 American Action News: Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul released a report on Monday outlining more than $1 trillion in government waste from the past year. The 2024 “Festivus” report highlighted various instances of wasteful government spending from the federal government, including a pickleball complex in Las Vegas and a cabaret show on ice. This year marks Paul’s 10th annual report. “This year, I am highlighting a whopping $1,008,313,329,626.12,” Paul wrote in the report. “That’s over $1 trillion in government waste, including things like ice-skating drag queens, a $12 Million Las Vegas pickleball complex, $4,840,082 on Ukrainian influencers, and more! No matter how much money the government has wasted, politicians keep demanding even more.” The Department of the Interior (DOI) spent $12 million on a Las Vegas Pickleball Complex, according to the report. The DOI also spent $720,479 on wetland conservation projects for ducks in Mexico. “I have a lot of problems with federal spending, and ...

  Glenn Beck @glennbeck Sen. @RandPaul SHREDS the Secret Service & Deep State for their actions surrounding the Trump assassination attempts: “They DENIED countersnipers and extra security protection for 6 months…I can tell you from meeting people throughout government - DOJ, CIA, FBI - people who are supposed to be unbiased are so DERANGED by their hate of Trump that they do bizarre things. Whoever was in charge in Butler and Mar-a-Lago are NOT showing the ability to be in charge and they need to be REPLACED. When you have human error, you shouldn’t give the humans more money….This is not a funding problem. CIA, they barely talked to us…If I requested a conference with them, it’s like pulling teeth. If I beg someone on the intelligence committee, I can sometimes get a meeting with the CIA or the FBI. They’re BEYOND oversight. People need to realize this: Not only is there a Deep State. The Deep State is NOT RESPONSIVE to your elected officials. They just basically thumb ...

 Explain America: Kentucky GOP Sen. Rand Paul is teeing off on Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg over the indictment of former President Donald Trump, declaring that Bragg could be forced out of office and into court himself. “Wonder if DA Bragg remembers Durham DA Mike Nifong who withheld exculpatory DNA tests on the Duke lacrosse players. He was subsequently forced out of office, disbarred, and convicted of contempt of court,” Paul said, referring to Nifong, the district attorney in the 2006 case accusing Duke University lacrosse players of rape. The three players were exonerated and Nifong even spent one day in jail. “A Trump indictment would be a disgusting abuse of power. The DA should be put in jail,” Paul said in a separate statement just before news late last week about the indictment. ... “Alvin Bragg is attempting to interfere in our democratic process by invoking federal law to bring politicized charges against President Trump, admittedly using federal funds, while...

 Conservative Brief: Kentucky Republican Sen. Rand Paul issued a brutal statement to retiring Dr. Anthony Fauci, the country’s lead immunologist who declared that he had no regrets about how he handled the pandemic. During an interview, Fauci, who led the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases since Ronald Reagan’s first term in the early 1980s, was asked if there was anything he would do differently regarding the COVID-19 outbreak. “I’m the first to admit I’m far from perfect, but when you say do over, you know, I really can’t see something that I would do completely over,” Fauci said. Paul was not happy with Fauci’s remark. “Likely there is no public figure, or public health figure, that has made a greater error in judgment than Dr. Fauci. The error in judgment was to fund gain-of-function research in a totalitarian country — fund research that allowed them to create super viruses that, in all likelihood, accidentally leaked into the public and caused seven million...
