While I sympathize with Ukraine and their fight, we cannot spend money we don’t have

All I requested is an amendment to be included in the final bill that allows for the Inspector General to oversee how funds are spent. Anyone who is opposed to this is irresponsible.

It’s threatening our own national security, and it’s frankly a slap in the face to millions of taxpayers who are struggling to buy gas, groceries, and find baby formula.

'Scientists debate, journalists debate, politicians debate—we arrive at the truth through disputation'

Sen. @RandPaul: "Scientists debate, journalists debate, politicians debate—we arrive at the truth through disputation. Anybody who says we can do it by edict is somebody completely unaware of the idea and the concept of freedom of speech." https://t.co/Sigt9FBxHe

I will always stand for life

Today Senate Democrats attacked the right to life. But I’m happy and proud to say that their efforts were defeated. Senate Republicans stopped them. I will always stand for life.

Sweden saw lower mortality rate than most of Europe in 2020, despite no lockdown

FEE’s Jon Miltimore writes, “For nearly a year, Sweden was at the forefront of the debate over how governments should respond to the coronavirus.

Reports last April showed that despite widespread criticism for not embracing a full government lockdown, COVID-19 had reached what Tegnell described as a ‘plateau’ in Sweden.

‘If Tegnell’s characterization turns out to be true, it will be quite a vindication for Sweden, which has been widely denounced for bucking the trend among governments of imposing draconian ‘shelter-at-home’ decrees that have crippled the world economy and thrown millions out of work,’ Bloomberg reported.

Months later, data showed that Sweden had successfully ‘flattened the curve’ in contrast to many other global hot spots.”

Biden caught censorship bug long before Disinformation Governance

"The irony is that Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas announced the DGB startup at an April 27 House hearing as he was spouting disinformation. The southern border is secure, he testified, as Mexican cartels funnel thousands in."https://t.co/15EkAOzqPW

Rowan Scarborough writes at the Washington Times, “President Biden’s crackdown on free expression began well before he stood up the Disinformation Governance Board and placed at its head a Hunter Biden laptop denier and Christopher Steele promoter.

The state-sponsored speech police have been active since Mr. Biden took office. If you say something they don’t like, you’re in trouble. They’re taking names to shut up critics.

The concept of 'anti-disinformation expert' is completely fraudulent

“Indeed, the concept of “anti-disinformation expert” is itself completely fraudulent. This is not a real expertise but rather a concocted title bestowed on propagandists to make them appear more scholarly and apolitical than they are.” https://t.co/1R768P3QgI

'Treaty termination is an exercise of the executive power of the president over foreign affairs'

"Treaty termination is an exercise of the executive power of the president over foreign affairs," says @RandPaul. https://t.co/Vf1B9ftrtz

"The Senate’s advice and consent role in making treaties was intended to ensure that American interests are protected by preventing one person from entering into an unwise agreement in the first place. As James Wilson pointed out, 'neither the President nor the Senate solely, can complete a treaty, they are checks upon each other, and are so balanced as to produce security to the people.'

The power to enter treaties is found in Article II, which vests the president with the 'executive power.' Unlike a legislative body, the president can act with one voice and speed, precisely the qualities needed to negotiate a treaty.
