Sen. Jim Inhofe (R-Okla.) uses a just-released video (below) to point out what happened at 3:09 a.m. (Eastern) on June 26 as most Americans were sleeping: Democratic leaders in the U.S. House of Representatives were creating a nightmare. “In the early morning hours,” he explains, Speaker Nancy Pelosi and her deputies were pushing the largest [...]

‘GIVE’ Act Prohibits Volunteers of Faith
March 25th, 2009 · 11 Comments
One week ago today, the U.S. House of Representatives passed the Generations Invigorating Volunteerism and Education Act. Incredibly, the measure — which passed by a vote of 321-105 — prohibits participation as a volunteer by anyone involved in religious activities. Sec. 125 of the measure outlines ten separate types of activities in which a participant [...]

Senate Democrats Oppose Energy Independence (Updated)
January 12th, 2009 · No Comments
Thanks to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.), legislation that will further hinder our nation’s ability to become energy independent (i.e., depend less upon foreign sources of oil and natural gas) is one step closer to becoming law. There are at least a couple of provisions — and perhaps more — in the just-passed Omnibus [...]

Bailout Raises 700 Billion Questions
September 29th, 2008 · No Comments
Call it an example of the power of positive thinking or something else, but the economic bailout package expected to gain House approval today is raising at least 700 billion questions in my mind. In particular, I’m concerned about the origin of the dollar amount being kicked around and the “legs” that seem to keep [...]

The cartoon above depicts how many Americans feel about the $700 billion bipartisan economic rescue legislation making its way through Congress at this time — about to be involuntarily squeezed.

‘Dry Hole’ Energy Bill Passes Democrat-Led House
September 17th, 2008 · 2 Comments
Oil and gas industry experts described it as a “dry hole” energy bill that “does little to increase oil and natural gas supplies and, in fact, may well result in less domestic production, which would make America more dependent on foreign energy.” Regardless, the Democrat bill that purports to allow more offshore drilling passed by [...]
