On Monday, President Biden released a budget proposal calling for the highest sustained level of government spending in American history. Unfortunately, despite record-high inflation caused by his administration's reckless and…

Once again, the President of the United States made a terrible foreign policy blunder when he embarrassingly said that Vladimir Putin cannot remain in power. Almost immediately, the White House communications team did everything they could…

The Biden administration has a backup plan to address rising gas prices, if their Secretary of Transportation's comical recommendation for every American to buy an electric car doesn't pan out. Unfortunately, the plan includes secret talks…

Higher prices at the gas pump directly result from President Biden's actions. On his first days in office, he canceled the Keystone pipeline; he ended new oil and gas leases on Federal lands; and he is attempting to regulate the industry…

Today, I rise to honor Roy and Wilma Brown, who celebrated their 80th wedding anniversary this Monday. Married on March 14, 1942, at the Cumberland County Courthouse, Roy and Wilma have remained at each other's side ever since. Through the…

I thank the chairman for yielding time tonight. Madam Speaker, despite what President Biden and congressional Democrats have to say, higher prices at the fuel pump are not because of a Putin price increase. The price of a gallon of gas…

To this day, I am proud to have been one of, by my count, 56 Members of the House who have, in my opinion, not abdicated their constitutional duty to represent their constituents by participating in proxy voting.

Members bring no honor to themselves or to this institution when a foregone public health emergency is used as the reasoning for them not casting their votes in person.

Today, I rise in support of every American being negatively affected by inflation caused by President Biden and congressional Democrats' reckless spending policies over the last year. Inflation isn't something that happens overnight. It…

This past weekend, on my way to a military medal presentation in Crossville, Tennessee, I stopped to fill my SUV with gas. Like many Americans, I was shocked to have to pay nearly $4 a gallon for gasoline. Putin's invasion of Ukraine has…

I thank the gentleman from Louisiana for yielding me time this evening. Madam Speaker, today, I rise to remind President Biden that the State of the Union is in crisis, more so than at any time in my lifetime. After sitting in the House…

I was shocked when President Biden said ``we need to secure the border'' during his State of the Union address. In his first year in office, over 2 million illegal immigrants were apprehended at the southern border, deportations decreased…

I thank Vice Chairman Johnson for organizing this Special Order hour tonight and for yielding me time to speak. Mr. Speaker, today, I rise to ring the alarm bell regarding the United States' current financial crisis caused by the Biden…

We are in the middle of the coldest season of the year, which means Tennesseans and Americans across the country are turning up their thermostats. Unfortunately, the price of staying warm has skyrocketed after 1 year under the Biden…

I thank the gentleman from Louisiana for yielding. Madam Speaker, Democrats marketed the America COMPETES Act as a bill that would decrease our economic reliance on China and ramp up our domestic production. However, as we have already…

President Biden ran his campaign on a message of unity. Since day one of his administration, he has been defined by the divisive policies that are the wrong approach for Tennessee families and workers. In 2021, we saw cartels take control…

President Biden promised to ``shut down the COVID-19 virus, not the country.'' He also promised ``access to regular, reliable, and free COVID-19 testing.'' But as we near a year into his Presidency, he has failed to deliver on these basic…

Our Thanksgiving celebration for this year is in the rearview mirror, but the rising inflation that drove dinner costs higher this year is sticking around for Christmas and will continue to crush household budgets into the new year. From…

I thank my colleague from Florida for yielding to me tonight. And in fact, Putnam County is my home county. Madam Speaker, Tennesseans and Americans throughout the country who are already hurting from higher prices, widespread shortages…

Today, the United States Supreme Court will hear Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization, a major pro-life case that focuses on protecting the unborn, not restricting the rights of women. Instead of prioritizing the abortion industry…

I thank the gentleman from Colorado (Mr. Lamborn) for yielding and for claiming the time this evening to acknowledge the significance of honoring God's Word. Madam Speaker, as we gather tonight to recognize the 80th celebration of National…

Today, I come to the House floor to speak on behalf of business owners and employees and healthcare providers, including employees at Cookeville Regional Medical Center who are concerned about President Biden's unconstitutional vaccine…

10 months into the Biden administration and crisis defines this Presidency. Since President Biden took office, we have faced crisis after crisis, not the least of which is at our southern border. Right now, the United States is…

I thank my colleague from Louisiana for the opportunity to address the House today. This week, President Biden signed into law the $1.2 trillion Infrastructure and Investment Jobs Act, which focuses more on pushing Democrats' far-left…

Today, I stand here, in the people's House, entrusted with the responsibility of ensuring taxpayers' hard-earned dollars are spent appropriately and with the proper oversight in place. Yet, this week, House Democrats are pushing to ram…
