Did you know if someone does NOT speak English, that could actually be a qualifying factor for whether they’re entitled to receive Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) payments?
Let’s take two separate people. Both of them 45 years old with unskilled work experience. In fact, both of them are exactly the same in every respect **except** one of them speaks English while the other… Read more »
Here’s a backwards piece of legislation that I’m voting NO on today. It’s called the “PRO Act” and is a giveaway to labor unions. There are multiple problems with this bill, but let me focus on three of the worst:
FIRST – South Carolina is what’s known as a “right to work” state. This means you are entitled to work in a unionized business without being required to belong to that labor… Read more »
Just moments ago, President Trump was acquitted and vindicated in the Senate. The partisan impeachment charade is over (for now at least). Unfortunately, it cannot be forgotten.
As we turn the page on what’s been a very dark & unnecessary chapter in American politics, it’s time to double-down on the policies and priorities that have brought this nation its countless blessings in… Read more »
Two totally different worlds – two completely different mindsets – were on full display last night. It was unlike any other State of the Union address I’ve seen, either in person or on TV.
There were a couple of themes to the President’s address. First, he took a well-deserved victory lap on numerous fronts: from the economy & trade to our military & war on terror. We must always… Read more »
This is not something I’ve spoken about in public until recently. It’s deeply personal, and (for what felt like an eternity) we just had no idea how things would turn out.
I’m talking about my youngest grandchild, Warren, who weighed only 1 lb. 15 oz. when he was born back in September. He was three months premature.
Much of September 25th is now a blur, but I remember receiving a… Read more »
Lost in much of the news coverage last week was that the U.S. signed Phase One of a new trade deal with China. More on that in a moment.
First let’s remember we've had major problems with that country, ranging from unfair trade practices to rampant intellectual property theft. It’s critical we recognize that China would have been nowhere near the negotiating table were it not for… Read more »
This (Sunday) morning seemed like a good time for this particular update. I have some excellent news about efforts to protect religious liberties in our nation’s schools.
Last week, President Trump issued an executive order that provides public schools with guidance on prayer and other forms of religious expression. Among other things, this order explicitly states that students may pray… Read more »
Gold pens brought in on silver platters. You can't make this stuff up.
These were the ceremonial pens that Nancy Pelosi used yesterday to sign the House's resolution transmitting articles of impeachment over to the Senate. In a perverse form of celebration, these pens were later handed out as souvenirs to those who have been working tirelessly for impeachment since the moment President… Read more »
The left’s contradictions on impeachment would be humorous if they weren’t so cynical.
Remember their rush in the House of Representatives to impeach President Trump? We were all told that this hearsay and speculation was an “urgent concern” and that there was “no time to waste.” So what happened after the fastest impeachment inquiry in U.S. history and a vote entirely along party… Read more »
As soon as I get back to Washington this afternoon, I’ll be filing a new bill called the Property Rights Protection Act of 2019. It’s not complicated, but let’s get a few definitions out of the way first…
An “endangered species” is one that faces extinction unless action is taken to save it. Meanwhile, a “threatened species” is not endangered, but has seen some decline in recent decades… Read more »
