Iran remains one of the most heavily sanctioned countries in the world. However, as recent as March 2024, the Biden Administration granted sanction waivers to Iran, potentially giving the regime access to billions of dollars. We… Read more »
April 15th is one of the most loathsome days for Americans: Tax Day. Last Congress, the Democrat Majority and President Biden increased funding for the IRS by roughly $72 billion. This included funding to hire over 87,000 IRS agents with a focus on so-called rich Americans. However, when you look past the window dressing, it’s clear the IRS is still targeting middle-class Americans at… Read more »
Last week, the Palisades Nuclear Power Plant in Covert received a $1.52 billion conditional loan commitment from the Department of Energy to restart operations in 2025. This is great news!

On March 20th, the Biden Administration’s Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) finalized a new rule imposing strict tailpipe emissions standards on the light-duty and medium-duty vehicle marketplace.

Last week, President Biden released his $7.3 trillion budget for Fiscal Year 2025. Once again, the President’s budget promotes overspending and an increase in taxes that will only enhance inflation and limit economic growth.
By setting the stage for $1.6 trillion in deficit spending per year, the President’s plan will cause the debt to grow from $34,500,000,000,000 today… Read more »
Last week, President Biden made the decision to give a speech filled with campaign rhetoric rather than deliver a unifying, “City on a Hill” State of the Union Address.
The President’s speech was tailored to a narrow audience and missed the mark with most Americans. On the topic of border security, President Biden attempted to shift the blame from his own failed, open… Read more »

In order to meet our energy needs, lower prices, and create good-paying jobs, we need an energy strategy that prioritizes domestic energy development. The United States is in a unique position because of our massive reserves of natural gas.

On Christmas Eve 2023, an estimated 200 Nigerian Christians were killed by Islamic Jihadists. Sadly, this tragedy is not an isolated occurrence. Reports indicate that in 2022 alone, at least 145 Catholic priests in Nigeria were killed, with 30 others kidnapped, in 39 separate terror attacks.
In response to these heinous acts, in January, I led a letter to Secretary of State Antony… Read more »
