There is another severe form of punishment when such an assault is committed on our guards at Guantanamo, which apparently is pretty customary down there, of throwing urine or feces on our guards. They have to come up with creative ways to…
I have the same concerns my good friend from Arizona has. As has been discussed here, people around the world, nations around the world watch everything we do to determine are we serious about providing for a defense for America. Are we…
I appreciate my friend very much. Stirring words, and accurate at that. This being a time when we are recessing today through the Thanksgiving holiday, it is that time. We have so much to be thankful for. One of them is that we have a…
Tonight, since we have heard over and over about how destructive the deficits are from the President, I thought we would discuss some of the ways we can work on that. There are plenty of good solutions. We discussed yesterday the fact that…
Well, I appreciate your bringing that point up. I overlooked part B of that plan, but that's what has happened, and that's a great point. As my friend knows--but perhaps the Speaker is not aware--Judge Poe was one of the best known and…
It looks like those folks have found out that Americans have voices, and they can be heard. One of the great things I think that has been realized across America is once again it is being acknowledged that the people are the government…
As I'm sure my friend knows, Juarez, just across the border from El Paso, which you've been discussing, is now called the murder capital of the world. There were 2,600 deaths in one year, last year, in Juarez. We didn't have that many…
I would like to get back to the point where our friends to the south had safe enough areas where we could go back and forth without worrying about it, but it's not to that point right now. I would also submit, I know there are people who…
It is outrageous that we're allowing that kind of danger to permeate our border and we do nothing about it. It's time to get something done. ... What we are trying desperately to avoid is the biggest tax increase in American history…
I talked to a retired FBI agent who said that one of the things they were looking at were terrorist cells overseas who had figured out how to game our system.
And it appeared they would have young women who became pregnant, would get them into the United States to have a baby.
I did not know he would be fired, didn't seek it, and do not know all the reasons for it.
If the things he is misrepresenting now are any indication of past performance, then his actions in this incident may have been the least of his employment problems.
It is my understanding that the East Texas area would benefit greatly from more broadband infrastructure funded in part by this grant.
We were assured of a number of things when this Congress started. For one thing, the swamp was going to be drained. We were told that. There have been a lot of allegations. There's been no draining of anything. We were told this would be…
It is always an honor to be here. We have had quite a day of different suspension bills. It has been an interesting day all the way around. Also I was honored to have a visit from the new president of Baylor University, a man named…
I appreciate my friend from Iowa pointing out some of the problems with the ObamaCare bill and one of the things that just made it a dishonest bill from the beginning. We know this is language from the Constitution itself, Article I…
Well, my friend from Iowa poses a wonderful question, and to make such a judgment call as to the motive, what was the intent here of those now who are saying, you know what, we are going to probably extend the current tax rates. As a judge…
My kids are all grown. They're adults. They went and hired their own accountant, and they all talked to him. The accountant explained that, the way the law is set up, if I die before the end of 2010, there is no death tax at all. He said…
They wouldn't even have to pay anything for the baby. And then they would return back where they could be raised and coddled as future terrorists. And then one day -- 20, 30 years down the road, they could be sent in to help destroy our…
It is always an honor to speak here on the House floor and have that opportunity that was provided by those willing to show the greatest love, according to Jesus, willing to lay down their lives for their friends, their countrymen, so that…
