Rand Paul: ‘When Did We Become the Sugar Daddy of the World?’
Jeff Poor 25 Jan 2024
Thursday, during an appearance on FBN’s “Mornings with Maria,” Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) criticized Democrats who backed proposed funding for war-plagued areas in Israel and Ukraine.
The Kentucky Republican suggested it seemed as if the United States was “funding both sides of every war.”
“So he wants to send money overseas more to work on border, you know, and his notion of working on it is really just to spend more money on processing people coming in, Senator,” FBN fill-in host Jackie DeAngelis said.
“Yes and realize the bill is going to have more money for sanctuary cities,” Paul replied. “So the cities that don’t turn anybody in you can rape, murder, pillage in some of these sanctuary cities and if you’re illegally here, they don’t do anything about you. You just fade back into woodwork. The other thing that’s going to happen in this Ukraine bill, this is going to be $11 billion worth of humanitarian assistance, some of that goes to Ukraine but some of that’s going to Gaza.”
“And it’s not clear exactly how much is going to go to the Palestinians, but it’s sort of bizarre that we fund both sides of every war,” he continued. “You know, they’re going to expect us to clean up and repair Ukraine when it’s done being destroyed—the same with Gaza. Gaza is being destroyed but who’s going to pay for it? They expect to us pay for it. And I don’t want a penny going to Hamas or any of these people. Lok, I have great sympathy for those who live in Gaza and the mess they are. And I wish it would stop. But I don’t think we should always have to pay for everything. When did we become the sugar daddy of the world? We’ve got to pay for everything.”

With all the fact-finding missions, junkets, and other domestic nonsense, a few sex workers and some good video, (and a little money under the table) along with contributions and comps--buy the right 400 people off or extort them, and you are running the show.
It's high time we stopped treating our servants like royalty with carte blanche.
Maybe that would cut down on the perfidy, or at least attract fewer people so inclined.

Rand is the only one with some sanity left. :shrug:

Well, the battle IS rapidly growing along our southern borders with GOP governors helping Abbott battle the border crisis.
Sorry folks. That is first and foremost. WE either secure our borders or we're done. That's just the southern border -- in listening to Beck, Chinese nationalists are coming across our northern border.
Ukraine and Israel are defending their borders, how about we secure ours before we further assist them???

Absolutely correct. We should have gotten out of the UN long ago; they're going to hit us hard possibly sooner than later.
