Weekly Capitol Report

Case Closed

The Ukrainians got a call from President Trump. The Ukrainians got a meeting with President Trump. The Ukrainians got security assistance from President Trump. What did the President get in return? Nothing. Case Closed. In fact, just this week, in the latest update on the impeachment circus, we heard from the Left’s newest “star witness” who had actually spoken with the President about Ukraine. And under oath what did this witness tell a panel of 22 Members of Congress and millions of Americans ...

Impeaching, But Still Searching for a Crime

While the Left wishes it wasn’t the case, the facts remain the same: President Trump did nothing wrong. Since the facts don’t create a reason to impeach the President, Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Chairman Adam Schiff are now using the most desperate tactics to keep their endgame alive. First, it was top-secret auditions behind closed doors in the Capitol. Now, Adam Schiff has moved the spectacle into the national spotlight. Unfortunately for him, the lead witnesses have all failed to deliver “star”...

Honoring Our Heroes

The United States is the greatest country on the face of the earth because we join the brilliance of liberty with the incentive of opportunity. However, this combination of prosperity is not a guarantee. It was President Reagan who reminded us that, “freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn’t pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same.” We have remained the envy of the world because ever since...

Witch Hunt Continues

"I'm concerned that if we don't impeach this president, he will get re-elected." — Rep. Al Green (D-TX) Less than a year into President Trump’s administration, House Democrats were already voting on articles of impeachment. At the time it was because they were unable to accept the results of the 2016 election. Now, after watching their party’s primary debates, they know the only way they can beat the President is if they impeach him. That is why we have voted on impeachment three times already a...

Crippling Congressional Chaos

Never before in our history has the House of Representatives pursued an unsanctioned impeachment investigation of a president. Since launching the unilateral crusade against President Trump, Speaker Nancy Pelosi has failed to provide any institutional rules for these proceedings – a clearly partisan campaign in direct defiance of our democratic values of due process. Worst of all, at a time when our congressional to-do list includes keeping the government open and functioning beyond November 21,...

A Foul on American Values

“Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.” – Letter from Birmingham Jail on April 16, 1963 “A man dies when he refuses to stand up for justice.” – Sermon in Selma, Alabama on March 8, 1965 These are the words of civil rights icon Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr and these two quotes were also shared by LeBron James on Twitter to celebrate MLK Day in January of last year. While these words appear crystal clear in their meaning, earlier this week LeBron made an exception to the late Dr. Kin...

An Un-American Process

What Speaker Pelosi and her progressive pals are doing in the halls of our U.S. Capitol seems to defy even Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s most liberal interpretation of the Constitution and laws of the United States. Our Founders crafted the remedy of impeachment for serious situations and provided instructions for how that process would happen. Even though they were careful to make sure impeachment would not be used for purely partisan gains, that is exactly what Pelosi and the liberal elite have been t...

Here to Help

When I was a freshman in high school, I was summoned before my local city council over their objections to my FFA project. Their inflexible position forced my family to make a tough decision: if I wanted to keep my project operating—which is ultimately how I paid my way through college—my family and I would be forced to leave town. After multiple attempts to change the city’s mind, we moved outside the city limits. After my experience, I wanted to make sure the government did not intrude on othe...

Paralyzed With Hatred

Nancy Pelosi and her progressive base have finally shown the world their true agenda: impeaching President Trump. On Tuesday, Speaker Pelosi announced that she and her liberal lieutenants were launching an official impeachment inquiry into the President because of news reports she saw surrounding a phone call he made earlier this year. At the time she made the announcement, neither the whistleblower’s report nor the transcript of the conversation between President Trump and the President of Ukr...

America's Energy Independence

Over the weekend, we were all alarmed by the images of oil fields on fire in the Middle East. Historically, whenever there is global uncertainty around the security of the world’s oil supply, it sends energy prices soaring, which impacts the day to day lives of the hardworking people here in southern Missouri just trying to make ends meet. All of a sudden, families are forced to stretch their budgets further than expected due to higher costs to heat their homes or to fill up on gas. However, all...
