This amendment was adopted in the House on Tuesday, and would authorize the Department of Energy (“DOE”) to collaborate with the Department of Veterans Affairs (“VA”) on research to improve… Read more »
Three topics on my appearance this morning on Fox News:
First up – liberals introduced a bill in Congress to limit the President's ability to mobilize federal police forces in riot-ravaged cities. 🔷 My response: these are NOT peaceful protests, and the folks in Congress who don't think help is needed to restore law & order are completely tone deaf to what's happening.
Topic #2… Read more »
More good news... About two weeks ago, I shared the national jobs report for June. It was OUTSTANDING, with 4.8 million jobs being restored in June, according to the Labor Department.
That was nationally, which of course begs the question: How are we doing here in South Carolina? Well, we now have that data, and it too is very encouraging.
According to a report released yesterday from… Read more »
New Bill: The Healthy Skies Act
Earlier today, I sponsored a new bill in the House of Representatives. As we work to get our nation back on its feet, it’s clear we have to keep searching for ways to slow the spread of COVID-19. On that front, air travel is very important to our economy, but it obviously poses unique challenges because of the number of people packed into a confined… Read more »
You'd be hard pressed to find even one elected Democrat willing to stand up lately for our police. Or publicly oppose the recent violence around our nation. It's not convenient to their narrative right now. My message to them is simple:
Democrat leadership in the House and Senate receive a protective police detail. If those Democrats in leadership are unwilling to… Read more »
Last month, your federal government spent $864 Billion more than it took in, setting a monthly deficit record. (This is according to the Wall Street Journal and dozens of other publications.)
We are now over $26 TRILLION in debt.
Washington doesn't have a revenue problem; the Treasury takes more than enough of your hard-earned money. Instead, Washington has a spending… Read more »
To help promote safety and security, I’ve signed on as a co-sponsor to two excellent bills in the House.
The first piece of legislation will put a hold on federal funding to local governments that allow these so-called “autonomous zones” within their jurisdictions. (This is H.R. 7285.) Seattle is a prime example of this nonsense. There, a six-block radius was essentially confiscated by… Read more »
Another HUGE win for religious liberties from the Supreme Court was announced earlier this morning.
In a 7-2 decision, the Court upheld that employers who had religious or moral objections to the Obamacare birth control mandate were, in fact, entitled to exemption from that rule.
This was a case involving the Little Sisters of the Poor, which is a Catholic ministry that… Read more »
Is attending Church during a pandemic more dangerous than attending a protest?
Before places of worship throughout Washington, D.C. were even allowed to partially re-open, the mayor of that city was actively encouraging people to gather and demonstrate in large crowds for protests and demonstrations.
The "right of the people peaceably to assemble" is explicitly guaranteed… Read more »
There were so many people MURDERED in Chicago this past weekend that various news outlets can’t even agree on the correct number. If the Chicago Tribune is to be believed, it’s probably around 17 homicides – including two children – plus 63 others shot, with most occurring in areas widely known for gang violence.
In New York City, shootings are up 142% for the week ending July 5th versus… Read more »
