It's not great if you're lactose intolerant, it's really not great if you're stuck on the floor and you're lactose intolerant. Ron Johnson More Quotes by Ron Johnson More Quotes From Ron Johnson There’s a lot of work to be done to reconcile the treatment of pass-throughs in the Senate and House bills, and I am glad to have received assurances I will have a seat at the table during those negotiations. Ron Johnson politics Right now, the vast majority of pass-throughs will not be able to deduct state and local income taxes, where C Corps [C Corporations] will, i don’t see how that is politically sustainable. It’s certainly not fair. It widens with disparity and puts those pass-through businesses at a competitive disadvantage. Ron Johnson latest-headlines The practice also put non-union employees, or union employees who supported other candidates, at a disadvantage, if those employees sought unpaid leave for several weeks for campaign activity, they would not have received the same treatment. Ron Johnson latest-headlines From my standpoint it's repairing the damage done by Obamacare, the biggest most notable damage is these skyrocketing premiums. Ron Johnson top-news There is no excuse for retaliation against VA whistle-blowers like Dr. Klein. The president’s recent executive order makes that abundantly clear. The VA should fully comply with the committee’s request and stop the retaliation against Dr. Klein, who was only trying to expose substandard patient care. Ron Johnson politics It is concerning that when I wrote to the FBI and Department of Justice, they never told me about the fact that they had some FBI asset, whether it was an agent or informant, tailing Soofi and Simpson, why didn’t they intervene? As a member of the Senate oversight committee, I think these agencies should be honest when we actually ask them the questions. But it begs the question, what was the FBI doing in Garland, and why wasn’t the agency direct with me when we first started writing letters about this back in 2015? Ron Johnson politics We haven’t seen any publicity about the unaccompanied children coming in from Central America and we want to highlight that, it’s a real problem, but it’s not the only problem. Ron Johnson politics Based on the results of the election, I am encouraged by the fact that we have an incoming Administration that is dedicated to securing the border. Ron Johnson politics I think it’s one of the messages of this election that the public is disgusted when they see double standards, when they think people in high places, high government officials can get away with what ordinary citizens can't, so, I just think it’s extremely important to follow this thing through and get all the information. Make it public. Ron Johnson politics Specifically, unaccompanied children have been forced to work in unsafe conditions, miss school and become the victims of sexual predators after being dispersed by the U.S. government throughout the country. Ron Johnson politics The DHS was created to unify and improve coordinated efforts to defend our homeland. Refusing to allow armed ICE agents into a USCIS facility to detain a suspected terrorist just a day after a deadly terrorist attack is disturbing. Ron Johnson latest-headlines It’s about holding the bad actors accountable and transparency. Ron Johnson politics I am concerned that ICE is attempting to identify and retaliate against whistleblowers who revealed a lack of cooperation between USCIS and ICE in the aftermath of the terror attacks in San Bernardino, those who have the courage to come forward should not be retaliated against. Ron Johnson politics Instead of trying to improve communications, Ron Johnson said, it appears ICE and its parent agency, DHS, are trying to root out Ron Johnson source. Ron Johnson believes the whistleblowers could face retribution for the revelation. The federal government has a very poor record of retaliation, we’ve held numerous hearings about this. It is really quite shocking how often the federal government retaliates. But I certainly will not stand for it, and I certainly don’t think this committee will stand for any retribution against those who had the courage to come forward to reveal this incident. Federal law expressly protects federal employees who provide information to Congress. In the Dec. 3 incident, USCIS agents were investigating Marquez for marriage fraud, stemming from his 2014 union with Mariya Chernykh, a Russian national married to Farook’s brother. Rodriguez told Johnson’s committee that it was a mistake for his agency’s San Bernardino office to refuse entry to ICE investigators. Ron Johnson politics ICE has a track record of retaliating against whistleblowers, as in the case of Homeland Security Investigations Agent Taylor. Ron Johnson politics It should not take years and years and billions and billions of dollars. Ron Johnson us-news I’m happy to answer questions, or not answer, as the case may be. Ron Johnson politics We'll see how this process plays out. Ron Johnson politics I'll continue to make the case that the most reasonable position at this point in time in history, the best course of action on something so incredibly important is to let the American people decide. Ron Johnson politics The possibility that the administration is pressuring intelligence analysts to conform those assessments to the president's narrative, that we are winning the war against ISIS, when we are not, is unacceptable.
