What’s Behind the Attack on Gas

01/15/2023

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. Already, several communities in California and New York have banned natural gas hookups in new construction, which means no gas stoves – and no gas furnaces or water heaters, either.

It’s What We Have Been Asking For…For Years

01/11/2023

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. These courageous representatives knew the House rules desperately needed to change, as voters have known all along, and they finally decided to stand strong on the demands.

Conservative Reaction to Speakership Race

01/09/2023

“After the entire political establishment, including all manner of legacy conservative pundits, said it was wrong or impossible, the 20 conservative stalwarts who temporarily blocked Kevin McCarthy from becoming Speaker have now forced an agreement that, as reported, is truly transformational in how the House of Representatives should be run.

Conservatives Demand a Voice

01/05/2023

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.

12/22/2022

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.

Dem’s Checking Off Christmas List

12/15/2022

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.

Conservatives Oppose the Pelosi-Schumer Lame-Duck Power Grab

12/09/2022

As the 117th Congress winds to a close, conservatives urge Republicans in Congress to oppose last minute lawmaking attempts in the lame duck session. Any new policy – including year-long spending deals and the passage of marquee bills like the National Defense Authorization Act – should wait until the new Congress is sworn in.
