So-called Patriot Act Renewal Blocked, Thanks to Rand Paul

liberty, rand paul

The Senate blocked reauthorization of the Patriot Act early Saturday, and left for Memorial Day recess without a clear plan to reauthorize the bill before it expires May 31.

Senators rejected both a two-month extension of the bill the National Security Agency uses to justify its bulk collection of phone data, and a reform bill that would make phone companies responsible for keeping the data.

…

Republican Sen. Rand Paul, who is running for president, and largely responsible for preventing the Senate from agreeing to even a 24-hour extension of the bill, lauded the delay. “I am proud to have stood up for the Bill of Rights,” he tweeted Saturday. “But our fight is not over.” (RELATED: Rand Paul Filibuster Ends After Nearly 11 Hours)

Way to go Rand Paul!  I Stand with Rand.

Walking by the Prescott High School on my regular dog walk route I saw this very nice marquee sign in front of the school. “Congratulations Class of 2015”.

Dogs, great dane

Kong the Great Dane

When we were at the western art show I came across this great dane and his owner. I asked if the dog’s name was Tiny or Little, and I was told his name is Kong. Kong was very friendly. Look at his tail wagging.
