There are a lot of heroes in society. They include moms and dads, doctors, nurses, and teachers, and those who go above and beyond to help others at great risk to themselves. I want to recognize three examples of such bravery today: Jim…

A headline in today's Roll Call reads: White House, Democrats cry foul over GOP push to enforce immigration and other laws. Really? The Constitution is clear about how our government is supposed to work. Congress makes the laws; the…

The President has unilaterally delayed the employer mandate again. It is hard not to blame him. Last week, CMS reported that 11 million Americans who work at small businesses will have higher premiums because of the President's health care…
