GOP Senators Freak Out As Trump Eases Russia Sanctions!
by Daniel McAdams | Oct 20, 2026 | The Liberty Report
Demonstrating once again that there is only one party in Washington – the War Party – Republican Senators are blistering mad at President Trump for easing the Lindsey Graham “bone-crushing” sanctions on Russia for the purchase of diesel fuel. They are not alone: Democrats in the House and Senate are also up in arms over Trump’s snub of “our ally” Ukraine. Why are they so addicted to war?
Trump To Bibi: ‘Finish The Job’ In Iran
by Daniel McAdams | Oct 19, 2026 | The Liberty Report
In his endorsement of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for re-election over the weekend, President Trump urged Israel to help “finish the job” against Iran. He warned that if Netanyahu is not re-elected the job of “finishing” Iran would fall to the United States. Bu can Israel “finish” Iran? Also today: In Europe, years of support for Ukraine have driven up prices and destroyed the economy, contributing to the chaos now engulfing more and more of the continent. Winter is coming and high diesel prices will increase the pain.
Iran War: Trump Sowed The Wind, And Is Reaping The Whirlwind
by RPI Staff | Oct 16, 2026 | The Liberty Report
As we close in on 8 months of what was originally not a war, but an “excursion,” the gravity and reality of what has been done is front and center. The president continues to SAY that things have never been better, that “we won,” while also claiming it’ll be over “very soon”—an oxymoronic combination. But the president’s ACTIONS tell a much different story. They are acts of desperation. Trump choosing to reject America First is reaping a whirlwind of consequences.

by Daniel McAdams | Oct 15, 2026 | The Liberty Report
As should have been obvious, the US military program to blow up boats and kill everyone aboard in the name of fighting “narco-terrorism” has failed spectacularly. The Wall Street Journal reported yesterday that not only has the drug trade not been halted with such moves, it is actually stronger than ever, with cheaper prices and better quality. Hundreds dead without charge or trial with zero effect on the drug trade.

With inflation biting hard and elecftions nearer, will voters publish Republican candidates for Trump’s tariff policy?
Bad News Poll: Most Think Trump Using Presidency As Piggy Bank
by Daniel McAdams | Oct 13, 2026 | The Liberty Report
A new AP/NORC poll has shown that most Americans – including a majority of Republicans – believe that President Trump is either illegally or unethically using the office of the Presidency for personal profit.

Will Trump’s Russia Diesel Deal Save The Midterms?
by Daniel McAdams | Oct 12, 2026 | The Liberty Report
Just a week or so after signing the “Lindsey Graham Sanctions Bill” on Russia, President Trump has made a sanctions-busting deal with Russia to purchase diesel. Despite claims that he “won the war” against Iran, fuel prices in the US continue to soar, likely ensuring a Republican loss in the midterm elections next month.
Surviving Empire
by RPI Staff | Oct 9, 2026 | The Liberty Report
Everything is coming apart at the seams. Once long-held assumptions about the international order no longer apply. Today the very idea of international law has been pushed aside in favor of naked aggression. Treaty alliances don’t count for much. Even worse, many elites no longer fear war.
