When it comes to national security, he has always been one of the thought-leaders. As Intel chairman, he did his best to keep our nation safe.
I wish Richard, Brooke, and the entire Burr family nothing but the best. Well done.

Great farewell speech by my good friend Richard Burr.
Richard has much to be proud of during his time in the House and Senate. We came in together, and it has been a joy serving with him and getting to know his wonderful family.

Retrograde does a wonderful job of showing the human impact of the Biden Administration’s decision and the foreign policy implications that followed.
It reminded me just how irresponsible the Biden Administration was in their decision making abandoning Afghanistan.

With Congress on the verge of repealing the military’s COVID-19 vaccine mandate, U.S. Sen Lindsey Graham said ending the requirement doesn’t do enough to help service members who have been kicked out for refusing the shot.

Paul is a former Marine who has been unjustly accused of spying for the United States.
It is a bitter pill to swallow that Mr. Whelan remains in custody while we release the “Merchant of Death” Viktor Bout back to Russia.

While we appreciate and celebrate the release of Brittney Griner from a Russian penal colony – held on trumped up charges and facing an excessive sentence - we must not lose focus on the fact that Paul Whelan remains unjustly held in Russia. (1/2)

If this is accurate, it would be a major step backwards in our effort to stand up to Russian aggression.
Finally, freedom comes with certain costs that must be borne. This would be considered a slap in the face of freedom.

There are so many to thank, and as I said today, going from 45 feet to 52 feet in depth for the Port of Charleston is the most consequential 7 feet in the history of our state. Well done!

Failure would have jeopardized the future of South Carolina’s economy because so many businesses depend on the Port.
For over a decade, we have been working as a team to make this happen, overcoming many challenges.

I hope and pray Western leaders – who seem to be hell-bent on reentering the Iranian nuclear agreement and providing the Ayatollah and his henchman billions of dollars in funding – will stop this insanity. Instead they should more effectively stand with the Iranian people.

Hoping to get bipartisan support but believe it is imperative that we acknowledge the Second Amendment as an individual right, not just in case law, but statutory law as well. This will strengthen the Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms.

The private cause of action created in this bill is going to open up religious institutions to endless litigation. In the name of protecting one group we have now undermined the rights of another.

My chief objection to the legislation passed today in the Senate requiring recognition of same-sex marriage is the lackluster provisions in the bill protecting religious liberties.
They are woefully inadequate to the task.
