Former presidential hopeful Ron Paul doesnt think the recent stock market bull run will last much longer.

"I think they're realizing that the euphoria has passed," Paul recently told CNBC's "Futures Now."

A record-setting rally for stocks in the wake of Trump's November election stalled somewhat this month, with some investors pointing to risks to Trump's agenda, including tax reform, after his fellow Republicans failed to pass a healthcare bill.

The former Texas Republican congressman said markets will head lower this year. According to Paul, Trump has taken a "risky position" in claiming credit for the postelection market rally because Washington is largely unchanged, especially in light of Trump's failure to pass his health-care bill.

While stocks didn't immediately sell off after the bill was pulled, all three major indexes dropped on Monday before recovering much of the losses prior to the close. Still, the Dow did extend its eight-day losing streak, its longest since 2011, and investors were left wondering if Trump's other key agenda items, namely tax reform, will succeed, CNBC explained.

Paul believes tax reform won't go through because of excessive government spending.

"We live way beyond our means, debt is out of control and I don't believe we really recovered from the last recession," said Paul. "So they don't have much loot to divvy up, and not that many benefits in the tax cuts."

Across the globe, there is not a single hot spot where the Trump Administration is not escalating conflict. Drone strikes are up over 400 percent. Civilian deaths are skyrocketing in Iraq and Syria after stepped-up US bombardment. The Pentagon says it needs thousands more troops for Afghanistan and more military participation in the horrible war on Yemen. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson said in South Korea that all options are on the table with regards to North Korea, which suggests even a first-strike nuclear weapon is on the table. More artillery is being moved to Russias border. By increasing US military involvement in every single area of tension is the President working to make us safer, or are we one accident away from a major, possibly world, war? A survey of US military escalation in todays Ron Paul Liberty Report:

THEYRE SPYING ON ALL OF US!

There was high drama last week when Rep. Devin Nunes announced at the White House that he had seen evidence that the communications of the Donald Trump campaign people, and perhaps even Trump himself, had been incidentally collected by the US government.

If true, this means that someone authorized the monitoring of Trump campaign communications using Section 702 of the FISA Act. Could it have been then-President Obama? We dont know. Could it have been other political enemies looking for something to harm the Trump campaign or presidency? It is possible.

There is much we do not yet know about what happened and there is probably quite a bit we will never know. But we do know several very important things about the government spying on Americans.

First there is Section 702 itself. The provision was passed in 2008 as part of a package of amendments to the 1978 FISA bill. As with the PATRIOT Act, we were told that we had to give the government more power to spy on us so that it could catch terrorists. We had to give up some of our liberty for promises of more security, we were told. We were also told that the government would only spy on the bad guys, and that if we had nothing to hide we should have nothing to fear.

We found out five years later from Edward Snowden that the US government viewed Section 702 as a green light for the mass surveillance of Americans. Through programs he revealed, like PRISM, the NSA is able to collect and store our Internet search history, the content of our emails, what files we have shared, who we have chatted with electronically, and more.

Thats why people like NSA whistleblower William Binney said that we know the NSA was spying on Trump because it spies on all of us!

Ironically, FISA itself was passed after the Church Committee Hearings revealed the abuses, criminality, and violations of our privacy that the CIA and other intelligence agencies had been committing for years. FISA was supposed to rein in the intelligence community but, as is often the case in Washington, it did the opposite: It ended up giving the government even more power to spy on us.

So President Trump might have been wiretapped by Barack Obama, as he claimed, but unfortunately he will not draw the right conclusions from the violation. He will not see runaway spying on Americans as a grotesque attack on American values. That is unfortunate, because this could have provided a great teaching moment for the president. Seeing how all of us are vulnerable to this kind of government abuse, President Trump could have changed his tune on the PATRIOT Act and all government attacks on our privacy. He could have stood up for liberty, which is really what makes America great.

Section 702 of the FISA Act was renewed in 2012, just before we learned from Snowden how it is abused. It is set to expire this December unless Congress extends it again. Knowing what we now know about this anti-American legislation we must work hard to prevent its renewal. They will try to scare us into supporting the provision, but the loss of our liberty is what should scare us the most!

Ron Paul: Did the government spy on Trump? Of course, it spies on all of us - Tulsa World

Cassandra was a mythological prophetess who became world-renowned for being the bearer of bad news. But because even the daughter of Priam and Hecuba cant be expected to carry the entire load, the former 12-term congressman and perennial presidential candidate, Ron Paul, has stepped forward to lend a hand.

The first time I realized that Mr. Paul had traded a life in politics for one as a doom-and-gloom huckster was when he began popping up on TV shilling for Frank Porter Stansberrys financial advisory outfit, where his message was: Were on the verge of the complete destruction of our economic system, and theres not much time for you to prepare. He advised us all to send away for one of Mr. Stansberrys over-priced investment guides, which advocated buying gold. He neglected to mention that Stansberry had been hit in the past with a $1.5 million fine by the SEC for engaging in securities fraud.

Not satisfied with painting a bleak future in which Americas economy would inevitably go belly up, I just heard Mr. Paul on my car radio clearly suggesting that the Apocalypse is on the horizon and that we had better prepare by stocking up on Harvest Right Freeze Dryers.

Between the financial meltdown and the nuclear holocaust that the former congressman envisions, one would assume that he must be the most pessimistic of men, the sort of guy one usually encounters in cartoons dressed in sackcloth and bearing a sign announcing The End is Near.

But even midst the dark clouds Mr. Paul painted, one could catch a glimmer of a silver lining. After all, if we saw the future through his eyes, wouldnt we at least contemplate suicide? But, wait, right there, in the midst of the Harvest Right pitch, Mr. Paul is letting us know that he got his freeze dryer because it can keep any food, including ice cream, delicious for 25 years.

Okay, perhaps I wouldnt want to be first in line to try a dish of chocolate swirl that had been sitting around for a quarter of a century, but when a guy whos 81-years-old suggests that hell be ready to dig in when hes 106, I know an optimist when I hear one.

Not since Geraldo Rivera garnered Super Bowl-size ratings for the opening of Al Capones empty vault has a non-event been as over-hyped as Rachel Maddows sharing two pages of Donald Trumps 2005 tax return on her MSNBC show.

She obviously thought she would somehow drive Trump out of office with the illegally-obtained bombshell. But, it proved to be a total dud. The only thing she exposed was how desperate she is to achieve ratings parity with Fox News.

Clearly, she must have been aware that it was an exercise in futility. After all, what did we learn? Well, for one thing, it showed that in 2005, Mr. Trump made $150 million, so he actually is as rich as he says he is. For another, it showed that despite taking a huge loss in the 1990s, he hadnt gone 18 or 19 years, as had been rumored, without paying income taxes. Instead, he had paid the IRS $38 million, which meant he was paying at a rate of about 25%. Which, by the way, compared favorably to the 19% and 13% paid respectively in 2016 by Barack Obama and Bernie Sanders, two schmucks who never got tired of complaining about wealthy Republicans not paying their fair share.

The best news of all is that the 150 million was all in the form of American dollars, and not a single ruble.

Still, I couldnt help thinking that he was paying way too much, and that perhaps I should recommend my accountant to President Trump.

If theres one thing that leftists enjoy even more than rioting in the streets and shouting down Republicans on college campuses, its bolstering each others self-esteem. Just a partial list of the partisan awards they hand out on an annual basis, and which no conservative should even fantasize winning, are Oscars, Emmys, Grammys, Tonys, Golden Globes, the Peoples Choice, Peabodys, Pulitzers and Nobel Peace Prizes.

I just learned of another. Its an award for excellence in journalism, so naturally it carries the name of the man who set the standard for blatant partisanship that ultimately led to the rise and fall of such pinheads as Dan Rather and Brian Williams; namely, Walter Cronkite.

Naming a journalism award after Cronkite, the left-wing propagandist who did everything in his considerable power to ensure that the U.S. would not defeat the North Vietnamese, would be like bestowing a patriotism medal bearing the name and likeness of Benedict Arnold.

Not too surprisingly, the 2017 honoree was Jose Ramos, the anchor for the Spanish-language TV network Univision, who declared during the presidential campaign that journalists shouldnt be neutral and objective in reporting on the monster known as Donald Trump.

If the name sounds familiar, but you cant place his face, you might remember Senor Ramos as the loudmouth advocate for open borders who kept shouting questions at Donald Trump during a campaign rally until he was ushered out of the arena by security personnel.

And that, my friends, is how a political operative cops a journalism award in 2017.

When I declared a while back that I tended not to enjoy jokes because I could usually spot the punchlines long before they arrived, a lot of you apparently took it as a personal challenge.

The jokes keep coming. In most cases, a child could spot the payoff from a mile off. But it seems only fair to share the few that caught me by surprise. The latest, which I only anticipated near the very end, was submitted by Dr. Richard Stiso, the pride of Florham Park, New Jersey.

Yossel Zelkovitz worked in a Polish pickle factory. For many years, he had an overwhelming desire to put his penis in the pickle slicer. Unable to fight the urge any longer, he sought professional help from the factory psychologist.

After six months, the therapist threw up his hands. Believing that Yossel was on the verge of insanity and would otherwise never again experience peace of mind, he advised him to go ahead and do it.

The next day, Yossel came home so early, his wife, Sacha, became alarmed and demanded to know what had happened.

Tearfully, Yossel confessed his tormenting desire to put his penis in the pickle slicer. He said that today he had gone ahead and done it.

Sacha gasped in horror and ran to her husband. She quickly yanked down his pants and shorts only to find a normal, completely intact penis.

She looked up and said: I dont understand. What about the pickle slicer?

Yossel shrugged, and replied: I think she got fired, too.

My publisher has asked me to announce that my two recent books, The Story of My Life and Angels on Tap, are now available on Kindle. He assured me that most of you would know what that meant.

House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes (R-CA) dropped a bombshell yesterday when he revealed that members of the Trump campaign staff possibly including Trump himself had their communications intercepted by US intelligence. The surveillance was likely undertaken under expanded spying permission granted by section 702 of the post-9/11 FISA amendments. This provision enables the NSA to listen in to and keep information from phone calls of US citizens as long as the person on the other end is believed to be a non-US citizen overseas. The possibilities for abusing this expanded authority for political or other gain are endless and this may be what is behind the latest revelations. Politicians dont mind when we are spied on by the government, but they scream loudest when they are the victims. Whats the solution? Tune in to todays Ron Paul Liberty Report:

Comey Lied? Trump Vindicated? Ron Paul says Nobody's Safe From PATRIOT Act - Antiwar.com (blog)

Invoking claims of illegally printed paper money, the use of gold in the Bible and even foreign entanglements, former Congressman Ron Paul urged Arizona lawmakers last week to let coin collectors and investors escape the state's capital gains tax.

Paul, a three-time presidential hopeful, told members of the Senate Finance Committee it's not fair or even legal from his perspective for the government to take its share when someone who bought a coin at $300 later sells it for $1,200.

He said the value of the coin really remains the same. It's the value of that paper money - money he contends is "fraud'' - that's gone down.

Paul's testimony helped buttress similar claims by Rep. Mark Finchem, R-Oro Valley, who already has ushered the tax break in HB 2014 through the House. The result was the Senate panel giving its OK on a 4-3 party-line vote and sending it to the full Senate.

But the real hurdle remains Republican Gov. Doug Ducey who vetoed similar measures in 2015 and again last year saying he feared the unintended consequences of such a change in tax law.

That isn't a unique concern. In 2013, Republican Jan Brewer also used her veto stamp.

"This would result in lost revenue to the state, while giving businesses that buy and sell collectible coins or current originally authorized by Congress an unfair advantage,'' she wrote at the time.

That was exactly the complaint made by Sen. Steve Farley, D-Tucson, in urging colleagues to kill the measure.

He said the legislation would make sense if a $20 gold piece sold for $20 in what most people recognize as legal currency. But what it sells for, Farley said, is based on a combination of the amount of precious metal, the condition of the coin and the demand for what might be a rare coin.

"So to give someone a capital gains tax break on the money they make in money you would call dishonest money from selling that coin seems like just simply a tax giveaway that other people would be paying for because we're going to need to get enough money to pay for our roads and schools anyway,'' Farley said.

"Why does the government need the money is the big question,'' Paul said. Anyway, he said, if the government needs money it should tax people "more honestly'' than by making them pay capital gains for their efforts to protect themselves against inflation.

Farley, for his part, said the flaw in the arguments by supporters of the legislation is that somehow the type of investment decision should govern its tax liability.

"There's a lot of places people can decide to invest their money as a hedge against inflation,'' he said.

"You can invest it in stocks, you can invest it in real estate, your house, a lot of other things,'' Farley continued. "That also goes up in value over time and that represents, at least in some part, inflation.''

The difference here, Farley said, is that people pay capital gains taxes taxed when they sell a stock or any other investment for a profit; this bill creates a special exemption for gold and silver coins.

One thing the panel did not consider is what would be the cost to the state of such an exemption.

No one was able to provide a figure of the tax implications of such an exemption.

The closest they came was in testimony by Keith Weiner, who runs Monetary Metals, a Scottsdale-based firm that helps people invest in gold. He figured the loss to the state to be minimal, about $100,000 a year.

The Tax Policy Center in a report last month said Utah is the only state that already has such an exemption.

How does a voter go from supporting a relatively libertarian Republican to enthusiastically backing Donald Trump? Thomas Massie, a Kentucky congressman widely seen as one of the House's more libertarian members, offers a theory to the Washington Examiner:

"All this time," Massie explained, "I thought they were voting for libertarian Republicans. But after some soul searching I realized when they voted for Rand and Ron and me in these primaries, they weren't voting for libertarian ideasthey were voting for the craziest son of a bitch in the race. And Donald Trump won best in class, as we had up until he came along."

I should note that Massie himself wound up endorsing Trump over Clinton, though not exactly enthusiastically. "I think you're more likely to get change," he said last August. "I don't know if it's gonna be a good change, but you gotta break eggs to make an omelette." I suppose that's not so far from saying Trump was the craziest son of a bitch in the race.
