Sen. Inhofe on Hagel nomination

By Staff Report

Updated:  Critical of a lack of documentation, late delivery and inadequate disclosure, Sen. Inhofe’s spoke today at the opening of Senate hearings on the nomination of Sen. Chuck Hagel for Secretary of Defense.

Sen. Inhofe:

“Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I join you in welcoming Senator Hagel before this committee and appreciate his continued willingness to serve the United States and the men and women of our Armed Forces.

“Before I continue with my opening statement, I’d like to raise concern about the sufficiency of the materials provided to this committee by our nominee. Senator Hagel only provided four speeches to the committee even though his financial disclosure form reveals that he received honoraria for giving 12 speeches in the last year alone.  Late last night just hours before the today’s hearing began the committee received nearly 230 pages of additional speeches given by the nominee.

Thinking Out Loud: Wingmen!

By John Catrett

The United States Air Force defines “wingman” as a pilot who supports another pilot in a potentially dangerous flying environment – to add an element of mutual support.  The presence of a wingman makes the flight both offensively and defensively more capable by increasing situational awareness.  The wingman’s mere presence minimizes attack by the enemy and increases the ability to employ more dynamic tactics.  The wingman protects the lead pilot by watching his back.

Reform vs. broken laws: Immigration

By Staff Report

U.S. Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL), Ranking Member of the Senate Budget Committee and former Ranking Member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, issued the following statement on the new push for comprehensive immigration reform and amnesty:

“Americans overwhelmingly oppose illegal immigration. They have pleaded with Congress to end the mass illegality for decades to little avail. All the while, millions have been added to the total of those illegally here.

“It’s time to fix that broken system. Now we are told that the Obama Administration and members of Congress say they have a plan that they promise will do the job. So, the American people will need to watch closely. And, members of Congress must insist that they have a full and complete opportunity to study and amend such legislation,” Sessions said.

Sen. Inhofe explains no vote for Kerry

By Staff Report

U.S. Sen. Jim Inhofe (R-Okla.) this week made the following statement after casting a no vote on the nomination of Sen. John Kerry for Secretary of State:

“I have known Sen. Kerry for many years and consider him a friend, however, I am simply too philosophically opposed on the issues to support his nomination,” said Inhofe.

“I do not believe that Kerry is a strong advocate of U.S. sovereignty, but favors expanding the powers of the United Nations at the expense of the U.S.  For example, Kerry was the leader, as Chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee, to pass the Law of the Sea Treaty (LOST), and supports most all sovereignty eroding treaties involving the United Nations including the International Criminal Court, the Convention on the Rights of Person with Disabilities, and the Conference on the Arms Trade Treaty among others.  He was also the champion of the New START Treaty which threatens our nuclear deterrent and stewardship of our nuclear stock pile.

Alexander, Chairman of the Tulsa County Republican Party was cited Wednesday January 23 for criminal assault and battery on a job site (Incident No. 2013004786) while working for the City of Tulsa as a contracted inspector.  While municipal court has not yet adjudicated the charge, the event has many wondering how such a thing could happen as Alexander is best known as an “anti-government activist.”
