Last year I wrote about Ahmaud Arbery saying, “there are too many layers of outrage here to count.” That statement remains as true today as it was back then. At least now, however, the jury has finally spoken. In this case, they found all three of these individuals GUILTY of felony murder, and they're now facing mandatory life sentences. You'd be hard pressed to find… Read more »

He had just been released from prison before viciously killing five people in Waukesha, Wisconsin over the weekend, and injuring 48 others. By any reasonable measure, this guy is a CAREER CRIMINAL, having been arrested for things like sexual abuse, domestic abuse, battery, reckless endangerment, possession of a dangerous weapon, possession of drugs, resisting an officer, bail jumping,… Read more »

The jury has spoken! After sitting through the entire trial… After seeing all the evidence… After deliberating for several days… the jury UNANIMOUSLY found Kyle Rittenhouse NOT GUILTY on all five charges. It infuriates me to look back at how – long before that verdict was reached – the media (and many Democrats) laid waste to Kyle, his family, his presumption of innocence until proven… Read more »

I was a resounding NO vote just moments ago. In fact, every Republican voted NO. But Democrats in the House still managed to ram through their massive socialist spending spree. (What they laughably call the “Build Back Better” plan.) I will never understand the thinking of those who support this bill. It is the most irresponsible and liberal legislation we’ve seen in decades. Want… Read more »

I'm pleased that implementation of President Biden's unconstitutional employer vaccine mandate has been formally SUSPENDED by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA).   Remember earlier this month, the Fifth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals cited “grave statutory and constitutional issues” with Biden's actions when the Court issued its emergency stay on his… Read more »

It’s like spending $75 on a hamburger because you really like the restaurant’s pickles. You’d never do that, but for some reason, you’re supposed to applaud the government spending over a trillion dollars on a so-called “infrastructure” bill the week before last, which had only a pickel’s worth of spending on actual infrastructure.   Two simple questions ought to guide… Read more »

Last night, we received an alarming update on the projected costs of the Democrats’ “Build Back Better” plan. Remember this is the next round of massive, multi-trillion-dollar, socialist spending they’re trying to ram through Congress while they still can. As I covered in my post Sunday night, Democrats have intentionally manipulated this legislation by adding sham expiration dates to… Read more »

To date, I’m proud to have co-sponsored EVERY reasonable piece of legislation in the House of Representatives to limit or curb vaccine mandates. Last time I checked that number was over a dozen bills and counting. Obviously, I’m not opposed to Covid vaccines, as evident by the fact I’ve been vaccinated myself. But it’s a personal choice, and I am STAUNCHLY OPPOSED to the government… Read more »

It was only a week ago that Nancy Pelosi managed to twist enough arms to pass a massive $1.2 trillion spending bill. That legislation had a small amount of appropriate infrastructure spending, but a TON of unnecessary waste and government overreach. It should have never passed the House, but thirteen Republicans – approx. 6% of total Republicans in the House – helped Democrats push it… Read more »

The news is not good this Wednesday morning. Inflation has now surged to a 30 year high, according to data just released by the Labor Department. For the year ending on October 31st, wholesale prices are up 8.6%, while consumer prices are up 6.2%. (For simplicity, think of “consumer prices” as what you pay the store, and “wholesale prices” as what that store has paid the… Read more »
