EARMARKS ARE EVIL. Here are some highlights of the worst-of-the-worst earmarks in Chuck Schumer’s +1,000 page spending rampage. And keep in mind, we will be borrowing the money to pay for these pet-projects… 1. $1.6 million for “artist living and working space” in New York. No offense to NY, but I think y'all have some more urgent matters to attend to. 2. $1 million to expand a LGBT… Read more »

Happy to be back in SC wrapping up another great week, this week in Union County! We have so many incredible manufacturers all over the district and I am always thrilled to visit and learn about the operations of different companies. I am so proud to represent a district heavily represented by the manufacturing industry. Read more »

Today on Term Limits day, I want to reiterate why my Constitutional amendment to implement term limits is more crucial than ever.  Service in DC ought to be for a season, not a career. I believe you ought to serve for a reasonable period of time and then go home & live under the laws you made. #TermLimitsDay Read more »

This year, the amount of money we’ll pay on INTEREST ALONE to service our national debt will exceed what we’re spending to fund the entire U.S. military. That’s according to the Congressional Budget Office (CBO). Let that sink in for a moment.  What we’ll spend this year to operate the U.S. Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, National Guard, Coast Guard, and Space Force… take all those… Read more »

It’s all a calculated game to Democrats. Leaks from the White House indicate Biden is now (finally) considering executive orders to help slow the massive number of illegal migrants flowing across our southern border. This, after lying for weeks claiming he needed additional legislation from Congress to secure the border. (I covered this in a previous post.) That man doesn’t need… Read more »

A handful of reporters have asked why I voted against the aid package for Israel last week. Obviously, I’m not opposed to the concept of assistance for Israel, but friends we’re $34 trillion dollars in the hole with deficits spiraling out of control. We can’t even pay our own bills without borrowing substantial amounts of money at inflated interest rates. There’s NO DISCUSSION about any… Read more »

Two items making the news this Monday morning from D.C. First is this meaningless “immigration deal” that a handful of Senators reached over the weekend. This nonsense is DEAD ON ARRIVAL over in the House. This is not a serious effort by the Senate, but instead is a messaging bill designed to allow liberals the ability to claim they tried to solve the border crisis. (A crisis their… Read more »

Every Congress, the National Taxpayers Union rates members of Congress on their votes that affect taxes, spending, & debt. They measure the strength of support for reducing wasteful government spending, opposing higher taxes, and often opposing burdensome regulations that can stifle U.S. economic growth.  In other words, a higher score means a member of Congress voted to spend… Read more »

Over the weekend, a drone attack from Iranian-backed militants killed three American troops and injured over 30 others. This attack was at a U.S. military outpost located in Jordan near the border of Syria. Most of you may not know this, but since early October, U.S. forces in Iraq, Syria, and Jordan have been attacked ~165 times. This attack, however, is the deadliest for U.S. forces… Read more »

I’m heading back to D.C. this morning. Two quick notes about the utter chaos along our southern border. First, you may have heard news about a so-called deal on immigration being ironed out in the Senate. According to CNN, “Under the proposed deal, the Department of Homeland Security would be granted new emergency authority to shut down the border if daily average migrants crossing… Read more »
