As a 31-year Army veteran myself, and a grateful father of four sons who have served overseas in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Egypt, I believe very much in the principles of Ronald Reagan, peace through strength. I am very grateful that, in…

Congresswoman Victoria Spartz is correct. We can learn from the lessons of World War II. There was weakness, and with that weakness, Imperial Japan attacked China. Then, ultimately, on December 7, 1941, Japan attacked Pearl Harbor. We must…

6 months ago, the American people elected a Republican House majority to deliver the Commitment to America. On behalf of American families, we will fight to tackle inflation, lowering the cost of living. We are promoting peace through…

I oppose this amendment. As a 31-year Army veteran myself and a very grateful dad of four sons who served in Iraq, Egypt, and Afghanistan, I want to reestablish peace through strength as developed by President Ronald Reagan. We must…

It is so important with lend-lease that we make every effort to provide the people of Ukraine, who are fighting so valiantly with equipment. Many of us thought that they simply couldn't resist, but they are. They are resisting because they…

Indeed, there should be a strategy of U.S. support to defeat war criminal Putin, and it should be clarified. Sadly, we are in a worldwide conflict that we did not start. It was Putin, on February the 24, 2021, that invaded Ukraine. This…

It is really an embarrassment for those in the balcony and those watching on TV to even have to put up listening to amendments to deal with what Matt Rosendale was talking about and to deal with what my amendment is doing, which is similar…

When John Tang was earning his doctoral degree in physics at Georgia Tech in 1999, he never imagined that some 20 years later he would be heading the fourth largest American newspaper by subscription count. At the time, the Chinese…

What my amendment does is codify the Trump administration's guidance to prohibit the display of unapproved flags. My amendment prohibits any member of the Armed Forces or civilian employees of the Department of Defense from displaying a…

Let me reiterate, flags mean something. We wear flags on our sleeves. We honor it prominently on parade fields. We carry it in combat. We drape it over the coffins of those who have given their lives for this Nation. Approved flags include…

May I inquire how much time I have remaining? The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman from South Carolina has 3 minutes remaining.

What he just said, I don't think his facts are right. You could take everybody in this balcony and ask if they know members who fall into two classes of people, those with special needs and those where a man wants to be a girl. Line them…

May I inquire as to how much time is remaining. The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman from South Carolina has 2 minutes remaining.
