When the leaders of the Democratic Party, under the guise of “saving democracy,” prop up a doddering 81-year-old incumbent president by banning intra-party debates, manipulating their primary calendar, kicking the opposition party’s frontrunner off the ballot, going after his bank roll and trying to put him in prison – all while demonizing independent candidates and blocking their ballot access – America has a problem. And that’s only on one side.

Last week, House Republicans took a massive step toward extending President Trump’s tax plan from 2017. The Tax Relief for American Families and Workers Act encourages American innovation, supports small businesses, punishes China, gives back to families, and cracks down on fraud and waste.

The deal would allow 4,000 to 5,000 illegals to cross into the U.S. per day before expulsion measures begin. That’s 150,000 per month and 1.8 million per year. It is shocking that senators would actually propose legislating any number of illegal crossings into the United States. In effect, this deal would codify Biden’s reckless open border policies and compromise a future president’s ability to enforce border security.

Those who do not remember history are doomed to repeat it. We cannot forget the putrid evil that was the Holocaust so that it may never happen again. As we remember the victims, we must also strive to build a future where the lessons of the Holocaust shape a world that embraces the inherent dignity of every individual.

I really do appreciate all living things, even the small ones. I have been known to gently shoo a spider out the front door, and of course I love the honey bees, but I am far from a fan of the wintertime, home-invading lady beetle.

Mr. Winston Churchill, former prime minister of England during the years of WWII, is quoted as saying, “Never ever, ever, ever give in.” 

When one looks at the history of countries with shady governments, the genesis of this problem has usually been manipulation of their court system. Whether they be “banana republics,” dictatorships or something else, the path from a well-organized, honest government to a poorly organized, dishonest government has often gone through the courthouse.

Ladies and gentlemen, we’ve been discussing the family of the Rev. Joseph McDowell Mathews, a pioneer of Highland County education, for quite a while now (yes, we’ve reached Part 16), but we might as well finish the tale of James Trimble Mathews before we move on.

Our bill will modernize and strengthen the rules to improve tracking of who owns U.S. farmland – and that will help us block countries like China and Russia from buying up this land.

Four years ago, Generation Z, or those born from 1997-2012, broke the record for young voter turnout. Their champion? Then-77-year-old Joe Biden. Four years later, less than 50% of 18-29 year-olds “definitely” plan on voting, and only 33% of the age group approves of President Biden’s job performance.

In the dynamic landscape of global entertainment, the influence of Beijing over Hollywood has long been a topic of heated discussion. While the box office power of the Chinese market has waned, giving a breath of creative freedom back to our filmmakers, there looms a new and more pervasive form of influence on Hollywood and well beyond: TikTok.

Historians and the general public regularly rank Abraham Lincoln as America’s greatest president. There is little doubt that he is widely admired for the work he did to end slavery and preserve the Union. But beyond these two important points, most Americans know little else about Lincoln’s life.

Virtue signaling climate scientists and their dutiful DOD disciples, whose premises are based on computer modeling, enact policies that weaken the military and serve as classic examples of those who hijack science to advance political agendas.

President Biden's decision to halt LNG export approvals undermines these critical advancements, unnecessarily threatening the economic, energy and national security of the U.S. and our allies.

Newly released survey data shows even more Americans are citing economic hardship from the spike in prices in recent years. Prices have risen about 18% since President Joe Biden took office.
