Weekly Update --- The Great Ukraine Robbery Is Not Over Yet by Ron Paul Liberty Report

Shocking news over the weekend that the "Justice" department had "altered or manipulated" key evidence in former President Trump's classified documents trial casts a shadow on the case against him. Was it incompetence...or something more? Also: As Israel prepares to invade Rafah, will Biden finally stand up for civilians in Gaza?

Opinions are not crimes. They are thoughts. Once government attempts to turn opinions into crimes, it opens the door for any thought that they don’t like to become a crime. The best way to counter distasteful opinions is with free speech, so that the truth can shine a light on them. Opinions can change. Opinions are always changing. But allow the idea of “hate speech” and government can make it a crime anytime you open your mouth in opposition to them.

So much for voting. Also today, the Biden Crime Family strikes again?

Freedom of Speech was included as the First Amendment for a reason. It's that important! Without the ability to speak freely and protest against the government, liberty is lost. Unfortunately, as with so many things when government power expands too far, freedom of speech becomes politicized. "Free speech for me, but not for thee." Both Left & Right will embrace censorship and cracking down on peaceful protests, if they believe it will help them "win." But once freedom of speech is sacrificed, the only "winner" is government power. Both the Left & the Right lose their liberties.
