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 »

We all know news of this possible indictment of President Trump is purely political. I want you to remember a few things about this outrageous abuse of power by the district attorney in Manhattan, Alvin Bragg. I was sounding the alarm on Alvin Bragg over a year ago.

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.… Read more »

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: 🔴 Rolling back Biden’s terrible $80 billion IRS expansion. 🔴 Ending Biden’s unlawful $400 billion student loan bailout; 🔴 Clawing back ALL unobligated funds that were allocated for Covid but never… Read more »

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."

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.
