The Public Record
A new report says only 7 percent of scientists believe in God. That is right. And the reason they gave was that the scientists are ``super smart.'' Unbelievable. Most of these absent-minded professors cannot find the toilet. Mr. Speaker, I…
At times the United States has been involved in Nation-building with our dollars. These are handouts. These are Communists. Every Vietnam group that helped American troops while they were over there dying for peace, they have repressed…
A new government study says if you are rich, you will live longer. If you are educated, you will live longer. If you do not smoke, you will probably live longer. If you can avoid cancer, you will live longer. No kidding, Sherlock. After $1…
If we do not do it now, this turkey is dead in the future. If we are going to do it, do it now, if this thing is going to fly. I support it. Citizens should vote. Noncitizens should not vote. We insult no one by ensuring that an illegal…
Mr. Chairman, it was not my intention to bypass the Committee on Standards of Official Conduct. It is my intention, however, to highlight the importance of the infusion of illegal foreign money into our campaigns. If we are to truly reform…
The Lord's prayer is 66 words. The Gettysburg Address is 286 words. The Declaration of Independence is 1,322 words. U.S. regulations on the sale of cabbage, that is right cabbage, is 27,000 words. Now that is not enough to give Hulk…
Terry Sanford's leadership and diligence led Harvard University to name him as one of the most effective governors of the 20th Century. His service in the United States Senate is distinguished by hard work and loyalty to the interests of…
The American people have come to learn something that the Congress has dramatically now started to realize. These are not country club jobs. The Capitol Police place their lives on the line like every other police department in the Nation…
When I was sheriff, I had a deputy gunned down by the name of Sonny Litch. I want to commend the Democrat and Republican leaders of the House the way they have handled this tragedy, because transition to normalcy will be very difficult. On…
I support the rule; I also support the Democrat substitute, and if it fails, I will support the Republican bill. Both bills are better than the current system, and the need for reform is greater than Democrat and Republican posturing…
The World Bank makes loans to communists with American dollars. The World Trade Organization regularly rips us off. The United Nations sends American troops into war. That is right. We are not sending the Peace Corps here, folks. If that…
America had a $15.7 billion record deficit in May. Billion. The formula says for every $1 billion in deficits, America loses 20,000 jobs. So in May, check the formula, America lost 314,000 jobs. These are not burger flippers or chicken…
The Drug Czar opposes it, the White House opposes it, Immigration opposes it, the Pentagon opposes it. They all oppose the Traficant program that authorizes but not mandates the use of troops to straighten out our border. But they also…
Once in America, parents imparted their values and morals to their children. Today, it is out with parents, in with computers. Some even liken it to a Tower of Babble in each family room. Check this out. Last month a woman gave birth on…
Mr. Speaker, I know Jake Pickle, I served with Jake Pickle, and I know that Jake Pickle is deserving of this honor, and I am, too, proud, as other colleagues have spoken, to be a part of this legislation. One thing about Jake Pickle, he…
Mr. Speaker, I knew Dick Cheney and served with Dick Cheney and am proud to be here today associated with this honor being paid to the former Secretary of Defense. I would just like to say that under his stewardship and leadership, two of…
Since 1992, Russia has gotten $35 billion from the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund and foreign aid from the United States of America. And reports say, check this, not one penny of all those billions can be accounted for. Now…
Since I have come here, I have seen what I believe to be a shortfall in the way we treat our Capitol Police, and I do not think there is any Member that does not support our Capitol Police. Number one, we never see any headlines, and that…
On the very day that President Clinton leaves for China, China thumbs their nose at America once again. Check this out. Top U.S. officials say, and I quote: China stole a top secret device off an American satellite. The theft was so…
Russia wants another $10 billion, and President Clinton says, ``Okay with me,'' even though the last $10 billion was stolen. That is right. Russian leaders said, and I quote, ``It's missing.'' In the words of Marvin Gaye, my colleagues…
China blocks access to our products, sells missiles to our enemies, and, if that is not enough to tax your migraine, the President now wants to reward them with permanent most-favored-nation trade status. I think it is time to tell it like…
Mildred Rosario, a sixth grade teacher in the Bronx, was fired. Mildred was fired for attempting to comfort her students over the drowning loss of a fellow classmate by simply saying he was in heaven. Mildred was fired for saying, I quote…
I thought I would just rise to tell it exactly like it is. Last week North Korea threatened Uncle Sam. I want to quote what North Korea said. They said they will not only continue to build ballistic missiles, but they will sell ballistic…
More threats from Communists: North Korea said, ``We will sell missiles to your enemies, and if you want to stop us, Uncle Sam, you will have to pay us.'' Unbelievable. Sources say that North Korea believes there is a softening of resolve…
Japan is beating the White House like a drum. Check this out: Japan lets the yen hit rock bottom, making Japanese products lower than a Dolly Parton wonder bra, forcing Japan's Asian rivals to dial 911 for Uncle Sam, who has already given…
Politicians like James Traficant
