How long will inflation continue to rise? How long will labor shortages continue to be a problem? Is a recession on the horizon? How should companies and employees prepare for the next 12-18 months? To help answer these questions, I’ll be hosting and moderating a special forum in Sumter starting at 11:30 AM on Wednesday, May 4th.  Joining me to provide their insight will be three…

Convention of States

| Posted in Blog

Yesterday, South Carolina became the 19th state to formally call for a Convention of States to amend the U.S. Constitution. This is something I support, and I appreciate the efforts of those in the SC Statehouse and Governor McMaster on this front. Here’s the problem: our country is destined for ruin if we cannot get our fiscal house in order. We’re $30 trillion in debt, and the problem…

When I have to add eight (8) additional pages to the end of my letter to President Biden... just to accommodate the signatures of all the other Members of Congress who want to co-sign it, you know it's on point. On Monday, I led a letter that was co-signed by 125 other representatives, taking aim at multiple anti-life and anti-family provisions in Biden's latest budget proposal. But…

Inflation got even worse last month. Prices have now risen 8.5% over the last year, which is the highest rate of inflation in over four decades. This is according to government data released this morning.   This is really hurting lower income Americans, who may have fewer means by which to absorb these price increases. It’s a regressive tax, of sorts.   It…

Earlier this morning, I led a congressional letter to the CEO of Disney for his antagonistic comments against a Florida law designed to protect children. That state bill would prohibit kindergartners and 1st - 3rd graders from being indoctrinated with woke theories on gender and sexual orientation. We’re talking about children here.  And we’re talking about the left’s weird,…

Early Migration Alert Program Act

| Posted in Blog

I've seen it happen personally on various airline flights over the last year - where illegal immigrants are being relocated across the United States. Officials are using planes, trains, busses, Ubers… any mode of transportation they can find to alleviate the massive overload of illegal immigrants at the border.   There's nowhere to put these individuals, and this…

This is more aggravating than a diagonal speed bump. Check this out: From multiple news outlets this morning, we’re learning that the Biden Administration is quietly trying to figure out how to increase oil imports from Canada. Friends, this is the President who ended development of the Keystone XL pipeline on DAY ONE of his administration.  In fact, he literally campaigned on…

A very special thanks to Congressman Jeff Duncan and Rep. William Timmons! The three of us hosted an incredible joint tele-town hall on April 5th, with tens of thousands of constituents joining us on the phone from back home in South Carolina. There were many great questions about inflation, illegal immigration, Ukraine, and other issues facing our country. You can catch a full replay…

$5,200 this year, or $433 per month. That’s how much MORE the average family will spend just to maintain the same standard of living as last year, according to new research from Bloomberg Economics. If your paycheck hasn’t kept pace with this inflation – and chances are it hasn’t – then guess what? You’re either saving less, dealing with a lower standard of living, and/or going into…
