The Daily Caller—We’re now 44 days into President Donald Trump’s second term, and a renewed sense of optimism is sweeping across America, reminiscent of the enduring promise of the American Dream. Central to this resurgence is the administration’s policies aimed at reigniting prosperity for small businesses, particularly evident in South Carolina’s 5th Congressional District.

As President Trump’s policies continue to unfold, the resilience and adaptability of small businesses in South Carolina and across the nation remain a testament to the enduring spirit of American enterprise. It’s back better than ever. Read my new op-ed… Read more »

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.

But from his war on affordable energy, to his Administration’s quest for bigger government and more… Read more »

Very little attention is paid to those who are being punished – through NO FAULT OF THEIR OWN – by the fallout from out-of-control government spending.

The weaponization of government, border security, the Speaker's election, China, and more... nothing was off limits. Give a listen! Read more »

I’m not expecting much from the State of the Union address tonight. We’ll hear a lot of platitudes and cherry-picked statistics, but nothing meaningful in terms of policy or vision. If you’re inclined to tune in to President Biden’s remarks tonight, I’d invite you to keep these facts in the back of your mind: ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION: 4.5 million people have illegally crossed our southern… Read more »

We need to talk about how utterly foolish this President’s energy policies are. Here’s the headline from Sunday: “Biden gives Chevron permit to restart Venezuelan oil sales.” Let’s unpack this a little. Americans are paying 17.5% more for gasoline over the last year.
