With the elimination of Qassem Soleimani, President Trump took a much-needed step yesterday to ensure the safety of our troops, civilians, and allies in the Middle East.
Under Obama, we saw that accommodating Iran with a horribly flawed nuclear deal and even billion-dollar ransom payouts failed to change their hostile behavior. In fact, the unwillingness to confront this terrorist… Read more »
Another major milestone reached! Let me first take you back to earlier this year…
For our veterans, I re-introduced a bill in January that would use supercomputers and data scientists at the Dept. of Energy to analyze massive amounts of healthcare data from the Veterans Health Administration.

Several news outlets are reporting today that a Navy Rear Admiral is working through the process to have Chief Eddie Gallagher stripped of his designation as a Navy SEAL.

I received a very kind text message earlier this evening from Andrea Gallagher, the wife of Navy SEAL Eddie Gallagher. I was waiting for the White House to break this news, and that happened just moments ago...

Even though my in-person events are very well-attended, the truth is that telephone town halls allow me to… Read more »
Who among us isn't fascinated to hear the stories of our veterans?
