"Every year, young men and women of faith across this country bravely choose to join our nation’s fighting forces. They do so believing that they may simultaneously serve their country and their God"

"This [vaccine] mandate, however, sends a strong signal to these young men and women that they must choose between their faith and their desire to protect America because the military will not reasonably accommodate their sincerely held religious beliefs"
2/
"If the mandate stands, it is likely, then, that it will be more difficult for our military to recruit highly qualified individuals of faith to serve our country—a consequence that is wholly unnecessary, damaging to our military’s morale, and damaging to our national security"

"No right is more precious than the right to religious liberty."
Congressman Roy is proud to join with colleagues in the House and Senate on this amicus brief for service members seeking religious exemptions from President Biden's COVID vaccine mandates.

Over the weekend, two innocent lives were lost in Mission, TX after a smuggler T-boned the victims’ car.

Yes, we are dealing with the highest levels of southern border encounters on record, but even that data point can’t tell the full story of the destruction going on at our border & our communities.
3/ In April, we already knew that cartels were trafficking human beings through suburban communities far from the border
Since then, this crisis has only gotten worse, and cartels have become even more entrenched
Even if you buy that this will be paid for (it won’t) all of the spending is front loaded. It will increase the deficit by $800B over the first 5 yrs before recouping some of the costs later.
This means it will make inflation – which hit a 30 yr high in October – worse.
The American people have been subjected to absolutely INSANE levels of lying, misinformation, and dishonesty from the Biden administration over the past 10 months
Since the corporate media has no real interest in pointing it out, here’s a list:
THREAD 🧵🧵🧵
Let's start with the lie that Biden wouldn't call for a federal vaxx mandate
Then President Elect Biden said in December of 2020 "No - I don't think it should be mandatory. I wouldn't demand it to be mandatory"
The House of Representatives just voted to pass the #NDAA, 316 - 113
134 Republicans voted for it.
While many of them are going to focus on the uncontroversial parts of this “bipartisan” defense bill, there’s plenty in there that isn’t getting enough attention:
THREAD: (1/9)
(2/9)
First, this bill forces young women to register for the draft, which Rep. Roy has been against from the start.
"A vote for this #NDAA is a vote to draft your daughter, your sister, your mother & your wife"
(3/9)
Next up on the list, this #NDAA actually targets the Second Amendment rights of America’s military personnel with unconstitutional, gun-grabbing “red flag” laws.
Yes, that means violating the Constitutional rights of those defending the Constitution.
