The concept of life is weaved throughout every tenet within the GOP Platform. From conception to natural death, Republicans are expected to uphold this basic freedom that is endowed by our Creator and affirmed by our Constitution.

After the uproar over a potential ban on gas stoves, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission issued a clarifying announcement that no, they do not plan to ban gas stoves, but they do want voluntary compliance.

Under the guise of the 11th Commandment (“Be Nice”), way too many so-called conservatives fretted last week about the House Freedom Caucus’ determination to do what their constituents had elected them to do.

The 118th Congress began on Tuesday with a mix of new and seasoned Representatives. As is tradition, all House members were joined by their families in the Chamber to celebrate their first day on the job. Sadly for the families, they left without seeing the Representatives sworn in.

The House and Senate finally wrapped up their final business last week just in time for Christmas and to allow us a short rest before the new year and new Congress. Now is a great time to make an end-of-the-year donation to Eagle Forum that will allow us to continue the important work we do not only in Washington, D.C. but throughout the nation.

In the final days of the Lame Duck session, Democrats and some Republicans have come to an agreement on a year-long omnibus spending bill for the remainder of FY2023. While those Republicans are touting their “wins,” they are buried underneath the nearly $1.7 trillion price tag and the typical leftist policies that will be continued next year.

It’s the most wonderful time of the year, especially for Democrats. They are still working through their long wish list of liberal agenda items during the Lame Duck session. The legislation they couldn’t seem to pass before November’s elections are getting a second wind.

As the 117th Congress winds to a close, conservatives urge Republicans in Congress to oppose last minute lawmaking attempts in the lame duck session.

If a huge border crisis wasn’t bad enough, liberal lawmakers are pushing lame duck legislation to loosen our immigration laws.

The Congressional lame duck session has run amok. Nothing highlighted the lawlessness of this period more than the politics surrounding the Respect for Marriage Act (H.R. 8404).

As we look forward to our Thanksgiving dinners this week, some of us may be thankful if one topic doesn’t come up: politics.
