The Chinese Government poses a significant threat to our national security that should not be ignored. Yet, the administration of President Biden and Vice President Harris have allowed the CCP to strategically buy agricultural land in our country at an unprecedented rate, including areas disturbingly close to military bases. This is not only jeopardizing our national security by providing our adversaries with a front-row seat to view our military capabilities and emerging technology, but will also undermine American energy independence, push family-run farms out of business, and put our food supply at risk. As a fourth-generation Idahoan who grew up on a farm, I understand how important American farmlands are to economic success, not only in rural communities but our Nation as a whole. I encourage my colleagues in both the House and the Senate to support H.R. 9456, the Protecting American Agriculture from Foreign Adversaries Act to safeguard our food, our security, and our future. ____________________

What is a just transition to so-called clean energy? We have been hearing the term all week from my colleagues across the aisle. Does a just transition mean the highest inflation in 40 years or record energy prices? Does it mean handing…
