The "hidden" cost of ill-advised wars is borne by the American taxpayer, who funds the war not through direct taxation but indirectly through dollar degradation through inflation.
Even a one trillion dollar military budget was not enough to fight a single war in the Middle East.
Watch @RonPaul & @DanielLMcAdams below:
BREAKING: The three major U.S. broadcast networks, ABC, CBS, and NBC, have yet to report on DNI Tulsi Gabbard’s recent declassification regarding Anthony Fauci’s cover-up of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Thank you for this breakdown @WinningintheUSA
It was truly a historic run. I believe it will open the door for many more to follow. I am in no way finished - just prepping for the next season were this work will continue on a different front.
The irony of Republicans controlling all branches of government while
bankrupting the country, starting a war, sending money to fraudulent programs, violating the Constitution, giving corporations immunity...
but arguing that the biggest problem we have is “stolen elections.”
My dad is not my “dad”.
My mom left an abusive marriage with my father when I was 8 months old.
We were homeless for a little while until she found the man who would raise me.
She had credit card debt and not much to offer. Just a baby girl and a toddler boy with cerebral palsy.
The man who would come to be the only true father I ever knew sold his vintage motorcycles and his only vehicle to pay off her credit cards and take care of us.
He was a young teacher, and she would be a stay-at-home mom.
From the time they married, I never rode the bus, never ate a school lunch, and never came home to an empty house.
He biked to work every day, sacrificing to support our family.
He was there for every soccer game. He bought every prom dress. He invested endlessly in my hobbies.
Over time, his consistent belief in me built my confidence. He took me to photography and digital art conferences where I learned valuable skills that helped me launch my first business.
I always knew that, no matter what, I was never alone, never unloved, and never without the full support of my dad.
Decades later, I asked him why he fell in love with my mom. What drew him to her? A homeless woman with two small kids isn’t really a catch.
He told me, “I didn’t just fall in love with your mom. I fell in love with you too.”
Happy Father’s Day to the men who chose to step up for those who other men let down.
You are the real heroes.

Add this to the growing list of reasons to elect James Taylor as the next State Superintendent of Schools.
How someone reacted/behaved during the cv19 debacle speaks volumes to their character. Did you stand, or remain silent, obedient, weak?
🚨 MANSION IN MAINE?
Gentner Drummond wants to be Oklahoma’s next Governor. But here’s a question every voter should ask:
If elected, will he govern from the Governor’s Mansion in Oklahoma City… or from his $2.25 million luxury waterfront compound in Maine?
In October 2020, during the height of the first major PPP loan wave, Drummond and his wife Wendy purchased property at 32 Hodgdon Cove Road in West Boothbay Harbor, Maine for $2,250,000.
This isn’t a modest vacation cabin.
Property records and real estate listings describe a roughly 3,650-square-foot waterfront home featuring five bedrooms, 3.5 to 4 bathrooms, multiple acres of land, direct cove frontage, a horse barn, and a boathouse on the water. Think more coastal compound than weekend getaway.
The purchase was financed with a reported $1.5 million mortgage through Blue Sky Bank, an institution where Drummond and family members have longstanding leadership and ownership connections.
Then came the refinance.
Meanwhile, Drummond-affiliated businesses, including ranching, retail, and legal operations, reportedly received approximately $3.6 million in PPP loans across multiple rounds. Public records indicate roughly $1.7 million of those funds came through a second PPP round processed by Blue Sky Bank itself.
The timing raises questions.
Public tax records in Boothbay Harbor and Lincoln County, Maine confirm ownership by Gentner F. and Wendy Drummond. There is nothing illegal about owning a second home. Wealthy business owners do it all the time.
But voters are also entitled to ask whether someone seeking Oklahoma’s highest office is fully invested in Oklahoma.
Drummond often highlights his Oklahoma credentials: fighter pilot, rancher, Attorney General, and businessman. Yet critics continue to point to the Maine property, the bank relationships, and the optics of maintaining a luxury out-of-state residence while seeking to lead Oklahoma through major challenges involving education, prisons, infrastructure, insurance, and economic development.
The issue is not whether he can own a mansion in Maine.
The question is whether Oklahoma should be governed by someone whose attention appears divided between the Sooner State and a waterfront estate nearly 2,000 miles away.
The deeds are public.
The PPP records are public.
The bank connections are public.
Do your own research and draw your own conclusions.
Mansion in Maine… or commitment to Oklahoma?

Happy Father's Day to my dad, @RonPaul. No one did more to wake up a generation to the ideas of sound money, limited government, and individual liberty. His courage to stand alone and speak the truth when no one else would is something I carry with me every single day in the Senate.
I’m grateful to have him as my dad. I’m wishing him and every father out there a wonderful Father's Day.
Wow! What a year! This has been!
We have, without a doubt, been stretched in so many ways, but our faith and strength has compounded.
After driving around 100K miles to 77 counties, running 386 miles down route 66, speaking at almost 300 events, and meeting thousands of Oklahomans, we took a couple of days off to recharge, refocus and pray about the next season. And we are excited about what's to come!
As it goes in politics, there are endless rumors, speculations, and just blatant lies. I'm pretty immune to them by now. People are going to talk - especially on X - but few talk directly to me. Those who reach out for clarity, usually get a pretty quick answer straight from me. Those who don't reach out, never wanted clarity to begin with. They like the drama. Personally, I try to minimize it.
Let me clarify a few things.
No, I haven't made any back room deals.
No, I didn't start a Go Fund Me to pay off my mortgage (nor did I have anything to do it).
No, I wasn't recruited to split the vote.
No, I haven't endorsed anyone yet.
No, Oklahoma isn't doomed.
Yes, I'm staying in the fight.
Yes, I will be working across the state on critical cultural reform - those things government can't do.
Yes, Oklahoma's best days are ahead.
For years, I raised alarms about dangerous gain-of-function research being farmed out to foreign countries, and I was told it was a conspiracy theory. Now, declassified documents show that the U.S. funded over 120 biolabs across more than 30 countries. Some of this research was conducted overseas precisely because scientists knew it would face scrutiny on American soil.
I'm calling for a presidential commission of scientists to review all gain-of-function research going forward. We're going lab by lab and pathogen by pathogen until the American people know the full truth.
