Honestly, I’m not listening to “outrage” from those upset about the ouster of Kevin McCarthy as House Speaker… particularly from a few of my colleagues here in D.C. who haven’t been equally as outraged about this nation’s state of affairs. Tell me: 📛 Where’s the outrage over our $33 trillion national debt? 📛 Where’s the outrage over our $2 trillion deficit this year alone? 📛… Read more »

Joe Biden’s silence is deafening. Hundreds murdered in Palestinian terror attacks. He isn’t scheduled to speak until 1pm tomorrow?? What a joke.  We need a president who will protect Americans and our closest allies at all costs. Read more »

Iran is said to have been actively involved in the planning and green lighting of the attack, according to senior members of Hamas, the terrorist organization responsible for the unprovoked attack on Israel.

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.

We can debate what those limits should be, but every one of us… Read more »

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 »
