Speaker Pelosi is attempting to appear to be acting in good faith by choosing to ignore funding any border security while calling a vote Thursday night on a budget plan that funds every shutdown federal agency for the balance of Fiscal Year 2019, this goes nowhere and everyone knows it.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell told reporters the House plans to open parts of the government is going nowhere in his body, "The Senate will be glad to vote on a measure that the House passes that the president will sign. But we’re not going to vote on anything else."

The outgoing House of Representatives went back to the drawing board and added $5 billion for the wall, the Senate will now take up the measure but a government shutdown is looming.

During the election, my callers would tell me he is the only one who fights back and I would tell them that Trump is nothing more than a silver spoon pansy who could talk tough because he would never have to back it up.

One-third of conservatives would pay for the wall with their own money, 19% percent said they would pay an additional $100, 19 percent said they would pay $300, and two percent said they would pay more than $1,000 per year.

During an insane meeting with the future Speaker of the House and Senate Majority Leader, the President declared he would welcome a government shutdown AND own the shutdown himself.

As a member of the House Appropriations Committee, one of my jobs is to work alongside my colleagues to see that the government is funded on time each year. It’s no secret that the process is far from perfect and Congress often falls short of executing this important responsibility in the way our founding fathers […]

Since Congress passed the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act last year, the American economy is booming, and Alabama families have more money in their pockets. By lowering taxes and simplifying the tax code, we have unlocked our economic potential and made life better for hardworking Americans. The economic numbers speak for themselves: higher wages, lower […]

Earlier this month, President Trump nominated Judge Brett Kavanaugh to be the next U.S. Supreme Court justice. Senator Doug Jones has been noncommittal about Kavanaugh saying, “I’m going to take an independent look at this nominee and do what I ultimately believe is in the best interests of my state and my country.” This should […]

President Trump took to Twitter Wednesday to congratulate Rep. Martha Roby in her House District 2 primary runoff victory against former District 2 congressman Bobby Bright.

Two years ago, I joined other Republican House members in unveiling our “Better Way” agenda. The agenda covered everything from national security to tax reform to the economy. It was a bold vision about a different path for America that wasn’t driven by a larger, more powerful federal government. Instead, we advocated for a better […]

Folks across East Alabama may have recently seen the Department of Justice (DOJ) Inspector General (IG) Report findings were released.

Unfortunately, there is one very serious issue that continues to make headlines: the horrific opioid epidemic that is […]

President Donald Trump appears to belong to what might be called the Benjamin Disraeli school of diplomacy. The British prime minister once counseled, “Everyone likes flattery; and when you come to Royalty you should lay it on with a trowel.” At his Singapore summit, Trump smartly saluted a North Korean general and then lavished praise […]

It goes without saying that Democrats would view President Trump’s North Korean negotiations quite differently than Republicans, but I was honestly surprised by the strong negative reaction of Trump critics on the right. Don’t get me wrong; some Trump critics on the right reflexively oppose everything he does or says, but my gut reaction when […]

At the G-7 summit in Canada, President Donald Trump described America as “the piggy bank that everybody is robbing.” After he left Quebec, his director of Trade and Industrial Policy, Peter Navarro, added a few parting words for Prime Minister Justin Trudeau: “There’s a special place in hell for any foreign leader that engages in […]
