Definitely a mixed bag of news this morning. Inflation data has just been updated by the government. If you remember last month’s report, inflation between June 2021 – June 2022 was at 9.1%. In other words, the same goods & services you purchased in June 2022 cost you 9.1% more than they did a year earlier in June 2021. Many people have been struggling under the weight of these… Read more »

I’ll be flying back to Washington this week to vote against this so-called “Inflation Reduction Act.” *** We ought to be flying back TODAY for primetime congressional hearings with the FBI Director on his agency’s contemptible raid on President Trump’s home yesterday. Like I said in my post late last night, we have every reason to question the motives behind this raid, which has all the… Read more »

On Monday night, Rep. Ralph Norman (R-SC) issued the following statement concerning the FBI's raid of former President Trump's residence:   "President Trump left office 584 days ago. Yet we’re to believe it’s just business as usual for the FBI to raid his private residence in search of some documents… 584 days after he departed the White House? What… Read more »

I was touring the GSP airport this morning and simply could not pass up a photo op with this Boeing 747-400. This aircraft had just landed a couple hours earlier packed with cargo from Kirchberg, Germany. The Greenville-Spartanburg International Airport is often the most convenient airport for the western part of our congressional district. More than passenger flights to a variety of… Read more »

Fentanyl is now the #1 killer of Americans between the ages of 18-45, according to the CDC. Unbeknownst to most users, fentanyl is now being mixed into common recreational drugs in order to make them more potent and more additive. The results are catastrophic and deadly. Listen to this alarming interview I had with Special Agent Derek Maltz on this crisis, how it's affecting so many, and… Read more »

It’s all smoke & mirrors. We’re shown this massive piece of legislation with a great sounding title, and you’re told the bill does what the title says. Only it’s a COMPLETE LIE! We see this over and over again in Congress, and I’m tired of it! The Democrats’ “Inflation Reduction Act” is just the latest example – I covered this in a previous post a couple of days ago. This will… Read more »

On the foreign affairs front, I’m following two separate events today. In no particular order… First, over the weekend, the U.S. eliminated a prominent al Qaeda terrorist known as Ayman al-Zawahiri. Actually, “minced” is a more accurate verb here – just do a search for “Hellfire R9X Ninja Missile” if you’re intrigued by those kinds of details. It’s impossible not to be impressed by our… Read more »

Well, here we go again. Despite inflation at a 40-year high, Senate liberals are close to resurrecting a modified version of their “Build Back Better” plan. Build Back BROKE, as it’s more accurately known, was such a horrible idea that they’re rebranding it with another misleading title: the “Inflation Reduction Act.” Except, of course, there’s nothing in this bill that will actually… Read more »

📛 America has officially entered the Biden Recession. Not that there was any doubt, but this morning it was confirmed. Now we know why the White House has been in overdrive lately trying to redefine the common definition of the word recession. More on that in a second. But first, according to data released this morning, our economy shrank during the quarter from April through June.… Read more »

Ralph Norman (R-SC) led 11 Members of the House of Representatives in a letter formally calling on President Biden to address allegations concerning potential unlawful activity in the sale of crude oil from the US Strategic Petroleum Reserve to a Chinese company with financial ties to the President’s son, Hunter Biden.   “It has come to our… Read more »
