The Biden administration’s ineptitude has had a catastrophic impact on Americans’ bank accounts — the average family has lost $6,000 in annual wages. From the self-inflicted energy crisis to the baby formula shortage, it is clear that the White House’s leftist policies are shortsighted and disastrous for our nation.

Now that the Biden administration has led us into 

a recession, it is more important than ever to reduce our spending. Yet, the Left has disregarded fiscal responsibility in favor of wasteful spending bills and massive handouts. Congress must act immediately to help alleviate the burden on Americans.

To do so, Congress should:

• Pass my bill, the Federal Agency Sunset Commission Act, to eliminate duplicative and inefficient spending.
• Pass a true budget instead of voting on last-minute omnibus packages.
• Unleash American energy production to reduce energy costs.
• Prioritize securing our own borders over Ukraine’s.

More can and must be done.

I joined Newsmax to discuss the Biden administration’s manufactured Border Patrol scandal. 

Recently, it was revealed that DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas knew the truth about the “whipping controversy,” but instead chose to vilify the innocent border patrol agents under his command. It was clear from day one that this was a manufactured scandal to advance this administration’s agenda, and this news confirms that. 

The Biden administration continues to neglect their constitutional obligation to secure our border and protect our homeland. Due to this dereliction of duty, drugs are pouring into our communities, a record number of terrorists have crossed the border, and criminal cartels are making billions in profits from human and drug trafficking.

Secretary Mayorkas has repeatedly shown his unwillingness to enforce the law, secure our borders, and defend states from invasion. 

He must be impeached to protect our national security. 

I recently joined Oversight Committee Republicans in opening an investigation into United States Coast Guard (USCG) leadership’s unwillingness to allow religious exemptions for their COVID vaccine mandate. These mandates are not only harmful to service members’ careers but also create a self-inflicted wound to our military's recruitment rate. 

Religious freedom is protected by the U.S. Constitution and federal law. Yet, information received by the oversight committee shows that USCG denied nearly every applicant seeking a religious exemption from the COVID vaccine mandate. The Coast Guard deserves our appreciation for their tireless work, yet service members are being punished with dismissal due to Biden’s unconscionable COVID vaccine mandate. 

As war rages across the globe and natural disasters affect our country, it is imperative that we not weaken our own military by firing service members who refuse to receive a vaccine on religious grounds. In Congress, I introduced two bills, and have cosponsored several others to defend Americans from these unconstitutional mandates. 

Our service members deserve better.

Furthermore, as more information comes out about the vaccine’s development, we are learning about the true nature of its ineffectiveness at preventing the spread of COVID.  Unfortunately, the CDC has voted to add COVID-19 vaccines to their 2023 childhood and adult immunization schedules. This would require millions of schoolchildren to take the COVID-19 vaccine before attending school. I am opposed to any type of COVID-19 vaccine mandate.

Recently, I joined the Wade and Carter Show, which you can watch HERE.
