Most of you know this, but the federal government is only funded through September 30th. Prior to that date, Congress is supposed to pass legislation that funds the various federal agencies beyond September 30th. That process is shaping up to be a complete disaster, which is not surprising. We have too many entrenched Members of Congress who don’t care about our outrageous spending.

I was speaking with a reporter yesterday about additional funding President Biden now wants for Ukraine, disaster relief, and some other things. She started off one of her questions in an interesting way...
She said, paraphrasing, that disaster relief had historically been a bipartisan effort in Congress. In other words, it wasn’t something Congress questioned the need for or… Read more »
Each year, Congress has a responsibility to craft 12 separate appropriations bills – each one covering a different function of the federal government. These bills appropriate (i.e. provide) money for the federal government to operate.
Passage of these bills can seem like a dysfunctional process. For starters, Congress frequently runs right up to the deadline, and often relies on… Read more »
In a long overdue statement, the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) finally announced it would review the evidence used to craft its guidelines for handling CHILDREN who think their gender is something other than what they were born with.
They call it “gender-affirming medical care.” How quaint. It seems like a roundabout way of saying, “Whatever the child thinks his/her gender happens… Read more »
The creditworthiness of the United States was downgraded by Fitch Ratings earlier this week. Everyone from the White House and Janet Yellen to financial analysts and journalists were losing their minds over this news.
But why on earth does this surprise anyone?!
Our nation is over $32 trillion in debt. Our deficit spending is out of control; we are spending trillions of dollars more… Read more »
Lots of fallout after the implosion yesterday of that terribly shady "deal" the Department of Justice made with Hunter Biden. Thankfully there was a competent judge on the bench, Judge Maryellen Noreika (pictured below), who wasn't willing to be a pawn in their game.
Many legal analysts seem to be forming similar opinions as to what actually happened behind the scenes. Below a copy &… Read more »
Just because the mainstream media is downplaying the latest Hunter Biden news doesn’t mean it’s not a huge story. It absolutely is. The ONLY reason you’re not seeing exhaustive, daily coverage of Hunter Biden news is because the liberal media ROUTINELY runs cover for elected Democrats. It’s what they do, and that’s especially true for the Biden family.
(Disagree with that last statement?… Read more »

Good news out of the House last week, as we finally passed a reasonable version of the National Defense Authorization Act. If you consume a lot of political news, you may have seen reports about conservative amendments to that legislation, and how I, along with others from the House Freedom Caucus, were fighting hard for those changes.
For a while there, I wasn’t sure if I’d be able to… Read more »
This week, the House is working through the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA). In overly simple terms, the NDAA is annual legislation that sets the operating budget of our Defense Department and (to an extent) prescribes how those funds are to be used.
It remains to be seen whether I’ll be able to vote in favor of the final version of this legislation. There are still a lot of… Read more »
