Who is raising our children?
The Parents Bill of Rights (H.R. 5) sponsored by Representative Julia Letlow (R-LA) will ensure that parents have access to what their children are learning in public education and be able to voice their concerns without being silenced.

Biden’s Batty Budget
As families across the nation are pinching pennies to pay for gas and groceries, the White House is finding more ways to spend our taxpayer dollars.

Non-Binary History Month?
March has been deemed Women’s History Month, but it seems that the only ones who truly celebrate women are conservatives. Liberals in Congress have pushed forward policies that erase women by allowing biological men in their private spaces and sports, demeaning motherhood, and separating moms from their children.

Whistleblower Exposes Child Experiments
The facade of “gender-affirming care” for minors is beginning to disintegrate.

Slanderous State of the Union

We are all in Border States Now
Over the last couple of years, the Biden administration’s hands-off policies regarding our nation’s border security and immigration laws have placed a huge burden on states and their residents to patch the cracks in the system.

Conservatives Demand a Voice
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 day’s agenda was halted by the lack of consensus on who should be elected Speaker of the House.

You Win Some, You Lose Some
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.

Omnibus Details are Destructive
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.

Dem’s Checking Off Christmas List
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.

The Grinches are ruling the Lame Duck Session
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).

Pass the Politics and the Peas
As we look forward to our Thanksgiving dinners this week, some of us may be thankful if one topic doesn’t come up: politics. If it does, there is a feast of issues that could be discussed but one is on the front burner in Congress. The Respect for Marriage Act “RMFA” (HR. 8404) will be served as the main course in the Senate next week.

Lame Duck Runs Afoul
The United States House and Senate kicked off the ‘lame duck’ session this week – that time between the election and the swearing-in of the new Congress. Historically, because outgoing Members are no longer accountable to their constituents and elections are as far off as possible, this is a time rife with mischief-making!

Election Day Takeaways
