Senator Rand Paul (R-Ky) said he intends to filibuster the nomination of John Brennan as CIA Director "until I can no longer speak." 

Paul started his filibuster on the House floor at 11:45 am this morning, which continued for a staggering 12 hours at the last update.  He took a break at 3 pm and Senator Mike Lee (R-Utah) continued.  Senator Ted Cruz (R-Texas) took over for Lee at 3:10 pm and Paul returned to the floor at 3:45 pm. 

Paul was later joined by Senator John Barrasso (R-Wyo) at the 10-hour mark, then Senator John Thune (R-SD) took the Senate floor close to 11:30 pm, followed by Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky) - the filibuster continuing for more than 12 hours at the last update!

Paul spoke of the abuses of executive power and civil liberties under Obama's administration.  He objected to Attorney General Eric Holder's response to his question about drone strikes on American citizens in the US.  Holder responded, in a letter stating, "the government had the legal authority to kill a US citizen on American soil."  He added, "Are we going to give up our rights to politicians?"

Paul said that the president's response to his question about drone attacks should have been a resounding "No," but he said the president's response was that he hasn't killed anyone yet, but he could. 

He went on to say, "I will not sit quietly and let him (Obama) shred the Constitution."  He also mentioned that getting a response from the president regarding drone strikes on Americans was like "pulling teeth." 

The White House declined comment Wednesday.  * By the way, the president yesterday stopped all tours of the White House, basically stating austerity measures.  With all of the uprisings against his tyranny and outrageous executive orders, I believe he has a different reason.  Obama doesn't quell spending - ever!  It's not his MO.

"To be bombed in your sleep?  There's nothing American about that; there's nothing Constitutional about that," Paul said.

God bless him!  If even half of our senators had as much conviction and stamina, our nation wouldn't be in the horrible mess it's in.  Rand Paul is telling the truth, America.  Wake up!

The Word of God says concerning the antichrist, "They worshiped the dragon (satan) which gave power to the beast (antichrist); and they worshiped the beast saying, Who is like the beast? Who is able to make war with him?" Revelation 13:4. 

I don't say that Obama is the antichrist; I do not exclude him either.  I do believe that he is a forerunner of what is very soon to come, according to Bible prophecy. 

Are you ready for the return of the Lord?  Jesus said, "Blessed are those servants whom the Lord, when He comes, shall find watching.  Truly I tell you that He will gird Himself and make them sit down to meat and will come forth and serve them" Luke 12:37. 

The Lord loves us so much that He is preparing a heavenly banquet for those who serve Him now, and He will serve us at the "marriage supper of the Lamb!"  Our family members will be there, who served the Lord also, and we will all meet in the clouds one day soon and we will be forever with the Lord God (1 Thessalonians 4:16-18).
