While horrific trench warfare was taking place in Europe, half a continent away on April 25, 1915, the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps, ANZAC, set out to capture the Dardanelles and Gallipoli, but met fierce resistance from the…

In the marshy plains where the San Jacinto River meets Buffalo Bayou, now near Houston, General Sam Houston and his volunteer Army of Texians--men from most States and several countries, including Mexico, England, and Germany--faced the…

The Supreme Court of the United States heard the historical case of United States v. Texas, on Monday, regarding executive overreach. People all over the country are interested in this case, but only a handful of spectators could see the…

Both sides must do all they can to foster an environment for seeking peace, and the United States must continue to be there to encourage both sides to seek peace and to ensure Israel's security.

In recent years, the threats to Israel have increased and become even more dangerous.

The groups the Holy Land Foundation, the Kind Hearts, Islamic Association for Palestine--those were tax-exempt organizations that are now defunct.

And there is nothing in the Iran nuclear deal--there is nothing in the deal that prevents additional sanctions from being imposed against Iran for those areas outside of the nuclear deal including their support for terrorism.

Unfortunately, those hurt most by BDS efforts often are Palestinian workers whose jobs are put at risk by those who seek to boycott Israel.

The goal of these haters has been to eliminate the state of Israel, an aggression started as soon as Israel became an established state.

The only path to two states for two peoples is through direct negotiations between the two parties.

I thank the gentleman from New York. I agree with him. A month is really not enough time to celebrate and honor women in our history that just made a big difference in a lot of people's lives.

I strongly support this commonsense legislation. Thousands of Europeans who have traveled to fight alongside ISIS and other terrorist groups throughout the world pose a serious threat to our national security. One of the problems is making…

A satellite flying in space over the Super Bowl, a long-range missile test, 15 other missile launches, the test of a so-called hydrogen bomb, and threats to destroy Manhattan. This is North Korean saber rattling in 2016 alone. It is safe…

I would like to thank the chairman of the Subcommittee on Terrorism, Nonproliferation, and Trade, Congressman Ted Poe, for his leadership in marking up these bills last month.

I support these bills, and I urge my colleagues to do the same.
