Ron Paul Institute Hosting ‘War is Back on the Menu’ Conference in Texas

Ron Paul is heading to Lake Jackson, Texas, to host an event called War is Back on the Menu, featuring several critics of the Iran war, including former Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene.

Paul formerly served in the U.S. House representing Texas’s 22^nd congressional district and was also a three-time presidential candidate – first, as a Libertarian nominee in 1988, and later as a Republican candidate in 2008 and 2012.

The Ron Paul Institute for Peace and Prosperity is hosting its spring conference on April 25, 2026, at 8:30 A.M. CT at the Dow Academic Center. So far, four speakers have been announced, with “several more” expected soon.

Daniel McAdams, Executive Director of the Ron Paul Institute for Peace and Prosperity, who previously served as Paul’s foreign affairs advisor from 2001 until his retirement in 2012, will deliver a talk titled The War on War Reporting.

Brian McGlinchey, the founder of 28Pages.org, will give a talk titled How the US-Israel Relationship Weakens America and Harms the World.

Professor Robert Pape, an American political scientist, will give a talk titled Iran and the Escalation Trap: Avoiding a Future of Forever Wars in the Middle East.

Finally, Marjorie Taylor Greene – who has become a vocal critic of the Trump administration since leaving office – is also scheduled to speak at the conference.

Event details note that President Donald Trump “bypassed Congress and started the biggest war perhaps since Vietnam against an Iran that had neither attacked nor threatened the United States.”

“Oil prices have shot through the roof and the costs to American taxpayers of the war has already run into the tens of billions. A ‘war supplemental’ of $50 billion is reportedly being prepared and the US debt increase will accelerate,” the event details further note.

The conference comes amid rising tension between the United States and Iran following the Trump administration’s recent military escalation.

This week, the Pentagon ordered the deployment of 82^nd Airborne Division paratroopers into the Middle East, which has raised eyebrows after Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL) previously asserted that the Trump administration had no intention of having “boots on the ground.”
