  • Earmarks: A Monumentally Bad Idea

    Yet that is exactly the principle of congressional earmarks: choosing the same slice of pie you have just cut – or more precisely, spending the same money that you have just appropriated.

  • The Racist Left

    Racism is the practice of according rights and privileges to an individual not based on equality under the law, but rather according to what race that person was born. It is antithetical to every principle our country was founded upon...

  • The Inflation Tax

    When the Democrats passed President Joe Biden’s $1.9 trillion spending spree in March, a lot of people got a lot of free money. But the bill is already coming due for that free money, and it turns out that free money is expensive.

  • Our Borderless Country

    Last year, we achieved operational control of our southern border for the first time in generations. Would-be trespassers knew they would be turned back and so never started the perilous journey.

  • Southern Border Press Conference

    I must tell you in all of my years in the Congress this has been the most disturbing field tour that I’ve ever taken. 100 family units illegally crossed the border the week of the election. By the week of the inauguration, the number had increased to 1,100

Vote Note H. Res. 72 – How Do You Solve a Problem like Marjorie?: No.

Marjorie Taylor Greene is a freshman Congresswoman with an extensive history of Internet outbursts that range from bizarre to frightening.

Vote Note H.R. 335 – Allowing Recently Retired Officers to Serve as Secretary of Defense: NO

Federal law forbids recently retired officers from serving as Secretary of Defense for some very good reasons. Civilian control of the military is a bulwark of our freedom. I voted to suspend this law for James Mattis and it was a big mistake.
