NATO at 70 – Time for the Zombie To Die
If NATO were a person, it would be five years past retirement age. In fact NATO should have retired back in the early 1990s when its reason for existence – the Warsaw Pact – ceased to exist. Instead, new missions had to be created and new enemies had to be made to justify the massive behemoth that provides lush jobs for the well-connected and vast fortunes for the weapons makers. NATO must die and the sooner the better. On today’s Ron Paul Liberty Report:

How Passing the ERA Would Benefit Black Women with Incarcerated Family Members
Passing of the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) has been a struggle for almost a century now. Sage Howard, writing for Women’s eNews, draws the connection between yet another women’s rights issue that the ERA would help to combat: the financial burden placed on women to pay the costs of their incarcerated family members.

The Tenderloin: San Francisco’s Hidden LGBT Cultural District
When you think of San Francisco’s LGBTQ+ scene, most people think of the Castro. Many don’t know that the Castro was not always the center of LGBT+ history.

Is America Dying?
The world looks on America as something very different than it really is. Much of what is told of America, both good and bad, is simply as Donald Trump says, “fake news.” Americans themselves know little about America. Few travel within their own country.
