FBI lawyer Kevin Clinesmith is expected to plead guilty to deliberately fabricating evidence in a FISA warrant application to spy on Carter Page during the 2016 election. Glad to see movement in this investigation.
Americans deserve to see justice!

Discussing the Durham Investigation on the Evening Edit
|
Americans deserve to see justice served for the abuse of power and corruption shown by the FBI/DOJ against Donald Trump in 2016. The public has waited for five years – if John Durham concludes his investigation before November, he must show us his findings. The truth cannot wait.

| Minneapolis Officials Make Absurd Request of Citizens |
So, not only did Minneapolis officials tolerate and condone the destruction of businesses and private property in the name of “peaceful protests,” they now expect citizens to pay their 2020 property taxes in full before being able to clear the damage and rebuild? WHAT?!

| America's Decisions in November Will Determine the Fate of Our Nation |
I joined Sean Spicer and Lyndsay Keith on Spicer & Co. this week on Newsmax TV to discuss how consequential the decisions made in November will be for the future of our nation. The American people have a clear choice: Socialism and anarchy or free enterprise and law and order.

| The Left's View of Law and Order Involves Zero Consequences |
The Left’s view of law and order: Zero consequences for your actions. How can anyone trust these liberal leaders to keep them safe?

| CBP and HSI Agents Uncover Sophisticated Cross-border Tunnel in Arizona |
While investigating a sinkhole near the border in Yuma, AZ, CBP and Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) agents uncovered one of the most sophisticated cross-border tunnels in our history. No doubt, cartels have smuggled countless drugs and people through it into the U.S. – but no more!
|
| Democrats Go Against Their Own Party |
Speaker Pelosi can try to deny that her bill was nothing more than a socialist wish list, but even members of her own party call it what it was. The American people deserve better.
|
| The Far-left Should Follow Their Own Logic |
If Democrats are willing to cut police department budgets across the country because it's "safer," then when will they cut the budget of the security staff that protect them 24/7? If it's good enough for the American people, it should be good enough for them.

| July Marked the Third Consecutive Month of U.S. Job Growth |
July marked the third consecutive month of U.S. job growth! Since May, 9.3 million new jobs have been added to the market – beating expectations by 12 million. As we continue to combat this virus – we must maintain our course toward a fully-opened economy.

| Communist China Continues to Apprehend Anyone Who Stands Up Against its Freedom-crushing Regime |
Communist China continues to apprehend anyone who stands up against its oppressive, freedom-crushing regime. The CCP’s actions to end Hong Kong's autonomy are distressing. We must continue to fight for freedom and democracy.
|
| Liberals Do Not Care About COVID-19 Relief |
If you think the radical Left cares about getting COVID-19 relief to Americans – think again. If they don’t get their socialist wish list, Democrats would rather nothing get done. As Rep. Jayapal stated back in April, they'd be "giving away leverage."

| Fighting to Protect the Second Amendment |
I'm proud to join my colleagues in requesting that the Justice Department stand up for the Second Amendment and look into crooked prosecutors who'd rather take away American rights than uphold the Constitution. The Second Amendment must be protected!

| Democrat Leaders Refused to Hold the People's Republic of China Accountable Before the Pandemic Began |
Democrat leaders have refused to hold Communist China accountable since before the pandemic began. Speaker Pelosi stated that blaming the Chinese Communist Party for the COVID-19 outbreak was a "diversion."
They don't care about facts because the truth doesn't play well with their skewed narrative. |
| The Left Should Be Held Responsible for Ramifications that Come From Slashing Police Funds |
All of the left-wing radicals calling to cut funding to police departments – some wanting to slash as much as 50% – should be held accountable when there aren't enough cops to respond to emergency calls and protect the citizens who need and ask for it.
|
| Unemployment Continues to Decline |
Democrats hate to see it, but unemployment continues to go down as America slowly and safely reopens. President Trump created the best economy we’ve seen in 60 years, and he will do it again!
|
| America is Proud to Have Taiwan as an Ally |
| America is proud to have Taiwan as an ally. President Tsai Ing-wen remains steadfast against the authoritarian rule of Communist China because she values liberty, human rights, and democracy. I'm glad to support her and Taiwan in this fight.

| An Extremely Tragic Situation |
Extremely tragic situation. My heartfelt prayers go out to this family, and I hope that swift justice is served for this evil crime.
What is America coming to with the killing of innocent children?

| Democrat Leaders Finally Call Rioters What They Have Been All Along |
It's about time that Mayor Lightfoot called these rioters what they've been all along – CRIMINALS. These are not new actions taking place – this destruction has been going on the entire time in cities all across the nation. Law and order must be restored.
|
| Border Agents Risk Their Lives to Save Illegal Aliens |
It's disgusting that some elected officials would compare CBP
officers to vile Nazis and the KKK. These brave men and women put their lives on the line daily to SAVE those attempting to illegally enter the U.S. – from rescuing those crossing rivers to those left to die by human smugglers.

| Secretary Pompeo Safeguards Schools and Universities from CCP Propaganda |
CCP (Chinese Communist Party) propaganda has no place in American schools and universities. Thanks Secretary Pompeo for ensuring that this communist regime is checked and our students are protected.

| Japan Gives its Unconditional Surrender |
Friday marked 75 years since Imperial Japan announced its unconditional surrender effectively bringing World War II to a close. Several weeks later, on September 2, 1945, officials from the United States, other Allied nations, and Japan signed the “Japanese Instrument of Surrender” on the deck of the USS Missouri marking the official end of the Second World War.
As the son of a World War II veteran, and student of history, I am reminded of the sacrifices that America’s Greatest Generation made to keep our nation free so many years ago.
