If Omicron turns out to be just a minor blip on the Covid radar — and fingers crossed, that could be the case — will our mainstream media cover that news with the same vigor and intensity as they displayed when first sounding the alarm bells over Omicron? After all, as recently as Monday, many mainstream outlets were warning us the sky was falling because of this variant, long before the data ind... Read more »

NEW: there was a big milestone today in the fight against Biden’s self-inflicted immigration crisis. Late this morning, his administration announced that an “agreement had been reached” with the Mexican government that would keep asylum seekers in that country until their cases for asylum could be heard in U.S. immigration court. Good. However, don’t think today’s announcement represents President... Read more »
I serve on the House Oversight Committee, and of all the things you’d think that committee should be looking into, skyrocketing energy prices should be right up there at the top of the list. But we’re not. You’re paying significantly more for gas at the pump. If you use propane or natural gas for heating, you’re in for a world of pain if we have a cold winter, as those costs are way up. You’re li... Read more »
I was a resounding NO vote just moments ago. In fact, every Republican voted NO. But Democrats in the House still managed to ram through their massive socialist spending spree. (What they laughably call the “Build Back Better” plan.) I will never understand the thinking of those who support this bill. It is the most irresponsible and liberal legislation we’ve seen in decades. Want some examples? ... Read more »
Exactly 80 years ago today, 353 Japanese aircraft attacked Pearl Harbor, propelling our nation fully into World War II. Today, we honor the 2,403 Americans who lost their lives on that fateful “date which will live in infamy." And we honor ALL who served during World War II, including more than 670,000 others who were wounded, and over 405,000 Americans would ultimately lay down their lives in def... Read more »
When you’re soft on crime, YOU GET MORE CRIME. And these days, nobody owns softness on crime quite like liberal Democrats. Just think about a handful of their endeavors in various places around the country: â›”ï¸ Efforts to “defund the police.” â›”ï¸ Prosecutors who will not charge criminals until they hit a rather high threshold of crime. â›”ï¸ Re-categorizations of some truly monstrous offenses from fel...

It's been an exhausting week, but well worth it. We just wrapped up a series of in-person town halls all over the district, and I want to thank the hundreds of people who showed up. It was great to see and hear from so many folks! Also a special thanks to Rep. William Timmons who joined me in Spartanburg, the dozens of law enforcement officers who kept us all safe, and all the venues that hosted ... Read more »
