Mr. Speaker, the Democrats have claimed another victory. The Democrats were successful in stripping the Traficant amendment that would allow troops on the border from the defense bill, and all the Democrats are excited about it, even though our troops are vaccinating dogs in Haiti, they are building homes in Italy, they are guarding the borders in the Mideast, and they are filming political parties at the White House.

The Democrat Party did not kill the Traficant amendment. The Democrat Party is killing the Democrat Party. There is no program.

About 17 years ago I saved all of James Traficant's One-minute Speeches, I happened upon them this evening, and decided to share one of them from 1997.

It's been 22 years since the late James Traficant gave the speech above, yet America is still dealing with the same issues. Do we truly believe the issues will ever be resolved?

No. We have to address the drug use problem inside the US.

Same Traficant that was convicted of bribery? Died a few years back? I thought he was one of the most corrupt to walk the halls of congress, but he did have a point.

“Do we truly believe the issues will ever be resolved?”

With President Trump we have the best. chance. ever.

I wish Melania would get on the drug use/abuse Bandwagon, but the media wouldn’t cover her attempts at all. :(
