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.

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 »

HUGE win for religious liberty and free speech this Friday morning at the Supreme Court. The Court held that a Christian website designer in Colorado should NOT be forced to create a website for a same-sex couple if it violates the designer's religious beliefs. In a 6-3 decision, the Court ruled that Colorado's public accommodations law violated the designer's right to free… Read more »

Another huge blow to Biden from the Supreme Court this morning, who just struck down his unconstitutional effort to "cancel" student loans. It was a 6-3 ruling just moments ago.  If you recall, the President was trying to “cancel” up to $10,000 of debt for those who had federal student loans. Friends, debt isn’t just "canceled." Whether it’s the federal government or a private… Read more »

Good ruling from the Supreme Court this morning on affirmative action in the college admissions process.

That's reasonable.  What the Court is saying, however, is that race, by itself, cannot be the reason a college provides an advantage for admission for one… Read more »
