(From Seventh District Congressman Eric Burlison)On Thursday, I chaired a roundtable in the Subcommittee on Economic Growth, Energy Policy, and Regulatory Affairs focused on reducing America’s national debt by rooting out federal waste, fraud, abuse, and overregulation. During the discussion, I highlighted how Washington’s reckless spending has pushed the national debt well beyond sustainable levels, driving up interest rates, increasing everyday costs for families, and threatening America’s long-term economic and national security.

On Thursday, the House Oversight Subcommittee on Federal Law Enforcement held a hearing examining the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives’ (ATF) compliance with the Tiahrt Amendment and recent firearm related regulations. I discussed the importance of protecting the Second Amendment rights of law-abiding gun owners and raised concerns about major regulatory changes made by unelected federal officials rather than Congress.
I questioned ATF leadership about several recent rules, including regulations involving pistol braces, bump stocks, frames and receivers, and firearm businesses. I also pressed the agency on delays tied to suppressor and short barrel registration applications following recent congressional changes. Congressional oversight of federal agencies remains critical to protecting constitutional rights and ensuring accountability in Washington.
Trump is the disclosure president, and I look forward to continuing to work with his administration to push for the transparency and answers the American people deserve.

On Tuesday, I introduced the Make the American Dream Real Again Act to help more Americans achieve homeownership, as skyrocketing home prices and high interest rates have pushed the dream further out of reach. My bill would create a simple, market-driven incentive that allows a home seller to redirect the capital gains taxes owed on the sale of their home to help a first-time buyer cover a down payment or closing costs. In return, the seller would receive a tax credit equal to the amount contributed, reducing their tax burden while opening more homes to younger families and first-time buyers.

The Trump administration recently released the first wave of new Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP) files to the American people, marking a major step forward for transparency and government accountability. For years, Americans were told there was “nothing to see” regarding UAP. President Trump is proving otherwise.Trump is the disclosure president, and I look forward to continuing to work with his administration to push for the transparency and answers the American people deserve.
Hopefully he does a better job disclosing this than he did with the Epstein files
ReplyDeleteGun god and goobers. They are Gettin it Dun for Uhmerryca!
ReplyDeleteYo erick, may I remind you that the crazy, undisciplined spending you refer is all being overseen by your own magat party. I hope you look at yourself in the mirror and know you and the magat party are directly responsible for the destruction of our economy and the hopeless outlook kids of today have for this country. Because you can't stand up to trump and his impulsive spending (billions for a damn ballroom...really?) our economic outlook and standing in the world is sliding downhill rapidly.
Delete12:09PM - I would like just one DEMOCRAT to answer this question. Why weren't any Epstein Files Released under the Obama or Biden Administrations - NOT ONE PAPERCLIP FROM THEM IN 12-YEARS - NOT ONE!!!
ReplyDeleteIs it because these Files are full of Leading Democrats - President Clinton - who Epstein visited him in the Oval Office over 17-Times while he was in Office/President, or because Clinton' flew on his airplane over 25-Times, or that the HollyWeirds - went on Epstein's Plane and Visited his Island and are all Democratic Supporters. Or that Hillary Clinton Testified to a Congressional Committee that she never met Epstein - Even though he and Bill Clinton were buddies and that Epstein - Helped Fund the Clinton Foundation and the Clinton Global Initiative and Bill and Hillary Clinton invited Epstein's Girlfriend, Ghislaine Maxwel, to their Daughter's, Chelsea's Wedding - If you Democrats believe this BS - You probably already have purchased a piece of the Brooklyn Bridge. Democrats - Show some Intelligence for once - Stop being so Dumb!
12:09; it was wrong then and wrong now. The bigger problem, is why is Trump trying so hard to get everyone to look away from the Epstein issue? Why is he on record stating that releasing the files will hurt his friends?
DeleteThis is the type of issue that should be bringing people together, not pointing fingers at the 'enemy team'.
One wrongdoing does not forgive another. Everyone involved should be properly tried and punished.
Yo 4:06PM, let me educate you again.
ReplyDeleteThe new White House ballroom is primarily financed by a coalition of private donors and corporations, though there is a fierce ongoing debate over who should pay for the associated security enhancements. To track the corporations, individuals, and ongoing federal funding disputes, you can explore the following resources: Read the CBS News Coverage or Fortune Article for the full list of private donors and corporate contributors.
Private and Corporate Funding (The Ballroom itself)President Trump initially stated that the estimated $400 million ballroom project would be fully funded by private donors, with zero cost to taxpayers. The funds are channeled through the Trust for the National Mall. Notable private and corporate donors include: Tech Giants: Amazon, Apple, Google, Meta, and Microsoft. Corporations: Coinbase, Lockheed Martin, T-Mobile, and Caterpillar. Individuals: Executives and billionaires such as Stephen Schwarzman, Harold Hamm, and members of the Adelson Family Foundation. So, there won't be Fraud like every other Program that the Dems Push - like Snap, Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, Section-8, the Somalia's
and the Billions of other Dollars Lost because there is no oversight.
Dearest 547, Let me educate your feeble brainwashed magat truth: There is little to no oversight of trumps spending. Any desire he wants is rubber stamped by your magat party...the completely disasterous "big bogus bill", the 1.7 billion DOJ reimbursement account for goons,traitors, and seditionists, trillions for defense and goon (ice) funding. Your president and maga cult have set us on economic disaster and by association, an embarrassment to the entire world. Shall I continue 547? By the way, CBS news is now part of the Faux News rightwing nut ecosystem so don't be quoting that crap because your 547 thoughts cannot and will not be taken seriously. Hope you have an awesome day! One last thing, I would look forward to your explanation of how the trump family has fraudulently raked billions from under the table favors from other countries.
Delete"Washington" is not spending recklessly, it's all Trump.
ReplyDelete5:32AM, What a very noncreative and loose use of Demo Party Facts. OMG - if we just looked and catalogued everything the Clintons, Obama, Biden, and Harris did - it would be as atrocious and long as the U.S. federal tax code contains well over 74,000 pages. 5:32AM - You are the one of the Least Educated and Informed Commentors - I HAVE SEEN - -
ReplyDeleteObama - Gives IRAN - $1.7 + Billion Dollars on the Pinkey-Promise, not to develop Nuclear Bombs - PLEASE - GET REAL! Democratic President Jimmy Carter - Could not handle the Iranians while he was in Office - and it took Republican President Ronald Regain to Clean-Up the IRAN Mess after him, just the same it took Republican Donald Trump to Clean-Up the IRAN Mess after Obama and Biden, on SCREWED UP AGAIN!
Let's also look at the Clintons and their so-called Clinton Foundation and Clinton Initiative that took money from Foreign Communists both Russian and Chinese entities while Hillary was Secretary of State - Uranium One Connection: Investors and executives tied to Uranium One (a Canadian mining company acquired by the Russian state-owned firm Rosatom) made millions in donations to the Clinton Foundation. The chairman of the company donated $2.35 million. TALK ABOUT BEING PAID OFF - - -
Talking about CBS - Who was SUED AND FINED for trying to make Kamala Harris look Intelligent by letting her Re-Record Answer after Answer when they Interviewed her - BECAUSE SHE IS SO DUMB SHE COULD NOT ANSWER SIMPLE QUESTIONS - - IS THAT WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT - SO CBS IS NOW WORKING FOR THE REPUBLICANS BECAUSE THEY TRIED TO HELP ANOTHER DUMB DEMOCRAT???
THE BIDENS - ARE A BUNCH OF THEIFS - WHY DO YOU THINK BIDEN PARDONED HIS SON - HUNTER FOR TAX EVASION AND HE PARDONED EVERYONE ONE OF HIS SIBLINGS AND SPOUSES??????
According to investigations by the House Oversight Committee, the Biden family and their business associates received over $20 million from foreign nationals and companies in countries such as China, Russia, Ukraine, Kazakhstan, and Romania between 2014 and 2019. The funds were largely routed through a network of shell companies and associates to various family members.The committee's The Bidens' Influence Peddling Timeline and Oversight Committee Releases Biden Family Influence Peddling Timeline detail the specific channels and payments:China: Business associates received millions from CEFC China Energy, part of which was transferred to various Biden family accounts. Records show transactions from entities with ties to Chinese intelligence and the Chinese Communist Party.Ukraine: Hunter Biden and Devon Archer each received payments of roughly $1 million per year for serving on the board of directors of the Ukrainian energy company Burisma.Russia: Russian oligarch Yelena Baturina wired $3.5 million to an entity associated with Hunter Biden.Romania: The family received over a million dollars from a company controlled by Gabriel Popoviciu, a Romanian executive, through a Biden family
Hilarious PPPP, your rebuttal arguments have all the interest and usefulness of mold forming on on the north side of a vinyl sided house...boring, ugly, and useless. Your petre dish awaits.
Delete7:17 I am very curious. You only want to focus on Democrat crime. So is the problem when people you don't like break the law? Why are you not holding Republicans to the same standard?
Delete1:23PM - Hilarious is another DDDD, "Delusional Disgraceful Dumb Demoncrat", who cannot understand the Truth and Facts of his own Leftist Liberal Party - Which has Documented thoroughly about the Fraud, Schemes, and Scams of the Clintons, Obama, Biden, and Harris - By the way Kamala Harris needs you to contribute for her next Ice Cream Social they are giving her "cue cards", so she can figure out what Ice Cream Flavor to Order - Just ask CBS.
ReplyDeleteThe petre dish is waiting PPPP. 348 is more heinous mold spores to become seriously ill by. Do us all a favor and seek help for your Democratic Derangement Syndrome. Repeating the same ol' same ol' is hazardous to your plasma.
DeleteWhoever you are that says everything is hilarious. You need a thesaurus and a dictionary.
ReplyDeleteThey need to put the meth pipe down!
