Rand Paul: Bill Clinton put ‘generation’ of black men in prison

PHILADELPHIA — Republican presidential candidate Rand Paul says he will bash Hillary Clinton over her husband’s record of putting “a generation of black men in prison” if he is the nominee.

Paul, a freshman senator from Kentucky, says he will compete with Clinton in Philadelphia, where Democrats have a 7-to-1 registration advantage, and other impoverished cities by highlighting his support for criminal justice reform.

“If I were the nominee, we will compete in Philadelphia,” he told CBS radio talk show host Dom Giordano at the National Constitution Center.
“I’ll ask Hillary Clinton, what have you done for criminal justice? Your husband passed all the laws that put a generation of black men in prison. Her husband was responsible for that,” he said.

“She’s changing her tune now. She’s changing her tune because people like me have been speaking out against these injustices,” he said.

As president, Clinton signed the 1994 Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act, which gave states fiscal incentives to enact tougher sentencing laws.

Rand Paul just got vindicated BIG TIME!!!

ICYMI, Remember this exchange of Rand grilling Hillary about potential weapons shipments going on out of Libya during that epic Benghazi cmte hearing when Hillary said "what difference does it make" in answering another Senator?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UKkkTXSfygo

Well guess what Judicial Watch uncovered this morning:


Here's Fox News reporting on this ordeal earlier today:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-oTeMREoeHI
If you watch the full video, you notice they mention Hilary's testimony about the weapons in Libya, but FOX never mentions who she had with it.

Alright folks, Rand Paul was right all along!
----
FOX News reported Monday that the US was sending guns to Banias and Borj Islam, Syria before the Benghazi terrorist attack.

US Intelligence agencies were fully aware that weapons were moving from the terrorist stronghold in Libya to Syria before the attack that killed four Americans…
September 16, 2012 DIA Memo copied to the National Security Council, CIA, and others concluded the Benghazi terrorist attack was planned at least ten or more days in advance…

The memo also tied the attack to 9-11… No discussion of a demonstration or anti-Mohammad video.

US officials were aware that weapons were being shipped to Syria by the Port of Benghazi.


The US was in fact running guns from Benghazi to Syria when the annex and consulate were attacked.

Senator Rand Paul questioned Hillary Clinton about this gun running program back in January 2013 during her testimony on the Benghazi terrorist attack.


Hillary Clinton said she did not know about the program while testifying under oath.
Here is the transcript:
Rand Paul accused the Obama administration in January 2013 of running guns to Syrian rebels.
Rand Paul was right.

Seems kinda low to me. I'm not lending coins for such a pathetically low rate. Heck, even double the rate isn't very generous imo.

I'm so happy with what Jordan has to offer, it's so great that everyone should rejoice at this point. We're doing well at this point.

I think when the Muslims are radicalized by whatever means that it's high time to move in a different direction from these kinda folks. There's no future when these kinds go rogue and we should all reject what they have to offer.

There's no doubt that the others are awaiting a new commander in chief to wade the US into something newer to get physical on. I really think Rand Paul is gonna make it to the top and restructure the bad foreign policy into something real good for a change and this will make the world look and feel better. I hope others across the world are hoping and adding to a Rand Paul presidency as well.

This must be one of the sox that the dumbytroll has strengthened and fostered to bring back time and again for the bs factor. It must be hard being an outkast in such a new market that is destined to succeed.

There is a constant newb that is willing to offer you guidance considering your personal ban on any higher level info extraction at this point. The pictures are so wonderful and you'll get another taste later on. That said, you get along with this thing quite well, so enjoy.

Yet nothing. I was thinking we'd see a pump considering what tomorrow holds but even then, nothing thus far. This is a tough cookie to figure out and if there is no action prior to opening day in Sweden tomorrow yet then demand runs the price up during open hours, this will be a first in such a long time. We may be in a new era going forward.

The Pharmacist's take on the post was pretty funny but the post did have value in that these sig campaigns want repetition of their brand by positive, informative posts. So, some of these posts are a little on the bland side and not worthy of being placed in a PhD thesis paper on computer science but it was conveying an opinion on the concept of whether to buy or not. This more this market and consequentially this forum, you're going to get a lot less super nerds w/ extensive knowledge on the intricacies of tech and more normal commentary and opinion. We'll just have to live w/ that as the new norm. I'll take plenty of this if had the luxury of being rid of that demented troll that busts out new sox a dozen times a day and posts disgraceful pics and such.

Rand Paul Dings NSA For Tracking "Innocent Americans"

Washington (CNN) Sen. Rand Paul says the National Security Agency's bulk collection of data on "innocent Americans" has led federal law enforcement officials to lose sight of real threats -- including the Boston Marathon bombers.

"I think if you're not spending so much time and money collecting the information of innocent Americans, maybe we could've spent more time knowing that one of the Tsarnaev boys, one of the Boston bombers, had gone back to Chechnya," the Kentucky Republican senator said on NBC's "Meet the Press."

"We didn't know that, even though we'd been tipped off by the Russians. We had communicated, we had interviewed him, and still didn't know that."

Paul, who's seeking the GOP presidential nomination, said if he's president he would keep the NSA but target the intelligence agency's operations toward more likely terror suspects.

Rand Paul Asks: What Happens When We Topple Secular Dictators?

Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul said Sunday the renewed debate over the Iraq War should raise a more forward-looking question: "Is it a good idea to topple secular dictators? And what happens when we do?"

The origins of the Iraq War have been in the news again as Jeb Bush — another top contender for the GOP presidential nomination in 2016 — stumbled last week in trying to answer whether or not his brother made a mistake invading Iraq in 2003. Bush first said he would have done the same thing, then said it was a hypothetical question he could not answer, then said mistakes were made and he would not have done it.


In an interview aired on NBC's Meet the Press Sunday, Paul said he does not believe the world would be a better place if Saddam Hussein were still in charge in Iraq. But he noted, "when Hussein was toppled, we got chaos. We still have chaos in Iraq. I think it emboldened Iran. I think — we now have the rise of radical Islam in Iraq as well."


"So you have this radical brand of jihad, this radical brand of Islam, that is now strong and growing stronger because of sort of the failed state that Iraq is," Paul added. "You have the same thing going on in Libya. So this is a valid debate and we're gonna have to have this debate, not only in the Republican primary but in the general, as to whether or not it's a good idea. Is intervention always a good idea? Or sometimes does it lead to unintended consequences?"

It should be obvious to everyone right now how scummy the Clintons are by using poor people in third world countries as cover to reel in major cash donations and then pocket most of the loot. There's no way you can love your enemy with the likes of these creeps.

Good grief, I'm glad I wasn't on that flight. I can only imagine the paranoia setting in when this happened, thinking they could be losing it and going down.

Most people are living paycheck to paycheck and thus don't have the luxury of experimenting w/ alternative forms of energy. Usually, you buy a house and just go w/ what is offered. Those who're interested in getting off the grid tend to look into solar panels and stuff.

Dude, if you got a topic you want to share along w/ a link to a site, you should post an intro caption to give people a taste or otherwise folks will just blow it off and not get any info you're trying to spread.

There are two types of businesses: successful ones that don't need financial assistance from the government, and unsuccessful ones that don't deserve it.

Those lucky enough to have foreign deals backed by the Export-Import Bank fall almost entirely in the first group. They don't need the help, but they'll take all the favors they can get.

Only 2% of American exports get this kind of subsidy from the government, and over time, those special taxpayer-funded favors can mean hundreds of millions in additional profit to those lucky few corporations.

As for the others, they're left to compete at a disadvantage. That's not opportunity for all; it's favoritism for a few politically connected cronies.
...
The Sunlight Foundation found 19 of the top 20 organizations lobbying Congress to extend the charter of the Export-Import Bank are direct beneficiaries of its financing and loan guarantees. The cost of such lobbying is far beyond the resources of most small businesses, meaning they don't stand a chance competing for similar subsidies.
...
But it's not just a handful of big domestic companies getting a leg up from Ex-Im. A new study by the Mercatus Center revealed overseas buyers — the foreign businesses on the purchasing end of exports subsidized through Ex-Im — are primarily very large firms.

Additionally, authors Veronique de Rugy and Diane Katz found that "among the top 10 buyers, five are state-controlled and rake in millions of dollars from their own governments in addition to Ex-Im Bank subsidies. These multiple-subsidy streams offset operating costs, and provide a significant competitive advantage over unsubsidized US firms engaged in similar ventures."

Marco Rubio Struggles With Question on Iraq War

Senator Marco Rubio of Florida struggled on Sunday to give clear answers about whether it was a mistake for the United States to go to war against Iraq in 2003, becoming the latest Republican presidential candidate to trip on the wisdom of the military invasion.

Under a barrage of questions from Chris Wallace of Fox News, Mr. Rubio repeatedly said “it was not a mistake” for President George W. Bush to order the invasion based on the intelligence he had at the time. But Mr. Rubio grew defensive as Mr. Wallace pressed him to say flatly whether he now believed the war was a mistake. Mr. Rubio chose instead to criticize the questions themselves, saying that in “the real world” presidents have to make decisions based on evidence presented to them at the time.

...

At one point Mr. Rubio, in discussing the importance of hindsight on the Iraq war, raised a recent boxing fight to make a point. “Based on what we know, a lot of things — based on what we know now, I wouldn’t have thought Manny Pacquiao was going to beat, uh, in that fight a couple weeks ago — — ” Mr. Rubio said before Mr. Wallace interrupted.

The back-and-forth resulted in a two-minute video clip that Republican opponents could use against Mr. Rubio in the future, given that he came across as a politician used to debating fine points and nuances in the United States Senate — a problem that then-Senator John Kerry faced in his presidential run in 2004 — rather than as a seasoned leader used to giving clear statements and sound bites. Mr. Rubio’s readiness for the presidency has been questioned among some Republican voters, given than he is a 43-year-old first-term senator, and moments like the boxing reference seemed discordant on a subject like the Iraq war.

I remember reading in this latest winter season that the ice quantity had been growing down in Antarctica rather than depleting despite the global warming folks saying otherwise. Color me unconcerned.
