Week In Review
Congress had one major item on the to-do list this week: fund the government.

But as a member – and now Chairman – of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, this department’s wasteful spending is something that I”ve been tracking for years. From expanding atheism in Nepal to an LGBTQ comic book in Peru, there’s no shortage of examples of idiotic grants and programs we can point to. Unfortunately, it seems like these types of initiatives are the rule – not the exception.
