Recently In Rand Paul's Ancestors & Loved Ones

Admittedly, one can't choose one's pater, let alone pater's friends ...

The Ron Paul Institute For Peace and Prosperity on Wednesday published an article on its website suggesting the recent attacks in Paris that left 17 dead were "a false flag operation."

[...]

"Once again we see the US print and TV media serving as a ministry of propaganda for Washington," wrote Paul Craig Roberts in the article, which was originally published on his own website. "In place of investigation, the media repeats the government’s implausible story."

Huh? Who? The French gov't.'s implausible story? Wha?

Roberts wrote that the attack on French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo "has many of the characteristics of a false flag operation." He speculated that the U.S. perpetrated the attack to bring France under greater American control.

"Clearly, France was showing too much foreign policy independence," Roberts wrote. "The attack on Charlie Hebdo serves to cow France and place France back under Washington’s thumb."

Paul himself has gotten into hot water for publishing Roberts in the past, particularly over a post in which the author suggests the U.S. government carried out the 9/11 attacks.

Now can we give Paul The Younger's presidential hopes the kiss-off? He'll have to piss on his father's grave (Yeah, The Old One's alive as we type.) before the Grand Old War Party looks at him any way but cross-eyed.

Meanwhile, Mrs. Sen. Paul is doing her best reaching out to the ladies & helping hubby:

Kelley Paul/Park City Daily News

Kelley Paul, wife of U.S. Sen. Rand Paul, will speak this week to women’s groups across the state – including stops in southcentral Kentucky – about her new book, “True and Constant Friends.”

The book will be published in April.

Paul will speak about her grandmother Julia O’Toole, who fled poverty in Ireland and came to the United States alone in 1929 at age 19, according to a news release. An essay about her grandmother is one of many about courageous and inspiring women included in her new book.

What's this get filed under? Outreach w/ stories of the past, no mention of, like, issues, just how courageous & inspiring women who shut up & take it are, & hey, "You've come a long way, baby"?
