Today, Speaker Kevin McCarthy (CA-20) announced H.R. 1 for the 118th Congress, the Lower Energy Costs Act. This legislation focuses on two main priorities: increasing the production and export of American energy and reducing the regulatory burdens that make it harder to build American infrastructure and grow our economy. This legislation is being introduced by Majority Leader Steve Scalise (LA-01).
Historically, H.R. 1 through H.R. 10 have signaled a Speaker’s legislative priorities to improve the lives of the American people, making the Lower Energy Costs Act all the more significant.
Speaker McCarthy released the following statement on H.R. 1:
“The Biden administration has kneecapped American energy production, and endlessly delayed critical infrastructure projects. Democrats’ misguided policies increased costs for every American and jeopardized our national security – and they’ve made the rest of the world more reliant on dirtier energy from Russia and China.
“To lower costs for Americans and grow our economy, we need to get the federal government out of the way. The Lower Energy Costs Act will fast-track American energy production, and includes comprehensive permitting reforms that will speed construction for everything from pipelines to transmission to water infrastructure. And it ensures that the critical minerals needed for advanced technologies come from America – not China.
“This bill will be critical to growing our economy, lifting communities out of energy poverty, and ensuring American leadership long into the future.”
Background:
H.R. 1 will include legislation led by 26 individual Members and produced by the Committees on Energy and Commerce, Natural Resources, and Transportation and Infrastructure.
Policies that will be included in the energy package can be broken down into several broad categories:
Increasing American Energy Production
Increasing the Production and Processing of Critical Minerals
Gaetz RIPS Dems for Expanding DOJ’s Ability to Target Americans

If my colleagues on the Left are so worried about domestic terrorism, maybe they ought to be establishing new authorities at the FBI and DOJ to look into the BLM Riots of 2020.
My concern is increasingly about the terrorists who are in our country who are crossing the border illegally.
Democrats are more concerned about chasing the ghosts of white supremacy than dealing with real threats.
The whole world is watching as this approaching train wreck is gaining steam. It would be funny and very entertaining to watch if the future of our country was not at stake ! Nancy
The US political administration is starting to become the “Weekend at Bidens”, starring the “barely cogent” Joe Biden, according to Sky News host Cory Bernardi.
“You may recall that film (Weekend at Bernie’s) involved a couple of losers pretending their dead boss was actually still alive so they could enjoy his beach house and his extravagant lifestyle for a weekend,” Mr Bernardi said.
“Now we have ‘Weekend at Bidens’, it’s the reality show where the Democrats put up a barely cogent candidate for President just so they could enjoy the spoils of office for four years”.
“It features an all-star cast of the politically semi-lucid, headlined by Joe Biden himself.”
Mr Bernardi said the plot is “pretty simple”: a “trio of near octogenarians” seize control of the most powerful nation in the world while “not having any idea what they are doing”.
My faith in Newsmax has been damaged. Mike Lindell was trying to discuss the Dominion voting machines and the anchor on Newsmax shut him down. We have all heard and seen numerous technical experts explain how the Dominion voting machines were manipulated to give Biden more votes by taking votes away from Trump. This issue is not dead regardless of what Newsmax says. A lot of money must be behind this refusal to even discuss the possibility of voter fraud by Dominion. If you watched Tucker tonight, he said the biggest threat we face comes from Big Tech and the money and influence they wield. Nancy
Bill Clinton was the tightest president since Thomas Jefferson when it came to granting convicts pardons and prison sentence commutations. But all that changed when his wife, Hillary Rodham Clinton, decided to run for the Senate in 2000 and needed all the help she could get.
According to new details about the Clinton-era “Pardongate,” the last of several scandals that plagued the administration and further sullied the former president’s reputation as he left office, the Democrat pushed for so many pardons to help his wife and cronies that lawyers running the eleventh-hour operation resorted to internet searches to determine the “fitness” of applicants.
He told Secrets that 50 of Clinton’s eventual 457 clemency approvals directly aided allies of Hillary Clinton, including many that helped in her 2000 New York Senate victory that paved the way for her two failed presidential campaigns.
“It was Hillary Rodham Clinton who was the key influence behind the worst of the worst pardons and commutations that disgraced the office of the president, undermined the legal system and demonstrated that justice could be sold,” Hyman wrote in his Post Hill Press book, out later this month.
So many of you have shared this C-span video of Bill Clinton speaking on immigration from 1995. How ironic that this is the same message being repeated by President Trump yet you would think by the way the Left is reacting, that President Trump’s position is completely unacceptable.
PRESIDENT BILL CLINTON SPEAKING ON IMMIGRATION IN 1995.
This is a “must read” article as there is information about the Clintons and their involvement in the Globalism movement in this article that you will not read in other articles.
Spy Scandals, Globalism and the Betrayal of America

Our top educators like to think that worthwhile social movements only come from the left, such as Occupy Wall Street and Black Lives Matter. But the movement backing Donald J. Trump for president rejects most of what the left is preaching. These people see America losing its greatness, unique identity and national sovereignty. Hillary Clinton uses the campaign slogan “Stronger Together,” which has a patriotic appeal. But she also termed half of Trump’s supporters “deplorable” and “irredeemable.” She prefers the artificial George Soros-funded “social movements” that back her campaign.
By any objective measure, it can be argued that the stench of globalism is starting to affect everything, even perceptions of our founding documents. It may also invite foreign penetration into the highest levels of our government.
Visitors to Independence Hall in Philadelphia are surprised to learn that the site of the adoption of our Declaration of Independence is now a World Heritage Site designated by the United Nations. A big plaque with the designation faces you after you get a lecture from the U.S. Park Service and prepare to enter the historic building. Referring to the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of the United States, the United Nations declares, “The universal principles of freedom and democracy set forth in these documents are of fundamental importance to American history and have also had a profound impact on law-makers around the world.” These are nice thoughts. But the U.N. is hardly a tribute to freedom and democracy. Ordinary patriotic Americans don’t like the idea of the corrupt United Nations claiming some form of jurisdiction over Independence Hall.
What’s more, visitors to the Liberty Bell see a big picture of Nelson Mandela raising a clenched fist salute. The Mandela quotation that the Liberty Bell is “a very significant symbol for the entire democratic world” is featured next to the photograph. These, too, are nice thoughts. But while Mandela presided over a democratic transition that turned the whites out of power in South Africa, revelations after his death proved that he was a secret member of the South African Communist Party. He had concealed his true motives and allegiances from those who elected him. South Africa is a member of the Russian orbit of nations, known as BRICS, and some of the remaining whites are fleeing.
The “Citizenship in the World” merit badge is now required for the highest rank in Scouting, Eagle Scout, with one of the requirements being, “Explain what citizenship in the world means to you and what you think it takes to be a good world citizen.”
Just 5.7 percent of the Clinton Foundation’s massive 2014 budget actually went to charitable grants, according to the tax-exempt organization’s IRS filings. The rest went to salaries and employee benefits, fundraising and “other expenses.”
The Clinton Foundation spent a hair under $91.3 million in 2014, the organization’sIRS filings show. But less than $5.2 million of that went to charitable grants.
That number pales in comparison to the $34.8 million the foundation spent on salaries, compensation and employee benefits.
Another $50.4 million was marked as “other expenses,” while the remaining almost $851K was marked as “professional fundraising expenses.”
Despite taking in an additional $30 million in 2014, the Clinton Foundation spent 40 percent less on charitable grants in 2014 than in 2013. Even as it slashed charitable spending, the foundation increased the amount spent on salaries, employee benefits and compensation by $5 million in 2014. The foundation also spent $5 million more “other expenses” in 2014.
Sean Davis atThe Federalistnotes, “the bulk of the charitable work lauded by the Clinton Foundation’s boosters — the distribution of drugs to impoverished people in developing countries — is no longer even performed by the Clinton Foundation. Those activities were spunoff in 2010and are now managed by the Clinton Health Access Initiative, a completely separate non-profit organization.”(RELATED: Clinton Foundation Deceived IRS On Tax Exemption From The Start)
As first reported by The Daily Caller, the IRS launched an investigation into the Clinton Foundation this past July after 64 House Republicans called the foundation a “lawless ‘pay-to-play’ enterprise that has been operating under a cloak of philanthropy for years and should be investigated” in a letter to the IRS, FBI and Federal Trade Commission (FTC).
Clinton Cash, is a feature documentary based on the Peter Schweizer book that the New York Times hailed as “The most anticipated and feared book of a presidential cycle.”
Clinton Cash investigates how Bill and Hillary Clinton went from being “dead broke” after leaving the White House to amassing a net worth of over $150 million, with over $2 billion in donations to their foundation. This wealth was accumulated during Mrs. Clinton’s tenure as US Secretary of State through lucrative speaking fees and contracts paid for by foreign companies and Clinton Foundation donors
