Would anyone in their right mind think that crime would go down when we attack and defund the police?

When are we going to have hearings in this committee holding people responsible in cities, municipalities, states, and right here in our own Congress for being soft on crime?

the Federal workforce issues cannot be a one-sided conversation. There has to be accountability, there has to be oversight, not just extra perks, extra pay, and extra protection.

the American public, and the American people do not exist to serve the Federal workforce.

This past election was an absolute disaster under the leadership of Brad Raffensperger.

On that I demand the yeas and nays. The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to section 3(s) of House Resolution 8, the yeas and nays are ordered. Pursuant to clause 8 of rule XX, further proceedings on this question are postponed. Amendment No…

I believe that life begins at conception, and scientific fact establishes that.

We are in decline as a Nation when it comes to the moral and societal decline in our Nation.

Efforts to divert violent criminals out of the criminal justice system have failed.

It is our responsibility to defend it.

Knee-jerk reactions to impose gun control policies that seek to curtail our constitutional right to bear arms are not the answer.

It doesn't appear that the attempts that are produced by the gun restrictions are having any effect of keeping bad people from getting guns.

We need to stop the Defund the Police movement, and that has been an effort by some of our friends on the left.

We need to ensure that we have prosecutors who are tough on crime because that has been a problem in the name of COVID.

It would be wrong for us, just out of the sake of doing something, to measure our personal compassion by how much of other people's constitutional rights we take from them.

We don't pass laws because of the 'one or two psychopaths.'
