President Trump presented a massive $4.8 trillion budget proposal that gives the impression of slashing domestic spending while boosting spending on militarism.

Iowa Caucus Fiasco: Something New, Or Deja Vu?

Last night’s Iowa Democratic Caucus has devolved into a poster child for how NOT to conduct an election. This is nothing new. Conspiracy, incompetence, and group-think have perhaps all come together to deliver a huge political present to President Trump. Maybe democracy itself is the problem. Watch today’s Liberty Report:
