Although there are apparently those in the media that think it is fun to belittle people who express their great sympathy, thoughts, and prayers for the victims and their families out in San Bernardino, California, right now, those of us…
Just to follow up on the eloquent 1-minute speech by my friend, Doug LaMalfa, that it is extraordinary to think that the President of the United States--some say he is the leader of the free world--would actually say publicly and, even…
Thank you, and I appreciate the witnesses being here, all of you, and your testimony.
It makes no sense to me that the right of privacy is protected for 6 months but it's not protected more than 6 months.
The way I see this legislation, it's to protect us from the SEC and the IRS and the EPA.
It's Congress' responsibility to say this is an expectation of privacy for Americans.
These are the times that try men's souls. After so many Americans have given the last full measure of devotion for their country, for our freedom, for the freedom of so many others, we are at a time in our history when we have enemies…
It seems like we've blinded, as one intelligence official told me, we've blinded ourselves of the ability to see our enemy.
I do want to commend my friend from Georgia. He speaks eloquently. I hated to lose dear friend, John Linder, from here in this body. He was a brilliant man, with great class. But since he is gone, I am delighted to have Rob Woodall here in…
It has been an interesting day and an interesting week. I was in here listening to the colloquy between Majority Leader McCarthy and the minority whip. I had heard my good friend, a very intelligent, clever, witty friend from Maryland, Mr…
I don't think I ever told you, but back in July-August timeframe of 2007, I was talking with a powerful Democratic Senator, and we agreed that you had a great reputation for justice, honorable man that would potentially be a good Attorney…
I was so pleased with the comment from my friend from Tennessee that Benghazi was politics. That's exactly what we've been trying to get to.
When we hear the actual facts, it turns out, wow, if we provided the money directly to healthcare facilities that do nothing but help women...
If we cut Federal funding for Planned Parenthood across the country, how many women would be denied mammograms? Zero.
I come before this honorable House with an issue that has been rather heartbreaking for so many of us for so long now: In The Middle East, the cradle of Christianity, where it started 2,000 years ago based on the Judeo principles from…
There are those who say you shouldn't shut down the government. We are not going to shut down the government. We are going to fund the government. And I am hoping that we are actually going to fund women's health with more money than what…
Actually, there are some people that it is more of a pleasure to work in this House with than others. Congressman Buck, you are one of those that it is a real honor and privilege to work with. Mr. Speaker, I am back here on the floor to…
Your agency is above the law, with all the damage you do to the environment, and you want to be in charge of all the waters of the United States.
How were you prepared for that other than with waivers of claim certificates?
But it never crossed EPA's mind that you may do more damage than you did good?
Politicians like Louie Gohmert
