For the last three and a half years, Republicans have been sounding the alarm over President Joe Biden’s fitness for office. His incoherent speeches, disastrous policies, physical struggles, and blank stares are just a few of the signs we’ve seen. There is nothing wrong with getting old – it’s part of life. But it’s a completely different scenario when we’re talking about the president of the United States – the most powerful person in the world. For years, congressional Democrats, the liberal e...

On July 13, the nation watched with horror when a crazed shooter attempted to assassinate former President Donald Trump. The fact that he survived this attack can only be described as a miracle. While I’m incredibly grateful the former president is safe, it’s tragic that a murderous nut job took the life of an innocent father and seriously injured two others. My prayers are with the family of Corey Comperatore, who died heroically protecting his wife and daughter, and I wish a quick recovery to ... READ MORE
On July 1, the Supreme Court dealt a massive blow to the radical Left’s attempts to use the powers of the judiciary to target and take down former President Donald Trump. The court made clear that a president cannot be criminally prosecuted for actions they take while in office – something I’ve said all along. While the Supreme Court’s decision was a major win, weaponizing the federal government to take down political opponents is only one part of the Left’s multi-pronged strategy to get their p...

Republicans are already hard at work to once again deliver for working families and small businesses by building on the success of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act next year. The 2017 tax law is a blueprint for prosperity that should be made permanent, and all options are on the table to ensure the biggest winners continue to be low- and middle-income people. As chairman of the chief tax-writing committee in Congress, extending the 2017 Trump tax cuts and preventing President Joe Biden’s plan for a nea... READ MORE
Ever since I was a kid, Independence Day has always been one of my favorite holidays. While grilling out and setting off fireworks is always a great time, the most important thing about July 4th is celebrating the birth of America – the greatest nation in the world. Nearly 250 years ago on July 4th, the colonies came together and adopted the Declaration of Independence – one of the most influential documents in world history. In it, the Founding Fathers wrote, “We hold these truths to be self-ev... READ MORE
Like so many Americans, I am completely fed up with the Left’s endless attacks on rural communities and our way of life. Whether they’re trying to ban gas-powered vehicles, legalize abortion on demand, or force people to take COVID vaccines, the Left views the federal government as a tool to transform Missouri into a blue state like California or New York. That’s especially true when it comes to the Second Amendment. During a recent speech pushing his anti-gun agenda, President Joe Biden said, “... READ MORE
Today, U.S. Representative Jason Smith (Mo.) announced that he has coauthored legislation to block the Biden administration’s rule mandating electronic identification (EID) eartags for cattle and bison moving interstate. “The Biden administration has no business forcing Missouri ranchers to comply with this overreaching, expensive, and unworkable mandate,” said Smith. “Sadly, this is just another example of Washington bureaucrats trying to dictate how America’s ranchers – the best in the world –...

On June 8, the Israeli military launched a daring mission to free four hostages who were held captive for months by evil Hamas terrorists in Gaza. I’m incredibly grateful that these innocent people are safe and back at home with their families, and I pray that the other hostages – including Americans – will also come home soon. Following the successful rescue mission, we learned that a so-called “journalist” working for a publication called The Palestine Chronicle – part of an organization, the ... READ MORE
The day the verdict was reached in New York v. Trump will go down as a dark day in our nation’s history. The former president was convicted and could be thrown in jail over charges that should have never been brought against him in the first place. This case was led by a left-wing prosecutor who ran for office promising to bring charges against Trump; it was overseen by a left-wing judge whose own daughter was helping Democrat politicians fundraise off the trial; and it was held in one of the mo...

Today, U.S. Representative Jason Smith (Mo.) released the following statement on the verdict in New York v. Trump: “As president, Donald Trump was targeted by the radical Left who were intent on taking him out by any means necessary. This case was brought against him by a left-wing prosecutor who ran for office promising to bring charges against President Trump; it was overseen by a left-wing judge whose own daughter was helping Democrat politicians fundraise off the trial; and it was held in on...
