If you like peeking behind the curtain and knowing how the sausage is made in Washington, this post is for you. As it stands right now, the federal government is only authorized to spend money through September 30th, which is the end of its fiscal year. Without legislation passed by Congress and signed by the President, a government “shut-down” of non-essential services could happen… Read more »

Inflation data released this morning shows prices are still rising FOUR TIMES FASTER than normal under this administration. In August, year-over-year inflation rose 8.3%. That means on average, the cost of the goods and services you purchased last month were up 8.3% from August a year ago. Pay close attention to how the liberal media reports this news. You’re likely to hear descriptions… Read more »

If you missed my live telephone town hall on Tuesday, September 6, 2022, you can catch a full replay of it here: Read more »

It was an honor to join the Chester and Fairfield County Farm Bureau Chapters for their 2022 Legislative Banquet on Tuesday, August 30, 2022. We had small and large group discussions, which provided a great opportunity to talk about the issues important to our farmers and those in the agriculture industry. I owe a huge thanks to Congressman Rick Crawford from Arkansas, retired… Read more »

This will be one of the largest telephone town halls I've ever done. Many tens of thousands of people will be on the line, and I hope you can join me as well. This live event will begin at 5:30 PM on Tuesday, September 6th. (That's the day after Labor Day.) I'm excited to try something a little different this time. I’ve heard from countless constituents about their concerns over… Read more »

With the stroke of a pen earlier this week, Biden saddled you and other taxpayers with more than $500 billion worth of other people's student loan debt. First of all, isn’t it funny how Democrats are trying to compare that to the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP)? For those of you who don’t remember, the PPP enabled people to remain employed when the pandemic literally shut down much of… Read more »

Friends, I’m as outraged as I can be over Biden making YOU responsible for other people’s student loan debts. Of all the things we’ve had to put up with under this administration – skyrocketing inflation, rising violent crime, record levels of illegal immigration, failed foreign policy, on and on – this is just par for the course. So many constituents have called and written into my… Read more »

I know I’ve covered this multiple times, but we need to cover it again. Today, President Biden is expected to announce a plan to “cancel” up to $10,000 in federal student debt for those earning under $125K. Friends, debt isn’t just "canceled." Whether it’s the federal government or a private lender, you don’t just erase loans off the books. What’s really happening here is the… Read more »

Yet again, Joe Biden is trying to saddle you with other people’s student debt. This latest effort, according to news reports, would “cancel” at least $10,000 in federal student debt for those earning under a certain amount. I put “cancel” in quotes because it’s not canceled at all. Whether it’s the federal government or a private lender, you don’t just erase loans off the books. That’s… Read more »

Last week, the CDC Director finally stated the obvious. During an interview, Rochelle Walensky said her agency mishandled significant parts of its responsibilities during Covid, and an overhaul of that agency is now needed. You think?! Where do we begin with this? We’re talking about an agency that recommended masks for TWO-YEAR-OLD children, despite studies indicating their… Read more »
