I've had a missile blow up next to my airplane, been shot at dozens of times by anti-aircraft fire, and launched into orbit — all for my country. I never thought I'd see a President call for my execution.

Let’s be clear: Housing discrimination will not make Ohio – or any other state – a safer place to live. All this legislation will do is punish ordinary people for the actions of foreign governments that they have zero control over.
