This is March 6, and I want to talk about March 6 in a historical perspective, history that is very important that Americans know about. Yesterday, on the House floor, I talked about the things that are going on in the Ukraine and compared…
The Russians are invading Ukraine. I think a history lesson is in order. I take you back to 1938. Adolph Hitler annexes a neighbor, Austria. Just took them. Took them over. The West, the world, the freedom-loving people watched. He got…
First, Vladimir Putin invaded Georgia. Now, the Russian bear is after Ukraine. Ukraine is almost totally dependent on Russia for energy. Russian imperialism has proven that it is willing to use gas as a political and economic weapon to…
This resolution expedites the policy of the United States to be--to supply the Russians with--or supply the Ukrainians with natural gas.
We should be a singular voice on this. 'You are not going to be able to hold these countries hostage any longer over the issue of energy.'
There is something that we can do, not only to help the Ukrainians but help stability in the area, and help the United States as well.

War is not the fault of those who fight it. It is the fault of those who wage it.
If the worst human rights abuse in the world is building an apartment building in the wrong place, so any mistake-- decisions made by my own city council may fit into that category--we in this room have heard such incredible human rights…
Israel is our great friend and ally. For over 50 years, the United States and Israeli leaders have been close friends.
Can't we at least prohibit those companies--we know about their--what they are doing in another country.
I am really concerned that they may be actually eliminating species, that they are so successful that they are not breeding enough of these animals to catch up with the robbers of their lives.
America's best athletes carry the banner of Old Glory into the Olympic Games. They are a remarkable breed and have dedicated their lives in training to represent Team USA in lands far, far away. This year is no different as they hit the…
I do not know that the issue before us is whether there should be asylum or not asylum.
