Sen Rand Paul, R-Kentucky, has publicly feuded with Dr. Anthony Fauci over his handling of the pandemic. Fauci lied to Congress, denying the role his federal agency played in funding the Covid-19 research at the Wuhan lab in Communist China.
Will Fauci be punished? He is most certainly no better than a common criminal. But we’ll see if our Congress has the will to enforce law or not.
Regardless of whether he serves time, it’s safe to say: What a miserable excuse for the medical profession. Owing to this man’s arrogance, they have lost much of their status among everyday citizens. Here’s more from John Stossel.
From his prison cell, the former chief of national intelligence for Venezuela, Hugo Carvajal, says scores of American politicians as well as CIA officials took kickbacks from the deposed regime of Nicolas Maduro. There are conflicting reports on who took the campaign contributions and bribes.
One report says the matter remains up in the air, while the second report lists specific officials said to have received kickbacks. The kickbacks represent payments for opposing the Trump administration and, specifically, his attempts to thwart the narco-terrorism drug trade.
Again, it’s not clear yet if the charges are accurate, but there are allegations that the kickbacks supposedly went to tons of Democratic officials. A smaller cadre of Republicans received payments, mostly those who frequently oppose President Donald Trump — like U.S. Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky and U.S. Sen. Susan Collins of Maine. Here’s more from Steve Turley.
Having removed the head of the snake, the body of the cobra remains, still flailing in Venezuela. But the regime of the dictator Nicholas Maduro will crumble and fall, as its muscle gets stretched thinner and thinner, and its belligerent strongmen are shattered.
Here, journalist Oscar Ramirez, reports after several days spent on the ground in Venezuela. The Maduro regime, led by vice president Delcy Rodriguez, is still calling the shots, but already has been overshadowed and restrained by the Americans. The regime, for instance, continues to silence outward protests against Maduro or his narco-terrorists.
Still, there are visible cracks forming. Iranians who had flocked to Venezuela in large numbers are already retreating — heading toward coastal locations so they can flee. Chinese merchants and Cubans also appear to be preparing to go.
Colombian President Gustavo Petro has echoed Maduro, calling American President Donald Trump a coward. Obviously, Petro is not so bright. He’s setting himself up as the next narco-terrorist to be captured and imprisoned. International law does not protect drug dealers. They can act tough, and issue threats, and browbeat everyday citizens. But none of them can outlast or outsmart the U.S. military. Here’s more from David “Nino” Rodriguez.
Democrats might chortle about how they trounced Republicans in this week’s voting, but the results remain suspect as charges fly regarding rampant fraud. In Kansas, the mayor of the small town of Coldwater — Jose “Joe” Ceballos — has been arrested on six felony counts. Turns out he was an illegal alien, who shouldn’t have been allowed to vote, let alone hold office. How do you compete against a party of thieves that commits fraud at every level — from the grassroots on up?
How can we end the endless? Do will continue to allow mail-in ballots? How about limiting the voting to one day? Paper ballots? There are many different options, and each should be explored to return election that have some credibility, even if they remain shady and open to abuse.
Aviation shutdowns loom around the corner as the federal government keeps sputtering and lawmakers refuse to conduct the public business. And U.S. Sen. Rand Paul, who fashions himself as a voice for the people, shows how his bread is truly buttered — voting for continued pay to lawmakers during the shutdown. What a creep! Here’s more from And We Know.
Kentucky’s les-than-honorable Congressional delegation — including Sens. Mitch McConnell and Paul Rand as well as U.S. Rep. Thomas Massie — keep undermining President Donald Trump and MAGA Republicans at every turn. At least, McConnell did relent and vote in favor of The Big, Beautiful Bill.
But Rand Paul sure didn’t, and Massie remains a constant thorn in Trump’s side. Here’s more from the Dilley Meme Team.
