The President is signing a new Executive Order today on “environmental justice.” I want you to see two revealing quotes from the White House: (1) “Racism is a fundamental driver of environmental injustice,” and therefore, (2) “the pursuit of environmental justice is a duty of all executive branch agencies and should be incorporated into their missions.” I’m not making this up. These… Read more »

I just voted for the Protection of Women & Girls in Sports Act. It passed without so much as one Democrat vote. Biological women & girls deserve a level playing field, don’t they? How is it fair when biological women are forced to compete against biological men? For transgender women, hormone replacement simply CANNOT reverse many of the athletic characteristics of the… Read more »

I’ll say it: I’m fed up with transgender activism. It’s gone off the deep end. You want the truth? The truth is that only a TINY FRACTION of people in our society claim to be transgender. 0.6% to be precise, according to a Pew Research study last year. And if you want to include people who say they’re “genderqueer” or nonbinary, the total rises to just 1.6%. So we’re not talking about a… Read more »

Today is Tax Day, and I just introduced a new bill in the House to help people who are being punished on their taxes because of outdated capital loss rules. Think of a capital asset as things like certain real estate, stocks, or other property. A capital gain (or loss) occurs whenever you sell a capital asset for a price different than its purchase price. For example, let’s say 10… Read more »

I’ll be on a plane today heading back to D.C. for what’s sure to be an exhausting week in Congress. The debt ceiling is going to be one of the bigger issues front & center… Remember: for the longest time, your elected officials in Washington have spent more money than the government was able to take in. Republicans and Democrats alike have all had a detestable spending problem.… Read more »

For those who were unable to attend yesterday’s event - here is the full video with Major James Capers Jr. Read more »

This is political persecution. It’s harassment. It’s a national disgrace, and a total abuse of power by a Democrat prosecutor. This is a district attorney who literally campaigned on prosecuting Trump. He’s going back six years to claim felony charges of “falsifying business records.” Yet for that to be a felony, the law says it must have been done with the “intent to commit another… Read more »

If there's anywhere cellphones should not be allowed, it’s within the walls of prisons. Yesterday I co-sponsored a bill in the House called the Cellphone Jamming Reform Act. This is an issue SC Attorney General Alan Wilson has been concerned about lately. In South Carolina alone over the last few years, there have been several cases of major drug trafficking operations being run by… Read more »

Every time there’s a sick, evil tragedy like what happened yesterday in Nashville, many of us are inclined to pray. Doing so invites the usual scoffers who say things like, “your ‘thoughts and prayers’ are worthless,” while exploiting the devastation as an opportunity for new legislation. (You’re likely to find several of these folks in the comments below.) But they’re wrong. We may… Read more »

Please join me on Wednesday, April 12th as we meet and hear from Maj. James Capers, one of the most decorated Marines in Force Reconnaissance history!   I've filed a bill in the House, H.R. 587, to authorize the President to award the Medal of Honor to Maj. Capers for acts of valor during the Vietnam War. As the recipient of a Silver Star, two Bronze Stars with “V” for… Read more »
