Recent Spending "Agreement"

| Posted in Blog

If you heard the news this morning, you know a spending “agreement” was announced over the weekend in Congress. This deal was reached between new House Speaker, Mike Johnson, and the Democrat leader of the Senate, Chuck Schumer. The details we know so far are more than disappointing. They’re infuriating. *** If you read no further, just know I’ll be voting against this. It’s a near total…

An Update on Government Funding

| Posted in Blog

I hope all of you had a great Christmas, and Happy New Year. As we roll into January, one of the big stories to watch over the next few weeks will be government funding. There are two major deadlines on the immediate horizon, the first of which is just 17 days from now, on January 19th. That’s when funding for four major functions of the federal government is set to expire: Agriculture,…

Not a Moment Too Soon

She's gone, and not a moment too soon. Claudine Gay was a total disgrace to her profession. Her ouster should have happened weeks ago. But don't forget: Harvard's board defended her to the hilt, and share the blame for the irreparable damage done to that university. Countless lessons here for everyone in academic leadership.

$900 Billion in Government Waste

| Posted in Blog

Mind-blowing report from Sen. Ran Paul highlighting $900 billion in government waste. I'll link to his "2023 Festivus Report" below. It is DISGUSTING what this inept, bloated government spends your money on. Check out a few of these examples, quoted directly from this report: 📛 federal grant to study Russian cats walking on a treadmill; 📛 Barbies used as proof of ID for…

An Honest Ask About the Border

| Posted in Blog

For my liberal friends, help me out here. I have a simple, honest ask: In the comments, can you please explain to the rest of us why the situation along our southern border is acceptable to you? No need to get defensive. No need to deflect or gaslight. No need to blame the last guy who left office with a relatively stable border almost 3 years ago. And no need to argue about the facts…

House Passes NDAA Without FISA Reform

| Posted in Blog

Bad news this Thursday afternoon for those who care about our 4th Amendment rights, restricting unwarranted mass surveillance, and abusive overreach by federal authorities. There was NOT ONE reform to FISA Section 702, which was stuffed into critical National Defense Authorization Act legislation. I obviously voted against it, but this bill still passed the House earlier today with…

The Real Cost of Big-Government Liberalism

| Posted in Blog

When Biden took office, the average monthly payment for a new home was $1,787. Today, it’s $3,322.  That’s over $18,000 more per year to own a new home, according to the Wall Street Journal. I’m not saying Biden has some magic dial in the Oval Office that controls housing prices. But from his war on affordable energy, to his Administration’s quest for bigger government and more…

Why I Disagree with a Charlotte-to-Atlanta High Speed Rail

| Posted in Blog

Looking for some much-needed goodwill, the Biden Administration dumped half a million dollars last week into feasibility studies for high-speed rail between Atlanta and Charlotte. I may have an unpopular opinion here, but I’m not wrong…  Proponents of these high-speed rail projects tout the jobs to be created, as if it’s government’s role to confiscate money from you to create jobs…
