Real quick - it's been a busy week but I just wanted to say what an HONOR it is to have been re-elected to serve another term as your congressman. Friends, we're battling skyrocketing inflation, record levels of illegal immigration, rising violent crime, military recruitment shortages, a fentanyl crisis, a disastrous foreign policy, a wide range of far-left legislation, unsustainable… Read more »

Concerning diesel fuel supplies, many people have reached out to my congressional office worried about this issue. This is another longer post with a lot of information, but here’s what you need to know: Right now, the U.S. has approximately 25 days’ worth of diesel reserves. Friends, that does NOT mean our nation will exhaust its diesel supply in 25 days. Please do not fall for those… Read more »

This post is about children, Covid vaccines, and what the CDC (Center for Disease Control) just did earlier this week. This is a longer post, I’m sorry, but I’m concerned about this issue and people need to know what’s going on here. 🔶 First, a little background information: Parents are almost certainly familiar with vaccine schedules for their children. A vaccine schedule is a… Read more »

Through executive order, President Biden has tasked federal agencies — led by his political appointees — with "promoting access to voting."   On what planet is that appropriate?!   There is no provision in the Constitution that permits the President to use federal agencies as voter registration organizations. Furthermore, federal employees carrying out his order… Read more »

That means on average, the same goods & services you purchased last month cost 8.2% more than they did in September of last year.  And don’t forget, Sept. 2021 was already 5.4% higher than Sept.… Read more »

Titled the "No Pay for Congressional Recklessness (CR) Act," this bill also reduces member pay in future congresses where a continuing resolution… Read more »

Just a quick update for those who haven’t been following Hurricane Ian. It is now a slow-moving, dangerous Category 4 hurricane, and is expected to make landfall along Florida’s Gulf Coast soon. First things first: if you have family or friends who live in the peninsula of Florida, please encourage them to follow the guidance of their local emergency officials. Unfortunately, this storm… Read more »

About 10 days ago, I wrote a post about how the federal government is only authorized to spend money through 11:59 PM this Thursday night. And I told you that without legislation passed by Congress and signed by the President, a government “shut-down” of non-essential services could happen starting early Friday morning. Well, not much has changed since I wrote that post on September… Read more »

I want to put this on everyone’s radar, just for awareness. By Wednesday, a slow-moving hurricane is expected to impact Florida. Depending on its ultimate path, we may experience some heavy weather up in our part of South Carolina.   As of this (Monday) morning, this storm is not a major cause for alarm for our part of South Carolina. Hopefully the impacts along the Gulf… Read more »

Joe Biden’s border policies are the primary reasons for the surge of illegal migrants along our southern border – there’s just no arguing otherwise. Before leaving Washington this week, I signed on as an original co-sponsor to Rep. Andy Biggs’ new bill to address two of those policies.
