Too many Missouri families have felt the heartache of the loss of a loved one or friend to opioid addiction. The epidemic has ravaged homes and small communities and left children without parents and parents without their children. There are many things we need to do from furthering tightening the flow of goods across our borders to continuing to give law enforcement at the borders and in our towns the resources they need to fight this outbreak of opioid abuse in the U.S. One area I have focused on is where most patients are first exposed to opioids and the setting where they are often left with unused medications, surgery. I recently authored and had President Trump sign into law the Perioperative Reduction of Opioids (PRO) Act which will reduce patients exposure to unnecessary opioids post surgery, look at alternative forms of rehabilitation, and give patients and information they need on how to safely dispose of leftover opioids when they are no longer needed. We have a long way to go in this fight, but I am hopeful my legislation can be one small step towards getting our county on the winning side of this battle.

Beto O’Rourke can couch his views in emotional rhetoric all he wants, but confiscation is confiscation, and the Constitutionality of the 2nd amend is more powerful in this country than even a presidential wannabee.

Joe Biden complimented Vermont when he was actually in New Hampshire. He tells a story about visiting Afghanistan whose details never actually happened. Biden’s mistakes, gaffes, or whatever you want to call them make one thing clear – he should not be leading this country.
We all remember where we stood the moment we first heard the news. The gravity of 9/11 is forever with us. Let us pause & reflect to remember the thousands who lost their lives & honor those who risked everything to save fellow Americans they had never met.
Since Speaker Pelosi took control, the federal gov has generated a 20% higher deficit. The gov spent $120 billion more than it earned in July alone, yet Dems propose massive spending increases ceaselessly. It’s our grandkids who will have to pay this off. https://t.co/0f8EWJY4XP
