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.
It’s beyond anything we have seen before - ever. And they’re not done trying. Now, you’re seeing the first results with skyrocketing costs of food, gas, etc. There are even bigger problems to come if we don’t stop this and change course. foxnews.com/politics/sen-r…
1. Improper CARES Act unemployment insurance payments $36,000,000,000
2. COVID relief grant for NYC to display art projects across the city $25,000,000
3. Tax Credit incentivizing CA residents to uninstall fireplaces $2,100,000
4. Pigeons playing slot machines (NIH) $465,339
Even though this grand holiday of Festivus lets me get a lot out, I don’t want to end there this year.
2021 has brought a lot of good to the world for many, but a lot of tough times for many also, whether illness, job loss or natural disasters like the one that hit my home state of Kentucky recently.
I hope we all take some time this Holiday season to be grateful for the good in our lives and try to lend a hand to others where we can.
Look around your neighborhood or community and do what you can. If you’re so inclined, you can help those impacted by the tornadoes in Kentucky. I’ll post the links again in the next tweet.
Happy #Festivus and Merry Christmas everyone.

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.

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.

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...
