Down Along the Southern Border

Incomplete Border Wall

Today (Monday) I’m down along the southern border in Texas and New Mexico to meet with border officials and get a first-hand understanding of the crisis caused by President Biden’s immigration policies. I’ll post more information about this trip soon.   Remember: President Trump also faced a surge of illegal immigration back in 2019. Three of the major causes of that…

So Tired of “Woke” Companies

Major League Baseball

I’m so tired of “woke” companies. Major League Baseball (MLB) is the latest example. Reacting in cowardly fear to a little phony liberal outrage, MLB decided to move this year’s All-Star Game from Atlanta to Denver because of Georgia’s new election integrity law. This would have been a major event for Georgia, bringing tens of millions of dollars in economic activity to that state. Now,…

Government Has No Business Issuing Vaccine Passports

| Posted in Blog

Government has no business issuing vaccine passports. I’m not okay with a society where someone has to “show their papers” just to go about their everyday life. Earlier today, I joined other Republicans from the South Carolina delegation in the House of Representatives in a letter to SC Gov. Henry McMaster encouraging him to stay the course in opposing these vaccine passports. I'll…

A Cowardly, Ridiculous Decision by MLB

| Posted in Blog

What a cowardly, ridiculous decision by Major League Baseball to move the 2021 draft and All Star Game out of Atlanta. We’re now living in an era where liberal “wokeness” and virtue signaling are more important than truth and reality. Any honest assessment of the improvements Georgia is making to its voting laws debunks Every. Single. Lie. that Democrats are claiming. We’ll get…

A Trojan Horse

Trojan Horse

After weeks of speculation, the veil was finally lifted this morning on Biden’s next massive spending plan. Yes, this is different than the $1.9 trillion Democrats rammed through last month. It’s on top of the extra $6 trillion we spent last year alone. And yes, this will be in addition to what it normally costs to operate the federal government. This proposal is being pitched around…

For Those Who Think Corporations Should Pay More Taxes

| Posted in Blog

Reminder for those who think "corporations should pay more" taxes:   Corporations ultimately don't pay taxes. People do! What you're asking for will ALWAYS come from either:   Customers paying higher prices   Employees receiving lower wages   Investors earning less on their investment, which includes just about every American saving for…

Continue, Consolidate, or Abolish

Federal Agencies

Have you ever looked at a recurring charge on your credit card statement and thought, “I’m not using this anymore; it’s time to cancel.” Or have you ever received a renewal invoice in the mail for a service you no longer use? It usually ends up in the trash, right?   Most of us don’t continue to pay for things we no longer need. However, that mentality is nowhere to be found…

IRS Delays

| Posted in Blog

"When will I receive my stimulus payment?' "What about my tax refund?" My staff and I are receiving a lot of these questions lately, and there are no easy answers. The long & short of it is (A) we don’t have any information that isn’t already available to you individually, and (B) we cannot make the IRS to expedite either of these. The problem is that the IRS is seriously backlogged…
