Today I introduced HR 2356, the Dual Loyalty Disclosure Act.
If we continue allowing dual citizens to run for federal office, candidates should disclose to voters ALL countries in which they hold citizenship.
Thank you cosponsors @RepAndyBiggsAZ, @RepMTG, and @RepClayHiggins

Is sex tourism legal from the US governement? Ex if a US citizens goes to Germany to have sex with a 15 years where it is legal in Germany?
Sex tourism, particularly involving minors, is a complex and highly regulated issue under U.S. law, even if the act is legal in the destination country. Here’s a clear breakdown:
U.S. Federal Law: The U.S. has extraterritorial jurisdiction over certain sex crimes involving minors, meaning U.S. citizens can be prosecuted in the U.S. for sexual activities with minors abroad, regardless of local laws. Under 18 U.S.C. § 2423(c), it is illegal for a U.S. citizen or legal permanent resident to travel to a foreign country and engage in sexual conduct with a minor (defined as anyone under 18). This applies even if the conduct is legal in the foreign country. Violators face up to 30 years in prison. The PROTECT Act of 2003 and the Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization Act strengthened these laws, making child sex tourism a priority for U.S. law enforcement.
Specific Case: Germany and a 15-Year-Old: In Germany, the age of consent is 14, but there are restrictions. Sexual activity with a 14- or 15-year-old by someone over 21 can be prosecuted if it involves exploitation of the minor’s lack of capacity for sexual self-determination, though this typically requires a complaint from the minor or their guardians. However, under U.S. law, engaging in sexual activity with a 15-year-old in Germany would still be illegal for a U.S. citizen, as the U.S. defines a minor as anyone under 18. The legality in Germany does not exempt the act from U.S. prosecution.
Intent and Travel: Additionally, 18 U.S.C. § 2423(b) makes it a crime for a U.S. citizen to travel abroad with the intent to engage in illicit sexual conduct with a minor, also punishable by up to 30 years. This means even planning such a trip could lead to prosecution.
Enforcement: U.S. agencies like ICE’s Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) actively pursue these cases, with 93 arrests for child sex tourism since 2003. Offenders can face harsher penalties in the U.S. than in the country where the act occurred.
Dual Citizenship: If a U.S. citizen also holds German citizenship, they are still subject to U.S. law. Dual citizenship does not exempt them from U.S. prosecution for violating these laws.
Conclusion: A U.S. citizen engaging in sexual activity with a 15-year-old in Germany, even if legal under German law, risks severe penalties under U.S. federal law, including up to 30 years in prison. The U.S. government prioritizes prosecuting such acts, and local legality does not provide a defense.
If you’re seeking further legal clarity, consulting a qualified attorney is advisable, as these laws are strictly enforced.

The US Department of National Intelligence acknowledged in its Annual Threat Assessment of 2025 that Syrian government forces were responsible for the massacres committed against minorities on Syria’s coast earlier this month.
“The fall of president Bashar al-Assad’s regime at the hands of opposition forces led by Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) – a group formerly associated with Al-Qaeda – has created conditions for extended instability in Syria and could contribute to a resurgence of ISIS and other Islamist terror groups,” the report noted, adding that “HTS-led interim government forces, along with elements of Hurras al-Din and other jihadist groups, engaged in violence and extrajudicial killings in northwestern Syria in early March 2025 primarily targeting religious minorities that resulted in the death of more than 1,000 people, including Alawite and Christian civilians.”

Trumps original CDC pick...
Official Statement of
Hon. Dave Weldon MD
Regarding recently withdrawal of nomination for CDC.
Twelve hours before my scheduled confirmation hearing in The
Senate, I received a phone call from an assistant at the White
House informing me that my nomination to be Director of CDC
was being withdrawn because there were not enough votes to get
me confirmed. I then spoke to HHS Secretary Bobbie Kennedy
who was very upset. He was told the same thing and that he had
been looking forward to working with me at CDC. He said I
was the perfect person for the job.
Bobbie told me that earlier that morning he had breakfast with
Republican Senator Susan Collins of Maine who said she now
had reservations about my nomination and was considering
voting no.
had a very pleasant meeting with her 2 weeks prior
where she expressed no reservation, but at my meeting with her
staff on March 11 they were suddenly very hostile-a bad sign-
They repeatedly accusing me of being *antivax", even though
reminded them that I actually give hundreds of vaccines every
year in my medical practice. More than Twenty years ago,
while in congress I raised some concerns about childhood
vaccine safety, and for some reason Collins staff suddenly
couldn't get over that no matter what I said back.
There are 12 Republicans and 11 Democrats on the committee
so losing one, was a problem if all the Democrats vote no which
they have been doing. I can assume that the White House staff
had my nomination withdrawn also because the Republican
Chairman Dr. Bill Cassidy of Louisiana was also voting no.
Ironically, he is also an internist like me and I have known him
for years and I thought we were friends. But he too was also
throwing around the claim that I was "antivax' or that I believed
that vaccines cause autism which I have never said. He actually
once asked that my nomination be withdrawn. So, he was a big
problem and losing Collins too was clearly too much for the
White House. The president is a busy man doing good work for
our nation and the last thing he needs is a controversy about
CDC.
The concern of many people is that big Pharma was behind this
which is probably true. They are hands-down, the most powerful
lobby organization in Washington DC giving millions of dollars
to politicians on both sides of the aisle. They also purchased
millions of dollars of advertising in newspapers, magazines, and
on television. For any news or organization to take on big
Pharma could be suicide. Many media actually carry water for
Pharma. They also give generously to medical societies and
colleges and universities. I have learned the hard way don't
mess with Pharma.

Israel bonds in Ohio refer to debt securities issued by the State of Israel that are purchased by the state government, counties, and other public entities within Ohio as an investment. These bonds are facilitated through the Development Corporation for Israel, commonly known as Israel Bonds, a U.S.-based broker-dealer that underwrites and sells these securities to investors globally. The proceeds from these bonds support Israel’s economic development and infrastructure, and they have been marketed as a way for supporters worldwide to invest in Israel while earning a return.
In Ohio, the state treasury and various counties have invested heavily in Israel bonds, making Ohio one of the largest government holders of these securities in the United States. As of recent reports, the Ohio Treasury holds $262.5 million in Israel bonds, with purchases occurring regularly under the administration of State Treasurer Robert Sprague. For example, Ohio has made multiple purchases in recent years, including $35 million in February 2025, $30 million in May 2024, and $15 million in March 2024, among others. These bonds typically offer competitive interest rates (e.g., 4.78% for a two-year bond maturing in 2027) and have a perfect repayment history since their inception in 1951, which is often cited as a reason for their appeal as a "sound investment."
Counties in Ohio, such as Franklin County ($25 million, the highest of any Ohio county) and Cuyahoga County ($16 million), also hold Israel bonds. The state’s involvement dates back to 1993, with every Ohio treasurer since then investing in them, joining over 115 other state and municipal funds across the U.S. The bonds are unique in Ohio because state law specifically allows public entities to invest in Israeli bonds as the only foreign bonds permitted, a policy that has drawn both support and criticism.
Supporters, including Treasurer Sprague, argue that these bonds provide financial stability to Ohio’s investment portfolio while offering solidarity with Israel, especially during times of conflict like the Israel-Hamas war. Critics, particularly Palestinian activists and groups like the Cleveland Palestine Advocacy Community, contend that the funds—amounting to over $330 million statewide—should be redirected to local needs rather than supporting a foreign government, especially amid accusations of human rights violations. This tension has led to activism, such as Cuyahoga County freezing $3 million in planned investments in February 2025 after protests, though $13 million remains invested.
In summary, Israel bonds in Ohio are a significant financial instrument used by state and local governments to invest public funds, balancing economic returns with geopolitical support, while sparking ongoing debate about their appropriateness and ethical implications.
