So Romney and Cruz agree....more money for Ukraine and fuck the USA!

The Biden regime and it's allies in the corrupt congress have pushed through another 40 billion down the rathole that is the Ukraine. It's corrupt government that tried to destroy President Trump and enriched Hunter Biden and the Big Guy are getting their payoff. I wonder how much is going to stick to the fingers of the Biden crime family and the Ukraine government.

Neo-liberal site "Hot Air" has a post praising Romney and Cruz for falling in line to the duopoly and shipping pallets of cash to these corrupt cunts while babies are literally starving and illegals pour over our border and gas is going for more than 5 bucks a gallon. The permernat government and the uni-party have spoken and these cocksuckers fell right in line.

Only eleven patriots voted no in the Senate.

11 GOP NOs: Blackburn Boozman Braun Crapo Hagerty Hawley Lee Lummis Marshall Paul Tuberville

 Cruz has forfeited any claim to being a true conservative for the MAGA side of the aisle.  I don't want to hear any more bullshit about how conservative he is and what brilliant man he is because when you vote with Mitt Romney you are a dumb fuck.

SENATOR RAND PAUL (R-KY) - The most valuable politician in America

I have resisted taking this bogus vaccine to this point. Unfortunately I might have to do it since it is becoming impossible to operate in NYS without it. I could get a phony passport like several of my friends have but I have to worry about the people in the house who might get it if I do.

I am vulnerable to blood clots. I have to take a blood thinner so taking a vaccine that throws f clots is not something I want to do. But we are going to some weddings and other events that require a vaccination. We have been staying home but eventually we are forced to interact with other people so I guess I have to bite the bullet and take a shot.

After all the fucked up places I have been in my life it will be very ironic if a vaccine takes me out. If nobody posts here for a few weeks you will know that Fauci did me in.

I respect what Rand Paul is saying but he is barking up the wrong tree. Not enough people will resist. Not in deep blue states anyway. So if you are a prisoner here like me you have no choice. You have to conform to the Borg or be obliterated. 

But I wish all of you who live in free states well and hope you can continue to fight for our freedoms.

Chief Justice Roberts Declines To Read Question From Sen. Rand Paul

My favorite senator Rand Paul submitted the following question:

My exact question was:
Are you aware that House intelligence committee staffer Shawn Misko had a close relationship with Eric Ciaramella while at the National Security Council together
and are you aware and how do you respond to reports that Ciaramella and Misko may have worked together to plot impeaching the President before there were formal house impeachment proceedings.

The Chief Justice decide on his own prerogative that he would disallow this question. Why? To protect the Democrats case of course. 

It has long been rumored that the Democrats have something on Roberts. The assumption is it has something to do with the adoption of some of his children that was not quite kosher. It was the reason why he invented a "tax" to save Obamacare. I think they have something there.

After this impeachment is over I think we should have another one.  Just sayn'

Rand Paul is my kind of Senator.

Rand Paul has advised GOP Rhino weenies that if they call John Bolton he is going to call Hunter Biden. Now we know that Pierre Delecto and that Alaskan cunt want to give the Democrats everything they want but simple fairness would dictate that if the Democrats get to call witnesses then so too can the President. He can call anyone he wants. The Senate will not get to dictate who is "relevant" and who is not.

Paul states: Paul says if four or more of his GOP colleagues join with Democrats to entertain new witness testimony, he will make the Senate vote on subpoenaing the president’s preferred witnesses, including Hunter Biden and the whistleblower who revealed the Ukraine scandal — polarizing picks who moderate Republicans aren’t eager to call. So he has a simple message for his party: end the trial before witnesses are called.

“If you vote against Hunter Biden, you’re voting to lose your election, basically. Seriously. That’s what it is,” Paul said during an interview in his office on Wednesday. “If you don’t want to vote and you think you’re going to have to vote against Hunter Biden, you should just vote against witnesses, period.”…

If “some Republicans help Democrats get witnesses and there are no witnesses for the president, I think the end result is a revolutionary tide against those people,” Paul said. “I can’t imagine that [Trump] will let it go by if someone votes to bring in witnesses that his administration isn’t interested in.”

A "revolutionary tide." Now that's a nice turn of phrase.

I think if there are witnesses they should call them all. Bolton. This new asshole from the Rachael Maddow show. The whistleblower. Hunter Biden. Pelosi's kids. Kerry's kid. Every kid sucking from the government tit. Lets put it all on the table and let the people decide.

If they think they can only call pro-impeachment witnesses they have another thing coming.

Revolution indeed.

"Rand Paul on Tennessee Terror: Restrict Immigration from Muslim Nations"

"Paul said in an interview backstage at a rally his presidential campaign is holding inside the Hyatt Regency here in downtown Houston:"

I’m very concerned about immigration to this country from countries that have hotbeds of jihadism and hotbeds of this Islamism. There was a program in place that Bush had put in place—it stood for entry-exit program from about 25 different countries with a lot of Islamic radicals, frankly. I think there does need to be heightened scrutiny. Nobody has a right to come to America, so this isn’t something that we can say ‘oh their rights are being violated.’ It’s a privilege to come to America and we need to thoroughly screen those who are coming.

"Orange County Public Schools to monitor students on social media"

"The Orange County school district is now monitoring students' social media messages in an effort to curb cyberbullying, crime on campus and suicide."

"This is a tool that gives the district intelligence into a situation that could possibly prevent something more serious from happening," Orange County Public Schools Senior Director of Safety and Security Doug Tripp said.

"Safety in and around school campuses is the top priority for Orange County school leaders," OCPS said in a news release. "Recognizing social media is a major communication system, the district has acquired social media monitoring software."

Wait until Rand Paul finds out about this.

Hillary’s campaign announcement watch

Rand Paul is selling a Hillary Clinton hard drive

Rand Paul declares

RTT News: "Rick Perry and Rand Paul squared off in dueling U.S. foreign policy op-ed"

"As a veteran, and as a governor who has supported Texas National Guard deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan, I can understand the emotions behind isolationism," Perry wrote.

He added, "Many people are tired of war, and the urge to pull back is a natural, human reaction. Unfortunately, we live in a world where isolationist policies would only endanger our national security even further."

Perry claimed that Paul seems "curiously blind" to the national security threat posed by the group now calling itself the Islamic State, which controls significant territory in Iraq and Syria.

"Ignoring the growth of the Islamic State and events in Syria and Iraq will only ensure that the problem will fester and grow," Perry wrote. "The United States needs to take seriously the threat this presents to our nation."

However, Paul shot back in a separate op-ed piece posted by Politico on Monday, accusing Perry of mischaracterizing his views on foreign policy.

"There are many things I like about Texas Gov. Rick Perry, including his stance on the Tenth Amendment to the Constitution," Paul wrote. "But apparently his new glasses haven't altered his perception of the world, or allowed him to see it any more clearly."

"I support continuing our assistance to the government of Iraq, which include armaments and intelligence," Paul wrote. "I support using advanced technology to prevent ISIS from becoming a threat."

"I also want to stop sending U.S. aid and arms to Islamic rebels in Syria who are allied with ISIS, something Perry doesn't even address," he added. "I would argue that if anything, my ideas for this crisis are both stronger, and not rooted simply in bluster."

A recent Quinnipiac University National Poll showed Paul with a slight lead in the race for the GOP nomination, with 11 percent of Republican and Republican-leaning voters saying they support the Kentucky Senator.

New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee and former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush were all tied for second at 10 percent, while Perry was toward the bottom of the list a 3 percent.

NYT: Rand Paul Diverges From His Party Over Voter ID

"Senator Rand Paul of Kentucky broke Friday with fellow Republicans who have pushed for stricter voting laws as a way to crack down on fraud at the polls, saying that the focus on such measures alienates and insults African-Americans and hurts the party."

“Everybody’s gone completely crazy on this voter ID thing,” Mr. Paul said in an interview. “I think it’s wrong for Republicans to go too crazy on this issue because it’s offending people.” (read more)

2 Paragraphs: Cliven Bundy Is Angry—Just Like the Rest of Us

"Rand Paul wants us to focus calmly on the issue of whether governmental authority has exceeded its legitimate scope. In an all-or-nothing world where the federal government dwarfs everything, that’s a tall order. Democrats dig in their heels, certain that ceding ground to “the crazies” will set a dangerous precedent of retreat. Republicans cling to real-life examples of “out-of-control government,” whatever the risk to their reputation, because they know that abstract ideals just aren’t enough to inspire Americans to restore limited government."

"Paul is right that we must deal with the Bundy crisis in the spirit of neighborly forbearance. To do so, however, we need to turn our gaze away from politics for a moment. For devout Christians—and not just the devout—Easter weekend is an especially propitious time to do exactly that. Before religion was conscripted into the nationalization of all political issues, more of us could see clearly that the realms of church and of faith ameliorated the burdensome work of forgiving enemies, reconciling with foes, and recognizing one another as beings plunged up to our necks in the same hard predicaments."

"Rand Paul gets standing ovation at Berkeley: ‘Your right to privacy is under assault’"

"Delivering a rare speech for a Republican at this bastion of liberalism, Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul on Wednesday was given multiple standing ovations by the left-wing audience after railing against government surveillance and warning the students: “Your right to privacy is under assault.”

“I am here to tell you that if you own a cell phone, you’re under surveillance,” he told the crowd.

Paul’s address at the Berkeley Forum on the campus of the University of California at Berkeley focused on the National Security Agency’s collection of telephone metadata and the debate over privacy.

During his remarks, the potential 2016 Republican candidate discussed California Sen. Dianne Feinstein’s claim that the CIA had spied on her congressional staff, and announced that he plans to call for a special committee on Capitol Hill to investigate the domestic spying by government agencies .

“No one should be allowed to invade your privacy,” Paul said. “That’s why I’m announcing today that when I return to Washington, I will push for a select committee styled after the Church Committee that investigated the abuses of power of the intelligence committee in the 70s. It should be bipartisan. It should be independent, and wide reaching. It should have full power to investigate and reform those who spy on us in the name of protecting us.”

Added Paul: “It should watch the watchers.”

Meanwhile, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg has been lying (apparently) about his knowledge of the NSA domestic spying programs.

"Rand Paul: Democrats Should Be ‘Embarrassed’ To Be Seen With Bill Clinton"

"Speaking to Fox News Tuesday, the Kentucky Republican and potential 2016 White House contender said that the Democrats are mistaking Clinton’s popularity after the former president spoke at a campaign rally for Alison Lundergan Grimes, the Democrat challenger to Sen. Mitch McConnell."

“We have a lot of conservative Democrats in our state who go to church each week and really don’t approve of his behavior, what he has done with sexual harassment in the workplace,” Paul said, referencing the Monica Lewinsky scandal. “A lot of Democrats in our state don’t approve of that kind of behavior.”

Paul, who previously called Clinton a “serial philanderer,” thinks it’s a mistake for Democrats to view Clinton as some type of role model.

Talking about Clinton’s appearance at Grimes’ rally, Paul said Democrats should return money he has raised and that they should be “embarrassed” to be seen with him.

“I think he’s a bad role model for the workplace, for women’s rights, for all of that, and I think really they ought to be a little embarrassed to be associated or being seen with him,” Paul stated.

I love that Rand Paul is not afraid of the Clintons. Nobody else has ever talked like that about them. It's refreshing. Go after them Senator!

ADDED - I just remember why Paul's tone strikes a chord with me. Do you remember what Bill Clinton said, back when he first ran? How a vote for him would mean two, himself and Hillary, for one?

From a book review, For Love of Politics: Bill and Hillary, the White House Years. 

Sally Bedell Smith's book, published in 2007, is a year-by-year account of how effectively Bill and Hillary work together to win elections, achieve political and policy goals, and contain scandal. In the author's own words, the book explores "how two intelligent, ambitious, and complex people confronted the challenges they faced in the White House, how they worked together and seperately, and how the push and pull of their marriage affected the presidency."

The main point of the book is the idea of "two for one," almost a co-presidency, and less overtly, both Bill's and Hillary's use of the word "we" when describing policy positions and achievements.

Going after Bill, politically, is the same as going after Hillary, because they've sold themselves to the voters as one entity from the beginning. So, that's how Rand Paul is going about attacking them politically. It's brilliant.

"Is Hillary Clinton Too Old to Run?"

Before Obama and Bush 43, there was the Clintons, as Rand Paul so cleverly (some would say deviously) reminded us, of the Clinton Fatigue, almost everyone who follows politics, admitted having at that time. The days that turned into months, covering the Monica Lewinsky chapter, of the Clintons life in the public eye. Those days may have long passed into the recesses of our minds. Do we summon the energy to recover them again, a la Mia, Woody and Dylan, or do we let someone else, with youth and vigor, have a chance to run and make new richly entertaining mistakes?

From a National Journal Article...

Is Hillary Clinton really a 100 percent lock to run? I think it is a pretty good bet, maybe 70 percent chance or so; but that also means there is an approximately 30 percent chance that she doesn't throw her hat in the ring. The current political environment certainly argues on behalf of a Clinton run, and it would be very difficult—but not impossible—for anyone to beat her for the nomination. However, these choices can never be considered 100 percent political decisions. Clinton turns 67 this October. At that age, she will likely be making her candidacy decision, and if nominated Clinton would turn 69 two weeks before the 2016 general election, notably the same age Ronald Reagan was when he was first elected in 1980. The choice to run for president is effectively a nine-year commitment: one year to run, another four years if she wins a first term—finishing up that term at age 73—and then, assuming she runs for reelection and wins, serving four more years to end a second term at 77 years of age. None of this is to say that the age issue could successfully be used against her. After all, Reagan won the presidency at the same age. But how many 67-year-olds make nine-year commitments, and what concerns have to be addressed if they do?

According to The Atlantic, during her tenure as secretary of State, Clinton traveled for 401 days to 112 countries, totaling 956,733 miles, a distance equal to more than 38 times around the globe; wags have taken to calling it "odometer diplomacy." But also worth noting is how in Secretary Clinton's last year at her post, particularly the last few months at the State Department, the position clearly took a toll on her health; she experienced an episode of fainting or passing out, and suffered a head injury. None of this necessarily is to argue against her running, but she would be undertaking something that, as she well knows, is considerably more physically demanding even than her previous position, and at an older age. This is not necessarily an end-all-be-all argument that she should or would not run, simply that she likely would have to think long and hard as to whether she is physically up to the rigors of running and serving in office. Having run for president once before, and enduring two presidential campaigns and terms as a spouse, no one understands more clearly than Hillary does what the position demands. Do all of the people who say that she absolutely will run know and appreciate this as much as she obviously does? READ MORE

"FLASH: Rand Paul to Sue Obama over NSA Spying"

"Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) is leading a class-action lawsuit with hundreds of thousands of Americans against President Barack Obama’s National Security Agency (NSA) over its spying on the American people, Breitbart News has learned."

Sen. Paul will be discussing the lawsuit in an exclusive appearance on Fox News with host Eric Bolling at 10 PM ET on Friday. Breitbart News has learned that Paul will file the class action lawsuit soon in the D.C. District Court and that he will be filing it as an individual, not as a U.S. Senator.

Snowball chance? What do you think?

'Rand Paul wants Chief Justice Roberts to enroll in Obamacare'

"Arguing federal workers should not get special treatment, Rand Paul says he does not want taxpayers subsidizing the personal health care plans of any federal employee — including Chief Justice John Roberts — anymore."

“My amendment says basically that everybody including Justice Roberts — who seems to be such a fan of Obamacare — gets it too,” Paul told TheDC by phone on Sunday from Mackinac Island in Michigan, where he won a straw poll of potential Republican candidates for president in 2016.
“See, right now, Justice Roberts is still continuing to have federal employee health insurance subsidized by the taxpayer,” Paul said. “And if he likes Obamacare so much, I’m going to give him an amendment that gives Obamacare to Justice Roberts.”

Roberts famously voted to uphold the constitutionality of Obama’s unpopular health care law when it went before the Supreme Court last year."

Could Republican Senator Rand Paul win the White House?

This is the largest gif that I've ever allowed. If it causes a problem I'll take it down and link it. Or put it behind "read more" or whatever. I already removed half the frames. And I could take out more and reduce even more, but I don't want to because I love it.

It's cheesy and crudely done, I know,  but I still love, love it, love, and I love Rand Paul for being such a good sport. 

"Defund Obamacare"

Here are some pictures of yesterdays "Exempt America Rally" by Tea Party Patriots, held at the steps of the nations capitol, Washington DC.

On our way from the Union Station to the capitol grounds, we ran into former congressman Allen West. He said he was coming from a Heritage Foundation talk. He was very gracious, although his liaison, in the background, was visibly displeased that he was taking the time to talk to us and pose for pictures.

Former congressman Allen West

 

Once we were on the grounds, listening to the speakers, the pleased noise of recognition, coming from behind us, got our attention, we turned around and saw Senator Rand Paul coming through, approaching the check point for the speakers, shaking hands along the way. My phone battery had died by then, but my iPod's battery, still lived. By the time I turned the iPod on, however, Rand Paul had passed by. I did manage to tap him on the shoulder while telling him he was "my guy". I just said what came to my head. It occurred to me that I would catch him on his way back out. That plan fell through however, when Rand left the gathering from the opposite side from once he came. I saw the wisdom in that strategery. Rand Paul got to see more people up close that way.

Not far behind Rand Paul, along came Ted Cruz, with a bigger entourage, a camera crew with strapped leather heavy looking bags of equipment, with an overhead microphone shielded from the elements by an overgrown feline like thick coat of fibers. Ted is either running for something bigger and higher or is taking the air out of a robust campaign warchest. Unlike Rand Paul, Ted Cruz came in and out of the gathering via the same check point. Not too swift.
