In Democrats’ rush to green, they have overlooked the necessity of fossil fuels in this world. I’ve previously discussed our supply chains’ inability to support Joe Biden’s climate agenda, and now we see another facet that the Democrats have missed: grid reliability. Democrats are pushing Green New Deal policies that leave our country dependent upon unreliable energy sources, straining our electri... Read more »

Last week, Joe Biden stood in front of a crowd in Pennsylvania and delivered one of the most divisive speeches I have ever heard from an American president. Joe Biden ran a presidential campaign supposedly based on unity. This speech was anything but unifying. Instead of offering solutions to the many crises his administration has created, Biden chose to attack and further divide his fellow Americ... Read more »

Wednesday, August 31st, is National Overdose Awareness Day, and I want to take this time to discuss the recent surge of fentanyl analogues and the danger they pose to our communities. Fentanyl is a controlled substance. However, illicit fentanyl production is the primary driver of our record-breaking numbers. Fentanyl abuse has become more prevalent and more dangerous in recent years due to “fenta... Read more »

Among the many disastrous provisions found in the Democrats’ Inflation Reduction Act, there is one in particular that is of great concern. This legislation awards $80 billion to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) to expand their workforce and hire 87,000 new agents. This plan would make the agency larger than the Pentagon, State Department, and Border Patrol combined. The IRS is currently sitting ... Read more »

Agriculture is a part of who we are in Oklahoma. Our farmers and ranchers provide everything from food to fuel and fabric for our communities and employ over 300,000 Oklahomans along the way. Generations of families have dedicated their livelihoods to our land, and we could not be more grateful for it. Recent reports of China acquiring U.S. farmland and agriculture companies is not only a threat t... Read more »

Education is the most valuable tool that we can give the next generation. As Oklahoma families prepare to and send their kids off to school, I want to recognize our teachers and what they do for all of us, especially our rural communities (a near and dear place to my heart). As a father of six kids who attend public school in Oklahoma, I have witnessed the dedication of Oklahoma’s teachers firstha... Read more »

America is the land of opportunity, where everyone can work hard to achieve success. Oklahomans know this, and it is reflected throughout the hundreds of thousands of small businesses across our state. The entrepreneurial spirit is about hard work, not the heavy hand of the government that President Biden and Democrats in Congress are trying to force on the American people. Ninety-nine percent of ... Read more »

Amid skyrocketing inflation, historic national debt, and talks of a recession, Joe Biden is flipping to yet another page in his failed economic playbook: student loan forgiveness. Student loan payments have been on pause since the start of COVID-19 spread back in March 2020. As the August 31st expiration date nears, there are talks the Biden Administration will not only extend this freeze, but als... Read more »

The money that your federal government spends is divided into two categories: mandatory spending, where Congress unacceptably put it on autopilot, and discretionary spending, which has to be directed each year. For now, let’s set aside the runaway mandatory part and talk about the money that makes up Congress’ traditional role in the power of the purse. Discretionary spending, this category that C...

The loss of America’s energy independence has unsurprisingly come with consequences. The most obvious to consumers is the increased pain at the pump. However, there is one consequence that is less apparent but is no less important. Biden’s disastrous energy policies are not just weakening America, they are directly emboldening one of our nation’s greatest adversaries: China. One of the key compone... Read more »
