Last week’s vote to authorize $40 billion in aid for Ukraine by Congress was difficult for many Republican lawmakers. The measure sailed through the House and passed in the Senate later in the week. Among those voting for passage was Rep. Gary Palmer (R-AL), the chairman of the House Republican Policy Committee.
During an interview with Mobile, AL radio FM Talk 106.5, Palmer said there was a “bigger picture” justification for his “yes” vote on the $40 billion.
Washington, DC (May 20, 2022) – On behalf of more than five million senior supporters of the 60 Plus Association, the American Association of Senior Citizens, we applaud Gary Palmer (R-AL-6) for introducing the Preventing Racism in Medicare Act (PRIMA), which would restrict HHS from implementing a policy that would force doctors to implement “anti-racism plans” in order to qualify for higher Medicare reimbursements.
Rep. Gary Palmer, R-Ala., proposed a bill Thursday that would prohibit health care providers from adopting racially discriminatory policies in their practices at the behest of the federal government.

Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra, testifying Wednesday before a House Energy and Commerce Committee panel, claimed his agency doesn’t have any policies explicitly “anti-racist” in nature, but the health policy group Do No Harm contends Becerra is either lying or uninformed.
Monday, U.S. Rep. Gary Palmer (R-Hoover) joined a group of House Republicans on a trip to the U.S.-Mexico border.
The visit, led by House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Cal.), was about highlighting the continuing crisis at the border and how rescinding Title 42 would exacerbate the problem.
During the press conference, Palmer talked about the human cost of open borders.
Representative Gary Palmer (R-AL), the chairman of the House Republican Policy Committee, said he believed China was rethinking its aggressive posture regarding Taiwan given the struggles Russia, under Russian President Vladimir Putin, has faced with the Ukraine invasion.
Palmer, who was a guest on Mobile, AL radio FM Talk 106.5, said Russia’s difficulties, combined with the threat of sanctions and the withdrawal of U.S. investment from China, could be what is deterring Chinese President Xi Jinping.
Recently, some lawmakers on Capitol Hill are saying the United States should consider putting U.S. military boots on the ground in Ukraine as Russia's invasion continues.
U.S. Sen. Chris Coons (D-Del.) was one of the latest to say it was an option that must be seriously considered by the Biden administration.
At the beginning of my first term in Congress I paid symbolic respect to a man I have known for over 22 years by voting for him as Speaker of the House. That man is Alabama Sen. Jeff Sessions.
Mr. Sessions is now President-elect Donald Trump's nominee for U.S. attorney general. Mr. Trump picked the right man, and the leftist media and deluded Democrats know it. That is why they have launched a disingenuous and dishonest smear campaign against this honorable man who has ably served his state and nation with great integrity.
The federal government’s most important responsibility is to protect this nation and its citizens. That includes protecting against cyberattacks.
Recall last summer’s Office of Personnel Management (OPM) hack, when, in one of the largest data breaches in U.S. history, the personally identifiable information of more than 21.5 million Americans was stolen, including fingerprint data of nearly 6 million federal employees.
On Wednesday, January 14 the U.S. House of Representatives this week passed a resolution to overturn the controversial Obama Administration redefinition of “Waters of the United States” in the Clean Water Act to include all manner of small areas where waters collects, such as ditches, puddles and ponds. Obama’s redefinition of the rule would give the federal government’s Environmental Protection Agency and Army Corps of Engineers jurisdiction of virtually all water in this country.
