U.S. Sen. Rand Paul took to the floor of the Senate Friday morning to rail against irresponsible government spending, using a series of posters during a 32-minute presentation highlighting waste, fraud, and abuse of taxpayer money.
The Kentucky Republican’s speech was aimed at pushing back against a bipartisan bill, the Endless Frontier Act, which supposedly expands research into science and emerging technologies in order for the United States to stay ahead of a rising China. A fiscal conservative, Paul noted that with more than $28 trillion in debt, Congress and the administration ought to be concerned about curbing excessive spending rather than borrowing more money — from Beijing — in order to fund new legislation.
“I don’t think this bill makes us stronger.

We Often Feel Like David Taking on Giants
Today’s Goliath is the Mainstream Media Industrial Complex that brainwashes the masses.
Our mission is very straightforward: To counter the false narratives and nefarious agendas destroying America today. It isn’t easy for obvious reasons; despite incredible growth over the last year we are still a very tiny fish in a huge media pond. But we’re fighting and we will continue to do so, Lord willing, for as long as we possibly can. The battle for America’s present and future is too important for us to back down to the giants that stand in our way.
We need help. I don’t want to say “desperately,” but the need is definitely great. If you have the means, please donate through our GivingFuel page, PayPal, or our Substack page. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to get the truth to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
Thank you, and God Bless!
