Rand Paul

Kelley Paul, wife of Senator Rand Paul, celebrates lifelong friendships in a beautifully illustrated book about the female bond. When Kelley Paul arrived on the Rhodes College campus in 1981, she immediately bonded with six women. Three decades of intimate friendship later, Kelley celebrates these relationships and the women who inspired them all. The extraordinary lives of Kelley's and her friends' role models--from the Southern matriarch to the poor Irish immigrant--are chronicled in this lovely book which offers oral history along with classic poetry, art, and photography. Throughout, Kelley explores the universal themes of hardship, determination, commitment, family, independence, optimism, friendship and love--and illuminates the power of the female bond that enriches all our lives.

Senator Rand Paul was on to Anthony Fauci from the start. Wielding previously unimaginable power, Fauci misled the country about the origins of the Covid pandemic and shut down scientific dissent. One of the few leaders who dared to challenge "America's Doctor" was Senator Rand Paul, himself a physician. Deception is his indictment of the catastrophic failures of the public health bureaucracy during the pandemic. Senator Paul presents the evidence that: The Covid virus was likely the product of gain-of-function research at the Wuhan lab in China--research funded in part by the U.S. government.Taxpayer dollars for that research were deceptively funneled to Wuhan without the required regulatory review.Fauci and his scientific yes-men knew from day one about Covid's origin and tried to cover it up.Fauci and his allies ruthlessly attacked everyone--including highly qualified scientists--who threatened to reveal the truth about the pandemic. Why? Hundreds of millions of dollars of grants and unreported royalties were at stake, and heads would roll if the truth got out. It almost worked. At Fauci's insistence, the government imposed needlessly extreme lockdowns on Americans at the cost of immense personal and economic destruction. Covid-19 was deadly, but the real killer was the coverup, led by America's most durable medical bureaucrat--a man for whom the truth was too often expendable. Senator Paul makes a powerful case that funding dangerous bioengineering in a totalitarian country is madness. If we don't heed this warning, the next pandemic could be far worse.

A recent poll showed 43% of Americans think more socialism would be a good thing. What do these people not know? Socialism has killed millions, but it's now the ideology du jour on American college campuses and among many leftists. Reintroduced by leaders such as Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the ideology manifests itself in starry-eyed calls for free-spending policies like Medicare-for-all and student loan forgiveness. In The Case Against Socialism, Rand Paul outlines the history of socialism, from Stalin's gulags to the current famine in Venezuela. He tackles common misconceptions about the "utopia" of socialist Europe. As it turns out, Scandinavian countries love capitalism as much as Americans, and have, for decades, been cutting back on the things Bernie loves the most.Socialism's return is only possible because many Americans have forgotten the true dangers of the twentieth-century's deadliest ideology. Paul reveals the devastating truth: for every college student sporting a Che Guevara T-shirt, there's a Venezuelan child dying of starvation. Desperate refugees flee communist Cuba to escape oppressive censorship, rationed food and squalid hospitals, not "free" healthcare. Socialist dictatorships like the People's Republic of China crush freedom of speech and run massive surveillance states while masquerading as enlightened modern nations. Far from providing economic freedom, socialist governments enslave their citizens. They offer illusory promises of safety and equality while restricting personal liberty, tightening state power, sapping human enterprise and making citizens dependent on the dole.If socialism takes hold in America, it will imperil the fate of the world's freest nation, unleashing a plague of oppressive government control. The Case Against Socialism is a timely response to that threat and a call to action against the forces menacing American liberty.

Since being elected to the US Senate in 2010, Rand Paul has been in the forefront of a number of debates and has drafted legislation investigating government wrongs that are regularly being perpetrated against ordinary citizens through misuse and abuse of power. In this book he discusses the many outrageous searches, seizures and arrests that are being unconstitutionally brought upon good, honest tax-paying citizens due to out-of-control government regulations. GOVERNMENT BULLIES is a book with many stories to tell-stories that are hard to believe. It's taking a U.S. Senator to use the power of his office to show all of us the insanity that is taking place in this country: mothers are being arrested for buying raw milk; farmers are being arrested for moving dirt on their own land-for moving dirt! The Gibson guitar company was raided by armed Federal Marshalls and the factory was shut down for using ebony that was purchased from Madagascar to be used in the crafting of their guitars; a family was fined $90,000 by the USDA for selling bunnies without a license!This is our United States of America running amok because thousands upon thousands of regulations have been added to the books since Obama took office and nobody is regulating the regulators. The America people are struggling enough during this financial crisis-and adding this kind of unconstitutional abuse to law-abiding citizens is a travesty-one that Senator Paul intends to stop.
