I am so pleased to announce the 2022… Read more »

As loudly as I can say this: THANK GOD for our law enforcement officers. It’s National Police Week. I don’t mean to sound like a broken record when it comes to supporting law enforcement, but I think we’re living in odd times right now: Across the nation, too many categories of violent crime are on the rise. Too many parents are not raising their children correctly. Too many… Read more »

We’re supposed to vote shortly on $40 billion in financial assistance for Ukraine. $40 billion! This is a STAGGERING amount of money, even for our federal government. It’s more than the ~combined~ budgets of the Labor Department, EPA, and Commerce Department. In fact, $40 billion is more than what we appropriate to the Justice Department each year. So obviously I did a double-take with… Read more »

We’re really seeing the Left’s unhinged vitriol on display over the Supreme Court and Roe v. Wade. They’re protesting in front of the homes of several Supreme Court justices. There was a Molotov cocktail thrown into the office of a pro-life organization. Some even held rallies on Mother’s Day, which is actually “on brand” for many of these groups. I wonder if these people actually… Read more »

How long will inflation continue to rise? How long will labor shortages continue to be a problem? Is a recession on the horizon? How should companies and employees prepare for the next 12-18 months? These were a few of the questions we covered at a recent forum I hosted on South Carolina’s economy and labor force. Joining me were three expert panelists: Dr. Joey VonNessen, a research… Read more »
