a warrant. Turning your plumber into a federal spy agent against you? It’s in there! Your gardener? Yep. Truly shocking! Also today: The US Government has submitted its “assurances” to the UK regarding the Assange extradition plan. It’s not good.
Speaker Johnson Rolls Out MASSIVE Foreign Spending Bills. Zero For US Border.
by Daniel McAdams | Apr 16, 2024 | The Liberty Report
The revolt against House Speaker Mike Johnson is picking up steam, as Johnson revealed plans to take several MASSIVE foreign spending bills to the floor this week. Tying foreign aid to protecting the borders at home – once a staple in Johnson’s rhetoric – has been tossed aside. Rep. Thomas Massie announced he would co-sponsor a bill to vacate the Chair – an ouster of Johnson.
Will Israel Escalate?
by Daniel McAdams | Apr 15, 2024 | The Liberty Report
After an unprecedented Iranian response to Israel’s attack on its embassy in Syria pressure is building for Israel to retaliate against the retaliation. Biden officials are panicking at the thought of a wider Mideast war in election season. What happens next? Also today, a US General admits the truth about Russia’s war in Ukraine. After two years of US government lies.
