Jacques, I. (2025, March 6).

03/03/2025: DEMOCRATS IN THE SENATE VOTE AGAINST KEEPING BIOLOGICAL MALES
OUT OF WOMEN'S SPORTS!!!

Despite the bill having PASSED in the HOUSE, and public opinion overwhelmingly in support of the measure,
DEMOCRATS in the Senate (including Mark Warner and TIm Kaine) voted "NO" and
BLOCKED a bill that would have PREVENTED BIOLOGICAL MALES from competing in WOMEN'S SPORTS
from reaching the floor of the SENATE.

Senators Mark Warner and Tim Kaine voted to BLOCK a bill that would have PREVENTED biological males from participating in women’s sports from reaching the Senate Floor!

"After watching the President’s speech to Congress and seeing the results of the legislation regarding biological boys participating in biological girls sports, with both our US Senators voting against this legislation, I wonder if we should take a moment to highlight that story.

"As a parent of a girl, who played high school basketball and volleyball, I find it extremely disturbing that our US Senators voted against this bill. Not only does permitting this activity make the playing field uneven and unfair, but it increases the risk of injury for young girls, and it damages the self confidence of these young girls.

"Title IX was supposed to bring girl athletes in line with boy athletes.

"Those a few of my thoughts on this topic. And I believe more should be said about people who seem to me to be trying to put obstacles in the path of young girls’ development and success.

"Thanks.

-- Tim Carter,
Shenandoah County Sheriff

"In his 1994 book The Death of Common Sense, Philip K. Howard explores how regulations have become so complex and far-reaching that they now impact nearly every aspect of business and citizens’ lives. Howard highlights the rigidity of these regulations, which make it nearly impossible to account for individual circumstances or outliers. He also provides examples of how bureaucratic overreach has led to our bloated, expensive, and ineffective government.

"After learning about how bureaucrats – rather than elected officials – have chosen to spend taxpayer money, I can’t help but wonder: what has stopped us from heeding the wise warnings shared in this book?

Ben Cline for U.S. Congress - Sixth District

"Since this Administration took office, 378 individuals on the terrorist watchlist have been caught attempting to enter our country illegally. Just as concerning, there have been over 2 million known gotaways who have successfully evaded Border Patrol that we know nothing about. We must take decisive action to protect our communities, especially women and children. House Republicans are committed to fighting for strong immigration laws that uphold our values: protecting Americans and deporting criminals." -- Congressman Ben Cline

Want to know what's going on in Congress? Congressman Ben Cline gives us answers! Read his latest, bi-weekly newsletter, "Sixth District Perspectives with Congressman Ben Cline."

03/04/2025: In his latest "Sixth District Perspectives with Congressman Ben Cline" newsletter, Ben writes, "It was a busy and productive week in Washington as House Republicans advanced a budget resolution to help deliver on President Trump’s America First agenda and put our country back on the right track. I also stood alongside my DOGE Caucus colleagues to highlight our work to root out wasteful government spending and hold Washington accountable. Additionally, the House passed legislation that pushes back against yet another Biden Administration regulation that dictates which appliances Americans can have in their homes. As always, it was great to meet with several great organizations working to preserve the beauty and history of Virginia’s Sixth District. Rest assured, I’ll continue fighting for the folks in our part of Virginia.

Taking The First Step Toward Restoring Fiscal Sanity

Last week, House Republicans passed a budget resolution that lays the foundation to advance President Trump’s America First agenda and get our country back on the right fiscal track. The budget resolution is simply the first step in what’s known as the reconciliation process, which allows Congress to move forward with a comprehensive bill that meets specific fiscal goals. In short, the resolution serves as a blueprint that directs House and Senate committees to craft legislation that delivers real results for the American people, results that cut wasteful spending, protect taxpayer dollars, and restore fiscal responsibility. It was not a vote on an actual budget, and it does not contain line-by-line spending items or cuts to specific programs.

This framework helps cut taxes for hardworking families and small businesses, support law enforcement at our southern border, bolster our military, unleash American energy dominance, and right-size Washington’s wasteful, oversized bureaucracy. It’s all part of keeping our promise to put America First and get government working for the people.

President Trump asked for a comprehensive bill to deliver the full America First agenda, and House\ Republicans are doing our job to make that a reality. I urge my colleagues in the Senate to adopt this budget blueprint so we can move forward with the reconciliation process and pass a budget that puts families, small businesses, and American values first. I joined Mornings with Maria on Fox Business to discuss the passage of the House budget resolution and other important issues facing our Nation. Watch the full interview below.

Fighting Waste, Fraud, and Abuse in Washington

Reckless government spending has fueled inflation, wasted taxpayer dollars, and left families and small businesses footing the bill. That’s why I’m working to restore fiscal responsibility and ensure your hardearned money is spent wisely. As a member of the DOGE Caucus, I’m working with this Administration and my colleagues to hold Washington accountable and cut waste, fraud, and abuse in government programs. Last week, I stood with several of my DOGE Caucus colleagues to highlight our strong commitment to tackling Washington’s spending problem and making sure taxpayer dollars are spent responsibly.

One way to cut waste in a federal program is through my bill, the No Welfare for the Wealthy Act, which I recently reintroduced. This commonsense legislation closes a loophole that has allowed millionaires to exploit SNAP benefits, a program meant to help those truly in need. Right now, the broad-based categorical eligibility loophole allows states to bypass income and asset checks, costing taxpayers $11 billion a year. That’s money coming straight out of your pockets. My bill ensures these benefits go to those who actually qualify, not those who seek to take advantage of the system. Rest assured, I’ll keep fighting to rein in waste, protect your tax dollars, and demand fiscal responsibility in Washington. Watch my remarks from the DOGE Press Conference here.

Required Reading: "A Republic if You Can Keep It"
... by James R. Poplar III

Philadelphia, 1787 a woman approached Benjamin Franklin and asked him, “well, Doctor, what do we have, a Republic or a Monarchy?” Franklin replied sagely, “a Republic if you can keep it.”

Fast forward to the height of the Cold War, political theorist and former FBI employee Cleon Skousen authored “The Naked Communist” which outlined a concerted effort to overcome and control all of the world's governments through the implementation of social progressivism. Although I generally do not subscribe to conspiracy theories, let’s take a look at what the author predicted sixty- five years ago, I think you will be amazed. Read on...

So, exactly what does it mean to be a Republican? What are the Republican party’s core values and beliefs? What do Republicans vote “for” (and not simply “against”) when they cast a ballot, and why should you consider voting Republican in the next election?

Here are six great reasons to vote Republican as outlined in the following article: Why Vote Republican? Six Great Reasons Why You Should Vote Republican in the Next Election! … by Ros Poplar of the Shenandoah County Republican Committee (SCRC) Visit shenandoahrepublican.com/why-vote-republican.html
