The Air Force's unfunded priorities list states that the ground-based strategic deterrent and long-range standoff weapon programs are both expected to run out of funding by the end of the year.

It is imperative that Congress act to eliminate those caps and the risk of sequestration.

Nothing has done more damage to the United States Air Force than budget uncertainty or sequester over the last decade.

They're not out of the woods with respect to Russian interference in their government.

So it is now acknowledged openly by the United States Government that Russia is in violation of the treaty.

It was informative, and I do think what Senator King says is a real option, similar to the Army's warrant program.

I do want to associate myself with the remarks of Senator Donnelly at the end of his remarks about the risks that cryptocurrencies are currently posing as a way for rogue Nations, terrorist organizations, criminal organizations to evade…

Are FSB rules voluntary or binding?

In the long term, military spending is essential for controlling our deficits and ultimately our national debt because it creates the international system in which our economy operates.

I think that is a good thing given that labor for many decades now, especially unskilled, low-skilled laborers, people who are getting out of high school and going straight into the work force or maybe not getting a high school degree have…

I just have to point out that we just increased the defense budget by $85 billion, though, in 1 year.

Was it an irresponsible and rash decision of this Senate to vote in July, 90 to nothing, that Jerusalem is the capital of Israel?

Would it be a positive development for the Middle East for Iran to develop nuclear weapons in 8 to 13 years?

So you'll be unbiased towards WikiLeaks and Julian Assange, but you'll take down videos of people like Marsha Blackburn, a Republican running for the United States Senate?

Is it bias to side with America over our adversaries?

Other than Vladimir Putin and Russia, I can't think of anyone who was more involved in efforts to influence our election last year than Julian Assange and WikiLeaks.

This reminds me of the old line from the Cold War of one who did not see a distinction between the CIA and the KGB...

Twitter was on the side of Russia, as opposed to the national security interests of the United States.

I find that a curious policy since the PC in PCAOB is 'public company,' not 'small firm.'

I believe they see the current status quo as benefiting their interests as opposed to a denuclearized North Korea.

Is there any reason why we should not throw the kitchen sink at them economically, hit them with as much as we can, as fast as we can, as hard as we can?
