Another great victory for religious liberties! This concerns faith-based adoption agencies like Miracle Hill Ministries right here in South Carolina. It’s an issue I’ve written about several times over the years. To refresh your memory, Miracle Hill is a Christian ministry. They specialize in placing foster children with Christian parents, in a Christian environment. In remaining true to… Read more »

I have some disappointing news concerning term limits. As many of you know, I’ve been pushing for a constitutional amendment to implement term limits for U.S. Representatives and Senators. My current resolution (H.J. Res. 11) had over 100 co-sponsors. That’s because the majority of Americans support term limits for Congress. We can debate what those limits should be, but every one of us… Read more »

For the next Speaker of the House, we need someone who can unite our conference. Someone who is strong and principled. Someone who will prioritize eliminating reckless spending, and focus on border security.  I believe that my good friend Jim Jordan is that person. He is a solid conservative and talented leader who will unite the Republican party and put America first. Read more »

As many of you know, a vote was taken on Monday to oust Rep. Kevin McCarthy as the Speaker of the House of Representatives. This procedure is known as a "Motion to Vacate." If you've seen some of my recent interviews and social media posts, you know I’ve been PROFOUNDLY disappointed in several key elements of Mr. McCarthy’s performance as House Speaker. Despite that, I did not believe… Read more »

Imagine living in a city where carjackings are so rampant that your local police department needs to post a "Carjacking Dashboard" on their website. That's what's happening up here in D.C., a city where violent crime is up 39% year to date.  You may have seen news about a congressman from Texas who was carjacked in D.C. last night. Fortunately, he was uninjured. Unfortunately, the… Read more »

Concerning Speaker McCarthy and the Motion to Vacate in the House of Representatives today: I have been profoundly disappointed in several elements of Speaker McCarthy’s leadership, but now is not the time to pursue a Motion to Vacate.  Instead, Congress desperately needs to devote its full attention to passing these appropriations bills within the next 43 days. We need to turn our… Read more »

If you missed my tele-town hall this evening, please find a replay here. Thank you to everyone who participated in tonight’s call! Read more »

Do you see how NBC is covering this topic? It’s not just NBC; it’s every other left-leaning news outlet as well. Payments for federal student loans have been on hold for more than three years. Now that Covid is in the rear-view mirror, it’s obviously time for these payments to resume. Yet liberal journalists and Democrat politicians want you to believe that’s akin to "forcing" people… Read more »

You better believe I voted NO on that continuing resolution this Saturday afternoon in the House of Representatives.  Kevin McCarthy fought so hard to become Speaker back in January. He knows we’re spending ourselves into oblivion! He knew conservatives like me would use every ounce of leverage at our disposal to try to get spending under control. He’s known SINCE LAST YEAR that… Read more »

I'll be co-sponsoring a bill shortly that would ensure our troops continue to be paid should there be a temporary shutdown of non-essential services starting this weekend. As you know, politicians have driven our nation into a financial ditch, with our annual deficit rapidly approaching $2 trillion and a national debt in excess of $33 trillion.  I'm firmly holding the line when it… Read more »
