The Public Record
American politician (1941–2014)
There is no war on drugs or terrorism in America. There is a war on kids. There are more prisons, more police, more Federal agents, more drugs than ever. It is unbelievable. The reason is very simple. Our borders are wide open. Wide open…
Who is lying about Waco? Scientist Carl Ghigliotti said the FBI lied, that they did fire automatic weapons into the burning building. But Vector Data Systems of England said the FBI did not lie. Two scientific groups totally disagree. But…
We will be participating in building a facility in Italy that will be covered by Italian law that will limit all contractors to be Italians. My language is not restrictive. All it says is, abide by our buy American law and if anybody has…
Reports show that the FBI lied about Waco. The FBI denied using tear gas until a memo was found and they were forced to admit it. The FBI then confiscated all autopsy reports of victims at Waco and now claims they lost it. In addition, the…
Scientist Carl Gilliotti, a contract expert for the FBI who was deemed extremely competent by the FBI said, ``The FBI lied under oath about Waco when the FBI testified that they did not fire automatic weapons into the burning building.''…
Something does not add up. China is taking $80 billion a year out of our economy now in trade surpluses, and reports say that China is buying tanks, planes, submarines and missiles with our cash. There are also reports that further say, my…
The courts started their assault on God by banning school prayer. The courts then banned the public display of the Christmas nativity scene. The courts then banned students from writing papers about Jesus. Now, if that is not enough to say…
I would like to see that it be possible that American taxpayer dollars be spent to buy American goods and services.
China is methodically developing a powerful military presence. China is building and buying missiles, tanks, aircrafts, and submarines. What China has not built, China has stolen from Uncle Sam, no less. To boot, China is doing all of this…
If we want the administrator to say that it is the sense of Congress to abide by the Buy American Act, I do not know why we should pass the Buy American Act. What is the use of a law if we make it a sense of Congress and they do not have…
On March 23 in my district a 12-year-old boy took a loaded gun to school. Thank God, no one was hurt. But guess what, Mr. Speaker. The gun had a trigger lock. The boy simply searched for and found the key and, bingo, the gun was at school…
I know there has been some talk about possibilities of sediment, and when they start their remediation program, it will involve cleaning up those toxic polluted areas. The point I am making is exactly that, that there are some areas that…
Section (b) states that, even though it is the sense of the Congress that they are not mandated to buy American, section (b) mandates that the agency shall at least make notice that the Congress encourages the purchase of American products.
It encourages the purchases of American-made products. Anyone who gets assistance under the bill shall get a notice of Congress intention to urge them, wherever possible, to buy American-made products. Finally, anyone who is getting these…
The Tax Code is unAmerican. It is also so big it would give King Kong a hernia. But the bad stuff is evident. The Tax Code rewards dependency, subsidizes illegitimacy, kills jobs, and chases companies overseas. Now, if that is not enough…
This China-White House business bothers me. China's trade surplus with Uncle Sam will exceed $70 billion this year and it is common knowledge that China is buying missiles with American cash and then aiming those missiles at American…
Infrared video technology has proven beyond a reasonable doubt that rapid-fire semiautomatic weapons were fired into the Branch Davidian compound after the explosive fire had ignited. Yet all this time, the Justice Department and the FBI…
It does add $35 million. So instead of building schools overseas and vaccinating dogs overseas, the Traficant amendment adds some money for this significant project that Speaker Hastert has identified as a need.
The Justice Department has attacked Bill Gates and Microsoft with a passion, literally trying to destroy the company. Meanwhile, the Justice Department refuses to investigate serious allegations of crimes involving Communist Chinese…
This is a great day for the Mahoning Valley and for the City of Youngstown. Both the gentleman from Ohio (Mr. LaTourette) and the gentleman from Oregon (Mr. Blumenauer) have given many of the credits; and I will not go into those credits…
The Mexican drug cartel crossed our border and opened fire on our security forces. Reports say the Mexican drug barons have placed a $200,000 bounty on any American border guard. Think about it. If these assassins kill five American…
My amendment is right to the point, Mr. Chairman. We provide an awful lot of money around the world, and many times these nations buy product made in Japan and China. I am very concerned that some day China, with a $90 billion trade…
I will vote for the previous question and the rule. Our military has been underfunded. We cannot protect America with a neighborhood crime watch. Congress should be bolstering up our defenses. I will also notify the Congress I will be…
Once again, the Supreme Court is considering a school prayer issue. Beam me up. The founders are rolling over in their graves. The founders never intended to separate God from our schools; the founders simply intended to ensure that there…
The Census Bureau is literally out of control. Check this out: Reports now say that the Census Bureau is, quote/unquote, willing to sacrifice a true head count of American citizens for more personal detailed information. Unbelievable…
Politicians like James Traficant
