Here’s an issue that many people might not be aware of, but it’s something I’ve been looking at closely in Congress. China owns and controls almost 192,000 acres of farmland right here in the United States. To be clear, it’s not a huge percentage of our total farm acreage by any stretch. According to the FDA, there are more than 35 million acres of farmland in the U.S. which are owned by… Read more »

Release the affidavits! I’m talking about the sworn testimony – from one or more people – that federal authorities used to convince a judge to issue warrants allowing them to raid President Trump’s home last week. Show us that testimony! If you’re going to raid the home of a former President – who also happens to be the possible future political opponent of the current administration –… Read more »

The IRS will be hiring an additional 87,000 agents if Democrats get their way on Friday. Liberals are trying to pass yet another massive spending package for climate change, and they want to pay for part of that by hiring 87,000 additional IRS agents to audit even more taxpayers, to see if there’s any additional money that can be wrung out from them. I want to talk to those people who… Read more »

Definitely a mixed bag of news this morning. Inflation data has just been updated by the government. If you remember last month’s report, inflation between June 2021 – June 2022 was at 9.1%. In other words, the same goods & services you purchased in June 2022 cost you 9.1% more than they did a year earlier in June 2021. Many people have been struggling under the weight of these… Read more »

I’ll be flying back to Washington this week to vote against this so-called “Inflation Reduction Act.” *** We ought to be flying back TODAY for primetime congressional hearings with the FBI Director on his agency’s contemptible raid on President Trump’s home yesterday. Like I said in my post late last night, we have every reason to question the motives behind this raid, which has all the… Read more »

I was touring the GSP airport this morning and simply could not pass up a photo op with this Boeing 747-400. This aircraft had just landed a couple hours earlier packed with cargo from Kirchberg, Germany. The Greenville-Spartanburg International Airport is often the most convenient airport for the western part of our congressional district. More than passenger flights to a variety of… Read more »

Fentanyl is now the #1 killer of Americans between the ages of 18-45, according to the CDC. Unbeknownst to most users, fentanyl is now being mixed into common recreational drugs in order to make them more potent and more additive. The results are catastrophic and deadly. Listen to this alarming interview I had with Special Agent Derek Maltz on this crisis, how it's affecting so many, and… Read more »

It’s all smoke & mirrors. We’re shown this massive piece of legislation with a great sounding title, and you’re told the bill does what the title says. Only it’s a COMPLETE LIE! We see this over and over again in Congress, and I’m tired of it! The Democrats’ “Inflation Reduction Act” is just the latest example – I covered this in a previous post a couple of days ago. This will… Read more »

On the foreign affairs front, I’m following two separate events today. In no particular order… First, over the weekend, the U.S. eliminated a prominent al Qaeda terrorist known as Ayman al-Zawahiri. Actually, “minced” is a more accurate verb here – just do a search for “Hellfire R9X Ninja Missile” if you’re intrigued by those kinds of details. It’s impossible not to be impressed by our… Read more »

Well, here we go again. Despite inflation at a 40-year high, Senate liberals are close to resurrecting a modified version of their “Build Back Better” plan. Build Back BROKE, as it’s more accurately known, was such a horrible idea that they’re rebranding it with another misleading title: the “Inflation Reduction Act.” Except, of course, there’s nothing in this bill that will actually… Read more »
