Fox News Op-Ed: Dr. Rand Paul: The bombshell revelation about government’s chilling alliance to censor Americans
A bombshell revelation demonstrates the chilling lengths the government will go to censor the American people. I wish I could say I’m surprised, but federal officials have been pressuring Big Tech to censor constitutionally protected speech for quite some time. The House Judiciary Committee and Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government recently released a report revealing the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), the Cybersecurity & Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), and the Global Engagement Center (GEC) coordinated with Stanford University, along with other entities, to censor speech leading up to the 2020 election.

Northern Kentucky Tribune Op-Ed: Say ‘No’ to attack on Kentucky school archery and hunting programs
I know I’m preaching to the choir when I say that the Biden Administration is waging an unprecedented war on Kentucky values. Just ask Kimber Collins, an eighth-grade student at Jenkins Independent in Letcher County, Kentucky, whose school archery program is being defunded by Biden and his gun-grabbing agenda.

The American Conservative Op-Ed: The Federal Government Should Not Be Held Hostage for Ukraine Funding
Today I am putting leadership of the House, the Senate, and the President of the United States on notice. I will not consent to the expedited passage of any spending measure providing more American aid to Ukraine.
Simply put: We have no extra money to send to Ukraine. Our deficit this year will exceed $1.5 trillion. Borrowing money from China to send to Ukraine makes no sense.

Responsible Statecraft Op-Ed: Dr. Rand Paul: ‘We have to be open to’ lifting terror label on Iran military wing
As the negotiations to re-enter the Iran nuclear deal drag on in a stalemate, one of the main sticking points has reportedly been Iran’s demand that its Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps be removed from the U.S. list of foreign terrorist organizations. One of the primary obstacles standing in the way of the Biden administration moving forward with that concession is its fear of domestic political blowback. But one Republican U.S. senator said during a hearing on Wednesday that U.S. negotiators need to seriously consider it.

National Review Op-Ed: Keep Artificial Intelligence out of Government Surveillance
In 1975, the late senator Frank Church said that “the United States government has perfected a technological capability that enables us to monitor the messages that go through the air. . . . That capability at any time could be turned around on the American people, and no American would have any privacy left, such is the capability to monitor everything. . . . There would be no place to hide.”
