The United States must make absolutely clear in both word and deed, not just today but every day, and without equivocation that we stand with Israel. Both defensive weapons systems like Iron Dome and David's Sling and all necessary…

I urge my colleagues to join me in supporting H.R. 8036, the Indo-Pacific Security Supplemental Appropriations Act, a bill whose passage is essential to our national security. By far and away, the greatest threat to world peace since the…

Xi Jinping is credibly accused of genocide against the Uyghurs.

The APEC Summit in my opinion was a shameless kowtowing to Xi Jinping.

I urge my colleagues to join me in supporting H.R. 7521, the Protecting Americans from Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act, a bipartisan bill introduced by our colleagues Mike Gallagher and Raja Krishnamoorthi. It is aimed at…

Frank Wolf is as we all know--and if we do not, we should. He's the author of the historic International Religious Freedom Act of 1988.

There is a real effort to look the other way for some political expediency or some issue that they do not want to engage on religious freedom.

I would like to express my strong support for the Uyghur Policy Act, of which I am a proud cosponsor. But more than expressing strong support for this necessary piece of legislation, all of us must continue to show strong support for the…

Friends do not let friends commit human rights abuses.

It's unconscionable that President Tinubu sworn in May 2023 has not acknowledged the religious motivations for those ongoing and escalating attacks.

Thank you for that, and for your leadership on this extremely important issue where religious freedom is being trounced each and every day.

I want to thank my good friend Mr. Lawler for authoring the IGO Anti-Boycott Act, which amends the Anti-Boycott Act of 2018 to apply its provisions also to international governmental organizations. When this bill becomes law, it will…

I speak in strong support of H.R. 533, which would amend the Tibetan Policy Act of 2002. This bill was introduced by Congressman Jim McGovern, House ranking member on the Congressional Executive Commission on China, which I chair, along…

On that I demand the yeas and nays. The yeas and nays were ordered. The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to clause 9 of rule XX, this 15- minute vote on the motion to suspend the rules and pass H.R. 5856, as amended, will be followed by…

When my good friend, Mr. Meeks, talks about education, that is one of the worst parts of what UNRWA does each and every day to young people.

this is nothing more than kicking the can.

In reality, anti-Semitism and terrorist complicity of UNRWA has been established beyond a doubt for decades.

I do not think my patriotism is going to be in question here, but I do think your ability as officials to actually get things done is in question.

I would remind my colleagues again over these many, many decades of trying to end U.S. taxpayer funding for UNRWA and to give it to other agencies that are not trying to create young people who quickly become terrorists.

I just want to make very clear to my colleagues that this will, again, gut the underlying bill.

We need a special envoy to really take this issue and focus on it, bring all the disparate elements together.

I am not for it, the death penalty. I am not for the death penalty in this country.

I mean, I have seen the textbooks. I have had briefings on the textbooks.

We need to find a replacement, we need to find it fast.

It is unconscionable that President Tinubu sworn in May 2023 has not acknowledged the religious motivations for these attacks.
