I thank the ranking member. Madam Speaker, I rise in strong opposition to this brazen political stunt. Qasem Soleimani was a vicious terrorist who built a cult following on the backs of dead Americans. He armed Hezbollah, KH, and other…

I thank Ranking Member Thornberry and Chairman Smith for their leadership in bringing this conference report to the floor. I am very pleased that Space Force, an issue that my good friend, Jim Cooper, and I have been working on for several…

I told General Perna at the Depot Caucus Breakfast 2 or 3 months ago that if he needed some more refinement to that language, just let us know.

I was struck by how many platforms are robotic and autonomous.

I like your new Commandant. He doesn't mind kicking over furniture and getting things done.

In the past, depots have had a hard time advocating for MILCON money for infrastructure.

I am very frustrated at how the events of last week unfolded.

Your patriotism cannot be questioned.

The killing of Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi was an important victory in the fight against ISIS.

The threats to our homeland are real.

The U.S. economy is the envy of many around the world.

Today I ask for the House's attention to recognize the 50th anniversary of the Talladega 500 Superspeedway in Talladega, Alabama. In the mid-1960s, NASCAR founder Bill France, Sr., envisioned a bigger and faster track on the NASCAR…
