Zitat des Tages von Joni Ernst:
Our fighters would be nowhere if they didn't have the support coming from folks like those that served with me.
The push for 'Meatless Mondays' in our military is misguided at best and goes against dietary guidelines. Our men and women in uniform should have the option to consume the protein they need, including meat, on a daily basis.
I believe that wholeheartedly - that we have to maintain a strong national defense.
I have never once claimed that I have a Combat Action Badge. I have never claimed that I have a Purple Heart. What I have claimed is that I have served in a combat zone.
When I get to Washington, I'll know how to cut pork. Washington is full of big spenders. Let's make them squeal.
There's a lot we can achieve if we work together.
I have a beautiful little Smith & Wesson, 9 millimeter, and it goes with me virtually everywhere. But I do believe in the right to carry, and I believe in the right to defend myself and my family - whether it's from an intruder or whether it's from the government, should they decide that my rights are no longer important.
It's not enough to be a woman. You have to care about women's issues. And women's issues here in Iowa are that we have a strong economy. We have jobs that our sons and daughters can go off to someday. We have a great educational system. And women want strong national defense. We want to know that our families are going to be safe.
Let's shut down the EPA.
I am very proud of my service, and by law, I am defined as a combat veteran.
Americans have been hurting, but when we demanded solutions, too often Washington responded with the same stale mindset that led to failed policies like Obamacare. It's a mindset that gave us political talking points, not serious solutions.
I am deeply concerned for the safety of our people brought by a lack of a comprehensive strategy to defeat ISIL.
The forces of violence and oppression don't care about the innocent.
My parents taught us to live within our means. It's time to force Washington to do the same.
