There’s only one play in the “Cancel Culture” playbook. Here’s how it goes: Claim to be offended or outraged. Amplify your message on social media. Demand the offender be silenced, fired, and/or publicly shamed. Threaten boycotts or protests unless swift action is taken. Repeat Steps 1-4 until the offending voice has, in essence, been "canceled." This is how petulant “snowflakes” manipulate other... Read more »

True to form, Democrats have manufactured a crisis where none exists. They've willfully mis-characterized what's happening at the Postal Service. They've intentionally taken facts out of context. They rushed to pass a misguided bill in the House on Saturday before even allowing the Postmaster General to testify before the House Oversight Committee today. And if all that weren't bad enough...

I flew up to D.C. last night because Nancy Pelosi called the House back into session over a manufactured crisis. This is over the U.S. Postal Service. If you missed my post earlier this week, I tore apart the lies and misinformation out there regarding the USPS and its ability to handle election-related mail this year.

I don't know how anyone could comprehend what happened to 5-year old Cannon Hinnant and still manage to keep it together. I honestly don't. His murder was absolute, gut-wrenching evil. https://www.wral.com/father-of-slain-5-year-old-everybody-loved-cannon-he-lit-up-the-room/19233827/ Read more »

Earlier today, Fortune published an op-ed I wrote with Congressman Ted Budd on the Healthy Skies Act, our new bill in House of Representatives that would create an experimental trial program to take passenger temperatures at certain TSA checkpoints. We know a fever is one of the more common symptoms of COVID. Temperature screenings will not catch every infected passenger before boarding a plane, ... Read more »

Some good news this morning, as new unemployment claims beat expectations last week. If you don’t care for the details, at least do me a favor and skip down to read the last two paragraphs of this post. Here’s the latest… Jobless claims are reported weekly by the U.S. Department of Labor. We watch these reports closely because they often represent a near real-time indicator of our nation’s job ma...

Lots of competing ideas right now about unemployment benefits. I realize this is a lengthy post, but if you just want the high-level points, look for the blue diamonds 🔹 below. 🔹 One of the recent coronavirus bills passed by Congress, the CARES Act, provided an additional $600 per week in unemployment compensation.
