The Moore You Know Column January 11-24, 2022
This month we hit the one-year mark of Joe Biden’s presidency. It would be difficult even for President Biden’s most ardent and well-meaning supporters to claim our nation is better off today than one year ago, although some of them tried (and failed). Let’s talk about what we have seen during the past year. The border crisis, which President Trump had done so much to correct, flared to the worst we’ve seen in a generation. In only twelve months, over 1.8 million illegally crossed our border – an amount equal to nine times the population of Montgomery. The crime crisis is at pandemic-level, with cities across our nation suffering skyrocketing murder rates. Drug and human trafficking are worsening, fueled by our open border. The economic crisis and historic inflation – the worst in four decades – harms every American. The supply chain crisis and labor crisis have combined to block shelves at our grocery stores from being stocked with necessities American families require. Our disastrous Afghanistan pullout was a historic national embarrassment. Just last week, President Biden made perhaps the most consequential his trademark gaffes, all but inviting Russia to invade our ally Ukraine. China, the source of the coronavirus pandemic, grows in geopolitical and economy strength with no consequences from Biden for its misdeeds. And since I mentioned the coronavirus, remember when President Biden said he would shut it down? He hasn’t managed to shut down the coronavirus, but he has shut down our economy through his unconstitutional mandates and closures.

But there is still hope for this nation. Last week, I witnessed hundreds of thousands of Americans gather together in Washington, D.C. to send the message that true equality begins before birth. Every life is precious and worth protecting, and it breaks my heart that over 63 million unborn children have been aborted since the disastrous Roe v. Wade. I was proud to stand with these pro-life Americans. I even had the honor to speak at the March for Life Breakfast and to be recognized for my pro-life support before the march.

I promised to serve my constituents with the most communication and transparency possible, and telephone town halls are a fun and informative way for me to speak directly with you about my work in Washington. Last week I held my latest telephone town hall focused on law enforcement issues. Thousands of residents from our district joined our Back the Blue Town Hall to discuss what I am doing to support law enforcement and efforts to fight the attacks on officers across our nation. I’ll be holding future town halls, so follow me on social media to stay connected.
