President Biden's First 100 Days of Far Left Policies

We have now passed the 100 day mark in President Biden's Administration, and unfortunately the message of unity he professed during his inauguration has been nothing other than an empty promise. Last month, I wrote about the President's first 50 days in office, and how he could turn the tide in his next 50 days by reaching across the aisle. Sadly, he did not take my advice.

President Biden's first 100 days have resulted in: a plan to increase taxes, a record number of executive orders, a crisis at our Southern border, a court packing initiative, an infrastructure plan that has only 6% to do with infrastructure, and pro-choice political appointments. None of these live up to the standard of "unity". And while President Biden will tout his first 100 days during his Joint Session address next Wednesday, we already know they have been nothing but divisive.

During the campaign, Biden said he would be a President for everyone, not just Democrats. And not just for those who voted for him.  Can anyone name one act he has taken as President to signal that he is a President for Republicans, conservatives or those who did not vote for him?  I think we see that not only have his actions been service to Democrats solely, but more specifically, to those in the far left of his party.

D.C. Statehood Runs Counter to Founders' Intent

When the Founding Fathers created our federal government, they purposefully designated an area of land that was separate from the states and would not have the same voting power as the states. They did this in order to avoid blatant corruption and undue influence. This was the problem of our two previous capitals being in the states of New York and Philadelphia. 

Our Founders were smart, and they knew that a "state" that had the federal government within its borders was a recipe for disaster. Inevitably, they believed, the Representatives and Senators who voted and legislated on behalf of government employees would encourage corruption, centralize power, and create an unequal balance of power among the states. 

It's clear that D.C. statehood is an awful proposal that goes against the founding of our nation, yet House Democrats are championing it. They want to make D.C. a state just so they can get two additional Democratic Senators. It is a power grab that will have massive consequences. 

Last year when House Democrats pushed D.C. statehood through the House, I put up a poll on Facebook asking if you supported or opposed this notion. A whopping 85% opposed D.C. statehood, and needless to say it is for good reason. 

Remembering April 27, 2011

Finally, it's hard to believe that it has now been ten years since the tornado outbreak of April 27, 2011.  On that day 245 Alabamians lost their lives.  The vast majority of those deaths took place in the 4th Congressional District.  Below is a video we created back on the 5th Anniversary that lists the names of those who passed away in the 4th District.  I hope you will take some time to watch.  When you see the names, the ages, and just the large number of them, it really brings home how devastating that day was. We will never forget that day in our state's history or those we lost.

Here is a link to the video.
