Chapter 95, Article 10, of the North Carolina General Statues harbors one of the most powerful sentiments that has maintained its prominence in the Tar Heel State for almost 75 years: “The right to live includes the right to work.” On March 18, 1947, North Carolina’s right-to-work law was ratified, and since then, the freedom of workers to decide whether to join, pay dues to, and be… Read more »
This year officially marks the 50th anniversary of Title IX, a law from 1972 that mandates equal opportunities for women in education. While this anniversary deserves to be recognized, the threat of President Biden's flawed interpretation of this legislation looms larger than ever before.
This administration's radical reinterpretation of Title IX to include sexual orientation and gender… Read more »
Call a spade a spade. The inflation slew caused by both President Biden’s failed policies and Washington bureaucrats is no longer a crisis – it has rapidly evolved into an outright catastrophe. Republicans have been expedient in not only identifying the real causes of skyrocketing inflation, but also showing how inflation has impacted the lives of every American across this country. The… Read more »
For over a year, President Biden has searched far and wide for the elusive “root cause” of his self-inflicted border crisis – never once thinking to look at himself in the mirror. From the very start, Americans have taken his quest with a grain of salt – and rightfully so. His weak policies led to two million illegal immigrants crossing the southern border in one year. That’s almost equal… Read more »
Like a student who has skipped school for far too long, Congress should be charged with truancy, and the American people deserve to know why. To get to the root of this problem, we must turn back the clocks to 2020. On May 15, 2020, the House of Representatives passed House Resolution 965 along party lines. On the surface, this may sound like just another mundane measure passed by… Read more »
If families in North Carolina can set aside money for the things they need, and not run over budget, why can’t Congress do the same? Everywhere I travel to in North Carolina’s Fifth District, I hear the common refrain from hardworking people that Congress has been left off its budgetary leash for far too long. More taxpayer money is being spent without a shred of accountability. To put it… Read more »
No matter how ambitious or forward-thinking the Biden Administration tries to bill itself as, it cannot shake the stench of incompetence that surrounds every initiative it heads up. Two weeks ago, President Biden proclaimed that his COVID-19 national testing failure was, in fact, not one. On January 3, he did a 180-degree pivot on a call with the National Governors Association… Read more »
State and local tax deductions, commonly referred to within the Washington beltway as “SALT,” have become a lightning rod for bipartisan criticism over the past few weeks – a flashpoint that has received national attention.
Under H.R. 5376, the so-called “Build Back Better Act” that was passed by the U.S. House on November 19, the $10,000 cap on state and local tax deductions –… Read more »
The three greatest words outside the Bible — “We the People” — are found in the revered document that has defined the identity of America for centuries: The Constitution. On Sept. 17, 234 years ago, 39 patriots signed their names to a document that has become one of the most recognized symbols of freedom throughout history. What came from that day was nothing short of a dramatic… Read more »
I hear repeatedly from my constituents that students are not learning the history of our country, and it is truly unfortunate. Where we are as a country today is a direct result of our past. The significant events that shaped the United States are not being taught, or explained, in a fashion that is reflective of the facts. As a direct result, modern opinions that have been formed are… Read more »
