I think our justice system had its say today, with the conviction of Derek Chauvin for the murder and manslaughter of George Floyd. So what’s the right way to process this tragic chapter in our nation’s history?   I think it’s okay to sickened by the way Mr. Floyd was killed under the knee of Derek Chauvin. That doesn’t mean we lose sight of the fact that the overwhelming… Read more »

What makes the recent “infrastructure” proposal from President Biden so frustrating is that his proposal has very little to do with actual infrastructure. We dug into a few examples in my post back on March 31st, but I want you to recognize what’s happening with the language being used. So we’re all on the same page, infrastructure refers to (A) physical objects that are (B) necessary… Read more »

As expected, Democrat’s effort to pack the Supreme Court are now officially underway. Stay alert, friends – you really need to pay attention to what's going on here.   Over 150 years ago, Congress set the number of Supreme Court justices to nine (9). Today, Democrats are upset that a majority of those justices are not liberals. So while they have control of Congress &… Read more »

For generations, Major League Baseball has enjoyed an antitrust exemption, which essentially has allowed it to have a monopoly on professional baseball.   They've ridden that gravy train for all its worth. But since corporate “wokeness” and virtue signaling now appear to be more important to MLB than election integrity, it’s time to end that exemption.   Their… Read more »

I flew back to D.C. yesterday after getting a firsthand look at the new crisis along our southern border. It’s bad. In fact, it’s incomprehensible.   We met with border patrol agents who are now overworked, overwhelmed, and stretched dangerously thin. On top of patrolling hundreds of miles of the border, they’re also doubling as daycare workers for record numbers of… Read more »

Today (Monday) I’m down along the southern border in Texas and New Mexico to meet with border officials and get a first-hand understanding of the crisis caused by President Biden’s immigration policies. I’ll post more information about this trip soon.   Remember: President Trump also faced a surge of illegal immigration back in 2019. Three of the major causes of that… Read more »

I’m so tired of “woke” companies. Major League Baseball (MLB) is the latest example. Reacting in cowardly fear to a little phony liberal outrage, MLB decided to move this year’s All-Star Game from Atlanta to Denver because of Georgia’s new election integrity law. This would have been a major event for Georgia, bringing tens of millions of dollars in economic activity to that state. Now,… Read more »

Government has no business issuing vaccine passports. I’m not okay with a society where someone has to “show their papers” just to go about their everyday life. Earlier today, I joined other Republicans from the South Carolina delegation in the House of Representatives in a letter to SC Gov. Henry McMaster encouraging him to stay the course in opposing these vaccine passports. I'll… Read more »

What a cowardly, ridiculous decision by Major League Baseball to move the 2021 draft and All Star Game out of Atlanta. We’re now living in an era where liberal “wokeness” and virtue signaling are more important than truth and reality. Any honest assessment of the improvements Georgia is making to its voting laws debunks Every. Single. Lie. that Democrats are claiming. We’ll get… Read more »

After weeks of speculation, the veil was finally lifted this morning on Biden’s next massive spending plan. Yes, this is different than the $1.9 trillion Democrats rammed through last month. It’s on top of the extra $6 trillion we spent last year alone. And yes, this will be in addition to what it normally costs to operate the federal government. This proposal is being pitched around… Read more »
