Today House Dems voted that lying about sex is an impeachable offense. That’s not what they said about Bill Clinton 10 years ago.
The fraudulent Iranian election has mobilized opposition to the Mullah regime; the U.S. should back them, now’s the time for a regime change
Guantanamo’s Uyghur prisoners intended to fight Communist China’s tyranny not the USA. We Reps should have the guts to say so. #tcot #Uyghur

Bailout Rip-offs
If a company has been so mismanaged that it has been given a taxpayer bailout in order to survive, taking the loot away from corporate executives who’ve had the chutzpah to give themselves $millions is the right thing to do no matter how it is collected. I would prefer the approach legislation that I have authored takes, which is to require the return to the company of all bonuses given to...
The Only Way to Win in Afghanistan
We must build up the strength and role of indigenous forces in our drive for victory in Afghanistan and deliver on the promises we made to the Afghans decades ago when their fierce resistance, with our aid, led to the signal defeat of Soviet forces and helped end the Cold War.

Had lunch with President & PM of Kosovo; we can be proud that we stood with the Kosovars in their quest 4 freedom & self determination.
Had breakfast w Sec of State Clinton; pushed hard on Afghan policy & human rights issues, including China & Ethiopia.

Just got out of Afghanistan; met old friends who worked with me in past battles against Soviet invaders and Taliban lunatics.
Just completed a frontline tour of Iraq. The good guys are winning. Thank goodness we stood firm long enough.
Voted against the #Stimulus Package, the biggest rip-off in American History! #TCOT
I received an award from the Falun Gong today for my strong stance for human rights in Asia.
I Oppose Los Angeles Port Deal with China
The Port of Los Angeles was wrong to give a contract for security equipment to a Chinese Company in the first place. It was right to take a second look at the matter. It is now wrong to give the issue a third round of decision making. All of this confusion relates directly to the lack of guidelines by the Department of Homeland Security.
The most important factor in purchasing security...

A Modest Proposal for a Bold Agenda
1. CHINA
For the last thirty years, the United States has permitted lopsided trade with China. We have made it easy for American businesses to shut down domestic manufacturing and relocate factories in China. We have closed our eyes to technology rip-offs and the wholesale theft of American intellectual property. All this has been justified by the clearly flawed argument that economic engagement...
