We do our best to sort out conflicting interests and outcomes of this major turn of events in today's Liberty Report... read on...
How will President Trump's announcement that the US would recognize Jerusalem as Israel's capital affect US policy in the Middle East?

In August ten villagers in Somalia were killed in a military raid conducted by US and Somali troops. According to a recent investigation by the Daily Beast, they were killed by Americans. A subsequent Pentagon/AFRICOM investigation claimed that those killed were all enemy combatants. Who's telling the truth? But more importantly, why are American troops even operating in a country like Somalia. There are no legitimate threats to the US in Somalia. The only threats will come if the US continues to kill civilians, which leads to radicalization of the population. More in today's Liberty Report... read on...

Yet Americans put up with the groping and downright punching of private parts because they still believe the TSA keeps them safe. And when the TSA's own Inspector General tests how "safe" they keep us? Mock bombs get through 80-95 percent of the time. And when their miserable job performance becomes public? They demand even more money. In today's Liberty Report -- on the busiest travel day of the year -- we demand the end of the anti-American TSA and a return to the Fourth Amendment of our Constitution! read on...
