On Wednesday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “Hardball,” Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) stated that “several” Republican senators he has talked to have “profound misgivings” about making either former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani (R) or former UN Ambassador John Bolton Secretary

The Republican senator who oversees the U.S. foreign aid budget said Friday that Israel made a mistake by signing a new $38 billion security agreement with the Obama administration.

Sunday, on NBC’s “Meet the Press,” while commenting on the racial divide in America exasperated by the recent police shootings in Louisiana and Minnesota and a sniper targeting and killing five Dallas police officers, Sen. Bob Corker (R-TN) said “I

Wednesday on Fox News Channel’s “The Real Story,” presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump said his vice-presidential list includes 10 people with “very big names.” When asked about potential running mates Trump said, “I’m actually looking at ten people. Three

Thursday on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” Sen. Bob Corker (R-TN), chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, criticized U.S. foreign policy regarding Russia, led by Russian President Vladimir Putin. Corker argued Putin was doing what he was doing in Syria and the

LEBANON, Tennessee—In the aftermath of the barbaric murders of more than 120 unarmed innocent civilians in Paris, France by several well-armed Syrian Muslim terrorists on Friday, the 12.8 million gun owners in America with concealed carry permits now have a new civic responsibility, according to Nashville talk radio host Ralph Bristol.

Sen. Bob Corker’s claims that the 10,000 Syrian refugees the State Department plans to grant entry to the United States in Fiscal Year 2016 are being properly vetted is in direct conflict with FBI Director James Comey’s testimony before the House Homeland Security Committee last week.

A House vote to start a floor debate on the Iran nuclear deal was scheduled for Wednesday, reportedly because that many Republican members don’t want to hold the vote amid Tea Party protests and a closed-door “rebellion from rank-and-file conservatives.”

The Beltway press tried to make the passage of President Obama’s nuclear sellout to Iran look like a moment of high political drama, but you could tell their hearts weren’t really in it. Everyone knew this was a done deal from the very beginning, thanks to the efforts of the true “deciding vote,” Republican Senator Bob Corker of Tennessee.

The real blame rests not with Corker, but with Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY), who failed to defend the constitutional prerogatives of the Senate. He should have warned at the outset that if Obama failed to submit the Iran deal as a treaty as required, it would be dead–period.

Has there ever been a more spectacular performance of Republican “Failure Theater” than the Iran deal? Senator Bob Corker (R-TN), who long ago made it impossible for Congress to stop the deal, now comes forth to tell us Congress probably can’t stop the Iran deal, even as public opposition soars into solid majority territory, and more Democrats stage their own little Failure Theater sideshows of “conscience.”

A new report from the Associated Press alleges that the UN gave up inspection control of a suspicious military site in Iran, allowing Iran to inspect its own suspected nuclear site.

Thursday, Senate Foreign Relations Committee chairman Sen. Bob Corker (R-TN) slammed  President Barack Obama’s for saying  yesterday Iranian hardliners chanting “death to America” are “making common cause” with Republicans.” Corker said, “I just want to say how disappointed I was

Secretary of State John Kerry appeared before the Senate on Thursday to defend his administration’s nuclear deal with Iran. As expected, he took a great deal of heat from irate Republicans, plus a few skeptical Democrats, notably Sen. Bob Menendez of New Jersey. The headline-grabbing moment came when Sen. Bob Corker (R-TN) said John Kerry had been “fleeced” by the Iranians.

Senate Armed Services Committee Chairman John McCain (R-AZ) says he will make sure the four Marines and a Navy Petty Officer killed during the attack on a Navy training center in Chattanooga, Tennessee, receive Purple Hearts.

Chairman Bob Corker (R-TN) jabbed at the administration, adding that while Kerry has said Congress would have the ability to weigh in on the final deal, Congress now realizes it would be eight years from now – because that is the time specified in the agreement. “It was either this deal or war,” Corker mocked about not being able to question or oppose the deal.

“There is much talk of deadlines looming ominously, but Iran knows perfectly well that the deadline is its friend—and the West’s enemy,” Breitbart News wrote last week. It seems this credulous, juvenile administration finally figured that out, as the Wall Street Journal reports the U.S. is floating the idea of an “open-ended diplomatic process,” waving aside deadlines altogether.

The Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) decided Wednesday to increase compensation for CEOs at Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac – government sponsored enterprises (GSEs).

On a near unanimous vote, the Senate approved a bill Thursday to the require that Congress review any final nuclear deal with Iran.

Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman Bob Corker (R-TN) opened debate up to the full Senate Thursday on the Iran Nuclear Agreement Review Act of 2015 that passed the Senate Foreign Relations Committee unanimously.

Leading Senators say the Senate could move on a long-debated human trafficking bill and then take up Loretta Lynch’s nomination for Attorney General this week.

President Obama’s nominee for attorney general Loretta Lynch is likely to receive a vote in the coming days, Sen. Bob Corker (R-TN) predicts.

Tuesday on Fox News Channel’s “The O’Reilly Factor,” Sen. Bob Corker (R-TN) said Secretary of State John Kerry was on Capital Hill lobbying against Congress getting the final word on any nuclear program deal with Iran until mid afternoon when

Columnist George Will said the Senate Foreign Relations Committee’s passage of a bill requiring Congressional approval on an Iran deal is “an extension of the revival of Congress against presidential Caesarism” on Friday’s “Special Report” on the Fox News Channel.

The Senate Foreign Relations Committee voted unanimously Tuesday afternoon to pass Sen. Bob Corker’s (R-TN) bipartisan Iran Nuclear Agreement Review Act of 2015, sending the legislation to the full Senate for final approval. The bill gives Congress time to review

President Barack Obama’s White House is beginning to show signs it may fold under congressional pressure on the deal it struck with Iran over nuclear arms.

The opportunity for Congress to have a say in the Iran deal faces a big test Tuesday afternoon. The Senate Foreign Relations Committee will debate and vote on the bipartisan measure put forth by Sen. Bob Corker (R-TN).

Sen. John Barrasso plans to introduce amendments if necessary to strengthen the Iran sanctions measure the Senate Foreign Relations Committee will consider this week.

The Senate Foreign Relations Committee will consider Sen. Bob Corker’s measure to secure congressional approval on the Iran deal Tuesday afternoon.

The Iran Nuclear Agreement Review Act appears to be the most effective way for Congress to stop President Barack Obama from appeasing the Iranian regime with a bad nuclear deal. The “Corker-Mendez-Graham” bill, or the “Corker Bill,” would require President Obama to submit the final Iran deal to Congress. Yet the text of the bill now before Congress would actually make an Iran deal easier to approve–and would do so by gutting the Senate’s constitutional power over treaties.

Facing deep skepticism on multiple fronts, President Barack Obama ramped up lobbying Monday for a framework nuclear deal with Iran, one of the toughest sells of his presidency.
