During yesterday’s Senate Homeland Security and Government Affairs Committee hearing, Kentucky Senator Rand Paul took the opportunity to confront the Dept of Homeland Security (DHS) and FBI with the recent history of their activity.
As noted by Senator Paul, the past several years exhibits clear and irrefutable evidence of the DHS and FBI working collaboratively to conduct surveillance on American citizens, while simultaneously violating the first amendment by coordinating with big tech social media companies on censorship. WATCH:
Everything Rand Paul says in that statement is factually correct. However, highlighting just how the game of pretending is conducted in DC, at the end of hearing Senator Rand Paul -joined by Senator Lindsey Graham- voted to approve Jack Lew as Joe Biden’s ambassador to Israel. Quite a shift in ideological priority considering that Jack Lew was the primary cover-up official responsible for protecting Obama from exposure to the IRS targeting operation against conservatives.
Additionally, prior to his job as Treasury Secretary, and prior to his position as President Obama’s Chief of Staff, and prior to him being Obama’s Budget Director (comical considering Obama never had a budget) Jack Lew served as State Department Director under Hillary Clinton. It was Lew’s influence that shaped and positioned the failed Obama/Clinton foreign policy toward the Middle East. Specifically, toward Tunisia, Egypt, and Libya during their upheaval, the Arab Spring. How did that work out for our interests?
For those who believe the bankers control everything, Jack Lew is a case study.
President Obama’s first chief of staff was Rahm Emanuel, he sat on the board of troubled federal mortgage giant Freddie Mac. Obama’s second CoS was Bill Daley, a previous top executive at financial firm J.P. Morgan Chase & Co. Next came Jack Lew.
From 2006-2008, Jack Lew was chief operating officer of Citibank’s alternative investments division. And it was his division that made billions of dollars betting “U.S. homeowners would not be able to make their mortgage payments.”
Lew made millions at Citi, including a bonus of nearly $950,000 in 2009 just a few months after the bank received billions of dollars in a taxpayer rescue, according to disclosure forms filed with the federal government. Jack Lew was CEO of Citibank’s hedge fund of “credit default swaps“, the financial tool that devastated the housing equity market and created the subsequent economic collapse.
Notice the pattern?
I digress…
Hey, at least Senator Paul can talk eloquently about the constitutional protections being usurped in real time. Doing something about it, not so much.
Thanks to SD for printing this article pointing out the two faces (at least two) of Sen. Rand Paul.
I could believe that Sen Graham voted as he did since he is a known bizarre war advocate but I thought better of Sen Paul.
I will not make this mistake again.
at any moment he could do what Tuberville or Vance are doing in the adjacent article.
and yet instead, he consents to be governed by this bovine feces.
The sooner that people realize that DC is one big party and we aren’t in it, the better. Lots of elected cretins, like Paul. Grahanasty and every single Representative put up Smoke & Mirror Shows or screaming fits to look good on TV. No other reason, just look good while screwing America. Until the streetlights in DC start falling over from being overloaded with swinging bodies, NOTHING WILL CHANGE.
Are there ANY CONgress critters who are NOT professional grifters and thieves?
Rand Paul is just another phoney…
…unfortunately it is so. My faith in Rand Paul died a long time ago. He has shown himself doing the wrong thing too many times.
Praying Matt Gaetz
BREAKING NOW…
HERR DIREKTOR CHRIS WRAY TELLS CONGRESS THAT HE CAN’T INVESTIGATE ISLAMIC TERROR CELLS UNTIL HE’S DONE INVESTIGATING 101 MILLION TRUMP VOTERS
UNLESS THEY ATTEND LATIN MASS
“We have already implemented Seditious Coup-Prevention Training at the FBI. It’s working well–we haven’t tried to overthrow Joe Biden once!”
The FBI also said it recovered this photograph, missing from Ashley Biden’s Diary:
Manufactured News Network: “An Iron Shower Curtain Has Descended Over America!”
Rest in the Vine: MNN’s Mourning Report
LOL Gipper!!! Ashley Biden’s diary’s missing photo – priceless!!!
Phuk Wray and the horse he rode in on.
Gipper, your post tickled my funny bone (and I am female/xx/she/her*snort) so therefore it was really funny. Thank you.
At some point either under Bush 2 or Obama our government decided that American citizens were the enemy!
I am going with Bush. 9/11 was a good benchmark to judge by.
Bush 1, and it wasn’t a realisation that WE were the enemy of THEM, it was US realising THEY were our enemy.
Remember RR’s 10 terrifying words.
Correct Bush I aka “Bush the Elder” killed the Reagan Revolution all on his own. Reagan Won 51 States for his 2nd term. After the Bushie Cartel took over, HW Lost bigly after 1 term to the Clintoons for 8 years of treason, treachery, and debauchery.
Next came Bush the Younger, then the “O”bamy Mammy & BidmeUp as VP , and Both were Reinstalled by the sElection Coup in 2020.
Add up the “Score” Reagan 8 + Trump 4 = 12 Liberty points. vs 27 Tyranny points for the DC NWO Cabal Crooks.
The Bushies were “compassionate conservatives”. (aka neo con Democrats) The Marxist Democrat propaganda media machine love that one.
Yes, GB1 killed the Reagan Revolution and came inches from killing Reagan too.
Well said.
The documentary Dark Legacy is streaming free on Amazon, Freevee and Plex. It blames the JFK assassination on the Bushes-George H.W., his father Herbert Walker Bush and grandfather Preston Bush and their associates. Interesting. No tie-in with LBJ.
When Bush 1 started with the New World Order, I knew.
Well, he had to teach the islamaphobes a lesson, so here we are…
Patriot Act.
The in your face end to the Constitutional Republic.
liar liar liar!
This should have ended any debate on Rand Paul long time ago….
It’s time we really gaze right at them and speak truth boldly and loudly. Truth tellers need to ramp it up to Save America.
No fear

Everything about these hearings is pretense. All they ever produce is soundbites for both sides use for fund raising and tv news show debates. Meanwhile, nothing ever changes but a few of the players after every election cycle. Lather, rinse, repeat. It’s theater.
Lets see how they vote on the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) Section 702 is set to expire on December 31, 2023.
If no vote occurs to reauthorize Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) before its expiration, several things could happen. None of them terrible:
Loss of Authority:The agencies would lose the legal authority to carry out surveillance under this provision. Section 702 allows the government to collect communications of foreign targets outside the U.S. Losing this authority could affect the government’s ability to gather intelligence on US citizens. YEAH!
Impact on Ongoing Operations:
Ongoing intelligence operations that rely on Section 702 authority could be impacted. It may result in the cessation of certain surveillance activities, which could potentially affect government domestic spying. YEAH!
Legal and Operational Challenges:
There could be legal and operational challenges as the agencies would need to find other legal bases for conducting domestic intelligence surveillance. YEAH!
No, they would not change any substantive aspect of how they operate, they would just do it without the pretence of it being legal.
Its already illegal, as any law which on its face is UnConstitutional, is not “legal”.
“If Blackbriar all goes South, we roll it up and tie it around Landys neck, and start over again.'”
Am I the only one that regularly includes, in phone calls, texts and emails,. .
“Oh, Damn. I have lost my BLACKBRIAR pipe!”
just my way of having fun,…
this is why congress has the DUTY to not simply abolish 702/USA freeDUMB act, but to pass NEW LAW that makes it criminal with a penalty of 10 years minimum for anyone spying on an american citizen on us soil without a written federal judges warrant (NOT FISA). The normal constitutional law and order works just fine. It’s how we took down the mob in NYC, JERSEY, VEGAS, CHICAGO AND NEW ORLEANS. good enough for me. Old school police work that did not violate constitution limits!
NO MORE SECRET POLICE SPY STATE!
force them to become criminals…and face the consequences.
will congress do this?
I’m working really hard to get this message out to every single member of congress. all my local reps too. Full court press.
there is 62 calendar days left.
for practical purposes, it’s really only 40 days.
40 DAYS TO COMMUNICATE WITH YOUR CONGRESSIONAL MEMBERS AND MAKE YOUR VOICES HEARD!
God Bless America
Thank you Regi for your wisdom and continual Patriot actions. This world is a better place for your contributions here while steering our Republic back on course outside this site. You are always a welcome voice.
A CHORUS of voices SPEAKING TRUTH AND DEMANDING THE RESTORATION OF CONSTITUTIONAL PRINCIPLES AND RULE OF LAW TO THE ENTIRE WORLD needs to crescendo across AMERICA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WROL, (Without Rule of Law) Welcome to the USSA, Comrades!!! I know some may say I’m bailing out on the Ship of Stateless by heading to the lifeboats, But I sees What I see, and CYA = Conduct yourselves Accordingly.
I’ll vote for Trump If he’s there in 2024 or If there are sElections in 2024; Even If Trump Wins … he is not a magician, though quite talented.
“It’s the Economy” as Bubba Clintoon accurately noted, and by mid 2024 ….. Sheesh.
Like Massie, Rand Paul talks a good game. They rarely go full Tuberville in support of republican voters though. Tuberville has been fighting his fight effectively for months.
Look how talk a “good game” RINO Massie and others voted with Marxist Democrats to kill the censure of the terrorist loving Rashida Tlaib. https://dailycaller.com/2023/11/01/23-republicans-voted-no-censure-rashida-tlaib/
Rand Paul: blah, blah, blah… Same as Jorden. All these guys do is talk. DC, where all investigations go to die.
Great article. Thank you.
To sum up Rand Paul…He’s good at talking the talk, but like so many other Republicans, can’t or won’t walk the walk.
Rand voted along with every Republican Senator to confirm Chutkan for a federal judgeship!
Talk about abject stupidity!
He doesn’t have to be the first to go. But he’s gotta go.
Talk is cheap. Until budgets are slashed and people are fired and charged, NOTHING WILL CHANGE.
Actually, its gone FAR beyond that, ABO.
You’re still handicapped by thinking of maintaining the system, just “fixing” it.
And, respectfully you and most others, are still clinging to the frankly absurd notion that such a coarse of action is possible.
Still think you have something to lose, and so unwilling to recognise the system is so far gone, that that is not possible, and everything you hold near and dear, is already lost, so you are like a “dead man walking”.
Face it, humpty dumpty can NOT be put back together again. Accept it,…EMBRACE it,…
What do you suggest be done? Give up the country? Start shooting? Do nothing and hope for the best?
You are Correct and “O’s”Change is Coming on Faster & Faster
Criminalizing AI Pattern Recognition…
Artificial Intelligence (AI) may be the most important scientific development of the next few decades. Goldman Sachs predicts it could boost global GDP by 7 percent. AI is already used in many fields, and others worry that entire job sectors could be wiped out. The media have shown remarkable sensitivity to those worried about being replaced rather than dismissing them as conspiracy theorists. That may be because journalists are among those whose jobs may no longer be necessary.
Nonetheless, the race grievance industry is upset about AI, and the New York Times, Time, and the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation dutifully repeat its claims. “Who is making sure the AI machines aren’t racist?” asks the Times. Someone must, because reality is racist, and unfettered AI will report politically incorrect facts.
Rep. Yvette Clarke (D-NY) says bias in AI will be the “civil rights issue of our time.”
This will be another attempt to ban pattern recognition. “Providing guidance” to police, landlords, contractors, and others means preventing them drawing conclusions from facts. The government will force people to adopt its delusions and will cripple new technology in order to propagate egalitarianism.

He seemed afraid. His finger kept twitching.
Probably operating at the end of his leash.
Redeemed himself by approving Lew.
Sunday Combat, George Stephanopoulos vs Rand Paul Regarding Election Fraud
https://theconservativetreehouse.com/blog/2021/01/24/sunday-combat-george-stephanopoulos-vs-rand-paul-regarding-election-fraud/
aptly positioned reveal, Sundance. Paul is the perfect example of the RINO uniparty slime. He obviously knows better, yet, when the rubber hits the road he has his motor running in the wrong direction.
Reminding voters about Lews real agenda – pro-Iran — is timely.
Better having him under public scrutiny than being able to hide this sordid Obama pro-Iran, anti- Israel chapter.
Breaking News: Trump Champion and legendary basketball coach Bobby Knight has passed away at age 83. RIP coach.

Dr. Tooth Decay makes me sick.
President Trump’s massive level of support demands massive level of corrective actions to fit the federal government back into its constitutional limits…… we have had enough…….The post-COW-coup -d’état era will be a form of Zero-based government that de-funds the unconstitutional administrative state’s maze of controls and roadblocks. Ending the weaponization of the federal government against its citizens.
All federal incumbents are compromised…..all of them.
Yell and prod at them but don’t expect much.
President Trump’s MAGA / America First movement is regaining control of the federal government by coming back up through the states, as the founding fathers planned.
……with a “full Constitutional Republic mandate”, (1)
………not by just changing out the government’s executive suites on inauguration day.
…………and not by having to deal with the unconstitutional administrative state’s maze of controls and roadblocks built up over the decades.
………………but with a speedy de-naturalization and deportation policy to remove the treasonous, traitors and interlopers, aka President Ike.
The post-COW-coup -d’état era will be a form of Zero-based government that de-funds the unconstitutional administrative state’s maze of controls and roadblocks. Ending the weaponization of the federal government against its citizens.
Footnote (1):
In reference to the “full Constitutional Republic mandate”, Thomas Jefferson wrote:
“A strict observance of the written law is doubtless one of the high duties of a good citizen, but it is not the highest. The laws of necessity, of self-preservation, of saving our country when in danger, are of higher obligation. To lose our country by a scrupulous adherence to the written law, would be to lose the law itself, with life, liberty, property and all those who are enjoying them with us; thus absurdly sacrificing the ends to the means.” 1,2
footnotes:
_____________________________________________________
Thomas Jefferson knew that at some point in the future, traitors would take over the functions of the federal government. Their faux legal actions/rulings/laws don’t require a strict adherence to them, but there must be strict adherence to the original Constitution, aka “full Constitutional Republic mandate.”
Does DC have a free acting/lying school set up for all the newbies?
Get elected first day in DC, after they get your first scotch and water they take you over to the lying school to teach you everything you need to know about fooling the American people. Then after that grueling session of how to lie, you get to go out to dinner with the lobbyists at a French restaurant and then a little after dinner treat with your choice of sexual fun…
Just asking for a friend?
Rand is as phony as the rest of the repukeikans.
wRONg Paul. His father kicked butt
Sen. Rand Paul was reading his speech from a teleprompter :
https://rumble.com/v3t1qzv-fbi-director-and-homeland-security-secretary-on-threats-to-homeland.html
Yeah walking the talk is another thing in DC that seems broken.
Seriously , is there anyone we can trust in either party ?
Important Announcement from President Trump:
WATCH:
https://streamable.com/yq2sby
I’m thinking being broke and being used to it may be a plus. At least when this crap graft system implodes, the greedy bastards causing it are going to feel the pain way more than I am.
I look foward to Rand and other members of congress to LEAD THE WAY and challenge and abolish the 702/USA FREEDOM ACT.
it’s just too much power. Power at this level is too tempting even for lessor scoundrels (lessor scoundrels: those that still debate giving up some privacy for security arguments….)
remove this power, make violation statutes so steep that anyone tempted to ignore THE LAW, will go to prison for a minimum of 10 years. That makes it real.
it is NOT ENOUGH TO SIMPLY REMOVE THESE POWERS LEGALLY. There must be penalties for violating HARD LINES.
I have been sending Rand and several other members of congress (higgins, my own rep), who will listen and read some of the idea about how to end the secret police spy state.
NO ONE IS SAFE.
that is the subject line.
keep it real America
God Bless America
Completely worthless POS, talks the talk , can’t walk the walk .
Love his father ,Rand, nah !
Both Massie and Paul have had very disappointing showings when things really mattered most . I supported both strongly in the past ,as well as Ron Paul ……..
Sullivan and Lew both worked for Hillary at State? Man o’ Manischewitz.
Rand Paul has turned out to be totally useless. He’s the Senate version of Jim Jordan. Talks a good game but then doesn’t show up to actually play. Remember when Rand joined all the RINOs to prevent President Trump from making recess appointments? What a scumbag.
So Rand Paul is also and actor in the play? Pretending to be against the government’s scamming We the People and a rugged Libertarian, but really part of the Uniparty as well?
Not a single republican senator called for a recess while President Trump was in office. That whole class of republican senators are not worthy of giving any regard to.
For the MOST part members of CONgrss & the Senate are nothing more than HYPOCRITES that are excellent at pissing away taxpayers’ money, with NO accountability and enriching themselves while doing t!
Every single one of these “Senators” chose FILTHY McConnell Over President Trump and America.
Not one is worth a _ _ _ _. They all toe the McConnell line
He made millions but getting that govt job insures he will make much more
Typical waste of a citizen’s vote. As Dan Bongino opined, here is a perfect example of a “ lazy wolf”.
Blah, blah, blah. Blah. Blah, blah. Blah, blah, blah.
At this point, he may as well be talking to the wind.
Nobody is going to hear and nothing is going to change.
The roller coaster is on its way down.
All of these agencies are listening and watching everything we do. Soon, many of us will be visited and told to get in line or be taken out of line for reeducation. Our G od given rights and our rights in our Constitution have been taken away from us without any push back from those who we elected to push back for us. Prepare people.

“Sen Rand Paul Provides Bread And Circuses to the Peasants”
Uni-Party Climate hoax, Open borders, Inflation, Debt spiral, Forever wars Spying Interest rates and Energy prices. Vote them out. DC is a cesspool of corruption stealing our tax $$$.. Protection racket for each other bastards …
So disappointed in him to say the least
