By David Sherfinski. Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky said Monday that the NSA’s phone-snooping program didn’t catch any terrorists or prevented any attacks, breaking from several of his 2016 GOP presidential rivals, including New Jersey Gov.

NSA Phone-Snooping Program Didn’t Prevent Any Attacks
By David Sherfinski. Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky said Monday that the NSA’s phone-snooping program didn’t catch any terrorists or prevented any attacks, breaking from several of his 2016 GOP presidential rivals, including New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, who have described the program as an effective tool in the fight against terrorism. “There will ... MOREWhy Rand Paul Was The Stealth Winner Of The GOP Debate
by Peter Weber. Fox Business wanted the fourth presidential debate to show that the network respects the Republican presidential candidates, unlike more successful financial news rival CNBC, and it proved that by letting the candidates largely run the show. That tended to favor candidates eager to jump in and assert themselves, so Ohio Gov. ... MOREMatt K. Lewis: Let Rand Be Rand!
The lesson learned. The reviews are in — and it looks like Rand Paul had a good night. Libertarians say he hit his stride. Slate says he’s best when he has nothing left to lose. It was clearly his finest performance of the four debates. As I noted on CNN’s “New Day” Wednesday morning, his heated exchange with Marco Rubio was good for both ... MOREJohn Stossel: Beat The Elite
An exaggerated sense of self-importance. We love to complain about elites, people who seem to have a special advantage, privileges in life. I get annoyed by the Kardashians and other spoiled rich kids. They didn't work for their wealth. They don't contribute. Still, those elites are mostly harmless. But there's one group of truly dangerous ... MOREAfter Budget Deal, A Sense Of Futility Grows In Congress
by Nick Timiraos. Cowards kicking the can. Congress ended an 11th-hour showdown when the Senate passed a bill Friday that raises the debt ceiling for the last time during Barack Obama’s presidency. Many policy makers wish it could be the last such standoff in a long-running drama over the nation’s borrowing limit. The
brinkmanship has grown so ... MORE
Here’s How Rand Paul Wins The Next GOP Debate
by Josh Guckert. The last few weeks have been excellent for the Rand Paul campaign. After being left for dead by numerous media outlets, Paul has experienced new-found momentum, polling in the top five both nationally and in Iowa. He has energized thousands of college students through Students for Rand, and is gaining exposure which he had ... MORESenator Mike Lee: Let's Be Honest About The Debt Limit
Here we go again. The federal government has predictably maxed out its credit card for the fifth time in the last four years. The Treasury Department now insists there will be “catastrophic economic consequences” unless the debt limit is raised by Nov. 3. If that wasn’t depressing enough, consider that Congress has less than two ... MORERumors Of Paul Campaign’s Demise Greatly Exaggerated
by Josh Guckert. A CNN/ORC poll released Tuesday morning shows Rand Paul firmly in the hunt for the Republican nomination, as he is tied with 2008 runner-up Mike Huckabee and within the margin of error of overtaking both Jeb Bush and Marco Rubio, who are tied for third place behind Donald Trump and Ben Carson. Paul does exceptionally ... MOREWhy These "Libertarianism-Is-Over” Stories Are Dumb
by Jack Hunter. I’ve been asked about these types of articles a few times now. Earlier this month, Fox News published “The collapse of Rand Paul and the libertarian moment that never was,” by Jerry Taylor, president of the Niskanen Center, a Washington, DC think tank. Taylor wrote, “If there were any significant support for Libertarian ... MORE
