Happy MLK Day

| Posted in Blog

Today, we honor Martin Luther King Jr., who dedicated his life to ending racial segregation through nonviolent means. He became the face of the Civil Rights movement and to this day, his work continues to inspire the nation. Because of his legacy, this day is recognized as one of two designated National Day of Service holidays during the year. In honor of Martin Luther King Jr, I…

Fun Facts Around the Capitol

| Posted in Blog

FUN FACTS around the Capitol: (1) You may notice quite a few miniature doors while walking through the Capitol. Rather than a Willy Wonka style secret entrance to a room of flavored wallpaper, behind the doors are just enough room for a faucet and a pail. Odd, right? Well, the Capitol suffered from three fires (1814, 1825, and 1851) and this was the most efficient way to prevent fires…

Two Important Pieces This Week

| Posted in Blog

Here’s a quick recap of two important pieces of news this week: FIRST, the Supreme Court slapped down Biden’s vaccine mandate yesterday. The President was trying to implement this through OSHA (the Occupational Safety & Health Administration), which would have affected more than 80 million American workers and placed massive compliance burdens on countless businesses. The Court was…

Supreme Court Rules Against OSHA

| Posted in Blog

Great news just minutes ago from the Supreme Court, which BLOCKED Biden’s unconstitutional vaccine mandate for large employers. This affects around 80 million Americans who work for larger companies. President Biden was trying to use OSHA (the Occupational Safety and Health Administration) to enact this mandate. Fortunately, the Supreme Court halted that misguided order just moments…

More on The "Domestic Terrorist Parents" Letter

| Posted in Blog

It's like the President's own administration said, "Biden's going to need political cover if he's going to order federal law enforcement to crack down on parents. So you guys should write a letter to the President, telling him that's what you need." Remember the outrageous letter that the National School Boards Association (NSBA) sent to President Biden recently? It was concerning…

The News is Not Good

| Posted in Blog

The news is not good. Just moments ago, inflation data was released for last month showing consumer prices having soared 7% in the last year. Every month in recent memory has brought more bad news on this front. This latest report represents the highest increase in the last 40 years. Lots of factors are in play here, not the least of which is the labor shortage, Covid, consumer demand,…

Platitudes but No Specifics

| Posted in Blog

Those who have been completely silent on New York allowing 800,000 illegal immigrants to vote in local elections have NO standing to call for so-called “voting rights” legislation in Congress. Democrats, I’m looking squarely at you. President Biden is in Georgia right now trying to drum up support for this effort. He, along with liberals in Congress, want to change the rules in the…

Proof of Vaccinations in D.C.

| Posted in Blog

Get ready to show your vaccine passport almost everywhere if you want to visit our nation’s capital.  The D.C. mayor has issued an edict requiring anyone 12 and older to show proof of vaccinations to enter public establishments.  It’s nuts. Think about the hundreds of thousands of school children visiting D.C. – how’s that going to work? And the burdens placed on businesses,…

Big Win in Court Yesterday

| Posted in Blog

BIG win in court yesterday concerning an issue I told you all about last month, and something I filed legislation to address. Remember how the Food & Drug Administration wanted 55 YEARS to slow-walk its release of documents concerning the Pfizer vaccine? A group of medical and public health professionals wants to examine that data, and literally had to sue the FDA for copies of…
