We FINALLY have a President who has the leveraging power to work for peace. Earlier this week, I joined Good Morning BT with Bo Thompson & Beth Troutman to discuss the work done so far by the Trump administration. No more endless wars. We have enough to fix ourselves!! Read more »

Washington, D.C. – Last week, Rep. Ralph Norman (R-SC) and Senator Lindsey Graham sent a letter to President Donald Trump urging him to award Major James Capers, Jr. the Medal of Honor.  Major Capers was responsible for incredible acts of valor when his Marine Corps special operations team was ambushed during a mission in Phu Loc,… Read more »

However, that blessing is a target for evil, and we must never… Read more »

In overly simple terms, the NDAA is annual legislation that sets the operating budget of our Defense Department and (to an extent) prescribes how those funds are to be used. It remains to be seen whether I’ll be able to vote in favor of the final version of this legislation. There are still a lot of… Read more »
