Mr. Speaker, there is so much going on these days. We have the responsibility of reining in spending, if we will just simply live up to it. We know that our friends at the other end of the hall, the majority in the Senate, want to spend…

There is an article dated February 9, 2010, in The Washington Times by Bill Gertz that says, the Army was warned about the jihadist threat in '08. It says: Almost 2 years before the deadly Fort Hood shooting by a radicalized Muslim…

Well, my friend the judge indicates he was lucky, unfortunately, in his perverted way of thinking. That also is a way of thinking that confounded Thomas Jefferson when he was negotiating with the Islamic Barbary pirates. He actually…
