I completely support Governor @henrymcmaster’s decision to stop taking federal unemployment assistance at the end of next month instead of waiting for it to expire in September.

thestate.com/news/politics-…
The federal unemployment benefit has had the effect of discouraging return to work, and it is now time for that program to come to an end.
The federal unemployment benefit has made it almost impossible for service industry businesses to maintain their workforce. In a majority of cases, the unemployment benefits exceed wages earned from working.
Governor McMaster’s decision will jumpstart the service industry, which has suffered greatly during the pandemic. I know many have lost work due to no fault of their own, but it is now time to let the economy open fully depending on employer wages, not government benefits.

The Biden Administration’s recent statements that the surge in illegal immigration is not due to their policies is insane, offensive, and just plain wrong.

foxnews.com/politics/biden…
The Biden Administration changed several key Trump administration policies, including changing the ‘Remain in Mexico’ policy back to the failed policy of ‘Catch and Release.’
Migrants are now processed in the United States and released.

That is why there is a tremendous surge of migrants across our southern border.

The Biden Administration is openly making clear they rejected sound military advice to keep a residual force in Afghanistan.

They are bragging about the fact Biden stood up to the generals and rejected their advice.

politico.com/news/2021/04/1…
The Biden team includes the same people who argued for a complete withdrawal from Iraq, which caused the rise of ISIS.

‘General Biden’ has been wrong about every military decision in recent memory, and he is putting America in a very dangerous position.
“Joe Knows Best” is getting a bit old and has never worked out.

President Biden was VP Biden when he argued against the military recommendations regarding Iraq.

Expanding the Supreme Court is a terrible idea.

I strongly oppose this proposal and will vote against it should it come up for a vote.

foxnews.com/politics/repub…
I cannot say it better than two members of the liberal bloc on the Court, Justice Ginsberg and Justice Breyer: changing the number of justices on the Court does tremendous damage to the Court itself.
Those pushing this idea are among the most liberal in the entire Congress.

They are trying to dilute the conservative majority of the Court by implementing the radical policy of Court-packing.

The @60Minutes story accusing Governor DeSantis of pay to play regarding vaccine distribution was a terrible political hit job.
@60Minutes has a long history of investigating abuse of power. Unfortunately, it is clear to me the segment on Governor DeSantis was about creating a narrative, not reporting the facts.
We now know that the Mayor of Palm Beach county’s statements would’ve changed the entire narrative about pay to play. It is clear to me it was intentionally left out.

What a pathetic and weak decision by @MLB to give in to the Radical Left’s false attack on Georgia voting laws!

foxnews.com/sports/mlb-all…
@MLB This is an insult to the people of Georgia who are trying to create a robust voting system and maintain integrity at the ballot box.

I promise you this will not go unanswered by legislative bodies and millions of Americans.
@MLB The good people of Georgia, remember President @JoeBiden called your efforts to secure voting ‘Jim Crow’ and supported a boycott of the All-Star game being played in Atlanta.

Georgia voting laws are not Jim Crow, they’re common-sense reforms to ensure robust and legal voting.

Paging Dr. Fauci:

You need to go to the southern border and witness in person the biggest super spreader event in the nation – President @JoeBiden's immigration policies.
@JoeBiden Thousands of migrants from Central America are coming into the country with a 10% COVID-positive rate.

They have 900 people staying in a room built for 80 – overcrowded by more 1,000%!
@JoeBiden Migrants in these facilities are intermingled and on top of each other.

After being around COVID-positives, they are dumped off in Texas and taken to other parts of the country furthering the spread.
