Several incidents have occurred (click here) in the past few months with Glocks being left out in the open by absent-minded security. In January, a Glock and its magazine were found jammed in a toilet seat cover holder at the Capitol Visitor Center. In March, a young boy found one in John Boehner’s Capitol suite bathroom. Most recently on April 15, a third Glock was found by a custodian at the Capitol Police HQ. This time, the gun wasn’t found in a restroom stall but left out in the open and was easily spotted. Glocks were designed without the traditional external safety locks and can instantly fire if the trigger is pulled.


According to Roll Call, the officer from the January 29 incident was recommended to receive a six-day unpaid suspension while the other two remain under investigation. House Rules Chairman Pete Sessions said he wanted Capitol Police to “retrain everyone that carries a gun.” The new training system should include a little jingle the security officers can learn to sing to themselves before leaving the bathroom. Something like, “Keys, Wallet, Phone, Glock.” Maybe that will help them to stop losing their guns.

He is the author of "Fast Track." Yes sirree bob, Representative Sessions certainly has his finger on the pulse of America.

As a strong believer in American exceptionalism, (click here) I know that when America competes across the globe, America wins. That is why I was proud to work closely with U.S. Rep. Paul Ryan, R-Wis., to introduce the Bipartisan Congressional Trade Priorities and Accountability Act of 2015, more commonly known as trade promotion authority (TPA).

TPA is a vital part of House Republicans’ free-trade agenda because it is the key legislative component to securing trade agreements that grow the economy, create good-paying jobs and lower prices for American consumers. It is based on simple constitutional principles: that Congress and the White House must work together on trade policy and that trade agreements cannot change U.S. law without an up-or-down vote by Congress....

I knew hate speech about President Obama would come in here somewhere.

WASHINGTON -- Rep. Pete Sessions (R-Texas) (click here) accused President Barack Obama and Democrats Thursday evening of continually releasing undocumented immigrants who are murdering Americans.
"Every day, all along border states, maybe other places, there are murders by people who have been arrested coming into this country, who have been released by the Obama administration, I believe in violation of the law, who are murdering Americans all over our cities," the Rules Committee chairman said at a meeting while discussing Obama's deportation relief policies. "We hold the Democrat Party and the president personally accountable for this action."
The comment came during a discussion of a funding bill for the Department of Homeland Security, which many Republicans believe needs to include measures to block Obama's executive actions on immigration. Congress must pass funding for DHS by the end of Friday to avoid a shutdown, and House Republicans are planning to vote on a three-week bill.... 

Rep. Sessions is his own journalist because the people of his district don't appreciate "The Lame Stream Media."

...Micropac Industries (click here)
On Wednesday I was in Garland and visited the Micropac Industries headquarters. Micropac Industries has been providing innovative and integrated electronic product solutions for “Mission Critical” applications to the Military, space, medical and industrial markets from their headquarters in Garland for more than 50 years. From the gyro sensor used in Hellfire missile guidance systems to radiation-shielded satellite power distribution systems, and everything in between, Micropac Industries delivers the cutting edge technology that keeps our country moving forward. I was delighted to tour the facility, learn more about their operations, and see their products up close....


Mission Critical. Damn. That sounds important. Did "Mission Critical" receive 10 percent cut during "The Sequester."

Congresman Pete Sessions 'sets the ground rules' for his classroom visit. He states the young people in the classroom have "...great teachers...."
