Last January, the Army Corps triumphantly announced the completion of an 18-year project to repair the Herbert Hoover Dike around Lake Okeechobee at a total cost to taxpayers of $1.5 billion.
Over the nearly two-decade lifespan of the project, each time the Army Corps came asking for more taxpayer funding, the project was heralded as a necessity that would increase the capacity of Lake Okeechobee by more than a foot—reducing the need for harmful discharges to the coastal estuaries, making communities around the lake safer from flood risk and decreasing the risk of water shortage.
Exactly one year ago today, Joe Biden’s incompetence handed Afghanistan back to the Taliban – abandoning the mission where I lost two legs and part of my hand serving our country.
Joe Biden left Americans behind enemy lines, resulting in the death of U.S.
I left two legs in the deserts of Afghanistan, but what Joe Biden left there one year ago this month was far worse.
In his disastrous withdrawal – which his Administration spent almost zero time planning because they were apparently too busy teaching soldiers Critical Race Theory – it was the dead bodies of our allies that were left behind.
When I was serving in Afghanistan, I saw what true evil looks like. I lost two legs and a finger when a Taliban bomb blew up beneath me. I also held my fellow soldiers in my arms as the last breath of life left their bodies.
As a father, on the other hand, I have seen the beauty of innocence and experienced the indisputable value of human life.
This is one of the most ludicrous proposals I have heard during my time in Congress!
Given that Joe Biden’s record-breaking border crisis – which is already seeing roughly 5 illegal border crossings every single minute – is about to get even WORSE if his repeal of “Remain in Mexico” goes through, there are reports that he could be sending a new group to help deal with the chaos: doctors who work for the Department of Veterans’ Affairs.
Today I am officially launching my re-election campaign in Florida’s 21st Congressional District.
While the 21st Congressional District may be a new number, it is largely the same district consisting of Martin, St. Lucie and Palm Beach Counties that I’ve had the honor to serve in Congress over the last 5 years.
