Many on the left are horrified at being associated with the neocon foreign policy.
People say, oh, we are going to get rid of the iron fist and Thomas Jefferson is going to rise from the ashes.
I wrote a speech for today. I was planning to say that I fear the chaos of establishing a precedent that Congress can overturn elections. Boy, was I right. Chaos, anarchy--the violence today was wrong and un-American. The vote we are about…
The time has come to declare victory and come home from the war in Afghanistan--the longest war in the history of our country. Over 4,000 Americans have died fighting in Afghanistan, and over 20,000 have been wounded. It is time to bring…
Republicans like to mock modern monetary theory--the idea that government can print money with impunity and that government can spend whatever it wants without the need to tax. Modern monetary theory is basically the Dick Cheney ``deficits…
The Federal Government brought in $3.3 trillion in revenue last year and spent $6.6 trillion for a record- setting $3.3 trillion deficit. If you are looking for more COVID bailout money, we don't have any. The coffers are bare. We have no…
Reserving the right to object, I agree that members of the judicial branch need better protection. In fact, I have been active in this issue for the last couple of years, and each time this has come forward, at the end of the year, with…

Reserving the right to object, I would like to offer across the aisle that we are willing to compromise with the Senator from New Jersey. We are willing to work with him on getting the bill passed. The only thing that we would like to do…

Interesting, Trump's margin of defeat in four states occurred in four data dumps between 1:34-6:31 a.m. Statistical anomaly? Fraud?
We should tell them to celebrate. We should tell them to throw away their masks, go to restaurants, live again, because these people are now immune.
I rise today to honor one of Louisville's finest, Louisville Metro Police Major Aubrey Gregory. Police work is an unquestionably difficult and dangerous job, but it is among the noblest callings. Each and every day, officers risk their…
I rise today to honor one of Louisville's finest, Louisville Metro Police Officer Robinson Desroches. Police work is an unquestionably difficult and dangerous job, but it is among the noblest callings. Each and every day, officers risk…
Reserving the right to object, I have no problem with asking unanimous consent at this point to pass the legislation with a few amendments. Since this will not be going through committee, we ought to, like you say, examine the legislation…
My feeling is there's interstate criminal traffic being paid for across state lines. They flew here on a plane, they've all got fresh new clothes, and they were paid to be here. It is a crime to do that and it needs to be traced. The FBI…
Stand up and fight the socialists poisoning our schools and burning our cities.
To those of you who want to stand up and fight the socialists, poisoning our schools and burning our cities, join me in supporting President Trump. Let's rebuild America together.
