Despite mounting evidence of Secretary Clinton's mishandling of classified information at the State Department, the FBI has reached the conclusion that Hillary won't face criminal charges. This is a gross injustice for the American people whose security she jeopardized by sending classified information over a private email server. Secretary Clinton has proven to the public that she cannot be trusted to keep us safe. We need leaders with integrity, and they must know that they will be held accountable for their actions, period.

It seems like we receive new information every day detailing the level of corruption at the State Department during Hillary Clinton’s tenure as Secretary of State. The FBI must do right by the American people and investigate these allegations to the fullest extent of the law. Secretary Clinton must be held accountable for her actions just like every other American. No one – not even the Clintons – are above the law.

It is dangerously naive for Barack Obama and John Kerry to trust the Iranians. I opposed the disastrous Iran nuclear deal every step of the way, and I'm continuing to fight to protect American interests abroad and American families at home.
Iran threatens to shelve nuclear deal at “museum” if U.S. is non-compliant: Government official • The Foreign Desk
A lieutenant commander within Iran’s Revolutionary Guards Corps is celebrating the 37th anniversary of the U.S. Embassy takeover in Tehran by threatening that if the United States does not keep its end of the nuclear deal, Iran will render the deal void, or “send the deal to (the) Museum,” according...

CenturyLink is living proof of the American Dream right here in Louisiana. Starting with only 75 employees, this high-tech company has grown to provide nearly 3,000 jobs in Louisiana. This acquisition will allow CenturyLink to become even more competitive in bringing jobs to Louisiana. I am proud to see the continued growth of CenturyLink and will continue to fight to keep the American Dream alive in Louisiana.

CenturyLink Inc. said Monday that it reached a cash-and-stock deal to buy Level 3 Communications Inc. for roughly $25 billion, a marriage that would give the communications companies more heft to weather a competitive landscape.

This afternoon I had the opportunity to tour the new VA Community-Based Outpatient Clinic that will provide enhanced health care services to veterans in Lafayette and the surrounding communities. Our nation owes a debt of gratitude to those who have sacrificed to protect our freedoms. This has been a long time coming, and I am thrilled this clinic will soon be serving Acadiana’s veterans.

I don’t understand how the Department of Defense expected to get away with this. It is because of the American outcry the Department of Defense has been shamed into stopping efforts to reclaim bonuses issued to our American troops.
Carter suspends bonus clawbacks for California National Guard members
Secretary of Defense Ash Carter said Wednesday he is suspending "all efforts to collect reimbursement" from improperly awarded enlistment bonuses given to some member of the California National Guard, following outrage from veterans and their families over attempts to recover the money 10 years afte...

Yesterday, the Obama Administration announced that health care will once again become more expensive in 2017. This is yet another indication that the Affordable Care Act has made health care anything but affordable. What's becoming even clearer is this law is not sustainable. Obamacare’s failures have led to more money coming out of the pockets of hard-working Americans. We must replace Obamacare with patient-centered policies that drive market-based, competitive pricing before it’s too late.
Obama Administration Confirms Double-Digit Premium Hikes
Premiums will go up sharply next year under President Barack Obama's health care law, and many consumers will be down to just one insurer, the administration confirmed Monday. That's sure to stoke another

Thirty years ago, Ronald Reagan signed into law the largest federal tax overhaul in U.S. history. The law simplified the tax code and set the stage for years of economic growth and prosperity. But today, small business startups are the lowest they have been in decades and our economy isn't growing. We are long overdue for an overhaul of the tax code to revitalize our economy and put Americans back to work.

The United States is set to export more natural gas than it will import for the first time in 60 years. South Louisiana's Sabine Pass terminal is playing a pivotal role in the exporting of natural gas. I am proud to have worked with Cheniere to make this dream a reality.
With the help of Louisiana’s Sabine Pass terminal, US poised to become major LNG exporter - Baton Rouge Business Report
For the time in 60 years, the United States in 2017 will likely sell more natural gas to the world than it buys, Bloomberg reports. Next year, capacity to export liquefied natural gas from the lower 48 states will more than double to 3.2 billion cubic feet per day. So far, all the LNG exports...

The Affordable Care Act has been a complete disaster and has made health insurance unaffordable. We are now seeing another year of health premium increases while health access decreases, as major insurers are washing their hands of Obamacare. We must put families in control of their healthcare, not Washington bureaucrats.
Brutal: The 2017 Obamacare Premium Hikes Have Officially Arrived
Failure.

Hillary Clinton’s email saga continues to show more corruption and total disregard for the law. This is typical Clinton politics. We have seen it play out with the Clinton Foundation, and now with the Undersecretary of State Patrick Kennedy.
Scandals surround Clinton's gatekeeper at State
Republicans aren't surprised at all that Undersecretary of State Patrick Kennedy is in the middle of the latest Hillary Clinton email scandal, since Kennedy has been in the GOP crosshairs for the last four years for other Clinton controversies. FBI notes released Monday indicated that Kennedy offere...
