Escaped Mexican drug lord threatens Donald Trump'I'm going to make you eat your words': Mexico's billion-dollar drugs lord THREATENS Donald Trump on Twitter account 'run by his son' and taunts the world after his dramatic escape from prison • Joaquin 'El Chapo' Guzman, head of powerful Sinaloa Cartel, is on the run • He fled a prison in Mexico City through an elaborate tunnel network • El Chapo has now reportedly taken to Twitter to gloat about escape online • Posted threats about Donald Trump who had criticised Guzman's escape • Trump has called in the FBI to investigate the threats made against him Mexico's billion dollar drugs lord known as 'El Chapo' has gloated on Twitter about his escape from a maximum security jail by taunting authorities and threatening US-presidential hopeful Donald Trump. Joaquin Guzman, billionaire head of the powerful Sinaloa Cartel, made his jail break on Saturday morning and is on the run from Altiplano jail, 50 miles outside of Mexico City, security officials said. His audacious escape saw him dash through the mile-long tunnel system, which led to a building under construction next to the prison - from where he collected clothes left for him by his conspirators. But following his escape he has took to Twitter and used it to hit back at Trump, who has said that the Guzman embodies 'everything that is wrong with Mexico' and added he would 'kick his ass'. On the account, administered by Guzman's son Ivan, the escapee reportedly wrote: 'If you keep p****** me off I'm going to make you eat your words you f****** blonde milk-s*****'. In Mexico, a milk-s****** is a homophobic slur. The property magnate is taking the threat seriously. According to TMZ the billionaire has called in the FBI to investigate the source of the Twitter account which warned Trump he would be sorry he spoke out against Mexico. ... http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3159344/There-s-no-jail-big-midget-Mexico-s-billion-dollar-drugs-lord-gloats-Twitter-escaping-prison-shower-block-tunnel.html

Rand Will Vote Against Iran Nuclear DealThe proposed agreement with Iran is unacceptable for the following reasons: 1) sanctions relief precedes evidence of compliance 2) Iran is left with significant nuclear capacity 3) it lifts the ban on selling advanced weapons to Iran.. I will, therefore, vote against the agreement. While I continue to believe that negotiations are preferable to war, I would prefer to keep the interim agreement in place instead of accepting a bad deal. Please help share this news.

I'm so pumped with the grassroots support that Rand has versus any other candidate. He's got over 108k unique donations in the last quarter totaling up to $7 million dollars and 96% of them/me average a donation of 85$ or less. So, he's got plenty more people to donate lot's more over time as we go forward.

Rand Paul, Don’t Swallow The BaitSen. Rand Paul has walked straight into a bait and switch trap set by big-government proponents like Cass Sunstein. In a recent Time magazine commentary, Paul reacted to the Supreme Court ruling on same-sex marriage by pitching the idea of abolishing state recognition of marriage. Paul noted that since the ruling may soon lead the state’s police power to intrude into churches and other religious institutions, “perhaps the time has come to examine whether or not governmental recognition of marriage is a good idea for either party.” He suggests that people draw up contracts instead of obtaining state-issued licenses. Watch your step, Rand! That plan would not at all limit government. It’s central planning in disguise. I know this seems counter-intuitive. After all, libertarians have an old mantra that goes: “Let’s just get the government out of the marriage business!” But that’s an empty slogan. It blindly assumes that government will leave you alone once it no longer has to recognize you and your spouse and potential offspring as bound together as a family unit. These days, nothing can be further from the truth, as I’ll explain below. More... http://thefederalist.com/2015/07/09/rand-paul-dont-swallow-the-bait/

http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/hillary-blasts-gop-rivals-as-mean-spirited-in-economic-policy-speech/article/2568144Less than a month after holding a fundraiser on the sidelines of a Colorado marijuana conference, Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., is joining the fight to give America’s growing legal marijuana industry access to banking services. Paul, the first major-party presidential candidate to publicly seek support from legal marijuana industry, is among the bipartisan co-sponsors of the Marijuana Businesses Access to Banking Act of 2015, introduced Thursday in the Senate. Similar legislation has already been re-introduced in the House after a previous effort to ease access to banking for marijuana companies failed. The Senate bill would prohibit banking regulators from penalizing or discouraging banks from providing financial services to marijuana businesses operating in areas of the U.S. where marijuana has been legalized. It also would ban regulators from terminating federal deposit insurance at banks providing services to state-sanctioned marijuana businesses and would create a safe harbor from criminal prosecution, liability and asset forfeiture for financial institutions who provide services to marijuana businesses operating legally.

Hillary blasts GOP rivals as 'mean-spirited' in economic policy speechOutlining her economic agenda in a speech Monday, Hillary Clinton took aim at her Republican rivals for what she described as "mean-spirited" policies. Clinton advocated for the middle class and a higher minimum wage as part of her "new economic reform" on Monday morning while calling out Republican candidates like Jeb Bush for being stuck in the past. The Democratic front-runner took her first shot at Bush's comment that Americans need to work more hours. The former Florida governor had been talking about the difficulty some Americans face in getting full-time work, but the statement has been wisely interpreted as suggesting people aren't working hard enough. "Well, he must not have met very many American workers," Clinton said to the New York City crowd. "Let him tell that to the nurse who stands on her feet all day or the teacher who is in that classroom, or the trucker who drives all night. Let him tell that to the fast-food workers marching in the streets for better pay. They don't need a lecture. They need a raise."

GOP field knocks Clinton on sharing economyRepublican presidential candidates are knocking Hillary Clinton after she delivered a speech claiming the so-called sharing economy, made up of companies such as Uber and Lyft faced "hard questions." Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul came out with the sharpest barb, saying the country “shouldn’t take advice on the sharing economy from someone who has been driven around in a limo for 30 years,” referring to Clinton’s revelation last year that she hadn’t driven a car since 1996.

GOP Senators look to crack down on Sanctuary Cities“Reasonable people can and do differ on issues of border security, interior enforcement and the status of illegal immigrants present in our nation," said Cotton. "We should not disagree about the importance of the rule of law.” Other Republicans, including Sen. Rand Paul (Ky.), another 2016 contender, are also rolling out legislation in the wake of the shooting. Paul is expected to introduce a measure requiring state and local agencies to tell U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) when they’ve arrested an illegal agreement. The agencies would also have to hold someone if ICE requests. Punishing cities who flout immigration law by fiddling with education funding is a tricky business. You want to avoid hurting schools while making it clear that policies must change. Senator Paul's bill is probably more to the point. It attacks the basis for sanctuary by taking the decision of whether to deport someone out of local authorities hands. This won't guarantee deportation, but it will make it difficult for a city to release a dangerous criminal.

Presidential candidate Rand Paul talks tax reform, criminal justice on first Michigan stopHIGHLAND PARK, MI - A small crowd gathered on the front lawn of a home in Highland Park to hear from presidential hopeful and U.S. Senator Rand Paul Friday afternoon. Appearing with a handful of local elected officials, including Democratic Highland Park Mayor DeAndre Windom, and business leaders, Paul delivered a short outline of his political strategy during his "Unleash the American Dream" event. The Republican candidate said Friday that one of the problems with Washington, D.C., is that Republicans and Democrats are always fighting. "We never get the solutions, because we don't have conversation," Paul said. "I came here, really, not to tell the mayor how to do his job, but to learn more about your city. ... The thing I think we all have to acknowledge is we face a lot of problems in our country ... so we need to figure out what works and what doesn't work."

Rand Paul hits urban issues in Democratic strongholdHighland Park — Rand Paul has made Detroit a regular stop in the past two years, but he returned to the area Friday as a Republican presidential candidate. He used the first of several appearances around the state Friday and Saturday to try to set himself apart from the other 14 GOP hopefuls. The Kentucky senator toured the Democratic stronghold of Highland Park with city, business and faith leaders Friday afternoon. Given the chance to make his case in front of several dozen local residents and campaign supporters, he laid out three areas where his policies stand out. “I’m probably the leading Republican talking about criminal justice,” Paul said. “I’m also the one Republican that has a plan for our big cities and some of the poverty (issues) in the sense that I think that rather than send our money to Washington, we should leave it in our communities. “I’m also a believer in your right to privacy and our right to be left alone. I don’t think the government should collect all of our phone records all of the time without a warrant.” More... http://www.detroitnews.com/story/news/politics/elections/2015/07/10/rand-paul-hits-urban-issues-democratic-stronghold/29991223/

News Media Machine: “Rand Paul Too Short for Presidency.”And so, it has come down to this – with little to no actual criticism left to hurl in Rand Paul‘s direction, the vacuous multitudes of news media – represented as the dismembered jabbering capitulum we all love to hate – have decided enough is enough, drawn a line in the sand, and begun to analyze the vertical stature of the Republican presidential hopeful as a legitimate means of criticism. I wish I were joking. But it’s not a recent phenomenon, judging one’s leadership abilities on how high his head rests above the ground – in fact, in Rand Paul’s case alone, we can find this same argument being used against him as early as two years ago, with Ann Coulter and Michael Savage – fellow conservatives who in theory should want to help support Paul – scathing the man for his height, and even making it into a joke (likely in the hopes that such criticism will be echoed faster in such a humorous form). What solidarity – I can’t possibly imagine why the Republican Party is in such disarray right now with as strong inner support as that going on.

Rand Paul says his message will separate him from the GOP presidential packLOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul says his unique message will separate him from the rest of the pack, as the Republican race for President widens to fifteen. We caught up with Paul in west Louisville as he continues his effort to win African American support. Officially, Rand Paul's visit to the Plymouth Community Renewal Center was not a campaign event. But when you're running for President, every event becomes a campaign event. This was Paul's third visit to the Plymouth Center, but his first since he launched his campaign for President. “This is a huge opportunity for them. Not a lot of kids are going to get to ever meet and sit down and have a discussion with a presidential candidate,” said Markham French, executive director of the Plymouth Center. Paul did lunch with kids taking part in the summer enrichment program and later talked jobs, education and government with a select group of students -- all part of Paul's ongoing effort reach out to African Americans.

Rand Paul mum on Trump's immigration stance
ELIZABETHTOWN, Ky. – Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul declined on Monday to venture an opinion on the incendiary comments of fellow Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump on immigration.
"I've tried to talk about what my plan is for immigration so I don't get trapped into talking about what 20 other people are saying about immigration," Paul said at a stop in Elizabethtown. "As far as I'm concerned I think most people come to this country in search of the American dream. It doesn't mean you can have a lawless border, though."
After speaking to about 25 constituents at the Lincoln Trail Area Development District in Elizabethtown, Paul repeatedly avoided giving reporters an opinion of Trump's immigration comments, which have drawn criticism from some of his GOP presidential rivals.
When asked if Trump's remarks have hurt the Republican Party, Paul said, "I've got to stick with my message. There's 15 other people, if I spend all my time on other people's message …"

Rand golfed w/ Trump last year and Trump also donated to send him on his ophthalmalogy trip to Guatemala so I can see him not offering any comments about T at this point. Trump is saying what populist America wants to here on immigration but goes too far on some of it. See Rand's plan above.
The courier journal hates Rand and thus this hit piece shan't be linked.

Rand Paul goes off on Hillary Clinton, and says she's disqualified from bashing UberPresidential candidate and Sen. Rand Paul (R-Kentucky) blasted former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on Twitter after she questioned the economic model of the so-called "gig" economy in a Monday speech. Clinton, the Democratic front-runner in 2016, said the "'on demand' or so-called 'gig economy'" needs to be examined. She didn't mention the companies by name, but earlier reports suggested she would take aim at firms like Uber and Airbnb. "Meanwhile, many Americans are making extra money renting out a spare room, designing websites, selling products they design themselves at home, or even driving their own car," Clinton said, according to her campaign transcript. She added that this new economic model "is creating exciting opportunities and unleashing innovation but it's also raising hard questions about workplace protections and what a good job will look like in the future."

Rand Paul proposes legislation that will crack down on 'sanctuary' citiesKentucky Senator Rand Paul has introduced new legislation that would crack down on “sanctuary” cities harboring criminal illegal immigrants. The 2016 Republican presidential contender announced last week a proposal that would require state and local law enforcement to notify U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) after the arrest of an illegal immigrant. The legislation, known as the Protecting American Citizens Together Act (PACT Act) would also require law enforcement to detain or transfer an illegal immigrant if requested to do so by ICE. The proposed legislation comes after a 32-year-old San Francisco woman was allegedly shot and killed by an illegal immigrant. Juan Francisco Lopez Sanchez, who has pleaded not guilty, was in the country illegally and had been released from jail months before the shooting, despite a federal immigration order asking local authorities to hold him.

ARIZONA CHAMBER OF COMMERCE: ‘DUMP THE TRUMP’The Arizona Chamber of Commerce says it wants to “Dump the Trump,” claiming that presidential contender Donald Trump “will never make the cut.” In his weekly column, president and CEO of the Arizona Chamber Glenn Hamer called Trump’s comments about Mexico “despicable” and indicative of “an individual who, despite his billions, is astonishingly ignorant about Mexico, trade and immigration.” Hamer’s outpouring of criticism against Trump – who is now leading the pack of GOP hopefuls – comes as Trump is scheduled to be in Arizona Saturday to give a speech about immigration alongside the state’s most famous outspoken sheriff, Joe Arpaio. Trump has had to change venues, however, from the smaller Arizona Biltmore resort in Phoenix to the Phoenix Convention Center, where his campaign is expecting at least 5,000 people in attendance. Hundreds more are reportedly on a waiting list to get into the event. More... http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2015/07/10/arizona-chamber-of-commerce-dump-the-trump/
