EXCLUSIVE–Rand Paul: Is Our Military Budget too Small, or Is Our Mission too Large?
Since 2001, the U.S. military budget has more than doubled in nominal terms and grown by more than 37 percent, accounting for inflation. The U.S. spends more on its military than the next eight countries combined.
This prompts the question: Is our military budget too small, or is our mission too large?
It’s hard to argue that our military is underfunded. Our mission, on the other hand, includes our involvement in combat operations in Iraq, Syria, Afghanistan, Somalia, Niger, Libya, and Yemen. We have troops in over 50 out of 54 African countries. The wars in Iraq and Afghanistan have cost over a trillion
Ron Paul Liberty Report discusses espionage and leaking classified information with Guest John Kiriakou. Quite possibly the most entertaining episode I have watched and I was surprised I didn't see it here.

Philadelphia real estate investor Howie Rich donated $25,000 and Crane donated $5,000.

THIS is the kind of thing that needs to be happening - not any more of that "let's pass some more laws" BS.
Sic the states on the feds, not the feds on Big Tech.
(And technically, I don't know if "sue" was the right word to use in the thread title, but it's briefer than "file preliminary injunction against".)

But sure, let's talk about Trump and DeSantis and wokeness.
