Thank you Senator Lee for speaking up about the speakership. Along with you, we wish Rep. Jim Jordan success in the race for Speaker of the House.
In honor of Columbus Day we thought we would nickname the three waterfronts that Mike Lee is battling after Christopher Columbus’s three famous ships.
#1 The Nina – The Define the Mission Act
According to Senator Lee, the United States has already given $113 billion in support to Ukraine with $24 more billion requested. Senator Lee, along with others are asking the White House to give an accountability on the following before being granted more aid:
- A clear definition of the U.S. national interests at stake.
- An estimation of the resources required, including U.S. personnel, materials, and funding.
- A forecast of security assistance to be received from NATO allies within the upcoming year.
- A thorough assessment of the impact of Russia’s dominance in the European natural gas market on concluding the conflict in Ukraine.
- Furthermore, the proposed strategy cannot be contingent on the U.S. providing funds for Ukrainian reconstruction.

#2 The Pinta – Repeal the FACE Act
The FACE Act allows for government interference to peaceful protests outside abortion facilities. Senator Lee has correctly identified that this act is being abused and interfering with the freedom of speech rights granted by the Constitution. Of the bill, Senator Lee said, “Our Constitution reserved general police power to the states. Congress infringed on the states’ police power when they passed the FACE Act. The Biden DOJ has weaponized this constitutionally suspect law against pro-life sidewalk counselors while failing to protect pregnancy centers and churches from violent attacks. It’s time to repeal the FACE Act.”

#3 The Santa Maria – Protecting Our Kids from Harmful Research Act
On October 5th, Senator Mike Lee introduced the Protecting Our Kids from Harmful Research Act, a bill prohibiting federal funding of gender transition research on minors. Medical interventions to transition gender are experimental, irreversible, and often fail to produce the intended effects of improving patients’ mental health. This bill would prohibit federal funding from being used in research or publications that seek to establish or affirm gender identities that are incongruent with a minor’s biological sex.
Mike Lee should run for president. He’s right on the money.
Thank you for visiting! Please visit us again on Saturday, October 21 for our next update.
