18-year-old Greta Thunberg has certainly made headlines as a climate activist. She’s from Sweden, so it was intriguing to me that Democrats invited her to testify as an “expert witness” on United States energy policies. This was at my Environment Subcommittee hearing earlier this morning.   I want you to pay attention to her answers to three very simple questions. It's now… Read more »

"Democrats in Congress accuse Republicans of not caring enough about the environment, while Republicans call out the plan for what it is: an overreaching boondoggle that would kill millions of American jobs and surrender our energy independence." My op-ed on the Green New Deal in in the Washington Times Read more »

Yesterday, the “Green New Deal” was re-introduced in Congress. Remember this is the radical climate change bill that would decimate our economy, destroy millions of jobs, and make your cost of living jump through the roof.   Apparently, none of that matters to those who worship at the altar of climate change.   As a co-founder of the House Solar Caucus and a strong… Read more »

I think our justice system had its say today, with the conviction of Derek Chauvin for the murder and manslaughter of George Floyd. So what’s the right way to process this tragic chapter in our nation’s history?   I think it’s okay to sickened by the way Mr. Floyd was killed under the knee of Derek Chauvin.

Ralph Norman (R-SC) introduced the "AFTER Appropriations Act," which would require Congress to vote on Presidential rescission requests within an expedited time frame.   The legislation was introduced to restore fiscal sanity in response to Democratic leadership bringing back wasteful earmark spending and the historically high spending… Read more »

On Wednesday, Rep. Ralph Norman (SC-5) led the Republican South Carolina delegation to the U.S. House of Representatives in a letter to South Carolina Attorney General Alan Wilson.

Stay alert, friends – you really need to pay attention to what's going on here.   Over 150 years ago, Congress set the number of Supreme Court justices to nine (9). Today, Democrats are upset that a majority of those justices are not liberals. So while they have control of Congress &… Read more »

For generations, Major League Baseball has enjoyed an antitrust exemption, which essentially has allowed it to have a monopoly on professional baseball.   They've ridden that gravy train for all its worth. But since corporate “wokeness” and virtue signaling now appear to be more important to MLB than election integrity, it’s time to end that exemption.   Their… Read more »

In fact, it’s incomprehensible.   We met with border patrol agents who are now overworked, overwhelmed, and stretched dangerously thin.
