Here’s a quick summary of the legislation I’m supporting in Congress concerning Russia. In no particular order: First, I'm co-sponsoring a bill that would formally suspend normal trade relations with Russia and Belarus, which is a puppet-state of Russia. This is a no-brainer. Russia should not be allowed to function economically as though they aren’t waging an unjust war. Second,… Read more »

How many of us are going to be irritable and tired tomorrow? Who thinks we ought to stop jacking with our clocks twice a year and instead just make daylight saving time permanent? When it was implemented, the rationale behind daylight saving time was to help the economy and help reduce energy consumption by “pushing sunlight forward into the evening.” (It was supposed to reduce the need… Read more »

Spartanburg County deserves this. Just a bunch of hard-working, down-to-earth, God-fearing Americans over there. Check this out…   There’s a company based out of Wisconsin called Oshkosh Defense. Early last year, Oshkosh was awarded a 10-year contract with the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) to build their next generation of mail delivery vehicles. A few months later, Oshkosh… Read more »

This is a mess. Numbers just released from February are showing 7.9% annual inflation. That’s up from 7.5% in January, 7% in December, 6.8% in November. The trends get worse every month! Wages are rising, yes, but not nearly as fast as inflation. And those who are most harmed by this inflation are those least likely to be able to absorb these price hikes!! Inflation is an awful,… Read more »

Anyone care to guess how I’ll be voting in a few minutes? The House is about to vote on an omnibus spending bill. In overly simple terms, “omnibus” is when they throw a wide variety of spending into a single piece of legislation. This particular bill will cost us $1.5 trillion. The legislation itself is 2,700 pages long. The text was released just before 2 AM this morning, and… Read more »

It took entirely too long, but the President FINALLY decided to sanction Russian oil earlier today. Unfortunately, he’s still dragging his feet on unleashing America’s own energy production capabilities. It’s just feckless leadership from top to bottom. Let’s talk about the oil sanctions first. Most Democrats and Republicans in Congress have been yelling at Biden to get in gear and ban… Read more »

You’d be hard pressed to find this level of bipartisanship on any other issue right now. The United States needs to sanction Russian oil. Almost everyone is united on this point. Heck, even Nancy Pelosi is on board now. But President Biden has staunchly resisted this step so far. (This may be changing. More on that below.) Here’s the issue: a sizeable portion of the Russian economy is… Read more »

This ought to be proof positive that Vladimir Putin has devolved into a sadistic, unhinged lunatic. Reports this hour indicate his Russian army is literally shelling the largest nuclear power plant in all of Europe, which is located in southeast Ukraine. As of 9 PM tonight, it’s unclear how dangerous this situation is. It is truly unconscionable that President Biden has not yet… Read more »

Did you all hear about development guidelines for our children being revised downward? Check this out… For the first time in 20 years, the Center for Disease Control (CDC) and the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) have revised developmental milestones for children. We know that children have difficultly communicating while masked, and difficultly learning from others who are masked.… Read more »

Did any of you watch the State of the Union earlier tonight? It was a spin job like no other. Not to beat a dead horse, but inflation is at a 40 year high under Biden's watch. His policies have enabled & encouraged more than 2 million people to illegally cross our border in the last year. Violent crime is rising. We're now $30 trillion in national debt, while he wants trillions more… Read more »
