Democrats control the White House, the Senate, and the House of Representatives, but they still are unable to pass their unpopular agenda through the legislative. The Build Back Better scheme is on life support, and Congress seems to be incapable of doing much more than going after President Trump, who has not been in office for over a year. But that legislative stalemate hasn’t stopped their power grab. The vaccine mandates being pushed through by the Biden administration are incredibly unpopular and could never pass Congress.

I hope you and your family had a Merry Christmas! We received an early Christmas present when Senator Joe Manchin put the nail in the coffin – for now, at least – of President Biden’s troubled multi-trillion dollar Build Back Better plan. This tax-and-spend scheme, which would rely upon the abuse of Congress’s reconciliation powers to pass, would send inflation – already at record levels – to dizzying new heights. Inflation is at 39-year highs, and you don’t have to be an economist to know that trillions more in government spending would make it worse.

Supporting American men and women in uniform is one of the most important responsibilities of Congress, and passing the annual National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) is one of our primary tools. But in September when House Democrats brought an NDAA to the floor that did more to turn our military into a woke social experiment than enhance our national security, I couldn’t support it.
