I think Democrats have all but conceded catastrophic losses in the 2022 midterm elections. That would certainly explain why they’re determined to remake as much of the country as they can, while they still have control of Congress and the White House. That brings us to two massive spending bills on the table this week: Bill #1 is a $1 trillion package that deals (to some extent) with… Read more »

TONIGHT at 6:00 PM, I’ll be hosting a live telephone town hall. Toll-free (888) 886-6603 is the phone number to call at 6 PM if you’d like to join and haven’t registered for us to dial out to you. If you missed one of my seven in-person town hall events a few weeks ago, this is another great opportunity to find out what’s happening in Congress. For those who have registered on my website… Read more »

It is HORRIBLE what President Biden has enabled to occur along our southern border. His policy decisions were deliberate and (I would argue) by design. He changed Trump's asylum policies, stopped new construction of the wall, and a host of other measures he deliberately took that encouraged, not discouraged, the near-record surge on our border. For without the surge... without the… Read more »

The House is (finally) back in session this week. Earlier this month, I said September was going to be a mess in Congress. And so it begins… For now at least, let’s ignore the overwhelming surge of illegal immigrants since Biden took office. Let’s ignore his numerous catastrophic failures in Afghanistan. Let’s ignore rising inflation, and a host of other problems. Just set all those… Read more »

MAJOR RULING just moments ago from the Senate Parliamentarian. The parliamentarian is the official advisor who interprets the Standing Rules of the Senate, and guides that body on the appropriate procedures for carrying out its work. (The House of Representatives also has a parliamentarian.) Just a little while ago, the Senate Parliamentarian ruled that Democrats could NOT include… Read more »

Here’s an interesting article about what various states have done this year on election reform. VOTER IDENTIFICATION – Voting is one of the most sacred things we do as Americans. Establishing one’s identity at a precinct is key to determining if that individual is eligible to vote. For those who claim requiring ID is somehow discriminatory, once again that’s “soft bigotry of low… Read more »

❌ A rushed, completely arbitrary date of withdrawal. ❌ A conscious choice to leave some Americans behind. ❌ No effective plan to handle our translators and other Afghans who helped our military. ❌ A deliberate decision to leave billions of dollars’ worth of U.S. military equipment in the hands of a terrorist regime. ❌ 13 U.S. military deaths in one day, following a year since any combat… Read more »

Every minute, of every hour, of every day last month, our Border Patrol encountered an average of 4.6 people along our southern border. 208,887 total encounters in August, according to data released just a couple hours ago. Massive numbers, once again. Think about that. It’s more than one encounter by our Border Patrol every 15 SECONDS. And it doesn’t even account for those who make it… Read more »

Here’s the perfect example of “soft bigotry of low expectations.” To graduate high school, do you think students should reach some reasonable standard of knowledge? If so (and hopefully so), how do you determine whether or not that knowledge has been attained? Standardized testing would be one viable option, right? That was the case in Oregon, which had the “Essential Skills”… Read more »

More on Biden’s misguided vaccine mandate last week. To recap, the President has directed the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) to write rules applying to EVERY company with more than 100 employees. These rules would require workers to either be vaccinated or submit to weekly Covid testing. And get this: failure to comply could result in fines up to $14,000 per… Read more »
