Criminal justice reform is about to pass. https://www.politico.com/story/2018/12/11/mcconnell-senate-will-take-up-trump-backed-criminal-justice-reform-1056146


Common thread on all three? Rand Paul. Rand first introduced withdrawing aid from Saudi Arabia three years ago. Rand introduced Economic Freedom Zones during his Presidential run. Rand has been the biggest advocate of criminal justice reform.


Seems like a good week to me.

Those include zones that Bloomberg News and The Associated Press (https://apnews.com/41847c1548e34d0ba8c339836b86ed93?utm_source=Twitte r&utm_campaign=SocialFlow&utm_medium=AP) found contain properties owned by the family of Jared Kushner, Mr. Trump’s son-in-law and a White House adviser.

I dunno, slippery slope and they could next vote to end $30 Billion taxpayers donation being sent to our other closest ally Israel also.

Do we really want that? Let's be careful what we cheer and what we wish for. Dangerous momentum of liberty.
