When Mary Miller tells you something, you can count on her being truthful about it. Mr. Speaker, yesterday, we had many hours of hearings in the Judiciary Committee on a couple of bills. One of them, the Democrat majority and leaders in…
I appreciate my friend bringing that to our attention. That was a great tribute to a great man from a great man. I did attend and help things out at Gilley's on a number of occasions there in Pasadena--Pasadena, Texas, that is--not far…
It is always an honor and a privilege to have a chance to address the House. There is so much that is so critically important going on these days, especially this week, and I wanted the chance to address those. I have a friend from Texas…
What a very fitting and appropriate tribute to such selfless servants. Madam Speaker, I yield to the gentleman from Arkansas (Mr. Hill). Remembering R.D. Kinsey
I am very grateful for the message from my friend from Arkansas, words of wisdom that are greatly appreciated. One of the things we took up this afternoon on a vote here--and if I recall correctly, there were two of us voting no--but I…
I am honored to yield to the gentleman from Kentucky (Mr. Rogers), former chair of the Appropriations Committee. Honoring Fallen Heroes in Floyd County, Kentucky
I thank my friend for having and hosting this time. During biblical times, we read about sacrifices of babies to Moloch and to Baal. How could that happen? How could you allow a child--a tiny baby--to suffer like that? It goes on. I know…
On that I demand the yeas and nays. The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to section 3(s) of House Resolution 8, the yeas and nays are ordered. Pursuant to clause 8 of rule XX, further proceedings on this question are postponed. Amendment No…

Back in high school when I was a senior at a pregame warm-up at Carthage, I had my hands under the center about to take a snap, throw a pass--the manager had my helmet--I am looking at the split end, and the manager yelled, Louie, and I…
And so there's widespread evidence of fraud 'cause people haven't done their jobs. Durham and Barr will deserve a big notation in history when it's written of the rise and fall of the United States if they don't clean up this mess, clean…
I thank the gentleman for his comments. I know my friend mentioned he had been a sheriff. He has great expertise in knowing what he is talking about, and I appreciate his insights as a lawman. Madam Speaker, it is my pleasure and honor to…
I appreciate the wise observations of my friend from Texas. I couldn't have asked for a better lead-in to the thoughts that I have on this very issue. Mr. Arrington had some great insights. I have an article here from, of all things, ABC…
It has been difficult in debate last week and even today to be told that we have no courage. We were told in debate last week: We don't want to hear anymore about social media, violent video games, Hollywood, mental illness. And they sure…
If you`re a Republican, you can`t even lie to Congress or lie to an FBI agent or they`re coming after you. They`re going to bury you. They`re going to put you in the D.C. jail and terrorize and torture you.
It actually puts an exclamation point on the fact that we have a two-tiered justice system. If you're a Republican, you can't even lie to Congress or lie to an FBI agent are -- they're coming after you.
How dare you? You think we don`t have hearts? It`s just that when we look at the things that you`re doing, and you`re trying to do to America, we`ve seen the carnage.
To infer by rhetorical supposed questions, who are you here for, we must be here for the gunman, is an outrage.
Since the '60s we really started having these mass shootings. Perhaps there were something in the '60s.
Dan Lungren had been here when that was passed. He pointed out, and I went back and pulled some articles and found out that he was right, that when the extraordinarily higher punishment for crack cocaine was passed through this Committee…
I appreciate my friend from Arizona so much. I miss her on the Judiciary Committee because of the very type of insights that we just heard from her. I am grateful for her service, her intellect, her insights, and especially her pugnacious…
