Further excerpt:

"He is, they say, currently circulating a petition to go around the Senate leaders and force a vote on defunding Planned Parenthood anyway. Paul is calling pro life leaders to join him in this crusade, and some pro life leaders are already whispering that this may be the perfect time to strike at Planned Parenthood. If he succeeds, it would of course be a massive rebuke of McConnell’s leadership of the GOP majority in the Senate—and that it’s even come to this is extraordinary considering that McConnell and all Republicans nationwide just last year campaigned on the promise that giving Republicans the GOP majority in the Senate would mean the place would run differently from the way it ran under Reid’s leadership and Democratic control."

Love this. This boldness may have been keynoted by Mr
Trump. No one can knock what he has done if they want any move at all toward challenging the statist control of our land! Good going, Rand.

Fortunately you're not entirely accurate with that assessment. There are plenty of regimes in Africa, South America, and Asia who might vie for that title. Toss in a few ex-Soviet countries and then we would place but certainly not the most corrupt. Stupid and suicidal politicians perhaps, but most corrupt?

As long as people are still risking their lives to come here, it's worth coming to. That window is rapidly closing though.

I’ve never been a fan of scorched-earth politics but I’m beginning to believe that it’s an idea whose time has come.

"Senator Rand Paul Implements ‘Rule 14′ to Fast-Track His Bill to Defund Planned Parenthood

Jason Howerton Jul. 24, 2015 5:39pm

Following through on his vow to defund Planned Parenthood, Senator Rand Paul (R-Ky.) has introduced legislation to strip the abortion provider of federal funding. The bill is now being fast-tracked after the Kentucky senator invoked “Rule 14” on Friday, clearing the way for a floor vote as early as next week, a spokesman for the Rand Paul campaign confirmed to TheBlaze.

“Since the inhumane acts of Planned Parenthood have surfaced, I have vowed to defeat and defund this taxpayer-funded organization. I am more appalled than ever by Planned Parenthood’s complete disregard for the sanctity of human life,” Paul said in a statement. “Today, I implemented Rule 14 and fast-tracked legislation to strip every dollar of Planned Parenthood funding. I will continue to lead this charge in defense of the unborn.” As the The Hill explains, Rule 14 allows the legislation to “skip the committee process and be placed on the Senate calendar so it can be brought up for a floor vote.”

Looks like junior did good today.

He might be the third piece of the puzzle. I’m hoping Carly gets some religion on infanticide and joins up. She’d be a fine addition.
