On a scale of craziness from 1 to 10, the next few weeks in Congress should easily hit 15. (Maybe higher.) Here’s what’s coming down the pike:
First, the utter disaster in Afghanistan. President Biden’s botched withdrawal ignored countless critical details and numerous warning signs. Hands down, this is one of the WORST presidential failures of our lifetime. It won’t be long before much… Read more »
It's been an exhausting week, but well worth it. We just wrapped up a series of in-person town halls all over the district, and I want to thank the hundreds of people who showed up. It was great to see and hear from so many folks!
Also a special thanks to Rep. William Timmons who joined me in Spartanburg, the dozens of law enforcement officers who kept us all safe, and all the venues… Read more »

We have a wide range of starting times, between noon and 5:30 PM, and a wide variety of venues. If you can't make it to… Read more »
Another solid report this morning for South Carolina. The number of people employed in our state is now HIGHER than it was in February 2020, right before the pandemic hit. That’s huge. Additionally, our state’s unemployment rate dropped from 4.5% in June to 4.3% in July. (For reference, the national unemployment last month was 5.4%.)
Numerous factors played a role in this. One of which… Read more »

It’s impossible to not feel like your heart’s being ripped out by watching what’s happening in Afghanistan. The brutality. The Taliban’s takeover of an entire nation. The desperation of countless thousands who are trying to save themselves and their families. And the slaughters that are already underway by that terrorist regime.
Presidents Trump and Biden both wanted to see the U.S.… Read more »
With President Biden’s decision to retreat from Afghanistan, the Taliban regime has taken over that nation with breathtaking speed.
Some people believe it was time for the U.S. to leave Afghanistan. Others believe that having a U.S. military presence in that nation served as a stabilizing force for the region and helped prevent terrorism around the globe.
Regardless of which side you… Read more »
Most rental property owners aren’t large companies with millions in the bank. Instead, many are just everyday Americans who use their rental(s) to help make ends meet, provide for their families, or invest for retirement.
They've got insurance, upkeep, and in many cases a mortgage on their rental property. So how are they supposed to react when the government tells them they can't… Read more »

It is remarkable to see how quickly the Taliban has conquered major regions in that country. Afghanistan has 34 provinces, each with a capital city. Within just the last week alone, ten (10) of those provincial capitals have fallen into the hands of the Taliban.… Read more »
