Transparency with Your Tax Dollars

| Posted in Blog

I just reintroduced a bill in the House to help shed some more light on where your tax dollars are spent. It’s called the COST Act, which stands for “Cost Openness and Spending Transparency.” This bill will force the public disclosure of how federal dollars are distributed. Here’s how it works:   As we all know, the federal government relies on hundreds of companies,…

New H2-A Rules

| Posted in Blog

Rule #1 with the federal government: If there’s any way to mess something up, there’s a government bureaucrat trying to make that happen. Sadly, our hard-working farmers are the most recent victims of these bureaucrats. Here’s what’s going on… In the agriculture industry, there’s a Department of Labor program known as H2-A. This program “allows agricultural employers who anticipate a…

Bad News for Home Buyers with Good Credit

| Posted in Blog

There’s such a huge price to pay for having woke liberals run our government. Here we go again, with another example of how bad their policies are for America. Have you heard what the Biden administration is doing to homebuyers with good credit? Those homebuyers will soon be forced to subsidize mortgages for other homebuyers who have lower credit scores. Starting next Monday, if you’re…

More Fallout from the Hunter Biden Bombshell

| Posted in Blog

We’re not rehashing the 2020 election, but the blast radius from this Hunter Biden bombshell just keeps getting larger. Do you remember how most mainstream news outlets absolutely REFUSED to cover that major story in the weeks leading up to the election? All while social media companies suppressed and suspended people for even posting about it, including outlets like the New York…

These…

Protection of Women & Girls in Sports Act

| Posted in Blog

I just voted for the Protection of Women & Girls in Sports Act. It passed without so much as one Democrat vote. Biological women & girls deserve a level playing field, don’t they? How is it fair when biological women are forced to compete against biological men? For transgender women, hormone replacement simply CANNOT reverse many of the athletic characteristics of the…

Fed Up with Transgender Activism

| Posted in Blog

I’ll say it: I’m fed up with transgender activism. It’s gone off the deep end. You want the truth? The truth is that only a TINY FRACTION of people in our society claim to be transgender. 0.6% to be precise, according to a Pew Research study last year. And if you want to include people who say they’re “genderqueer” or nonbinary, the total rises to just 1.6%. So we’re not talking about a…

Much needed update to capital loss limits

| Posted in Blog

Today is Tax Day, and I just introduced a new bill in the House to help people who are being punished on their taxes because of outdated capital loss rules. Think of a capital asset as things like certain real estate, stocks, or other property. A capital gain (or loss) occurs whenever you sell a capital asset for a price different than its purchase price. For example, let’s say 10…
