If Rand Paul really really wanted to be President, he could pretty much guarantee his election right now by sticking to a Libertarian foreign policy of non-interference and continue railing against the NSA. If he did that, he would probably defeat Hillary Clinton. But he has already tarnished his Libertarian credentials in this Ukrainian crisis. Being a true libertarian in the modern GOP takes courage when it comes to foreign policy. The bully Neocons will call you unAmerican, a Hitler lover, and a coward. So it takes real courage to stand up to that. His father had that courage. Rand Paul does not.

JPMorgan Chase claims it wants to create 500 new jobs in Delaware. Just one problem. They'll only create those jobs if the State of Delaware forks over $1.5 million. That's right. Poor impoverished megabank wants to do the right thing, but simply can't afford to do it on their own. So, they want Delaware taxpayers to pony up. BTW, as usual, looks like Gov. Markell is cheerleading for them.
