Video Emerges Showing Stabbing Attack On Sen. Rand Paul’s Staffer In D.C.




On Tuesday, video footage depicting the brutal stabbing of Phillip Todd, a staffer for GOP Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul, in Washington, D.C. back in March was published by the Washington Post. The suspected assailant was identified as Glynn Neal, who had reportedly been recently discharged from federal prison. Neal is accused of stabbing Todd and has an extensive record of serious criminal offenses. Todd’s parents have said the attack was random.

Your tax dollars at work! Yet another FBI-orchestrated attack no doubt.

Senator Rand Paul told Fox News Thursday that in the case of Anthony Fauci “I don’t think there’s ever been a clearer case of perjury in the history of government testimony, and I don’t say that lightly.”

Paul explained that Fauci “said adamantly that the government never funded this [coronavirus] gain-of-function research.”

“We now have the Government Accountability Office, the GAO, has admitted that the funding came from the NIH,” Paul continued, adding “We have the acting director [Lawrence] Tabak, of the NIH, admitting it in writing that it came from the NIH.”

Paul further noted that “the smoking gun… is Fauci in private saying the opposite of what he was saying in public when he was publicly telling me that absolutely, we do not fund gain-of-function research in China.”

“He says privately we are suspicious that the virus has been manipulated and we are suspicious because we know they are doing gain-of-function research. He then goes on to describe the research, and it’s exactly the research that the NIH funded,” the Senator urged.

Paul explained why he is ramping up his criminal referral, noting that “we have an incredibly partisan Attorney General [Merrick] Garland, who is refusing to act, so I’ve taken the extraordinary step of actually going to the local U.S. attorney in D.C. to see if he will act.”

“The problem is there are partisans littered throughout the legal system, and people are seeing this. You don’t get prosecuted if you’re a Democrat under this administration, no matter what you do,” Paul warned.

Ya think?

Sen. Rand Paul Targets Fauci On Primetime TV, Says He Belongs in Jail ‘Without Question’

“This man was a traitor to his country.”

On Hannity Thursday evening, Kentucky Senator Rand Paul (R) made a series of allegations against Dr. Anthony Fauci regarding his handling of information related to the origins of the COVID-19 virus. According to Paul, he believes that Dr. Fauci knew early in January 2020 that COVID-19 likely originated from gain-of-function research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology, funded through US tax dollars via the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the EcoHealth Alliance.

Paul contended that Dr. Fauci publicly dismissed these claims as conspiracy theories but privately expressed concerns about the virus being manipulated and gain-of-function research in Wuhan. Furthermore, Senator Paul claimed that Dr. Fauci provided contradictory statements to Congress, denying any involvement in funding gain-of-function research in Wuhan while privately acknowledging the possibility. “This is perhaps the biggest cover-up we’ve ever had in the history of our country, and a million Americans died, and we deserve to know what happened,” he added.

Senator Paul argued that Dr. Fauci’s actions constitute perjury, a felony punishable by up to five years in prison, and he suggested that there is a double standard when it comes to holding individuals accountable based on their political affiliations. “If you work for the Trump administration, they put you in jail. If you worked in the Biden administration, they tend to look the other way,” he said.

Hannity asked, “And you believe that Anthony Fauci belongs in jail?”

“Without question,” Senator Paul responded. “I think the book will go a long way to convincing the rest of America that this man was a traitor to his country.”

Fauci must be tried and hanged for his crimes not only against America, but against all of humanity.

First he funded the creation of the virus in Wuhan.

Then he pushed the dangerous and ineffective toxxine, which killed yet more people.

Why is it taking so long to prosecute Fauci? Is Senator Paul delaying, or being blocked? And if he's blocked, by what?

Senator Rand Paul calls for Dr. Anthony Fauci to be sent to PRISON over 'dishonesty' on how Covid started

The Republican Kentucky senator, 61, bashed Fauci for making one of the 'worst' decisions in the history of the world during his years as Covid chief
He complained that the former medical chief had not been held responsible and accused him of approving and funding the labs in Wuhan

Senator Paul is entirely correct about this. Fauci should go to prison at the very least.

https://slaynews.com/news/rand-paul-smoking-gun-documents-alarming-extent-great-covid-cover-up/

Republican Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) has declared that he has obtained “smoking gun” documents that expose a “cover-up” of the Covid pandemic at the highest levels of government.

The senator is going on the attack over the origins of the pandemic with an exposé on federal government agencies that conspired with labs in Wuhan, China.

Paul says top federal health officials colluded to engineer a “highly transmissible” form of the virus which was later unleashed on the public in the form of COVID-19.

Sen. Paul took to his X account on Tuesday to bring attention to his charges.

The top Republican took particular aim at Dr. Anthony Fauci, the now-former director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID).

“Newly obtained documents confirm yet again Fauci lied about COVID,” Paul wrote on X.

“Fauci’s NIH lab was a partner with Wuhan on a proposal to engineer a highly transmissible coronavirus in 2018. But he wasn’t alone, 15 government agencies knew about it and said nothing.”

I once wrote a paper letter to Rand Paul to complain about illegal aliens.

Within his answer was his support of amnesty for the "11 million" illegals in the USA.

Of course, that figure is nonsense but was repeated by politicians.

I had also written to John McCain to complain; his answer also contained an amnesty for "11 million" illegals.

Strange, as if they all got some memo in the Senate to say 11 million, a ridiculously low fake number.

I like Rand Paul and generally support him, but he's unable to say deport the illegals.

"This should go away if Rand Paul doesn't amplify it too much." New emails show how far Fauci and the NIH went in their coverup efforts

A group of damning emails released by the House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic has revealed the lengths Dr. Fauci and NIH adviser David Morens went to hide the fact that COVID-19 was created with Dr. Fauci's approval in an NIH-funded lab in Wuhan.

Senator Rand Paul shared this interesting bit:



... Further emails show how they illegally used personal emails and back-channel communications to dodge Freedom of Information Act requests...

Pretty sure Jim Jordan or Trey Gowdy needs to be Trumps nomination for attorney general.

Trey Gowdy was a pompous dandy that liked to put on fancy outfits and preen his quaff then go on Fox news and boast about what he ought to do.

Jim Jordan needs to stay where he's at, until he produces results with his freedom caucus and the ranking member of his committee. Less he too be deemed nothing more than self pandering wind bag like Trey.

Rand Paul to target ‘COVID cover-up’ as head of Senate Homeland Security committee

Sen. Rand Paul will take over the chairmanship of the upper chamber’s Homeland Security Committee starting in January after two years as the panel’s top Republican — and he’s told The Post he wants to uncover the truth about the COVID-19 pandemic.

Whoever comes in front of the committee is just going to lie with no consequence. Trump made the vaccine, but Biden tried to get mandates in. The Dems will just softball questions. Nothing will come of it.

You have to remember most Americans don't care about this stuff. When I tell people facts they're like "what?" But then they don't care 20 minutes later or probably remember. Gotta remember that 98% of people will never go to DC. You can watch on CSPAN but it's not the same as being there. Watch a hearing in person. It's a lot of doing nothing. Did a 3 day trip to DC as a kid. I'll never go back. I detest that place and this was the 90's.

I don't want to expand government but I think the Congress should be regional for meeting and voting. I believe I said it in this post or another. I don't think having everything in one city is logical. Eastern, Central, Mountain and West Coast time zone mini Capitals. Less time on a plane and more time around constituents.

I actually wouldn't be shocked to find out that 95% of Californians haven't been to Wisconsin. Or people from Maryland to Arkansas. I think I've done about 30 of the lower 48 three times or more. AZ, FL, MT, WI, MI, IN, CA, ID, WA, TN, KY, MO, AL, OH, CO, UT, NV. Territories PR, St. Thomas and Saint John are my 5x's or more states/territories. These are not layovers at an airport either. Overnight stays. Leave for Mexico tomorrow (to a fucking potential hurricane) for I think the 8th time.

IL brings in the money for us, but we like to GTFO of the state as often as possible. House members need to be active in their district. Senators somewhat, but usually in DC.

TL:DR - Fuck DC.

Works for me:

Seven Republican senators signed on to a bill led by Sens. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), the Senate’s president pro tempore, and Maria Cantwell (D-Wash.) that would require the president to give Congress 48 hours notice of new tariffs, make them subject to congressional approval after 60 days...

...

“It’s very hard to overturn a veto. … It doesn’t mean the battle isn’t worth having,” said Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.), who has not signed onto the bill, but has emerged as a leading voice against Trump’s widespread tariffs. “Win or lose, it’s worth the debate.”
Paul noted that he spoke over the weekend to a room of roughly 1,000 GOP voters in South Carolina, where he showered praise on Trump and his team but made clear that support did not extend to these extensive levies.
“But we have to, even if you’re supportive, question when millions of investors decided: ‘Wow, this thing is really going to screw up the economy,’ because these aren’t partisans. … They’re doing it to try to preserve their wealth and, for some, it’s their job,” Paul said. “These aren’t dumb people. These are millions of people who all came to the same conclusion. I think we do need to be worried about it.”

RWSGFY says

when millions of investors decided

Millions? Maybe just the top 10% that own 93% of all stocks.

Yep, which is why we never had the dotcom bubble or crashes before.

10% of what? 10% of US population is millions (~30). 10% of stock owners in the US is millions (~16). So yeah, millions.

Somebody has to stand up and yell, 'the emperor has no clothes.' Everybody is falling in lockstep on this -- 'Pass the big beautiful bill. Don't question anything.' Well, conservatives do need to stand up and have their voices heard ... if we don't stand up on it, I really fear the direction the country is going.

Is he talking about himself? He's the epitome of the emperor has no clothes. He's the Bernie Sanders of the right. And no, I don't like neocons either.

Fact is no one in congress is getting a damn thing done. Right or wrong at least someone is trying to see what shit sticks to the wall with Trumps approach. I'll take that over a brain dead Biden that literally did nothing for 4 years. Same with Congress. Our judiciary is going to shit.

Would anyone want Kamala? If you run a business and the tariffs are a problem, adjust, don't whine like a little bitch. Harris would have been exponentially worse.

Change takes time. Sometimes change hurts. Sometimes there's mistakes. At least someone is doing something in government for the first time in 4 years.

Rand Paul Still Refusing to Support Trump’s ‘Big, Beautiful Bill’ Over $5T Debt Increase

As Congress races to pass the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) is once again standing firm against what he sees as a betrayal of core Republican values.

Paul appears to be emerging as one of the last fiscal conservatives in Washington as he raises concerns over America’s spiraling national debt.

The Republican from Kentucky told reporters this week that he cannot support the bill in its current form, primarily because it includes a staggering $5 trillion increase in the national debt ceiling — the largest single jump in U.S. history.

“If you increase the ceiling [by] $5 trillion, you’ll meet that,” Paul warned. ...

“If they were to separate out and take the debt ceiling off, I could consider the rest of it.”

Paul blasted his own party for what he described as embracing “Biden-GOP spending levels.”

Though Republicans campaigned against Bidenomics, Paul pointed out that when push came to shove, they renewed Biden’s spending in March.

https://reason.com/2025/06/03/its-rand-paul-and-elon-musk-vs-donald-trump-over-the-big-beautiful-bill/

Trump slammed Sen. Rand Paul (R–Ky.) in a Tuesday morning post on Truth Social that accused the senator of having "very little understanding" of the so-called Big Beautiful Bill (BBB), which the House passed last week. The bill would extend the 2017 personal income tax cuts and includes a number of new tax and spending provisions.

Trump wrote that the bill is a big "WINNER." He may see it that way, but every independent assessment of the package says it will add at least $3 trillion to the long-term deficit (and potentially as much as $5 trillion). That means the bill is doing the opposite of what Trump vowed to do in March during his speech to Congress, when he promised to balance the budget.

The prospect of that increased borrowing is at the root of Paul's objections. In a post on X, Paul seemingly responded to Trump's criticism by showing that he understands exactly what the BBB would do.

"The math doesn't add up," Paul wrote. "I'm not supporting a bill that increases the debt by $5 [trillion]. I refuse to support maintaining Biden spending levels."

Paul reiterated his view on the bill: He wants to extend the 2017 tax cuts, but in such a way that does not add to the deficit. In his posts on Tuesday, Paul added that "at least 4 of us in the Senate feel this way." Four GOP votes against the bill would be enough to block its passage through the Senate.

Musk, who officially departed from his role in the White House last week, jumped into the debate to criticize the bill. "I'm sorry, but I just can't stand it anymore. This massive, outrageous, pork-filled Congressional spending bill is a disgusting abomination," Musk wrote. "Shame on those who voted for it: you know you did wrong. You know it."

Speaker of the House Mike Johnson (R–La.), who shepherded the BBB through the House last week, told The Hill that Musk was "terribly wrong" to criticize the bill. Other conservatives suggested that Musk was motivated more by the loss of tax credits that benefit Tesla than by genuine concern about the deficit.

Musk's motivations might not be pure, but that doesn't mean he's wrong. In a follow-up post on X, he wrote that "Congress is making America bankrupt." No lies detected there—and the BBB will make that situation worse.

The reluctance to do anything about the deficit spending is due to:
1. the short-term hit that lower spending would have on the economy
2. the influence of lobbyists, foremost among them weapons makers

Let me know if I got that wrong somehow.

Kill shot on Rand claim by Miller.
