  • Hoping for a Red Sky at Night Soon

    Time to stop incentivizing rust and once and for all galvanize the American boat. It has a severely rusting hull. Take the time to understand the precipice our nation is on and understand that the only rust repellant is a strong vote for galvanizing the Constitution. Hoping for a Red Sky at Night soon.
  • Highland County Amateur Radio Association honors memory of Tom Archibald
    The Highland County amateur radio community recently lost a member and dear friend, Tom Archibald, K8TDA. Tom was one of those quiet people who would do anything for another person, even if they had just met.
  • A tribute to our American Olympic athletes
    The Olympic Games truly embody the pinnacle of human achievement and perseverance, showcasing the dedication and hard work of athletes all around the world.
  • A moment of unity
    Last week, on July 24, I had the honor of witnessing a moment of rare unity in the oftentimes divided and chaotic Congress when Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu delivered remarks to a joint meeting of Congress in Washington, D.C.
  • Reflecting on Independence Day
    Last Thursday, on July 4th, we celebrated our nation’s independence and freedom. It was the 248th anniversary of when the Declaration of Independence was signed, and the United States of America officially became an independent nation, and no longer a colony of England.
  • The impending solvency of Social Security
    The true cause of our growing national debt is non-discretionary, or mandatory spending, programs. As a matter of fact, over the next 30 years, Social Security faces a $19 trillion deficit and Medicare faces a $44 trillion deficit. If we are truly going to produce a balanced budget, which we should be striving to do, we need to be having serious discussions about these entitlement programs, which make up approximately 60 percent of all spending.
  • Biden’s 'free college' scam
    Put simply, each time President Biden announces more student loan cancellation, he is giving away free government money to an abundance of high-salary professionals.
  • ‘Don’t fall for it:’ Trump blasts Senate border bill
    Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Ark., blasted the bill on X Monday, one of several Republican senators to use strong language against the bill. “The bill codifies catch-and-release under so-called ‘alternatives to detention’ for any alien who says they *intend* to apply for asylum or another protection,” Cotton wrote. “The bill gives immediate work permits to everyone who says they want asylum, as long as they pass an initial screening by liberal bureaucrats. This will be a huge magnet for more illegal immigration.”
  • Sen. Cotton: Biden’s appeasement of Iran allowed U.S. deaths; devastating retaliation necessary
    “Joe Biden emboldened Iran for years by tolerating attacks on our troops, bribing the ayatollahs with billions of dollars, and appeasing them to no end. He left our troops as sitting ducks and now three are dead and dozens wounded, sadly as I’ve predicted would happen for months." – Sen. Cotton
  • A year of accomplishments
    As we return to work for the second session of the 118th Congress, I hope the Senate will come to the table and try to move some of these critical legislative items for the American people. In the interim, House Republicans remain committed to continue working to pass legislation to secure the southern border, fight inflation, reject Bidenomics and much more.
  • The imperative of a robust national defense
    From wavering commitments to our allies in the face of emerging threats to questionable strategic decisions that have undermined our international standing, President Biden’s missteps have eroded the confidence of our partners and emboldened our enemies. 
  • Freezing Iran’s support for radical terrorism
    An emboldened Iran will only lead to more chaos across the Middle East. Our country must continue to tighten sanctions, expand the Abraham Accords and become more meaningfully engaged in the region militarily and diplomatically to prevent these acts of terror from worsening and becoming more lethal.
  • Another expensive holiday season
    As yet another expensive holiday season has begun and while families begin preparing to buy gifts for their own homes and loved ones, Americans certainly see that Democrats’ reckless spending has caused a severe lag in our economy’s ability to bounce back from the COVID-19 pandemic.
  • A proud heritage
    Each year during the month of November, I am proud that our nation takes this time to reflect on the unique heritage, rich history and special contributions of Native Americans. As a proud member of the Chickasaw Nation of Oklahoma, I always take this special time to reflect on my tribal heritage and the importance of tribes and their members in the United States.
  • We must secure the border
    Even Democratic leaders and lawmakers, who have long denounced the need for stronger border security, have even begun waking up to this crisis. Incentives that have exacerbated this crisis have hurt nearly every city across the United States
  • Continued chaos at the southern border
    A secure nation must first begin with secure borders. Just as he has done since his inauguration, President Biden is ignoring the crisis at our southern border. By not reversing his and his administration’s open border policies, the president is only allowing this historic humanitarian and national security crisis to continue.
