It’s Past Time to Sanction Russian Oil

| Posted in Blog

You’d be hard pressed to find this level of bipartisanship on any other issue right now. The United States needs to sanction Russian oil. Almost everyone is united on this point. Heck, even Nancy Pelosi is on board now. But President Biden has staunchly resisted this step so far. (This may be changing. More on that below.) Here’s the issue: a sizeable portion of the Russian economy is…

Russia Shells One of Ukraine's Nuclear Power Plants

| Posted in Blog

This ought to be proof positive that Vladimir Putin has devolved into a sadistic, unhinged lunatic. Reports this hour indicate his Russian army is literally shelling the largest nuclear power plant in all of Europe, which is located in southeast Ukraine. As of 9 PM tonight, it’s unclear how dangerous this situation is. It is truly unconscionable that President Biden has not yet…

No Apparent “Off Ramp”

| Posted in Blog

There’s no question Vladimir Putin completely underestimated two things: (1) the resolve and determination of Ukraine & her people, and (2) the worldwide response from other nations to his tyrannical invasion. Regardless of what ultimately happens in Ukraine, Vladimir Putin has permanently sealed his reputation as a tyrant dictator.  His country will – and should – be crippled…

"American Oil from American Soil"

| Posted in Blog

“American oil from American soil.” A critical lesson we must re-learn – particularly given Russia’s hostile invasion of Ukraine – is that America should NOT be relying on despot dictators for the energy we need. Think of “crude oil” as what comes out of the ground. And think of “finished products” as what’s made from crude oil – things like gasoline, diesel, heating oil, lubricating…

IMPORTANT: on Sunday, the U.S. Embassy in Moscow issued an urgent notice to all U.S. citizens in Russia, advising them to consider leaving that country immediately. Due to Russia’s hostile invasion of Ukraine, many European nations have closed their airspace to Russian airlines.  Additionally, while some non-Russian airlines are still flying to and from that country, it’s not clear…

Growing Fury From a Tyrant Dictator

Tags: Ukraine

Reports this Sunday indicate growing fury from the tyrant dictator of Russia, Vladimir Putin. He's upset because, by most accounts, his invasion of Ukraine has not gone as he'd hoped. To be clear, in terms of sheer weaponry and troops, Russia still has the upper hand here. But Ukraine forces – aided by their ARMED population – are putting up an incredible fight. Thank God. Much of the…

Incredible Courage and Determination

| Posted in Blog

Right now, Ukrainians are fighting like hell for their lives, their families, and their country. God bless those people and their president, who are showing incredible courage and determination. I’m livid over the fact our nation, the United States, is NOT doing what it can or should to help Ukraine. I’m not saying U.S. troops should be engaged in this war, but an evil tyrant, Vladimir…

Not Enough To Deter Continued Aggression

| Posted in Blog

Everyone needs to understand that Russia’s invasion of Ukraine is more than just a regional crisis. Instead, this is a major worldwide problem. We’ve got a tyrannical dictator who appears to have no qualms invading a neighboring country, and nobody knows how far he’s willing to go. Meanwhile, other potentially hostile nations are watching this closely, trying to figure out what they…

Rep. Norman Issues Statement on Russia’s War on Ukraine

| Posted in Press Releases

Late Wednesday night, Rep. Ralph Norman (SC-5) issued the following statement on Vladimir Putin and Russia's war on Ukraine: "War has begun in Ukraine. Despite his lies, his revisionist history, and his psychopathic behavior, the entire world recognizes that Vladimir Putin is solely responsible for this. There can be no doubt that Russia is the aggressor in this war, and the enemy of…

Escalating in the Wrong Direction

| Posted in Blog

The situation with Russia continues to be very tense, and still escalating in the wrong direction. For months, Vladimir Putin has been positioning massive levels of troops and military equipment along Russia’s border with Ukraine. And for months, the United States (and most of the world) has responded to this growing threat with words, not actions. In eastern Ukraine, there are two…
