Zitat des Tages von Ryan Zinke:
As someone who grew up in a logging and rail town and hiking in Glacier National Park, I am honored and humbled to be asked to serve Montana and America as secretary of interior.
We have more natural resources - coal, oil, wind - across the board not only to be energy independent but to be a leading exporter.
You cannot negotiate with organizations that are based on an ideology whose core is to destroy the West and America.
I've been to war, and I know the consequences and sacrifice it takes. If we must fight, we fight to win.
In the case of the Syrian refugees, most of them are male. Most of them are of military age, and yes, it is a significant security issue in that a background check is only as good as the authorities have information on them.
We often fight wars with our young.
The United States should have stepped up and destroyed ISIS at its origins rather than wait until ISIS grew their capabilities and influence.
I think the soft underbelly of Russia is - what's driving their ability to be aggressive is their energy. If you take the energy out of their economy, Russia is not so strong.
I have always been a strong supporter of public lands and have voted against the transfer or sale of public lands. My position is known and well-established.
The right rules of engagement means giving our forward commanders the authority and flexibility to take the initiative and win. Trust our forward deployed warriors to do their job. Political appointees running the war from Washington is just wrong.
I just want to be a really good congressman. You should look at what you are today and be the very best you can.
At the end of the day, I think you're on high moral ground when you respect Montana and you respect the Constitution and you do your duty as a Senator. We need to put Americans' and Montanans' interests in the front seat and politics in the back.
Too many of Montana's own have fallen in the line of duty fighting radical Islamic terrorists, like 31-year-old husband and father of four, Blackfeet warrior Army Corporal Tony 'Many Hides' of Great Falls.
The quality of our Airmen in Montana coupled with the proven mission excellence of the 120th Airlift Wing, and historical need for assets to fight the devastating forest fires we continue to see in Montana and the Northwest United States, should have mandated the relocation of these assets to Montana.
I've served in 25 nations. I've seen where people don't trust their government. We're there. In the military, the last option is to send in the SEALs.
I will work tirelessly to ensure our public lands are managed and preserved in a way that benefits everyone for generations to come.
Our moral compass - it's always been Judeo-Christian.
The northern border is a different problem set than our southern border. We're not going to put a fence between America and Canada, across Glacier Park. I grew up there. We can use some technological controls. We work with the Canadians more, and there's a lot of property we share, along with tribal lands.
If you find a node that you can penetrate, that you can eliminate, and draw more information for future operations, I think it's prudent to do.
We say to those few who seek to publicize anti-Semitic views that they shall find no safe haven here.
When a recruiter first told me about the Navy SEALs, I knew it was the right fit.
Our veterans have already given everything they have to support and defend our nation - some of them sacrificing life and limb.
When you're asked by the president to serve, it's awfully hard to say no, and I'm loyal.
I want to be a part of the team that's 'making America great again' in whatever capacity I can serve.
My heart is heavy for the people of Paris, Beirut, and other nations affected by ISIS terrorists.
We've walked away from our treaty obligations in Ukraine, putting NATO at risk.
Putin drops bombs. We drop leaflets.
Our military sons and daughters that are placed in harm's way deserve the right equipment, the right training, and the right rules of engagement to win decisively on any field of battle.
Under our rules of engagement, if I were ISIS, what I would do is collocate my headquarters next to a school or a hospital and ensure that there would be collateral damage. They know our rules of engagement as well as we do. They operate with impunity.
I was making Molotov cocktails long before I knew the name for them.
May God bless Montana, God bless America, and God bless the troops who defend her.
A lot of what a military officer does is not just leading troops in combat. It's also doing budgets. It's solving complex problems. If you can sit down with warlords, you can certainly sit down with different parties and folks with different interests and come out with an amenable solution.
The status quo is not working, and I believe that Donald Trump is going to be a phenomenal president.
I believe in the value of life. I believe we must prepare our children for tomorrow with the family values of my grandparents.
Clean air and clean water are absolute top priorities when we talk about responsible energy development; however, the final rule issued by the Obama administration does nothing to further protect our resources.
In the exodus out of Iraq, we're seeing the effects of just leaving. We left before there was control of chemical weapons stockpiles, without a status-of-forces agreement. We left before the Sunni and Kurds we fought with and fought alongside with were stable, or without empowering them. We left on a political rhetoric.
