Statement on 2022 Winter Olympics

I normally watch the Olympics religiously every two years. I enjoy seeing the best of mankind competing against one another for a medal and to be crowned the best in the world.

This year, however, I will not be watching any part of the Olympics. I refuse to give the communist government of China an audience while they continue to engage in genocide of ethnic minorities and threatening the sovereignty of Taiwan.

The Chinese Communist Party is hellbent on doing everything possible to suppress information that damages their creditability on the world stage. Instead of standing on the side of human rights, they choose to actively and systematically engage in human rights abuses.

I wish Team USA all the best in the Winter Olympics and good luck to all the athletes who have worked their whole lives for this moment.

Statement on SCOTUS Striking Down Biden Vaccine Mandate

Today’s ruling by the Supreme Court is a victory for individual rights and a bulwark against an overreaching Biden Administration. I am pro-vaccine and believe that the vaccines are one of the greatest modern medical miracles. However, forcing people to vaccinate against their will is government tyranny over individual choice and free will.

Statement on Tornado Outbreak in the Midwest

Seeing the images out of Kentucky and other tornado ravaged states from this weekend is heartbreaking. My thoughts and prayers are with all those affected by this tragedy. Hearing the stories of everyday people coming to the rescue of their neighbors and strangers in the aftermath is inspiring. America is full of individuals who, when put in a perilous situation, become heroes. This weekend reminded us of this fact. Nowhere else on Earth are more heroes forged than in America. It’s a uniquely American tradition.
