The United States of America (USA), commonly referred to as the United States (U.S.) or America, is a federal republic composed of 50 states, a federal district, five major territories and various possessions. The 48 contiguous states and Washington, D.C., are in central North America between Canada and Mexico. The state of Alaska is in the northwestern part of North America and the state of Hawaii is an archipelago in the mid-Pacific. The territories are scattered about the Pacific Ocean and the Caribbean Sea. At 3.8 million square miles (9.842 million km2) and with over 320 million people, the country is the world's third or fourth-largest by total area and the third most populous. It is one of the world's most ethnically diverse and multicultural nations, the product of large-scale immigration from many countries. The geography and climate of the United States are also extremely diverse, and the country is home to a wide variety of wildlife.
Randal Howard "Rand" Paul (born January 7, 1963) is an American politician and physician. Since 2011, Paul has served in the United States Senate as a member of the Republican Party representing Kentucky. He is the son of former U.S. Representative Ron Paul of Texas.
Born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Paul attended Baylor University and is a graduate of the Duke University School of Medicine. Paul began practicing ophthalmology in 1993 in Bowling Green, Kentucky, and established his own clinic in December 2007. Throughout Paul's life, he volunteered for his father's campaigns. In 2010, Paul entered politics by running for a seat in the United States Senate. Paul has described himself as a Constitutional conservative and a supporter of the Tea Party movement and has advocated for a balanced budget amendment, term limits, and privacy reform.
On April 7, 2015, Paul officially announced his candidacy for the Republican nomination at the 2016 U.S. presidential election. He suspended his campaign on February 3, 2016, shortly after the Iowa caucus.
Longtime senators John McCain and Dick Durbin duel it out old school on the Senate floor regarding the debt ceiling.
In which Craig Benzine teaches you about the United States Congress, and why it's bicameral, and what bicameral means. Craig tells you what the Senate and House of Representatives are for, some of the history of the institutions, and reveal to you just how you can become a representative. It's not that easy. But an eagle gets punched, so there's that.

The Senate continued work on the Keystone XL Pipeline bill on Thursday, voting on 10 amendments. After finishing the votes on those amendments in the evening, another dozen were offered, six Republican and six Democratic. Majority Leader McConnell wanted to vote Thursday night on those pending amendments, Assistant Minority Leader Durbin asked that the votes occur on Friday as Democrats wanted more time to consider the content of the amendments. Sen. McConnell resisted and moved to table each of the pending Democratic amendments. After successfully tabling 5 of 6 Democratic amendments Sen. McConnell offered a unanimous consent agreement to vote on the six GOP amendments and one remaining Democratic amendment on Friday. Clearly irritated by this maneuver Democrats objected. In the end...
The Senate originally met, virtually in secret, on the second floor of Federal Hall in New York City in a room that allowed no spectators. For five years, no notes were published on Senate proceedings. A procedural issue of the early Senate was what role the vice president, the President of the Senate, should have. The first vice president was allowed to craft legislation and participate in debates, but those rights were taken away relatively quickly. John Adams seldom missed a session, but later vice presidents made Senate attendance a rarity. Interestingly, although the founders intended the Senate to be the slower legislative body, in the early years of the Republic, it was the House that took its time passing legislation. Alexander Hamilton’s Bank of the United States and Assumption B...
US Senator Rand Paul tables a resolution to block F-16 sale to Pakistan in the US Senate. Senators Rand Paul, Christopher Murphy and Mark Warner make a strong pitch to stop the sale and severely criticize Pakistan's tacit support for terrorism. Even those who supported the sale were vexed with Pakistan's behaviour. The motion is ultimately defeated 71-24, which means Pakistan would get 8 F-16 fighter jets. Discussion is full but I edited out long silent parts where each senator votes one after another.

Listen to the full audiobook: http://hotaudiobook.com/mabk/30/en/B00WWI076A/book This short audiobook examines Rand Paul's recent filibuster. On March 6, 2013, Senator Paul filibustered the nomination of John Brennan as Cia Director in an effort to draw public attention to the Obama administration's policies on drone warfare. Attorney General Holder had recently suggested that it is lawful to conduct drone strikes against Us citizens on American soil. The public's positive reaction to the filibuster established Paul as a Republican whose libertarian ideals can appeal to voters on both sides of the aisle.

May 17, 2005 British Member of Parliament George Galloway testified at a hearing on how Saddam Hussein manipulated the United Nations' Oil-for-Food Program to win influence and reward friends in order to undermine sanctions imposed on Iraq following the Persian Gulf War. A committee report on alleged abuses of the program had named Minister Galloway as one of several foreign officials who had received lucrative oil allocations in the scheme. Mr. Galloway harshly criticized the report and challenged members to produce evidence of the allegations. He also broadly criticized U.S. policy in Iraq and the decision to use military power to oust the Hussein government. This is not a complete record of the hearing, but contains Mr. Galloway's opening statement in its entirety. Transcript Text: h...

Tired eyes
Closed for days
There's no regret
'Cause there's no place
I don't know
What I believe
But if I feel safe
What do I need
A home
A home
A home
Revolution
Revolution
Revolution blues
What will they do
Revolution
Revolution
Revolution blues
What will they do to me
What will they do to me
What will they do to me
What will they do to me
Dulcet tongues
Whisper fast
The future yearns
Right now's the past
Rouse me soon
The end draws nigh
Who's side are you on
Your blood you cannot buy
Revolution
Revolution
Revolution blues
What will they do
Revolution

Revolution blues
What will they do to you
Well I
I feel alright
So tonight
I got to ask you why
Why deny it
It's no surprise
I've got to survive
Freedom shines the light ahead
I'll lead the last charge to bed
I said my last rights
I don't have to run scared no more
Fight
I wanna fight
I wanna fight a revolution
Tonight
I wanna fight
I wanna fight a revolution
Tonight
At the light
At the light
Do you wanna watch me die
Let me be something good
Let me prove something real like I should
Let me embrace every single living thing
