Dr. Rand Paul lays down the law.
Update — Rand Paul with Larry Kudlow
Excellent clip from last night
Run for President. You speak out more about the vaccines than Trump.
Or how about both ‘give up the sacred cow’ of pouring tens of billions of dollars into a CIA deep-state fomented and agitated proxy ‘war’ against Russia who is NOT our enemy on the same scale as china. And before anyone goes off on a rant about Russia being our enemy, of course they’re our ‘enemy’, the same as europe is our ‘enemy’ and uk is our ‘enemy’ and australia is our ‘enemy’, they’re our ‘enemy’ like all countries in that they spy and work to protect their national interests……..like ALL countries do however, china and their US government and deep-state paid operatives are actually working for the total destruction of America and have compromised our government(biden et al) and state security(brennan et al) and our election integrity with the sole aim of divide and conquer as they work tirelessly to destroy us! Meanwhile their CCP operatives in the US foment distracting wars to divert the attention away from their crimes and our downfall. Wake up America!!
They’ll raise it, mccarthy already said they will in the house. And a senate with mitch the bish and canadan cruz will ok it as well. Yes, I realize there is an i in canadan.
The RINOs will side with the Dems.
Sorry Mr.Paul. Traitors and Quislings at every turn.
Rand Paul fir president
I agree. At least he speaks out against the vaccines. Trump is too lip shut on that and it’s going to backfire.
America is well on its way to becoming like Argentina. The uniparty won’t stop the excessive spending.
“The Reagan plan worked… for 50 years”? I love RR, but we’re 31.6 TRILLION in DEBT. Something didn’t work there…
There is plenty of money to run the government’s core programs without raising the debt limit.
Means testing for Medicare is an especially BAD idea. Separating people out who paid the Medicare tax all there life is BS. Health Insurance in the private market over the age of 65 will be like $5000/mo. It will lead to a whole new industry of hiding one’s assets et etc.
A Bi-partisan committee is a joke. There are no honest democrats. Everyone of them will act one way privately and then leave the meeting and run to the press and LIE. Tip O’neill did it to Ronald Reagan.
The radical act of not raising the debt ceiling merely means the government will waste the same amount of money on stupid shite as last year.
Oh, the unimaginable horror!!!
This is a trap. Just like January 6. The collapse is planned. The blame will be placed on Republicans. Be cautious.
Yeah bit the swamp creatures will
Cut off the border invasion !!!
The Rinos will fold like a Taco when the going gets rough.
How about, “you’ll receive nothing; and you’ll be happy?”
he just doesnt get it 😉 it’s such a fool proof plan haaaa
why raise it at all? we have heard this song and dance.
Let ’em eat RAND! That’s telling them!
4 years. Whatever. Assume you’ve only got 2.
Good luck with that. Past performance is indicative of future results. The debt ceiling will be raised, and minor “reforms ” performed just to look good.
I don’t care if u’re Conservative or Liberal, any member of Congress that decides 2 raise debt ceiling need 2 give up 10% of their assets to National debt. All of them are millionaires several times over and getting generous benefits on the backs of hard working Americans. Let’s spread the love.
Hope he really means it this time. Unfortunately, too few of the rest of them don’t care and the debt limit gets raised.
Stand your ground. We are with you!!
Rand will again be alone in this!
Stand your ground this time! We back you!
I’ve heard this refrain before. I wonder if there is any truth to it this time.
Hammer down
All we need are 50 more Rand Paul’s in Senate and 215 more Matt Gaetzs in the House and things would finally change. Sigh.
FJB
where was this fire when DJT was in office?
Why look at the past, it can not be changed, it is what it is.
Cause history tends to rhyme at least, if not repeat..
About time.
There are too many Republicans who will vote to increase the debt ceiling without reforms, so I’m afraid his “gauntlet” will have been dropped in vein.
Speaking of Rand, I’d love to see him grill that moron Pfizer guy who just spilled his guts to Project Veritas.
Hopefully, Rand is a man of his word !!!!
he is usually one of the few that are. but ya never know for sure!
I’ll believe it when I see it. Too much talk and no action.
The BRAINDEAD idiot is all talk and can’t remember even what he read or mumbled! FJB!!
Conservatives may not vote to raise the debt ceiling. But unfortunately, plenty of Republicans will.
Rick Scott looks disgusted. I didn’t realize he was such a Commie!!!
He succumbed to that particular mental illness a few years ago.
Here’s a tip for the Senate republican caucus…..get rid of that damn troll Mitch McConnell , and vote in a MAGA friendly leader , otherwise 0 will change !!
So when does the 51st state, “Ukraine”, start paying their share of the tax burden. They sure are getting plenty of military aid, humanitarian aid. And now they want planes!
The USA is actually in a hot war with Russia and just using Ukrainian territory to fight it on. This must stop. It’s a “no win” for both the USA and Ukraine. Putin would sign a deal to be given a small piece of Ukrainian land, and the people living there won’t mind because they are basically Russians anyway. But Zelenskyyyy won’t do it because he and his friends are getting rich off the “war”. And DC politicians’ military industrial complex campaign donors are getting rich also.
Just wait until they begin Drafting some of our young men and women to fight in the Ukraine under Ukraine Commanders……..as long as Congress makes Money on the “Aid” sent to Ukraine…..anything is possible !!!!!
I remember Vietnam well.
The people deserve an accounting for where our tax money is going. How much is even spent domestically?
Hold the line, Republicans!
That would make a great fire log, prolly last all night.
Send it to Germany they need it!
Best possible use for it.
Sound bites for fund raising. Blah, blah, blah.
At least he is saying the right thing – always consistent!
Senator Paul should by all rights be leader of the senate…turtle needs to go..
We need to cut funding to government agencies and the military. No money needs to go to non-citizens except to send them home. The FBI and AFT need to be dissolved. This should help costs.
Yes, we need to stop sending money, weapons, service member to Ukraine and force Ukraine to talk to Russia. it’ll save money and lives.
Here’s one that few have considered in our largesse to Ukraine. What are the chances that Ukraine will share a bunch of our technology with China and Russia for cash?
Yea, can you imagine a navy seal awol for multiple years border an international flight, going through customs departing for Europe, landing, crossing a border or two, showing his passport again. When you go awol you’re a wanted fugitive tracked by the Marshall’s. Usually there’s not an honest vigorous pursuit, for your lowly pvt infantryman, but I have a feeling Navy seals one don’t go awol often, and 2, are tracked down when they do. They are a multi million dollar piece of equipment to.the military. They don’t let those go missing unless it’s in a foreign nation like Mexico, Ukraine or Afghanistan. What a b.s story.

The government needs to be obliterated slashed by 50%, then we would have a unstoppable economy.
A useless government job is worse than welfare to a able-bodied citizen.
Democrats are very comfortable Dictators! I’ll never forget him wagging his finger at us and saying his patience was running out…. The whole corrupt government needs to be slashed by no less than 10-20% as a baseline.
Please, God: bless that man!
Right On Brother 😎
Why is common sense such an elusive thing in our government? What the good doctor here is saying makes perfect sense.
Because the swamp is all about self-enrichment. Expecting anything else is naive.
Can someone try to explain why negotiations to end the European war in Ukraine are being ignored while a full escalation is taking place that could lead to a full-blown war? Do you think the majority of the young people in the US want to fight for this country? Again, the victors in this debacle are the weapons manufacturers and the payoffs to the corrupt. Enough is enough!
My son is in the military. I don’t mind if he fights for us. I will if he fights for that corrupt shitthole Ukraine.
My family has served in the military as far back as I can remember – NO More!!
We will not sacrifice for a wicked nation with no borders involved in endless wars…. They have made us a debtor nation
Sainty I’m the house finally!
At least one member of the Senate has a spine
TAXATION WITHOUT REPRESENTATION
“Taxation with representation has become tyranny..”
It IS tyranny.
BIDEN AND HUNTER NEED TO GO TO JAIL FOR THERE BLACKMAIL JOB WITH THE UKRAINE
Talk is cheap, Rand.
Status quo is cheaper.
Rand Paul is the ONLY senator to consistently vote against deficit bloating spending bills even to the point of being disparaged by fellow Repukicans. Rand talks the talk and walks the walk.
Such nice words and sentiments – but way too late and TRILLIONS of dollars short.
Our “government representatives” have been stealing from their own citizens and putting the majority of our nation into debt slavery for decades, while most recently, giving their cover-up pansies, Ukraine, additional TRILLIONS – with the deal of return kickbacks and even further destruction of its people – and all, with absolutely no accountability, whatsoever.
I’m soooo impressed, Senator Rand Paul.
America needs to declare mutiny on their bounty … or maybe just change our national anthem to “Gypsies, Tramps and Thieves” and let their Rhianna sing it at the Super Bowl of more deceit, while the masses numb their consciousness with booze and beer and play pretend, that everything is just fine.
So disgusted.
