Conservatives Takeover House Committees

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. 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.

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. 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
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). After forty-seven House Republicans helped advance the bill with no religious exemptions before the November elections, the Senate took it up this week.

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

Affirmative Action on the Rocks
The Supreme Court heard oral arguments this week on the role that race plays in college admissions. The organization Students for Fair Admissions sued Harvard College and the University of North Carolina (UNC) claiming that these schools discriminate against certain groups of people based on race. Both schools give preference to applicants that are African American, Native American, and Hispanic, but not to White or Asian.

Federal Dr. Frankenstein
The Biden administration is pushing Dr. Frankenstein-like experiments on our children that are reminiscent of the junk science of lobotomies. Unfortunately, the children who are coerced into these procedures won’t be able to take off the costume when they wake up from this nightmare.

Lame Duck and Cover!
The House and Senate Democrat reign is expected to come to an end after the November 8th elections. When (and if) the liberals find themselves out of power, they will be scrambling to pass the destructive agenda items they failed to pass during the first two years of the Biden Administration.

The Dems “Do-Nothing” Agenda

GOP Prioritizes Border Security
With just a flick of a pen, President Biden did away with the Trump-era border security policies as soon as he took office. For nearly two years, millions of immigrants have flooded the borders while the Biden administration has turned a blind eye.

Dems’ LGBT-CR
Rumor has it that Democrats want to attach a House-passed same-sex marriage bill to the CR. The ironically named Respect for Marriage Act (H.R. 8404) repeals the Clinton-era Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) which recognized marriage as between one man and one woman.
