Good morning everyone and welcome to everyone’s favorite holiday - Festivus!
Festivus of course is highlighted by the airing of grievances. I’ve definitely got a lot of problems with you people.
And by you people, I mostly mean the petty tyrants who run your local, state and federal governments. 2021 was a banner year for being a petty tyrant, with them all literally tripping over each other for the dumbest covid lockdown or mandate idea.
Congratulations to California for winning the prize though. The most lockdowns enacted by a petty tyrant while dining massless at a Michelin starred restaurant! (Link to newsome at French laundry)
Washington DC never likes to take a back seat to any petty tyrant. So of course their regulations were almost as bad and their mayor almost as big a hypocrite foxnews.com/politics/dc-ma…
Honestly, I’m torn on whether it’s worse that these tyrants flouted their own rules or if it’s worse if they thought they mattered. “hey you, wear some cotton underwear on your face from the host table to your dinner table.”That’ll fix everything.
It was never clear to me if they thought Covid gathered at entrances, or if they thought it only traveled 5 feet and above, so once you sat down you were all clear.
Most of the ridiculous rules I will blame squarely on our public health officials who should know better, particularly my good friend Anthony Fauci.
I would air my grievance at Fauci again but I try not to be in reruns. facebook.com/watch/?ref=sea…

Damn that guy is wrong a LOT...
I’ll give Fauci one thing - he’s like a bad quarterback after an interception. Absolutely no memory of failure. Just get back out there and do it again. But instead of losing a game, he’s cost a lot of lives and fortunes this past 18 months.
of course Fauci didn’t limit himself to Covid this year. He also funded torturing puppies and monkeys. And no I’m not kidding. thehill.com/changing-ameri…
Seriously, how unbelievable a villain is it who funded fain of function research in China, lied to the public how to protect themselves against Covid, and tortured puppies? I would shut this off if it was a movie, it’s too ridiculous
Of course Fauci is far in the lead for government officials do g dumb or evil things - but he’s far from the only one.
That’s why every year I compile a Festivus waste report. If you want to read it all you’ll have to go to my official senate website or social media. But I’ll tell you about some of my favorites here. dailywire.com/news/rand-paul…
1. Foreign countries use our aircraft for free for 4 years (DOD) $773,000,000
2. US bought Afghanistan planes that were later thrown away (DOD) $549,000,000
3. Funding Green Energy programs in Africa (State) $179,000,000
4. • Fattening eels for human consumption (FDA) $337,500
I’ll be back with more grievances, more waste, more holiday cheer in a little while. In the meantime, I hope you all are airing your grievances as well. Let it out! #Festivus

I’m back with more #Festivus grievances!
Let’s get back to your friendly neighborhood socialists and tyrants in DC, shall we?
In the last 18 months, Congress and the White House have tried to spend nearly ten TRILLION dollars we don’t have. That’s the mother of all grievances right there.

I’m baaaaaack and I’ve been checking some of your grievances out on Twitter - some of you are seriously on the naughty list this year. #Festivus
After Fauci, next on my naughty list is our President. President Biden is now spreading his own version of holiday cheer by telling us all we are going to die.
That’s an interesting tactic, but thankfully I don’t think the President remembers he said it.

HHS Deputy admits Fauci’s NIH funded gain-of-function research in Wuhan but says it was “an unexpected result.” If the experiment combines unknown viruses and tests their ability to infect and damage humanized cells, of course the result is ‘unknown' before the experiment.
But it is not “unexpected” that the virus gains in function it is simply ‘unknown'.
So, if this type of experiment created a virus that had 50% mortality (like MERS which they have experimented with in Wuhan), that result would be “unknown" before the experiment but not “unexpected.”

Last week I grilled Secretary Blinken on the August 29 drone strike that killed ten people.

I asked: Was the target an aid worker or an ISIS-K operative?

And Blinken responded, "I don't know."
You'd think our Secretary of State would kind of know before he offed someone with a predator drone. But if he didn't know - did the president?

Journalists should be asking: did Joe Biden personally approve the drone strike that killed 7 children and an aid worker?
Stand with me: secure.winred.com/randpaul/socia…

It's absolutely appalling that the media and the Biden administration think they can sweep this under the rug.

Great news!  Cleveland clinic study of 52,238 employees shows unvaccinated people who have had COVID 19 have no difference in re-infection rate than people who had COVID 19 and who took the vaccine.
This information frees up millions of doses of vaccines for those not yet infected in places with vaccine shortages like India.

The immune response to natural infection is highly likely to provide protective immunity even against the SARS-CoV-2 variants...
