U.S. Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) delivered the following remarks today on the Senate floor regarding voting laws: “Practically every single week, Senate Democrats make another attempt at grabbing new power over American elections.“Remember, a giant partisan power grab over voting procedures in every county and state was Democrats’ ceremonial first priority of this whole Congress. They revealed their mission from the very start. That first proposal would have sent federal funds to political campaigns, overridden commonsense state rules like voter I.D., and even changed the Federal Elections Commission itself from a neutral referee into a partisan body.“It was…
The U.S. Senate Banking Committee formally received President Biden’s nomination of Professor Saule Omarova for Comptroller of the Currency. Notably missing from her paperwork, however, is a copy of her thesis, “Karl Marx’s Economic Analysis and the Theory of Revolution in The Capital.” On October 5, 2021, Senator Toomey sent a letter asking Ms. Omarova to provide the Committee with a copy of the thesis no later than October 13, 2021, to allow the Committee adequate time to translate and thoroughly review it. To this day, Ms. Omarova has neither provided a copy of her thesis to the Committee nor…

As the Biden Administration prepares to implement the E.O., the lawmakers express concerns it will jeopardize the operations of local police departments, fire departments, emergency medical systems, and other vital organizations across…
It may be impossible for the public to speak at a critical board meeting concerning the Roseau Lake Rehabilitation project. The project will seize farmland for the purported purpose of flood mitigation in northwest Minnesota. Four days before a crucial Roseau River Watershed District (RRWD) meeting that will include discussion of the controversial Roseau Lake Rehabilitation project, the RRWD Board made an unusual announcement: board meetings will no longer be viewable online, and individuals wishing to address the board must give 10 days’ notice. Other attendees will only be permitted to speak “at the discretion of the Chairman.” The Roseau…
This week, the Biden administration announced proposed rules on methane emissions, targeting energy exploration and production in the oil and gas industry. Timed to factor into negotiations at the COP26 conference in Glasgow, Scotland, the rule would impose more stringent requirements for maintaining natural gas and oil wells. (RELATED: White House Slams Americans as ‘High Class’ for Noticing Rising Prices) Senior Fellow Ben Lieberman responded to the announcement: “Just about every Biden administration measure impacting domestic energy production and prices is moving things in the wrong direction, and the Environmental Protection Agency’s proposed methane rule is no exception.

Joe Biden’s approval rating continues to plummet as voters sour on his radical agenda. Biden’s approval rating in FiveThirtyEight’s average of polls reached a new low this morning. 50.6% of voters disapprove of Biden while only 43.5% approve. That’s a 17.1% negative swing in three months. Joe Biden worked hard to get his approval rating this low. He created a border crisis and continues to ignore it. Americans are still stranded in Afghanistan after Biden’s botched withdrawal. Americans are paying more for gas and other important everyday consumer products. And the list goes on.

There is one thing every American can agree on: The cost of everyday goods has skyrocketed and paychecks seem to be shrinking. While workers, families and job creators clamor for answers about when these astronomical prices will come back down to earth and when the supply chain woes will end, Joe Biden and his administration are simply shrugging their shoulders.

Hispanic voters are running away from Democrats as fast as they can. Joe Biden and the Democrats seem to be puzzled about why Hispanic voters are moving away from their party in droves, but the reasons could not be clearer. They support the Republican agenda of smaller government, capitalism and secure borders. And they reject the Democrats’ agenda of big government, socialism and open borders. If Joe Biden and the Democrats want to know why Hispanic voters are leaving their party, they should look in the mirror.
