Introducing the Property Rights Protection Act of 2019

| Posted in Blog

As soon as I get back to Washington this afternoon, I’ll be filing a new bill called the Property Rights Protection Act of 2019. It’s not complicated, but let’s get a few definitions out of the way first… An “endangered species” is one that faces extinction unless action is taken to save it. Meanwhile, a “threatened species” is not endangered, but has seen some decline in recent decades…

Good News on the Border Wall

| Posted in Blog

Earlier this week, a federal appeals court ruled that President Trump can proceed with plans to use military construction funds for the much-needed wall along our southern border. If we're being honest, properly funding a wall should have been more of a legislative priority when Republicans controlled both the House and Senate. With the ebb and flow of political priorities, however,…

But Nothing

| Posted in Blog

It is truly mind-blowing to listen to Democrats’ reaction to last week’s elimination of a murderous terrorist. Statements like: “Yes, Qassem Soleimani was a terrorist but…” ❌ …but it might cause Iran to retaliate ❌ …but we didn’t have a right to strike him on Iraqi soil. ❌ …but we don’t know how imminent the attacks on our troops would have been. ❌ …but President…

Confronting a Terrorist Regime Head-On

| Posted in Blog

With the elimination of Qassem Soleimani, President Trump took a much-needed step yesterday to ensure the safety of our troops, civilians, and allies in the Middle East. Under Obama, we saw that accommodating Iran with a horribly flawed nuclear deal and even billion-dollar ransom payouts failed to change their hostile behavior. In fact, the unwillingness to confront this terrorist…

House Passage of the USMCA

| Posted in Blog

Nancy Pelosi finally allowed the House to vote on the USMCA trade agreement today. The deal represents a major victory for President Trump, which is the primary reason this vote had been subject to months of unnecessary delays.   While there are numerous provisions within the USMCA, ultimately what it does is help level the playing field for trade between our three…

One of the Darkest Days in American Politics

| Posted in Blog

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…

Over 2,300 Pages. Less Than 24 Hours

| Posted in Blog

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…

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…
