It seems like almost everyone is afraid to talk about this for fear of being suspended by social media. Or fear of being called transphobic. Or fear of someone accusing them of “mis-gendering” a transgender individual. But we need to be honest about what’s going on here… This is Lia Thomas, pictured left, who was born a biological male and raised as one. As a collegiate swimmer at the… Read more »

How many people were censored by social media platforms right before the 2020 election for posting about Hunter Biden’s laptop?  How many major news outlets refused to cover this major story? Seriously, how many?! Social media companies literally suspended accounts of outlets like the New York Post.  They de-platformed journalists. They kick off just about anyone trying to… Read more »

Terrible decisions are being made by the White House concerning Iran. I’m so tired of this ineptness. Everyone needs at least a 30,000’ view of what happening with Iran and how President Biden is handling this situation. Here’s what’s going on… (1) Iran desperately wants nuclear weapons. Despite what Iran’s sympathizers claim, nuclear weapons in the hands of the Iranian regime would… Read more »

If you’re wondering when the Biden Administration will back off mask mandates for air travel, the answer is sometime before the November election. I don’t mean to sound flippant about it, but that’s the answer. At some strategic, well-choreographed moment between now and November, unelected government bureaucrats at the CDC will unravel that agency’s mask guidelines for air travel. And… Read more »

In case you missed my post over the weekend, I’m sponsoring a bill in the House to allow states to opt out of daylight saving time. I was pleasantly surprised to see a similar bill over on the Senate pass earlier today by unanimous consent, essentially meaning it had no opposition. Hopefully leadership in the House will allow a vote on my bill, or at least similar legislation. We’re so… Read more »

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 »
