Congratulating Vmi'S Club Boxing Team

Mr. Speaker, I, too, want to express my thanks to the gentleman from Michigan for his years of service to this country, to this body, and to the great State of Michigan.
Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the Virginia Military Institute Club Boxing Team, which recently won the United States Intercollegiate Boxing Association National Championships in Atlanta, Georgia. This victory marks the program's second national title in seven years, the last of which came in 2015.
Throughout this year's tournament, the team amassed an impressive 20- 8 record, scoring six knockouts, one technical knockout, nine unanimous decisions, and four split decisions. Of the 14 cadets competing, 5 won individual national championship belts, while another 7 took home silver medals. Each of these national champions and runners-up also earned All-American individual honors for their stellar performances in their respective weight classes.
The team's coach, Joe Shafer, credited their win to preparation, dedication, and hard work. Coach Shafer said, ``We represented the Institute with a fighting spirit: honoring VMI's history, upholding the passions of our forefathers, and personifying the principles of excellence for VMI.''
The cadets certainly showcased the very best of the Virginia Military Institute, and the team should be incredibly proud of their efforts. Congratulations again to these national champions. They made the Commonwealth proud.
America's Economic Crisis
Mr. Speaker, our Nation is in the midst of an economic crisis, yet the Biden administration fails to take action to ease the burden on American families.
When inflation began to soar and hit a 40-year high recently, the President's own chief of staff shrugged it off as a ``high-class problem,'' insinuating that it was only affecting the wealthy, which we know not to be true.
Instead of offering solutions, this administration offers excuses. Perhaps worst of all is the fact that when given the chance to combat soaring prices by reining in wasteful spending, President Biden went entirely in the opposite direction by proposing a $5.8 trillion budget that is more of the same liberal, tax-and-spend policies that have led us to this economic crisis in the first place.
If Biden's budget were adopted, the national debt would reach a new record by the end of the decade, growing by over $15 trillion, reaching $45 trillion by 2032 or about $350,000 per household.
Further, not only does his budget proposal include nearly $2.5 trillion in new or increased taxes, it also increases the corporate tax rate to 28 percent, higher than even Communist China. As an American, I am offended by that. Every American should be offended by that.
The Tax Foundation estimated that this increase would kill 159,000 jobs, shrink the economy by $720 billion, and cut wages for low-income workers.
President Biden's budget will leave the overwhelming majority of Americans behind, explode the national debt,
and cause inflation to skyrocket even higher. Our citizens deserve better than what their President is giving them.

Southern Border

Mr. Speaker, the President of the United States takes an oath, promising to faithfully execute the office that he holds. That is a promise to uphold and defend the laws of this country and to protect our Nation's citizens. But President Biden seems determined to violate that oath when it comes to enforcing our immigration and asylum laws.
There is an undeniable crisis at our southern border, and it is a direct result of President Biden's halting of the construction of the border wall, ending the remain-in-Mexico policy and re-implementing catch and release.
Now, instead of taking steps to rectify the situation that he has created, President Biden is preparing to pour fuel on the fire by lifting Title 42. Title 42 is essential to ensuring the immediate expulsion of illegal aliens. And officials within the President's own Department of Homeland Security are sounding the alarm. Officials have said that if this policy is revoked, it would cause a massive run on the border, even worse than we are seeing right now, resulting in upwards of 18,000 illegal crossings a day. That is 6.5 million illegal immigrants crossing every year.
State and local governments, especially school districts across the country, are being overwhelmed. Customs and Border Protection can barely keep up as it is, let alone with that kind of surge. President Biden is failing the American people and his neglect at the border is having catastrophic consequences.

Madam Speaker, when I travel around the Sixth Congressional District of Virginia, folks regularly share their struggles with me in the face of President Biden's inflation crisis, economic crisis, and energy crisis.
They tell me that their hearts sink when they check out at the grocery store and see the price on the screen tick well past what they used to pay to feed their families. They tell me they dread going to the gas station because every time they drive by, they see prices getting higher and higher. They pray their car doesn't break down because they can't afford to fix it or replace it given the rise in the cost of car parts.
They worry about their kids hitting a growth spurt because new clothes are just getting too expensive. And they tell me the disappointment they felt when they let their kids know that the vacation they had been looking forward to had to be canceled or scaled back because the rising cost of flying and lodging made it nearly impossible.
Madam Speaker, folks in rural parts of this country are struggling, and 40-year high inflation rates serve as a tax on all Americans. It is unacceptable that the soaring price of goods cost the average family $3,500 last year.
If Members of Congress truly want to provide relief to their constituents, then they must rein in spending and cut taxes to get our country's economy back on track.
Cave Spring Basketball
Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor the Cave Spring High School boys' basketball team from Roanoke, Virginia, for winning this year's class 3 State championship. Following a near perfect season, the Cave Spring Knights were crowned sole State champions this year after being named co-winners with Lakeland in 2020 due to the COVID pandemic.
From the moment last week's final tipped off against the Petersburg Crimson Wave, it was a great showing from both teams.
After an impressive second-half comeback by Petersburg, Cave Spring was down by 2 with only 1 minute and 45 seconds left on the clock. A quick Knight's basket tied the game, and the Crimson Wave took possession as the seconds passed by. But a timely steal by Cave Spring's senior guard, Owyn Dawyot, gave the Knights one last chance.
As Dawyot headed toward the basket, he was fouled sending him to the free-throw line with just 3 seconds left. After missing the first shot, the pressure was on, but he kept his cool and made the second shot for the final score of the game.
The Knights prevailed, winning 76-75, marking the program's fifth State title and the second under Coach Jacob Gruse.
Congratulations to Cave Spring on this hard-fought win. It was well- earned.
Recognizing Virginia's Lieutenant Governor Winsome Sears
Madam Speaker, as we celebrate Women's History Month, we recognize the list of women who have contributed to moving the United States forward over the past 244 years.
I rise today to recognize one trailblazer in particular, Virginia's current Lieutenant Governor, Winsome Sears. Born in Kingston, Jamaica, Lieutenant Governor Sears moved to the United States at the age of 6 and has since dedicated her life to serving others and her country.
Outside of politics, she ran a homeless shelter, provided ministry to prisoners, and spent 3 years wearing our Nation's uniform in the Marine Corps. It was also an honor to serve with Lieutenant Governor Sears in the Virginia House of Delegates.
Since entering public office, Lieutenant Governor Sears has served as a Presidential appointee to the United States Census Bureau, as a distinguished member of the Advisory Committee on Women Veterans to the United States Secretary of Veterans Affairs, as the vice president of the Virginia State Board of Education, and, as I mentioned, as a delegate in the Virginia General Assembly.
Upon her swearing-in on January 15 of this year, she became the first female veteran to serve as Lieutenant Governor of Virginia and the first Black woman to hold statewide office in the Commonwealth.
We applaud the Lieutenant Governor's lifelong accomplishments and thank her for her service to her community, her Commonwealth, and her country.

Spiking Gas Prices

Mr. Speaker, we all stand united with our allies across Europe and with the people of Ukraine against Vladimir Putin's aggression against this democratically elected country.
We also support actions to stop the purchasing of Russian oil. But without action to increase production here domestically, the American people will suffer.
It was only 2 years ago when, for the first time since the mid-1950s, under President Donald Trump's leadership, the United States was a net total energy exporter in 2019 and 2020.
This was made possible because of the Trump administration's commitment to increasing domestic production of oil and natural gas, which drove costs down and benefited American consumers.
But, sadly, look at where we are now. In just 13 months of President Biden's liberal energy policies, we are now facing skyrocketing gas prices. Even before the crisis in Russia unfolded, gas prices had increased 40 percent, marking an 8-year high.
Now, because of President Biden's Green New Deal attitude and reversal of Trump-era policies, we are once again reliant on countries overseas, and energy costs are soaring.
In my district, across the Roanoke Valley, the cost of a gallon of gas has increased nearly 72 cents in the past month alone. This increase, in and of itself, will cost the average driver $363 a year for those who fill up three times a month. That might not seem like a lot to Washington elites, but it sure is for folks in rural areas like mine.
I urge President Biden to pursue an American agenda to help get this country back to energy independence. If all Joe Biden does is ban Russian oil imports without increasing production domestically, we know where the blame lies for spiking gas prices: 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.
Congratulating the Strasburg High School Wrestling Team
Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the Strasburg High School wrestling team for winning this year's VHSL Class 2 State championship.
This victory marks the program's fifth overall State title and the first in 22 years.
The Rams dominated the competition, ending the tournament with a total score of 218 points. This was truly impressive, considering the runner-up, the four-time defending champion, Poquoson High School, scored only 150.5 points, meaning the margin of victory was nearly 70 points.
This win was a total team effort, with all 11 Rams wrestlers who qualified for the tournament placing in the top four of their weight class. As Coach Daniel Reynolds noted:
It is an incredible feat that we were able to bring 11 and
place 11, bring six to the finals. To have three champions of
six finalists is great.
The three Strasburg athletes that took home individual titles were sophomores Heath and David Burks and junior Chuck Fake.
Further, with only one graduating senior in the starting lineup this year, the prospects for another great season are high.
Congratulations again to the Strasburg High School wrestling team. They deserve it.

Mr. Speaker, last night President Biden tried to paint his administration in a positive light during the State of the Union address, but the American people know better.
We are facing an unprecedented number of crises: an economic crisis, a border crisis, a crime crisis, an energy crisis, and an unprecedented national security crisis. Every one of these crises have been either created or made worse by President Biden and congressional Democrats.
Simply put, Democrats own these crises, but I am sure--and we did see--an attempt by President Biden to dress up these disasters and highlight victories that simply don't exist.
While President Biden tries to take credit for accomplishments he had no responsibility in delivering, House Republicans remain committed to showcasing to the American people what we stand for: unleashing American energy independence, peace through strength, respecting the Constitution, putting power back in the hands of parents, lowering taxes, balancing budgets, and securing our southern border.
Mr. Speaker, if given the opportunity, Republicans will lead on these issues, and I look forward to delivering on the day that that happens.
Support for Ukraine
Mr. Speaker, I rise today to offer my support to the people of Ukraine. All Americans stand in solidarity against Russian aggression, and we pray for peace.
However, as the conflict escalates and we call for not one more drop of Russian oil to be imported into this Nation, the United States must make energy independence a priority.
Prior to the invasion, gas here at home was already 40 percent higher than it was 12 months ago, marking an 8-year high. Now, as the world sanctions Russia, prices are climbing yet again, and experts predict Americans could soon be paying more than $5 for a gallon of gas.
In response, the President announced that he is releasing 30 million barrels from the U.S. strategic oil reserves. It sounds great, but considering the United States uses more than 20 million barrels a day, this is nothing more than a gimmick. A day-and-a-half worth of oil is not going to reduce costs for American businesses, workers, and families in my district.
There must be a comprehensive plan that leads us back to the energy independence we enjoyed during the Trump administration, and it starts with lifting the President's moratorium on new oil and gas drilling on public lands, exploring in ANWR and off our coasts, and finishing the Keystone XL pipeline.
Recognizing the Cave Spring Cheerleading Team
Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the student athletes on the Cave Spring High School cheerleading team in Roanoke, Virginia, for winning its division's State championship toward the end of last year. The Knights cheerleading squad is often referred to as a dynasty, and this victory marks the team's fourth State title in 9 years--and in those other 5 years they placed second each time.
The team had to overcome several obstacles this season, but through it all they persevered. Cave Spring senior cheerleader, Abby Holbrook, said it best when she said: ``We work so hard during the season, and it feels like all the hard work is paying off.''
Yes, Abby's hard work certainly did pay off. With the graduating class of 2022 having won the title their freshman and senior years, they are proud of the legacy they leave behind, and rightly so.
Congratulations to Cave Spring on this accomplishment, and I wish them the best of luck again next season.

Madam Speaker, I thank the gentlewoman for yielding to me and for hosting this Special Order. I would be here to speak in support of the men and women in law enforcement regardless.
Tonight, I come to the House floor to honor two local heroes: Officers John Painter and J.J. Jefferson, who were killed in the line of duty last week while responding to reports of a suspicious individual at nearby Bridgewater College. Their funerals this week will be overflowing with members of the community, the campus, law enforcement, and members of government and civil officials, all of whom loved these two heroes.
Officer John Painter dedicated his life to public service. Prior to becoming a campus police officer at Bridgewater, Painter served in the United States Air Force and the Army National Guard. He spent time as a deputy sheriff in King George County, and he was a member of the Grottoes Police Department for 18 years before retiring as chief in 2018.
Painter was known as a loving family man with a great loyalty to his friends and community. Those who knew him say that his devotion to others could not go unnoticed.
Like Officer Painter, Officer J.J. Jefferson committed his life to protecting and serving others before coming to Bridgewater College in 2018. Jefferson began his law enforcement career in 1997 as a patrol officer with the Fairfax County Sheriff's Office prior to spending 12 years as national reconnaissance officer in Chantilly, Virginia. Jefferson then served as a sergeant with the Shenandoah University Department of Public Safety during which time he was awarded the James B. Wilkins Award for his proactive security initiatives. A veteran of the United States Marine Corps, Jefferson is remembered for his boisterous laugh and endearing smile.
Known as the dynamic duo, the two officers were the closest of friends with Officer Painter even serving as the best man at Jefferson's wedding.
Students describe the officers as family and said the pair ``really cared about all of us--all of us.''
Painter and Jefferson made it a point to connect with those they were tasked with protecting, embedding themselves into the community by eating lunch with students, hanging out with them at campus gathering spots, and offering words of wisdom to those they interacted with.
Officers Jefferson and Painter gave their lives to protect students on campus, and our community is forever grateful for their sacrifice. Their efforts surely prevented even greater loss of life, and the dynamic duo's actions will never be forgotten.
The Bridgewater community mourns their tragic passing, and our prayers remain with their families in this difficult time.
Tonight, we remember the words in John 15:13: No one has greater love than this, to lay down one's life for one's friends.
Rest in peace, Officers Painter and Jefferson.
God bless.

Honoring The Legacy Of Master Sergeant Robert Mayne

Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the legacy of Master Sergeant Robert Mayne, who impacted lives of countless Lynchburg students throughout his nearly 40-year career at E.C. Glass High School.
Sarge, as he was known to those close to him, joined the military in 1941 and served as a tail gunner in the Martin B-26 bomber, where he flew 70 combat missions. After more than 27 of years of service, he retired from Active Duty in 1968.
That same year, Sarge joined E.C. Glass to teach and lead the school's newly formed Air Force Junior ROTC program. After spearheading the program for 20 years, he continued his work at the high school for another 19 as a special education teacher and as an assistant to school administrators. Even after retiring in 2007, Sarge continued to serve as a role model, sharing his experiences with students.
Master Sergeant Robert Mayne passed away last week at the age of 98, and our community mourns his loss and thanks him for his many years of service.
America Concedes Act
Mr. Speaker, I rise today in opposition to the America COMPETES Act, which would more appropriately be called the America concedes act. At 2,900 pages, and with a price tag of $325 billion, the Democrats' legislation does nothing to counter China's malign actions and, instead, lines the pockets of the country's Communist Party.
The bill appeases Chairman Xi, fails to hold China accountable for its role in the COVID-19 pandemic, and is even being used by the left to push their Green New Deal agenda.
There is $8 billion for the UN Green Climate Fund, $2 billion for a new Climate Leadership in International Mitigation, Adaptation, and Technology program, $2 million in foreign aid for other countries to address climate change, and the list goes on.
In fact, the bill mentions climate change 156 times, and it mentions coral reefs more times than it does China.
This bill is not only weak on China, but it is harmful to the United States, and I urge my colleagues to oppose it.

Mr. Speaker, I thank the gentleman from New Jersey for his leadership on this issue and for yielding me time.
Mr. Speaker, as we approach the 49th anniversary of the Supreme Court's decision in Roe v. Wade my colleagues and I come together to remember the more than 63 million children who have had their lives cut short in this country since 1973.
I stand here today for the sake of the women, for the sake of the children, and for the sake of the very future of our Nation.
Because of Roe v. Wade and the cases that followed its precedent, the right of the unborn to be born is denied throughout our Nation more than 2,000 times every single day, and in several States throughout all 9 months of pregnancy, which Roe permits.
This is a great stain on this great Nation.
We will not be silent here in Congress, nor will the hundreds of millions of pro-life Americans across this country.
My colleagues and I will continue to stand for life and fight to end the tragedy that is abortion.
We will remain steadfast supporters of life and serve as voices for the voiceless and defenders of the defenseless.

Madam Speaker, high school athletics play an important role in the lives of so many young people in the communities that they live in, which is why I have a policy of speaking from the floor to congratulate my district's State championship teams.
Today, I am here to honor the Riverheads High School football team, which won the VHSL Class 1 State title last month. Not only did the Gladiators best their opponent by an impressive 45-14 point margin, but this victory marked the team's sixth consecutive State championship, the only football program in VHSL history to accomplish such a feat.
And if that weren't monumental enough, the game was also the team's 50th straight win, which is the longest active winning streak in our Nation.
For the past 26 years, this team has been led by Coach Robert Casto, who has sadly announced that he will be retiring at the end of the school year. Coach Casto's remarkable coaching career comes to an end with an overall record of 59 losses and 261 wins, including nine State championships.
Madam Speaker, it is a pleasure to recognize this talented football team and their remarkable coach. Go Gladiators.

Madam Speaker, I thank my friend from Wisconsin for yielding on this very important subject. I was unfortunate to catch COVID a couple weeks ago, and I think that the Vitamin D supplements I was taking in addition to Vitamin C, in addition to zinc definitely helped to minimize the length and the severity of the illness.
Madam Speaker, today marks 1 year since Joe Biden was sworn in as President, meaning it has been a year since
Democrats took unified control of the Federal Government.
And at this point there is no denying that Americans are worse off today than they were 12 months ago.
Consumer prices have risen 7 percent since Democrats won congressional majorities and the White House, marking a 40-year high rate of inflation.
Gas prices reached $3.28 a gallon last month, a 49.6 percent increase from a year ago.
1.7 illegal immigrants were encountered unlawfully crossing the border in FY21, the highest number ever recorded.
Sixteen major U.S. cities set new homicide records this past year.
And just last week, COVID hospitalizations hit a record high.
Thirteen American servicemembers tragically lost their lives, and the Taliban captured Afghanistan as a result of this administration's disastrous withdrawal plan.
Madam Speaker, Democrats are certainly setting records, just not the records that they want to be breaking. Their party has utterly failed the American people.
