Col. Douglas Macgregor joins today’s Liberty Report with a dire warning for the coming year. Spending, inflation, and the looming threat of wars have the warning signs blaring red. Our leaders seem incapable of leading this country out of the gathering storm. What can we do to right this ship? Is there hope?
The Liberty Report
What Was Said – And Wasn’t Said – In Trump’s TV Speech
by Daniel McAdams | Dec 18, 2025 | The Liberty Report
President Trump addressed the nation last night live on television amid rumors he would announce the beginning of a war on Venezuela. Several warnings – including from Tucker Carlson – indicated the war announcement was likely. In the end the word “Venezuela” was not uttered. What does it mean? Also today – a new poll on Republican support for Israel aid is bound to be a headache for Trump.
Gunboat Diplomacy: Trump Declares Full Naval Blockade Of Venezuela
by Daniel McAdams | Dec 17, 2025 | The Liberty Report
In a rambling social media post last night, President Trump declared that US military vessels off the Venezuelan coast would enforce a full naval blockade of the country until “our land and our oil” are returned to the US. Will the US attack Russian or Chinese ships who do not recognize the blockade?
From Drugs to War? Trump Labels Fentanyl a ‘WMD’
by Daniel McAdams | Dec 16, 2025 | The Liberty Report
President Trump has signed an executive order declaring the synthetic opioid fentanyl to be a “weapon of mass destruction,” falsely claiming that it kills 200-300,000 Americans per year. We are back in 2002 Iraq War territory, with made up statistics and fear porn being used to grease the path to war.
What Are US Troops Guarding (And Dying For) In Syria?
by Daniel McAdams | Dec 15, 2025 | The Liberty Report
The killing of two US National Guard troops and one interpreter – and wounding of other US personnel – in Syria over the weekend forces once again the question: WHY are US troops STILL in Syria? What is their mission? How is it in the US national interest for them to be there? And WHY are we building yet ANOTHER base in Syria?
Ahoy! Pirate Trump Seizes Venezuelan Oil Tanker – ‘We’ll Keep The Oil!’
by Daniel McAdams | Dec 11, 2025 | The Liberty Report
Just one month after US CENTCOM condemned Iran for boarding a commercial vessel in international waters, the Trump Administration boarded and seized a Venezuelan oil tanker bound for Cuba and seized the cargo. Is this another provocation hoping for a Venezuelan response to kick off the war? Also today: Massie introduces bill to get out of NATO.
Desperation? US Sends Fighters Deep Into Gulf of Venezuela
by Daniel McAdams | Dec 10, 2025 | The Liberty Report
The US military sent two US Navy F/A-18 fighters deeper into Venezuela’s area of influence than ever before. They lingered near the coast for nearly an hour – tempting Venezuela to react and get the escalation? Meanwhile, US public support for military action is cratering and the Administration lacks the troops in the region for a ground invasion – even as President Trump ramps up the threats. What’s the endgame?
Another TRILLION Dollar NDAA Military Spending Bill!
by Daniel McAdams | Dec 9, 2025 | The Liberty Report
So much for the end of the US as world’s policemen. The 2026 National Defense Authorization Act includes another one trillion dollars in spending! Is this all about defending the American people…or protecting the military-industrial complex. And Ukraine’s Zelensky has refused to consider any concession of territory to end the war.
Here Comes The $12 Billion Farm Aid Bill – Is There A Better Way?
by Daniel McAdams | Dec 8, 2025 | The Liberty Report
President Trump is expected to unveil a $12 billion bill to assist farmers today. It is an unnecessary expense brought about by bad policies. Fortunately there is a better way…
The ‘Affordability Crisis’ And What It Means For The Midterms
by Daniel McAdams | Dec 4, 2025 | The Liberty Report
While President Trump remains preoccupied with foreign affairs, new polling shows an accelerating softening in support among Trump voters concerned with the high cost of living. The buzzword is “affordability” but what does that really mean?
Hegseth In Hot Seat As ‘Murder-gate’ Picks Up Steam
by Daniel McAdams | Dec 3, 2025 | The Liberty Report
Was he there? Was he somewhere else? The White House and Pentagon can’t seem to get the story straight on the “double-tap” murder of survivors of a US extrajudicial killing off the coast of Venezuela in September. Suddenly Congress is waking up to the real problem of President Trump’s “shoot first” policy on boats in the Caribbean. Also today…more US bombs on Somalia – who are we at war with?
‘Who Ordered The Second Strike?’
by Daniel McAdams | Dec 2, 2025 | The Liberty Report
: President Trump’s shoot to kill policy on boats off the coast of Venezuela has run into serious legal trouble after the media has reported that his Defense Secretary, Hegseth, ordered survivors of a first strike to all be killed as they clung to the wreckage of the boat. “Kill them all,” he was reported to have said. But why are they killing anyone? Are we at war? Also today, NATO slips further into irrelevancy…
