Looking for some much-needed goodwill, the Biden Administration dumped half a million dollars last week into feasibility studies for high-speed rail between Atlanta and Charlotte. I may have an unpopular opinion here, but I’m not wrong…  Proponents of these high-speed rail projects tout the jobs to be created, as if it’s government’s role to confiscate money from you to create jobs… Read more »

The University of Pennsylvania’s President, Liz Magill (pictured left), did the right thing and resigned over the weekend following her abhorrent, insane remarks before a House of Representatives hearing last week. It’s just a drop in the bucket. Magill is one of countless people who need to be removed from leadership roles in academia. Harvard’s President, Claudine Gay (middle), is… Read more »

Millions of dollars paid to Hunter Biden from foreign companies in Russia, Kazakhstan, and Ukraine. Over 20 shell corporations. Explosive IRS whistleblower testimony. Countless suspicious activity reports from banks where the Biden family was conducting business. Numerous times where Hunter connected "clients" directly with his father. The list goes on and on. Of course there's more than… Read more »

Question for my Democrat friends: why is sending more money to Ukraine in our own national security interest, but securing our southern border isn’t? Republicans are asking that question, and forcing the issue right now up in Congress.

Today we remember one of the darkest days in our country’s history - the attack on Pearl Harbor. The fallout of the wreckage can still be seen in the harbor 82 years later. Our debt of gratitude to the 2,403 Americans who sacrificed their lives can never be repaid. It truly is, “A date which will live in infamy.” Read more »

There you have it, ladies. When female athletes lose to a biological male who identifies as a transgender woman, just think of it as an opportunity to "learn to lose gracefully." This silver lining courtesy of Fatima Goss Graves from the National Women's Law Center . Read more »

Moments ago in our Financial Services Committee hearing, I had a pleasant conversation with Diane Yentel, who works for the National Low Income Housing Coalition. We can both agree on the problem, but our solutions are worlds apart. If you want to make housing more affordable, the answer is not government subsidies! The answer is not the redistribution of wealth. The answer is not more… Read more »

The Environmental Protection Agency is bent on trying to implement rules that would pressure auto manufacturers to produce electric vehicles (EVs) at quantities the market cannot support. This is another rogue agency filled with bureaucrats who are not living in reality. For example, back in May, the EPA proposed a rule setting emissions standards for light-duty passenger… Read more »

Alarming news concerning our use of credit cards. This is from Goldman Sachs, which keeps a close eye on this type of data. Americans’ use of credit cards is up more than usual for this time of year. Credit card delinquency is also up – that’s the percentage of cardholders that are behind or delinquent on their payments. And perhaps most concerning is that gap between card balances and… Read more »
