On August 16, my wife, Vickie, and I attended a conference at the Dulles Airport Hilton just outside Washington, D.C. It was titled “A Blueprint For Peace” and was hosted by the Ron Paul Institute for Peace and Prosperity. This institute was started by Rep. Paul at...
Today is the 90th birthday of a great man—my friend, Ron Paul. During my 30 years in the U.S. House, I served with almost 1500 other members. To me, Ron Paul was the best. He was a man of great courage and conviction. He never wavered. Every speech he made, every vote...
When I began to think about what I would write about in this week’s column, my first thought was that I hoped everyone saw the gruesome photographs of the tiny five-month-old girl in Gaza who had starved to death. She had weighed six pounds, six ounces at birth. Five...
When I was in Congress, the least popular, least respected members were the biggest publicity seekers – the ones who were the first and quickest to run to the cameras. They were not regarded as serious legislators. Thus, I have not been a big fan of Rep. Marjorie...
President Trump, to his credit, demanded a ceasefire between Israel and Iran. Both countries agreed to it. Then, the president became very angry with Israel because, as he said, “As soon as we made the deal, they came out and they dropped a load of bombs the likes of...
For years, Jake Tapper, the leading newsreader for CNN, has been very unfair to and very biased against Republicans in general, and to President Trump in particular. Now, in an attempt to restore some of his lost credibility, he has written a new book with Alex...
As many people know, I have spent most of my waking hours reading – books, newspapers, magazines – for work and pleasure since probably my early teens. Two of my favorite nationally syndicated columnists are now deceased: Charley Reese died in 2013 and Georgie Anne...
The hatred of some in Israel for the people of Gaza – even for little children – is just astounding. If they have even a tiny bit of belief in God, they should pray for forgiveness. Unfortunately, NPR reported last Thursday (May 15) on “deadly airstrikes, killing more...
During the 1988 campaign, George W. Bush came to the Courthouse in Maryville, TN to speak at a rally for his Dad. As we were leaving, I told my friend and later Chief of Staff, Bob Griffitts, “Bob, he is better than his Dad.” When he ran for President in 2000, then...
(Photo: journalist Fatima Hassouna, murdered by Israel) As I sat in church last Sunday, before the service started, I thought maybe I read too much. I wish I had not read about Mohammed Hegazy, a seven-year-old Palestinian boy who was blinded by an Israeli grenade...
On Palm Sunday (April 13), Israeli bombs destroyed the surgery and intensive care sections of the “last fully functional hospital in Gaza City,” according to a report by the British Broadcasting Corporation. The hospital was run by the Episcopal Diocese of Jerusalem,...
Last week I was one of the featured speakers at a conference in Texas hosted by the Ron Paul Institute for Peace and Prosperity. Ron Paul himself hosted the events. He will be 90 years old later this year and is still speaking out through a daily TV show and a weekly...
Don't miss John Duncan, Jr. at the Ron Paul Institute Spring Conference! President Trump made a very strong statement on Feb. 13 which will be revolutionary in nature if he can carry it out. He said there is no reason that we should be spending a trillion dollars a...
Don't miss Rep, Duncan at the March 22nd Ron Paul Institute Conference! The hatred in the hearts and minds of many on the Left is just astounding. Having spent a lifetime closely following and being involved in the American political scene, I have never seen anything...
Come see Rep. Duncan speak at the Ron Paul Institute Spring Conference! Many years ago, during a hearing on a request for some new federal courthouses, Rep. (later Senator) Jim Inhofe whispered to me: “You could shoot a gun down the hall of almost any federal...
It was entirely predictable and at times almost humorous to see the sour, partisan reaction by Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, Hillary Clinton, and some in the national media to President Trump’s inaugural address last week. It was obvious that Biden, Harris and Mrs....
I once represented a man charged with first-degree murder. At the preliminary hearing, the courtroom was filled with the family and friends of the victim. When my client was led out of the holding cell, the officer who brought him out leaned over and whispered...
“God help the Nation when it has a President who doesn’t know as much about the military as I do.” – President Dwight D. Eisenhower speaking to his trusted White House Staff Secretary, Gen. Andrew Goodpaster. These words are quoted in the book “Ike’s Bluff – President...
Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was indicted by the International Criminal Court on November 21 for war crimes and crimes against humanity. The U.S. is not a member of this court, and I don’t think it should be because it would not allow jury trials for some...
Some of our leaders seem to care more about other countries, e.g., Ukraine and Israel, than they do about our own. Once again, Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has come to Washington, begging for even more money, this time some $8 billion dollars. The U.S....
