@RandPaul Kelley and I went to see the movie Reagan (based on Paul Kengor's book) this weekend. Well
worth your time. The movie brought back many memories. I was in Kansas City in 1976, at age 13, when my dad led the Texas delegates for Reagan… The movie's depiction of Reagan and Gorbachev reminded me of the hour I spent with Gorbachev in 2018. I asked Gorbachev how he came to realize the need for nuclear arms control. Gorbachev replied that as a young military man the army had him watch a depiction of what earth would look like after...

Paul spoke on the Senate floor ahead of the vote, below are excerpts from his remarks. “This year, the United States will spend over $6 trillion while only bringing in $4 trillion in revenue.

U.S. Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) has introduced the “Six Penny Plan,” a federal budget proposal aimed at balancing the nation’s finances within five years by cutting six cents from every dollar of projected spending. “Seven
years ago, we could balance our budget with a freeze in spending without cutting anything. Since then, our national debt has skyrocketed to over $35 trillion with $6.6 trillion just in the past four years. Americans across the nation are struggling to make ends meet while their government recklessly spends and fuels the inflation crisis,” said Dr. Paul. “The greatest threat to our national security...

QUESTION: Mr. Armstrong, Your sources are renowned. The
Commission on the National Defense Strategy report on the state of affairs globally agrees with you. Thank you for your undying efforts. I am sure you have probably reviewed this report as well. Do you have any comment or review? Your words here do not go unnoticed. Anonymous ANSWER: I am not sure this report has gained much press, if any.

Our discussion today with US Senator Rand Paul covers the censorship of opinions and ideas related to the pandemic, emphasizing the importance of free speech and the marketplace of ideas. This
conversation touches on the history and current state of bioweapons research, including concerns about the potential creation of highly infectious and deadly viruses and the need for independent oversight mechanisms. We also touch on the politicization of science and conflicts of interest during the pandemic, including the manipulation of scientific evidence by pharmaceutical companies and the multimillion-dollar grants by scientists who supported certain origins of the pandemic.

Rand Paul Wants Answers From TSA About Alleged Surveillance Abuses

| Aug 23 | Bradley Devlin
Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky is attempting to get to the bottom of the Transportation Security Administration’s watchlist and blacklist programs following several high-profile cases and whistleblowers scrutinizing these TSA systems. “Recent
disclosures from whistleblowers raise serious concerns that these mechanisms may have been improperly employed to target individuals based on their political views and participation in constitutionally protected activities, rather than legitimate security threat,” the Kentucky Republican wrote to TSA Administrator David Pekoske in a Wednesday letter shared with The Daily Signal. Former Hawaii Rep. Tulsi Gabbard is reportedly among the victims of this effort to surveil and control...

'Destruction of due process': Rand Paul leads dozens of senators condemning Trump ‘show trial’ in NY

Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., led 28 other Republicans in a scathing rebuke of Attorney General Merrick Garland and the New York "show trial" against former President Trump. "The conviction of President Trump in Manhattan is nothing short of the evisceration of the American judicial process," the lawmaker wrote in a Wednesday letter.
"In their zeal to imprison Donald Trump, Democrat prosecutors successfully dissolved the constitutional protections afforded to defendants and the barriers that protect every American from the abuses of arbitrary rule." "Even if we disregard Judge Juan Merchan’s financial contributions to Democratic candidates and causes, the prosecutors were permitted...

@RepThomasMassie The Republican House should, by an official vote of the House, declare the subpoenas on Bannon and Navarro to have been illegitimately issued, and vote to repeal them. @RandPaul
When the GOP took the House in 2020, I advocated keeping Jan 6committee with new members long enough to repeal subpoenas on Bannon and Navarro. No one listened then. Will they listen now?

WASHINGTON — Like every other Kentucky Republican on Capitol Hill, Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., criticized the New York criminal case that ended in a guilty verdict for former President Donald Trump. Paul posted on social media, “This verdict will tragically undermine Americans’ confidence in impartial justice. A
sad day for America.” Yet unlike Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., and most of the commonwealth’s Republican congressmen, Paul said he has not yet decided whether to endorse Trump. “I think that it’s important that if he wants to get my vote and my support and wants me to be more active...

Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) listed a set of standards former President Donald Trump has to meet before he takes an active role and endorses the presumptive GOP nominee. “When
we have agreed, I’ve been very supportive. When we have disagreed, I’ve also disagreed with him,” Paul said in an interview with Spectrum News. Before Paul can endorse Trump, the latter needs to be more outspoken on issues the Kentucky senator deems critical, he said. “I think that it’s important that if he wants to get my vote and my support, wants me to be more active in this, that he’s...

Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) questioned former President Trump's commitment to slashing government spending in a heated exchange with top Trump ally Russell Vought during a recent closed-door meeting, Axios has learned. Why
it matters: Paul is among a dwindling number of Republicans who've refused to publicly back the former president as the party's 2024 nominee. And those in Trump's orbit are getting antsy. "There's a growing sentiment in Trumpworld that Rand can't be trusted, and it's a great disappointment," Trump ally and consultant Alex Bruesewitz told Axios.

Donald Trump as an Ayn Rand Hero

American Thinker ^

Like Howard Roark and Henry Rearden, Donald Trump is a flawed but epically heroic figure. Like
many young people decades ago, I was exposed to the works of Ayn Rand, the famous novelist who escaped Bolshevik Russia in 1925 after experiencing the oppressiveness and dangers of collectivism. In high school, our class was assigned to read The Fountainhead, Rand’s seminal novel about architect Howard Roark. Roark is a talented, fiercely independent architect who is constantly held back by both mediocre, weak individuals such as career-climber architect Peter Keating and by powerful institutions represented by media mogul Ellsworth Toohey. Roark is...

While there are a lot of choices, the early betting is on a Capitol Hill firebrand uniquely poised to bring in the libertarian wing of the GOP, which could provide a bump of 3% to 4% of the vote. “There
are only two realistic GOP nominees: Donald Trump or Ron DeSantis,” Since neither is likely to pick the other as a running mate, the adviser offered libertarian Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) as a good fit.

Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., contends there are grounds to prosecute Dr. Anthony Fauci, the face of the COVID-19 pandemic in America, based on congressional testimony from a top aide to the longtime director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. “The most important knowledge that we learned is that [Dr.]
David Morens, 20-year assistant to Fauci, was purposely evading FOIA, which is the law. More than that, he was also destroying evidence,” Paul told The Daily Signal, referring to the Freedom of Information Act and Morens’ testimony Wednesday before a House select subcommittee. “He was taking emails and...

Dr. David Morens, following an investigation by the House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic. "David Morens is basically Anthony Fauci's fixer. He's been there with him for two decades.

A Utah Senate candidate who vowed to "push back against the establishment" if he's elected has earned the support of Sen.
