Prescient words from my dad @RonPaul, when Congress created DHS in 2002: "The Homeland Security department, like all federal agencies, will increase in size exponentially over the coming decades. Its budget, number of employees, and the scope of its mission will EXPAND.
Congress has no idea what it will have created twenty or fifty years hence, when less popular presidents have the full power of a domestic spying agency at their disposal.
The frightening details of the Homeland Security bill, which authorizes an unprecedented level of warrant less spying on American citizens, are still emerging. Those who still care about the Bill of Rights, particularly the 4th amendment, have every reason to be alarmed."
If only we had listened then!
Sending federal troops to try to quell violence in our cities, allows the Democrats who are allowing this mayhem to shift the blame game to the President.
Better to remind everyone in Chicago, Portland, Seattle, Minneapolis that your cities are burning under the terrible 50 year rule of Democrats!

🧵If H.R. 260 becomes law, $631M meant for Afghanistan reconstruction will be clawed back to the Treasury. After twenty years of war and failure, not another dollar should ever reach the Taliban.
H.R. 260 finally ends Washington’s blind commitment to relocate Afghans without adequate safeguards. We’ve already seen the cost. One National Guardsman is dead at the hands of a terrorist who entered through resettlement. We must put security first.
No country or NGO that props up the Taliban should ever receive U.S. tax dollars. This amendment makes that principle law. America must not bankroll those who side with our enemies.
🧵A vote is coming to send more taxpayer dollars to the refugee program. Don’t be fooled. Appropriators know the public opposes this, so they’ll likely hide it in a CR. Sunlight is the only way to stop it.
After the Somali fraud exposed billions being siphoned off, Washington’s answer is… more money? A program meant to help the vulnerable was looted for years. Why would any Republican senator vote to refill a program that was just ripped off?
They hope you won’t notice. That’s why this will be buried in a continuing resolution. But voters deserve to know who is willing to keep funding a system proven corrupt.
I’m baaaaaack, and I’ve been checking out some of your grievances on X - it’s a good thing @elonmusk let free speech back on here. Some of you would definitely have been banned before. Some of you probably should lay off the eggnog before posting.
Speaking of @elonmusk - I am working on a list of people I would like to make sure you send on one of the first flights to Mars. Let’s chat soon.
Did you know @elonmusk has been vocal and helpful in supporting my friend @thomasmassie? I think it’s because Thomas has the only known Tesla with the Friends of Coal bumper sticker on it. The left doesn’t know what to do with that. Or the reclaimed Tesla batteries that run his off the grid house. It’s pretty awesome, actually.
🧵Many of us were called “conspiracy theorists” for questioning whether or not COVID-19 started because of a lab leak. After all, Anthony Fauci and the NIH had been funding dangerous gain-of-function research.
And because the far Left’s golden child, Dr. Fauci, said we weren’t “following the science,” the mainstream media parroted his talking points and ran with it. forbes.com/sites/startswi…
But don’t forget: Anthony Fauci admitted he *knew* there could be something as serious as a lab leak, but he thought the benefits outweighed the risk of a potential pandemic. Boy, was he wrong…
