THE KY FALLOUT
Remember, the vote for Gallrein was historically a virtual impossibility. Here is a reminder of how few people attended his “election night rally”
WAR - US POLITICS - ISRAELI INFLUENCETED CRUZ, the perfect example, neglects to mention that Israel and the US gave millions to Hamas, that Israel has prompted the US to make more enemies in the Middle East than the US would have if not allied with Israel, that Israel is an illegal occupation and genocide state sitting on other people’s land, kidnapping women and kids, torturing them, starving them, bombing them (in Palestine, the West Bank, and Lebanon) and kidnapping sailors in international waters, then torturing them. Cruz also neglects to mention that the US Constitution doesn’t allow for any of this “aid” when not at War.
Evidently, Cruz supports this kind of twisted mindset.
GAZAThe Sumud Flotilla members are showing numerous signs of beatings, torture. And they are testifying to suffering at the hands of the Israeli kidnappers. Here is Antiwar on it LINK
Here is some key reporting on Israeli Influence in the US Media- Headline “U.S.: New Data Highlights AIPAC Ties to the U.S., Israeli Governments - DAWN” LINK
A reminder of the genocide
- LEBANON
IRANThis embedded video we are placing here is from RT, and offers key insight into the territorial claims Iran and Oman have over the Strait of Hormuz, and more
-Trump claims Netanyahu will do whatever he wants - implying that each time Israel engaged in war crimes, genocide, land grabs, and assassinations in any nation, those were prompted by the US.
We did not get to discuss this last night on Liberty Conspiracy, but it signifies the astounding double-standards of Trump and his team. When Raul Castro led Cuba’s Defense force and the conflict cited by the US occurred, Castro and his government repeatedly had warned the US not to send planes over Cuban airspace. The internals within the US government showed that intel figures warned against it, yet Trump now wants to prosecute the 94-year-old for his actions — this, the Trump Admin that freely has killed nearly 120 people in the Caribbean and eastern Pacific, far outside of US airspace or waters, without any trial, this, the US gang that has engaged in international assassinations, blockades, and killing of 170 children in Iran (and more in Iran)… WOW - Headline from ANTIWAR “Trump Administration Indicts Cuba’s Former President, Setting Up Pretext for War - News From Antiwar.com” LINK Daniel McAdams and Ron Paul offer key details on the situation at the time. LINK
And, of course, for Trump, it’s all to “help” Cuba (even though the US has impoverished the people and blocked us from trading with them, in addition to the collectivist economics of Cuba being not-so-smart in the first place)
Gas prices could reach record highs this summer, according to GasBuddy, with the national average projected to hit $4.48 a gallon by Memorial Day and climb to $4.80 over the summer amid the growing Iran conflict. This, likely, is underestimation, especially if the US hits Iran again and Iran retaliates against the UAE, Saudis, and Bahrain. Such a scenario also likely would see the Ansar Allah folks in Yemen help Iran by closing the Red Sea… Prices for a gallon of gas by November likely would average over $8.50 per gallon.
RUSSIA-CHINA - Making great strides to open marketsAs we mentioned on Liberty Conspiracy Live, last night, Washington’s central planners have done it again. By years of sanctions, proxy meddling, and economic strong-arming aimed at isolating Russia, U.S. officials have helped push Moscow and Beijing into what may become the most consequential economic and strategic alignment outside the Western system. It is the textbook case of state coercion producing the precise opposite of its intended result. Instead of weakening Russia, the barrage of political barriers and financial pressure has accelerated a deeper partnership between the two powers. This week Presidents Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping signed a broad array of agreements covering energy, finance, artificial intelligence, transportation, manufacturing, and military coordination. Among the most significant moves is renewed momentum on the Power of Siberia 2 pipeline project, which would permanently redirect large volumes of Russian energy away from Europe and toward China. At the same time, the two nations are expanding trade outside the dollar system and constructing financial channels explicitly designed to bypass Western sanctions and banking leverage. What is emerging is not simply more commerce, but a parallel economic architecture spanning Eurasia—one built on mutual benefit rather than political command. The contrast with President Trump’s recent agreements with China is telling. Those deals were largely transactional: tariff pauses, agricultural purchases, and efforts to stabilize markets. The Putin-Xi framework goes further, laying long-term infrastructure, integrated industrial systems, alternative payment rails, and technological cooperation meant to reduce dependence on Western institutions altogether. Europe, meanwhile, continues to absorb the costs of the very policies that helped produce this outcome: elevated energy prices, deindustrialization, sluggish growth, and debt pressure. What Western strategists once feared most—a durable Russia-China economic axis capable of challenging the established order—now takes clearer shape as a direct consequence of interventionist overreach. When governments substitute coercion for voluntary exchange, market participants and sovereign actors simply find new routes around the obstacles. The result is rarely the tidy control the planners imagined. Read more on how sanctions often backfire from a libertarian perspective. Judge Napolitano and Pepe Escobar go into it in depth. Great stuff from them!
THE TRUMP ADMIN SETTLES W TRUMP TO HAND IRS MONEY TO TRUMP FRIENDSWhen we got to play Judge Napolitano with Phil Giraldi discussing Hegseth’s appearance in KY to campaign for Gallrein, Phil mentioned Trump handing $1.7 Billion in IRS confiscated-to-be-returned funds to his friends. I had planned on expanding on that to offer context. Judge Napolitano does it, right here. Headline “Do we still have a Constitution?” LINK
FREE SPEECH- Last fall, Larry Bushart (a 61-year-old retired police officer from Tennessee) posted several memes on Facebook in the comments of a thread about a local candlelight vigil for Charlie Kirk (who was assassinated in September 2025). And one meme led to his arrest. It showed:
A photo of President Donald Trump
The quote: “We have to get over it”
Text explaining that Trump made the comment one day after the Perry High School mass shooting in Iowa
Bushart added the caption: “This seems relevant today…”He posted it in a local Facebook group/thread honoring Kirk, apparently as a critical or satirical counterpoint to the mourning and attention Kirk was receiving.He also shared other memes that criticized or joked about Kirk / Turning Point USA (which the sheriff later referred to as “hate memes”), but the Trump “We have to get over it” meme was the one authorities focused on. Perry County Sheriff Nick Weems claimed the post alarmed residents, who misinterpreted it as a threat of mass violence against the local Perry County High School in Tennessee (the shared “Perry” name caused confusion, even though the meme clearly referenced the Iowa shooting). Bushart was arrested in September, held on a $2 million bond, and spent 37 days in jail. The felony charge later was dropped. But, Bushart sued Perry County and the sheriff (with help from the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression — FIRE), arguing it was a First Amendment violation (technically, it is not a violation of the federal 1st A, since that only specifically prohibits Congress from abridging speech, and one has to look at the TN Constitution for a prohibition against the state interfering in speech - which you will find, here). In May 2026, he reached an $835,000 settlement with Tennessee officials. This is the core of what he posted, based on consistent reporting from CBS News, local outlets, PBS, and FIRE’s case description. The meme itself was not created by Bushart — he shared an existing one with his own caption. LINK
