I thank the gentleman from Colorado for taking advantage of National Bible Week to give us a chance to talk about foundational principles. It was back in 1973--and this is a great book, the Bible. In 1973, a beloved mentor of mine brought…
I was in my office just finishing up a meeting when I saw this going on down here, and I knew I had to come because Chairman Walden-- You don't mind if I call you chairman still? I don't know if that violates any House policy, Mr. Speaker…
I rise in opposition to H.R. 8294, the National Apprenticeship Act. This bill, while well intentioned, fails to deliver on the goal of strengthening our registered apprenticeship system and expanding earn-and-learn opportunities for…
I thank the Speaker and the leadership for asking me, as the chairman of the House Congressional Prayer Caucus, to lead the House in prayer for our President. I would ask the Members to join me. Father, I thank You that You are a God that…
I thank the gentleman for yielding me the time. Madam Speaker, I was told in persuasion class many, many years ago that if you had a weak argument, you shouted all the more. After hearing some of the leadership on the other side of the…
I have an amendment at the desk. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: At the end of division B (before the short title), insert the following: Sec. ___. None of the funds…
It is also in its present format causing unnecessary billions of dollars to be paid by consumers because of the outdated law.
I appreciate the fact that you will be coming to Michigan later this week also.
I hope we can move that forward and use land appropriately and also provide the amazing economic impact that it could possibly be.
Thanks to my chairman in exile. Madam Speaker, I rise in opposition to H.R. 1425, the slow coronavirus cures act. There are many problematic provisions in this bill, but, ultimately, it is yet another political ploy that will not be…
What in the world is happening in our God blessed country? A lengthy pandemic decimating our economy and taking over 121,00 precious American lives, followed by the horrific murder of Mr. George Floyd by a bad cop, leading to nationwide…
This proved to be a terrible policy, as we found out, with the consequences for our seniors, with almost 2,000 nursing home residents in Michigan having died.
It has been the efforts of the long-held Democrat leadership that always complains about not having the outcomes we want.
There is no doubt that Governor Whitmer's order to force nursing homes to accept patients with active COVID-19 infections worsened the state of nursing homes.
Unbelievable. Unfortunately, Michigan was one of the handful of States, about five States, where the Governor issued an executive order forcing nursing homes to admit COVID-19-positive patients.
Until we stop opposing educational choice for minorities, like the D.C. Promise, the complaints ring hollow.
Why did it take you so long to change the policy, not only of putting COVID patients back in the nursing homes, but also reporting?
It shouldn't be disproportionate, based on which State you're in, which party your Governor is in.
What we know in this country is that the enemy is not one another, it's a virus, and the virus doesn't stop at State line and it doesn't stop at party line.
why should the Federal Government be responsible for funding the actions of a State, which are specifically not delegated to the Federal Government?
I want to be a help, certainly, but I think we have to do what the data says from other States as well.
I would hope that you wouldn't expect that other States who have opened up their economies... should be expected to help pick up our shortfall.
May I respond. Education and Labor Committee last week. Mr. McGOVERN. Not a hearing.
I had an experience just last week, in a virtual hearing, when it came my turn to push the ``mute off'' button on the microphone, it didn't work. I was passed over. Then, when I texted in to find out why, I was told, basically: That is too…
