As long as the COVID-19 pandemic has been in the headlines, Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., has been fighting against the authoritarian mandates that have resulted from government bureaucracies.
Whether it has been questioning NIH director and media pariah Anthony Fauci or rallying behind movements that protest against policies that have hurt small businesses and even children, Paul has been as consistent as any elected official in the country when it has come to being correct on these issues.
Paul has continued to be proven right as well. The CDC eventually came around to agreeing with him about cloth masks offering the least protection against infection and that the NIH helped fund practices that potentially led to the spread of the COVID-19 virus.
Back in 2021, Paul even introduced the Travel Mask Mandate Repeal Act of 2021, which would have prohibited nanny state mandates across the country that required masks on those who wanted to travel on public transportation. For some reason, these policies continue to be in place throughout the country despite decreased cases and most mandates being effectively removed from the populace.
It seems that Paul has had enough of the static nature of the federal government to remove these requirements. He stated:
"The federal government forcing the American people to continue to wear masks even though we've already reached herd immunity is ridiculous and needs to end immediately."

I have not seen much about that subject.....are these mandates supposed to expire some time later this month, or does the TSA (Thousands Standing Around....) control these insane mandates...? jus’ askin’ .....
Rand Paul is mostly always alone because he has personal and moral integrity. The average GOP politician can’t name one hill they would die on. Every single one of them should have voted against the electoral college vote to certify an obviously bogus election. Even Rand Paul couldn’t handle that one. But he’s better than most.
