Early reports (now disputed) that Russia responded to UK Storm Shadow attacks on Russian territory with the battle launch of an Inter-Continental Ballistic Missile (ICBM) for the first time in history continues to race the world toward nuclear war. In the waning days of the Biden presidency, how far will the warmongers go? Also today, Netanyahu and Gallant may need to adjust their travel plans after an ICC indictment.

The damage done by endless wars and astronomical government spending may be at the point where economic catastrophe is unavoidable. However, life is far too complex, with far too many variables and unknowns to say for sure. With that being the case, there are certainly steps that the incoming Trump Administration can take to reverse course. The resistance to what is necessary will certainly be intense. But the immense damage can (at least) be repaired.

Just a day after lame-duck US President Joe Biden announced a radical escalation in its Ukraine war policy - allowing Ukraine to use US weapons to strike deep inside Russia - the first of the ATACMS missiles were fired. Russia's modified nuclear doctrine provides for the use of WMDs if the Russian state is attacked even with non-nuclear weapons. Will we survive the Biden presidency? Also today, the knives are out for Trump's Attorney General pick, Matt Gaetz.

Weekly Update --- If Trump Didn’t Send Musk to Talk with the Iranians…He Should! by Ron Paul Liberty Report

If the Wall Street Journal is to be believed, President Biden (or whoever is running his foreign policy) has, in the waning moments of his presidency, agreed finally to allow Ukraine to strike deep in Russian territory with US ATACMS missiles. Putin has warned that such a move could spark WWIII. Is Biden trying to "Trump-proof" his proxy war? Also today, the Pentagon fails its audit...again.

The much anticipated Cabinet appointment of RFK Jr. to the HHS has finally come to fruition. In addition to the military-industrial complex, the medical industry in America has become a major thorn in the side of the American people. After a long train of abuses, trust has been shattered and the word “expert” has become an anathema. Who better to come in to pick up the pieces than RFK Jr.?

President-elect Trump has selected a US military veteran and Fox News commentator to be his next Defense Secretary. Official Washington is panicking due to his "lack of experience." Is this a good move or a bad move? Also: Huckabee to Israel? And make way for DOGE. Please support the Ron Paul Liberty Report: https://ronpaulinstitute.org/donate/

Yesterday was a bad day for those who endorse "America first" in our foreign policy. With reported Trump appointments of neocons Elise Stefanik (UN Ambassador), Mike Waltz (National Security Advisor), and...Marco Rubio (Secretary of State), many who hoped that Trump 2.0 would be different than Trump 1.0 are feeling dejected and betrayed. Is there any hope left? Also today: Iran strongly denied any plan to assassinate Trump - who's lying?

According to Politico, lawfare partisans in the Department of Justice are heading for the exits, terrified that they may be brought to justice over their four - or eight? - years of abusing their authority for political gain.
