Stop Messing With the Clocks

Daylight Saving Time

It’s that time of year again. Get ready for the annoyance of losing an hour of sleep when the clocks jump forward early Sunday morning. Who thinks we ought to stop messing with our clocks twice a year and instead just make daylight saving time permanent? Earlier today, I re-introduced a bill in the House that would allow states the option to observe daylight saving time year-round.…

Freedom Caucus Press Conference

Today, the Freedom Caucus held a press conference to outline the cuts we're seeking as part of the upcoming debt ceiling discussions. We're talking about easy, no-brainers like: đź”´ Rolling back Biden’s terrible $80 billion IRS expansion. đź”´ Ending Biden’s unlawful $400 billion student loan bailout; đź”´ Clawing back ALL unobligated funds that were allocated for Covid but never…

Victory for 2A and Privacy Rights

| Posted in Blog

Good news. Earlier today, Visa & MasterCard both announced a "pause" in their plans to track the sale of gun and ammunition purchases. This is a BIG WIN for our 2nd Amendment and privacy rights, but this fight is far from over.   Here's what's going on:   Many of the products or services you purchase have what's known as a "merchant category code." It's usually…

Pay Attention to His Language

| Posted in Blog

Pay close attention to President Biden’s language today. He’s going to claim his new budget proposal will reduce deficits by $3 trillion over the next 10 years, and the mainstream media will dutifully report that as a great thing. But you need to understand what’s going on here.   First of all, the President’s budget proposal is just that: a proposal. It’s dead on arrival in…

141 Pages to Define "Water"

| Posted in Blog

One of the most obnoxious abuses of government power has been against farmers and other landowners with respect to water on their property (e.g. ponds, streams, etc.). To illustrate how out of control the federal government has become, several agencies have crafted a 141-page document to revise the legal definition of "Waters of the United States." You see, if any body of water meets…

Remarks at CPAC

It was an honor be part of a special forum this morning at CPAC with Rep. Scott Perry, where we covered a wide variety of important issues facing Congress. The weaponization of government, border security, the Speaker's election, China, and more... nothing was off limits. Give a listen!

Weak on Crime Mayor Sent Packing

| Posted in Blog

Good news overnight for those who support law enforcement and care about safe communities. Lori Lightfoot, the embattled mayor of Chicago, was sent packing by voters in yesterday’s mayoral election. Crime in that city is no joke. With only two exceptions, EVERY category of crime had increased under Lori Lightfoot’s watch by significant margins. Overall, crime in Chicago was 20% higher…

Voting to Block Misguided ESG Ruling

| Posted in Blog

Your retirement money should NOT be used to help advance the left's climate and social agenda. Later today, I'll be voting to help prevent that from happening. Here’s what you need to know: There’s a liberal movement in investing and business known as “ESG.” That stands for Environmental, Social and Governance. It’s a form of virtue signaling where company leaders invest money and…

2.27 Winter Session

Over the next seven weeks, the House is scheduled to be in session a whopping… 14 days. Oh, not to mention we’re just now heading back to D.C. today after being home for the last two weeks. *** This further illustrates how utterly ridiculous it was for some Republicans to have been angry at me and 19 others for negotiating during the House Speaker’s vote back in January. They literally…
