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. In fact, I think the Chinese sit back … and laugh at America thinking we’re going to be stronger by borrowing more money from China,” Paul told the chamber. “So I just don’t think it makes us any stronger at all. I think it makes us weaker. It would be one thing if it weren’t being so horribly wasted.” At that, Paul launched into his poster board presentation, focusing on several research initiatives he said many taxpayers would be shocked and angry about if they knew they were being funded. Among them, he said, is a $357,000 study involving “Cocaine and Risky Sex Habits of Quail,” as well as $1.6 million to study “Lizards on a Treadmill.”
Another poster showed award-winning singer and actress Dolly Parton to showcase a $250,000 program that sends “kids in Pakistan to Space Camp and Dollywood,” the latter a Tennessee-based amusement park Parton co-owns with Herschend Family Entertainment which is the most popular tourist attraction in the state.
In addition, Paul highlighted a project involving $700,000 taken by National Science Foundation from an autism research grant to find out whether famed astronaut Neil Armstrong used “a” during his famous declaration during his 1969 moon landing, “one giant leap for mankind.” He noted on Twitter that despite the expenditure and study, “we just don’t know.”
He also drew attention to a $450,000 program to create a “climate […]

Yes, We Need Your Help
I hate being “that guy” who asks people to donate because I think our conservative news network is so crucial, but here I am…
When I left my cushy corporate job in 2017, I did so knowing that my family would have to make sacrifices. But I couldn’t continue to watch the nation slip into oblivion and was inspired by President Trump’s willingness to fight the good fight even at his own personal expense. What I didn’t realize then is that conservative media would be so heavily attacked, canceled, and defunded that the sacrifices would be extreme.
Many in this nation are struggling right now even though we weren’t struggling just a few years ago. I’m not alone. But I wake up every morning and operate the sites we’ve been able to build because there’s really no other choice. I refuse to be beholden to Big Tech like so many other conservative news outlets, which is why you won’t see Google ads here. With that said, it’s often challenging to pay the bills and it’s even harder to expand so we can get the America First message out to a wider audience.
The economic downturn has forced me to make a plea for help. Between cancel culture, lockdowns, and diminishing ad revenue, we need financial assistance in order to continue to spread the truth. We ask all who have the means, please donate through our Giving Fuel. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to expand our reach so the truth can get to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
We currently operate:
- NOQ Report
- Conservative Playlist
- Uncanceled News
- Based Underground
- Five other conservative news sites
I would even be willing to entertain investments and partnerships at this stage. I’ve turned them down in the past because editorial purity is extremely important. I’ll turn them down again if anyone wants us to start supporting RINOs or avoid “taboo” topics like voter fraud, vaccines, or transgender supremacy. But I’d talk to fellow America First patriots who want to help any (or all) of our 10 news sites. Hit me up at jdrucker (at) substack (dot) com if you’re interested.
For those who have the means and just want to help keep the mission of spreading a conservative, Christian message to the nation, please consider a generous donation.
