Somaliland Needs Self-Determination
Created in 1960, the United Nations–recognized state of Somalia is by almost all accounts a failed state.

The Heroic Anti-War Students
Anti-war students have been staging protests and demonstrations on a great many university campuses throughout America. A number of so-called “conservatives” have called for the police to arrest the students. Zionists groups accuse the students of “anti-Semitism” and demand that they be expelled from school.

Nebraska Ends Income Taxes on Gold and Silver, Declares CBDC’s Are Not Lawful Money
With Gov. Jim Pillen’s recent signature, Nebraska has become the 12th state to end capital gains taxes on sales of gold and silver.
LB 1317 is the fourth major sound money bill to become law this year, as state lawmakers across the nation scramble to protect the public from the ravages of inflation and runaway federal debt.
