There's a lot going on in the world these days. I had an interesting trip to Afghanistan this weekend, a country into which we are pouring billions and billions of dollars and have military there that is keeping President Karzai in office…
One of my concerns over the FBI 5-year "up or out" policy that this Director implemented, it drove thousands of years of FBI experience out of the FBI and left people with much less experience in charge.
These are interesting times we live in, and I've appreciated my friends, my doctor friends. We have got two physicians who would certainly like to help heal America, but we have people in powerful positions in the Senate, as well as the…
As this will be the last session before we go into the Easter district work period, I thought it was appropriate to look back at something historically, and I have a prayer that was given in the United States Senate in the 1940s by Senate…
We've just had a vote on H.R. 5, something very important. It's one of the horrible parts of the ObamaCare bill that we would have a board that would dictate to people what they could or could not have in the way of treatment or care. The…
A couple of issues I want to address. I appreciate so much my friend, Dr. Fleming, who has the adjoining district to mine, across the Sabine River over in Louisiana. He makes great points. We need to get the Federal Government out of the…
the State of South Carolina ought to have some jurisdiction over its own waters.
this government is growing so large based on this kind of stuff coming out of this administration, that government is growing.
that is an unfunded mandate from the Federal Government to the States to comply with this policy, against the States' wishes many times.
I want to be fair to Muslims. I want to be fair to people who practice Islam.
I am curious, Director Abbey, as you take credit for the highest production in the last eight years, has it ever crossed your mind to send a thank you note to President George W. Bush for getting all those leases done that allows you to…
You are going to continue to refuse to allow those leases in that area of Utah, is that correct?
It's always a pleasure to get to address the House in your presence. I tell you what. There was quite an election in November of 2010. One of the results was a freshman named Rob Woodall from Georgia, and the gentleman from Georgia does…
We have got to do better, and there are ways to do that without hurting everybody.
You can buy incredible insurance and give cash in a HSA with a debit card, which will allow patients... to have control of their own health care situation.
I do think it is a good idea to have the biennial budget so that... more oversight to make sure the money is properly expended.
There is no reason we could not go back to 2008 levels and immediately drop over $1 trillion.
We have the moral authority now to tell every government agency... to cut their budgets by 11.4 percent.
We're glad that the President took time out of his schedule from apologizing to people who apparently want others to pay for their contraceptives so that he could see Prime Minister Netanyahu today. He reiterated again what he said last…
There's so much going on in this country. There are so many great folks and some that are not so much. There are stories out indicating that this administration is considering releasing the Blind Sheikh. He's credited with helping…
In conclusion, we pay tribute to a big man, as Jesus said to the poor man of Nazareth, who has now been carried to the bosom of Abraham by the angels. With that, I yield back the balance of my time. ____________________
I always learn something when I hear from my friend, Professor Bishop. It has been staggering to hear the testimony over the last several years as to what has gone on at our border. We used to be a law-and- order country where the law…
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. These are the best of times and in some ways the worst of times. Our freedoms are under assault, and some people in places of leadership do not appreciate the threat to our freedoms and therefore are naively…
Politicians like Louie Gohmert
