In what a Washington Post columnist describes as a rout of Rand Paul isolationism, the Senate just voted overwhelmingly to send another $1.5 billion in foreign aid to Egypt.

The big picture is the new world order. That's why nothing you see ever seems to be fixed. Yours and my agenda are 180' different then theirs. The nice thing is more people are slowly waking up.
1,5 billion dollars to Egypt, for what? And Senate passed this? Do they realize what could 1,5 billion dollars do for hungry people at home. I want to know who are these Lousy.Crooked Senators who voted for this nonsense. Not one more dollar to Egypt and Muslim Brotherhood. BUCK STOPS HERE.
