President Biden is really proud of himself, and he wants everyone to know it. He delivered an address to the nation moments ago, stating how he got really tough. . . after watching a communist Chinese spy balloon take off, drift across the Pacific, enter U.S. airspace over Alaska, move into Montana and cross the continental United States.
Biden told the American people that he shot down three additional objects, although we have no idea what they were. Seriously -- he literally said that.
"We don't yet know exactly what these three objects were," Biden said. "The intelligence community's current assessment is that these three objects were most likely balloons tied to private companies, recreation or research institutions studying the weather."
So, just to be clear, he waited days to shoot down the one object that we absolutely knew was an enemy spy balloon, and then decided to "shoot first and ask questions later."
How many Americans are going to sleep comfortably tonight knowing that our demented president is randomly shooting things out of the sky?
That's not leadership. It's a terrible attempt at "CYA."
When Biden concluded his prepared remarks, White House reporters immediately peppered the president with questions. Biden wandered aimlessly around the stage before walking off without answering a single one.

There's a crisis in Palestine, but you wouldn't know it from the Biden Administration's silence. Of course, I'm referring to East Palestine, Ohio, not a fictional Muslim state in the Middle East.
Eleven days ago, a train carrying toxic chemicals derailed in East Palestine, and a fire erupted. Eventually, the Biden Administration decided that the best course of action was to initiate a controlled burn. Residents in the area were forced to evacuate their homes.
In the days that followed, it became increasingly evident that this was a major environmental disaster. Fish and animals in the area are reportedly sick and dying.
People who returned to their homes are reporting serious health issues.
When it comes to the environment, we live in a hyper-aware atmosphere. We've declared war on our own energy industry in the name of saving the planet. Whole industries are being threatened because of climate change or some species of rodent no one has ever heard of.
Where are all the green groups now? Where is the EPA?
Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, who has yet to demonstrate much understanding of transportation issues, was silent for more than a week about this railroad disaster. He's been too busy lecturing us about his concern that there are too many white construction workers.
As Ohio Sen. J. D. Vance put it, "The problem we have is that we are ruled by unserious people who are worried about fake problems instead of the real fact that our country is falling apart in some of the most important ways."
Our prayers go out to the people of East Palestine, Ohio, and the surrounding area. State and local politicians should be speaking up loudly. Why are the good people of Middle America being ignored?
Well, we know what the liberal elites think about Middle Americans. They're "deplorable and irredeemable." They're "Christian nationalists" and "semi-fascists" who are "clinging bitterly to their guns and Bibles."
Normally, the left would be all over this. There is a big push on the left to connect race and environmental "justice." But the whole area affected by this environmental disaster is vintage Middle America and reliably conservative.
Maybe that's why the radical Biden Administration doesn't appear to care much because they haven't figured out a way to exploit the disaster in East Palestine, Ohio, to advance their left-wing agenda.
THE STATE OF OUR UNION UNDER BIDEN
I am honored to have hosted Sergeant Steven Knichel of the 5th district of Virginia as my guest at the State of the Union address. Sgt. Knichel has been a voice for those patriotic men and women in uniform who choose not to take the experimental COVID vaccine. Even though the vaccine mandate on our military has now been lifted, thousands were involuntarily separated from service, others have been denied promotions, and the Biden Pentagon has left many unanswered questions about their future.
I was disappointed in what President Biden had to say in his address. From massive spending, to higher gas prices, to a wide-open border, to a woke agenda in our schools, to weaponizing the government against conservatives, I do not believe his policies have been in the best interest of the American people. In my opinion, this should have been a one-sentence speech, where he said, "I am sorry to the American people for the harm I've caused, and I am reversing all of my policies."

No Asylum from CriminalsPresident Biden continues to implement America-last immigration policies and purposefully facilitate an invasion of 6 million illegal aliens, surrender operational control of our border to the Mexican crime cartels, and compromise the safety and security of all Americans. Currently, every resource committed to the border by the Biden Administration is intended to quickly process and release as many illegal aliens as possible into the interior of our country. |
Prioritizing Students in EducationOur first Committee on Education & the Workforce hearing of the new Congress was on the state of education. I discussed the importance of holding school administrators accountable and pointed to cases like the failure to notify recipients of national merit scholarship awards in Virginia in the name of "equity." We must ensure that we shift the focus from radical indoctrination back to the education of our students.

On the FloorThis week, I voted to condemn the CCP's balloon that violated U.S. sovereignty, end the vaccine requirement for travelers to the U.S., and disapprove the Washington D.C. voting law that would allow illegal aliens to vote in local elections. Additionally, I reiterated the importance of Second Amendment rights as outlined by the Constitution and NOT subject to bureaucratic interpretation.

GOOD News from WashingtonOur first Ed and the Workforce Committee hearing of the new Congress was on the state of education. I discussed the importance of holding school administrators accountable and pointed to cases like the failure to notify recipients of national merit scholarship awards in Virginia in the name of "equity."

Meetings in WashingtonIt was great to see friends from the 5th District, Christian and Amy Snead, who push back against woke ideology together by actively working to help school board members strengthen the education system in Virginia. Students and families deserve the best!

I met Michele, a loving grandmother and a 5th district constituent from Appomattox. Her 14-year-old granddaughter Sage was secretly being transitioned to a male name and pronouns by her high school without parental knowledge. She ran away and became a victim of human trafficking. By the grace of God, she was later recovered.
After her family endured this heinous tragedy, Michele began to courageously speak out against schools going behind parents' backs with radical gender ideology. It was a pleasure to meet this warrior for protecting students and reforming education. Read Michele and Sage's story here.
It was great to meet with Telly Tucker, President of the Institute for Advance Learning and Research, and Todd Yeats, Executive Vice President for Manufacturing Advancement, to discuss exciting work happening in Danville to train a skilled workforce that will contribute to our military readiness.
I met with Glenn Clary, Kenny Craig, and John Reid with Liberty University to discuss the impact of Department of Education regulations on universities, fair credentialing for students after they graduate, and the financial concerns around Biden's student loan transfer scheme.
Congratulations to Sebastian Enrique Medina for his appointment to the United States Military Academy. Thank you for your desire and bravery to serve our country! It was a pleasure to deliver this exciting news to Sebastian over the phone.

In the MediaThank you to Kevin Roberts of the Heritage Foundation for having me on his podcast to share about my PISTOL Act, the importance of the second amendment, and why it is important to push beyond the status quo and bring transformative change as conservatives in Washington.
I enjoyed joining Leland Vittert on set at the NewsNation DC Bureau to discuss the debt ceiling fight and how Republicans must hold the line in fiscal responsibility.
