Despite Democrats’ obstruction, we broke through and passed funding for Border Patrol and ICE. Under President Trump, Biden’s open-border legacy is over.
It’s interesting that the three secret criteria we’re using to blow up the boats doesn’t include whether they have drugs on board.
In order to blow them up, we don’t have to say that they’re armed or have drugs.
As a physician, I want to thank President Trump for stepping up and speeding up the federal review of psychedelic drugs. These medicines have the potential to help people struggling with serious mental illness.
I’ve long stated that if a war is worth fighting, Congress will vote to declare it and people will volunteer.
I think the problem we have here is a misunderstanding, and it is sort of a false equivalency that somehow granting a boys and girls club a deed to 3 rac{1}{2} acres they have been using for 50-some-odd years that was once held by the…
Paducah, KY, is a town of 26,000 people on the banks of the Ohio River, known for its barbecue, character, and community. At the heart of that community, for more than 70 years, is the Oscar Cross Boys & Girls Club. What began in the 1950s…
the interesting thing we hear--you know, because typically you don't hear it from Republicans--nationwide mandates on refrigerators, nationwide mandates on car manufactures, penalties and Federal punishment if we don't comply with the way…
the most recent assassination attempt makes approval of a secure White House addition more urgent. The National Planning Commission, of which I am a member, voted 8 to 1 to approve the White House addition. Lawfare, though, is currently…
Congress ought to fund border security, but we should be good stewards of the taxpayer dollars and fully pay for the $70 billion to secure our borders. My amendment would eliminate over $5 billion in refugee welfare, cut over $45 billion…
once war begins and American soldiers are under fire, a rational discussion of the pros and cons of war becomes nearly impossible. That is exactly why our Founders wrote a Constitution that demands a debate before the initiation of war…
A freelance journalist discovered recently that billions of dollars had been stolen from welfare programs in Minnesota. Congress didn't discover this theft; a member of the public did. How did Congress respond? Did Congress open an…
It is a naive notion to think that we will yell and scream and gnash our teeth and tell China: Quit selling dual-use materiel to Russia and that they will immediately have a sanguine face and say: Oh, of course. What were we thinking? We…
Lady Astor was the first woman to serve in the British Parliament, the British House of Commons. In 1933, she was asked at a cocktail party: Do you know where Hitler was born? And without missing a beat, she responded: At Versailles. And…
These follow-on strikes of people who are wounded in the ocean is really against our code of military justice.
instead of a clean CR, this bill contains language that has been air-dropped in that will destroy hemp farming in Kentucky and across the United States. Tucked away on page 163, title VII, division B of this spending package is a provision…
I think the answer is to pay more people and not fewer people and to try to get through shutdowns without having people go without pay who are doing their jobs. Now, the proposal was made, and I just simply made a proposal that would pay…
I think it is time that instead of closing the government down further, we begin to open up government. What I will offer is legislation that instead of closing government down further, begins to pay those who are working. It pays our…
I think it is actually a universal sentiment among both parties and among the American people, particularly among the soldiers, that we ought to continue to pay the soldiers and continue to pay the workers. I am, perhaps, the most…
For decades, the globalists in Washington have led our country into one disastrous foreign war after another. Whether in Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Syria, and now potentially Venezuela, the formula is always the same: Proclaim that the…
If anyone gave a you-know-what about justice, perhaps those in charge of deciding whom to kill might let us know their names
