Another OUTSTANDING ruling earlier this morning by the Supreme Court. This one concerns election integrity laws in Arizona, a decision which will likely have nation-wide impact. Here’s the backstory. There’s a section in the Voting Rights Act of 1965 – it’s called “Section 2” – which outlaws discriminative voting practices. That’s an oversimplified explanation, but… Read more »

On Wednesday, Rep. Ralph Norman (SC-5) will vote against H. Res 503, titled "Establishing the Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the United States Capitol." He issued the following statement in advance of that vote: "Since 2016, the #1 objective of Nancy Pelosi and congressional Democrats has been the demonization of President Trump. This is nothing more than a… Read more »

At the airport now, heading to join President Trump at the southern border.    Within just six months of his successor taking office, apprehensions of illegal immigrants have now SOARED to 20-year highs. This will be my third trip to inspect conditions along the southern border and as I’ve said before, this is not gross incompetence on the part of President Biden.… Read more »

*** UPDATE JULY 15th *** My original post below has been updated/edited to reflect information that was released by the RHPD later in their investigation, following the department’s initial statements on June 24th.

THANKFULLY some good news to report this Tuesday evening. Liberals in the Senate have failed to advance the mistakenly-titled “For the People Act.” This effort is dead for now.

It was a unanimous 9-0 decision by the Supreme Court earlier today. And a huge win for religious liberties. Long story short: 1. Catholic Social Services (CSS) is one of numerous agencies that provides foster placement services in the Philadelphia area. 2. As a Catholic organization, CSS has faith-based objections to placing foster children with same-sex couples. 3. As a result, the… Read more »

Obviously Juneteenth is an incredibly significant commemoration for our country. Nobody disputes that, and nobody disputes the *overwhelming* importance of emancipation. I certainly understand that. But earlier this evening, the House held a vote to make Juneteenth yet ANOTHER national holiday called… get this… “Juneteenth Independence Day.” I have a few problems with this and voted… Read more »

If you’re scratching your head over this, join the crowd.

Whose side is he on?! Here’s the background… Read more »
