The House Armed Services Committee adopted an amendment to repeal the statutory requirement that the Department of Defense have a chief diversity officer, a senior adviser for diversity and inclusion. I applaud that. It is a good thing…

In closing, a recent story indicated: Servicemembers forced to pay back signing bonuses after being removed after COVID vaccine. They see it as a kick in the face. The Air Force delays bonuses. Higher-than-projected personnel costs are…

I take issue with the characterization of what has transpired with respect to the legislation before us. We have passed, by voice vote even, four bipartisan en bloc amendments with items like China, Taiwan, readiness, munitions, and…

Do you think it is a problem for the Secretary of Homeland Security to come into this room, into the House of Representatives Judiciary Committee, and lie about maintaining operational control of the border?

Your job is to protect the American people from the tyrannical FBI storming the home of an American family.

How on earth did the FBI empower an agent under investigation for potentially corrupt performance ... to undermine a second politically fraught investigation?
