Democrats are going to impeach your President today. It's disgraceful. They've been planning this since the moment he was elected, spending the last three years in a childish search for any excuse they think would justify impeachment. Yet all they managed to produce was a sham process based entirely on hearsay and speculation, where no fact witness was able to testify to any crime. Why… Read more »

With all the talk about this impeachment nonsense, you may not have heard that the House will be voting on two bills today (Tuesday) which would fund the federal government through the end of its fiscal year. Around 5:00 PM yesterday, these bills – totaling more than 2,300 pages – were posted for Members and staff to review. Apparently, we're supposed to read and make an informed… Read more »

Another major milestone reached! Let me first take you back to earlier this year… For our veterans, I re-introduced a bill in January that would use supercomputers and data scientists at the Dept. of Energy to analyze massive amounts of healthcare data from the Veterans Health Administration. We know there are trends and patterns in this data which “machine learning” can identify that… Read more »

It’s amnesty, pure and simple. I’m talking about the “Farm Workforce Modernization Act,” which I voted against yesterday. What a great title, right? This bill would grant something called “certified agriculture worker” status to illegal immigrants who have been working unlawfully in our agriculture industry. Anyone who has broken our immigration laws to work in the ag industry for at… Read more »

Back in July, I was quite upset over the House’s version of the 2020 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA). This legislation authorizes funding for the U.S. Department of Defense. While some parts of the NDAA were good, Democrats unfortunately baked several “poison pills” into the House’s version. For example, they sought to use the NDAA to remove our current prohibition on… Read more »

Imagine what it must be like to be a Democrat in Congress right now.   These are folks who have never been able to come to terms with the outcome of our 2016 Presidential election. They’ve no idea how to handle a Republican President who loves to punch back as hard as he gets punched. They’re frustrated to realize that it’s been his policies – not theirs – which have… Read more »

Two of the most maddening things for me to watch in Congress are: Bills with honorable-sounding titles that are actually bad legislation once you dig into the text, and Bills that are clearly an overreach of power by the federal government. H.R. 4 is both of these. It’s a Democrat bill titled the “Voting Rights Advancement Act of 2019” which seeks to alter a good piece of… Read more »

This goes without saying, but it’s both appropriate and moral for a nation with our means to provide a hunger safety net for its citizens. One of those safety nets is known as the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or “SNAP” for short. On Wednesday, a worthwhile change was implemented to this program to help move able-bodied SNAP recipients towards self-sufficiency and away from… Read more »

This week, the 3+ year effort by Democrats to remove President Trump from office shifted over to the House Judiciary Committee, where their impeachment sham will continue. Remember up until now, Adam Shiff (D-CA) and anti-Trump Democrats on the Intelligence Committee have been conducting their twisted version of an impeachment inquiry. On Monday, Schiff issued a report with their… Read more »

Earlier today, I introduced new legislation in the House called the "AFTER Appropriations Act." This is a powerful yet easy-to-understand bill that aims to help curb wasteful spending. Up in Washington, a request to eliminate spending on items that have previously been approved by Congress is known as a "rescission request." While Congress is the branch of government that authorizes… Read more »
