We're having a red takeover of this week's newsletter in honor of the Georgia Bulldog's National Championship win! 

On this day, in the year of our Lord 2022, we lay to rest an agenda so perilous, even the Democrat party couldn’t rally behind it.

Biden’s agenda did not go quickly. Suffering from chronic inflation, job losses, and supply chain issues, the agenda truly began to fall apart after August’s botched Afghanistan withdrawal.

Around the same time, we learned that illegal border crossings would top 2 million in 2021. With them came enough fentanyl to kill every American seven times over, enabling Georgia’s unprecedented spike in opioid-related deaths. 

In December, as the symptoms of economic disaster ravaged what was left of the economy, the Administration’s marquee Build Back Broke plan failed in the Senate.

Many thought this would be the final nail in the coffin of the Administration’s socialist overhaul, but they were wrong.

After a year of failed attempts to pass their radical federal election scheme, Biden once again descended on Atlanta to push for his anti-voter rights legislation. Doing so would require a rule change in the Senate, one many Democrats (including Joe Biden himself) have gone on the record as opposing.

But when the chips are down, they’ll do whatever it takes to survive.

Unfortunately, that plan would end almost as soon as it began. Two key Democrat Senators openly opposed this plan, thwarting any attempts to change election rules that would have kept Democrats in power indefinitely.

This was a hard pill for the Biden Administration to swallow, but it was the Supreme Court that delivered the fatal blow.

In a much-anticipated decision, the Supreme Court ruled that Biden’s federal vaccine mandate for private employers was unconstitutional. Thousands of Americans are no longer at-risk of losing their jobs due to Biden’s crusade to shut down our constitutional rights.

While the Courts appear to have a blind spot for federally-funded health care workers, this decision still constitutes a win for the American people because it denied the federal government the power to act as judge, jury, and executioner of our private medical decisions.

Biden’s agenda was interred with a 33% approval rating. It is survived by several disappointed socialists, a 7% inflation rate, and proof that government functions best when it is limited.

In this week's edition of Buddy's Briefings, we're celebrating another championship win for the great State of Georgia! Unfortunately, the Biden Administration's crises didn't take a week off to celebrate. 

Tuesday, January 11th: Sometimes you just have to take a chance, and this was one of those times. I ordered a red blazer last week and had it sent to Washington, D.C. in hopes of wearing it today to celebrate my beloved Georgia Bulldogs winning the NCAA National Football Championship. As fate would have it, I’m proudly wearing it today and the accolades from everyone (minus a few sour Alabama fans) is overwhelming.

Having very little sleep last night and doing an interview on Fox and Friends this morning at 4:30 a.m. before leaving Indianapolis, I arrive back at the Capitol around 8 a.m. As I don the aforementioned red blazer in our weekly GOP Conference meeting this morning, it is a tremendous hit with the exception of one pitiful member from Illinois who says I look like Captain Kangaroo.

Next, I head to the House Chamber where I pay tribute to the National Champions as well as wish a Happy 100^th Birthday to Georgia Bulldog football legend Charlie Trippi and congratulate the Benedictine Cadets on winning the Georgia State Class 4-A football championship.

After arriving back to my office, I join in on our all staff conference call and later head back to the House Chamber for our first and only vote series of the day. During a break in the vote series, I am able to settle a friendly bet with my good friend, Rep. Jerry Carl (R-AL), as I allow him to wear my official game day Georgia Bulldog jacket for a picture with me.

After votes, I remain in the House Chamber where I pay tribute to newly appointed U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Georgia, David Estes.

Next, I join in on a Values Action Team (VAT) Coalition virtual meeting and later host a Georgia Republican delegation virtual press conference with press from around the state to discuss today’s visit to Georgia by President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris.

Afterwards, I have a phone interview with WSB Radio in Atlanta to discuss the visit and the prospects of the filibuster being changed in the Senate in order to pass the Democrats election power grab.

Thursday, January 13th: After a meeting off of Capitol Hill, I head to the House Chamber where I pay tribute to long time Effingham County Recreational Director Clarence Morgan who recently passed.

Next, I head to our weekly E&C member meeting before heading back to the House Chamber for our only vote series of the day.

Afterwards, I head to the airport for my return trip home still flying high from the DAWGS’ National Championship win.

Friday, January 14th: After attending our weekly Band of Brothers bible study in Garden City, I head to our Savannah District office where I have a phone interview with the Georgia Pharmacists Association (GPhA) for a story on advocacy in their monthly magazine.

Next, I join in on our all staff conference call before meeting with members of the Savannah Navy League Commission to discuss the upcoming commissioning of the PCU SAVANNAH LCS during the first week of February. The Savannah Navy League is a non-profit, all volunteer, U.S. civilian organization that supports local sea services such as the U.S. Navy, U.S. Coast Guard, U.S. Marine Corps, and U.S. Flag Merchant Marine.

After a meeting with a constituent to discuss the events at the U. S. Capitol on January 6^th, I have a meeting with another constituent who is a retired U.S. Marine and has taken advantage of the Veterans Administration (VA) program for veterans to go back to school. As a result of this program, this Veteran has recently earned his Master’s degree in engineering at the age of 68.

Next, I have a phone call with a constituent to discuss transportation issues in Effingham County before meeting with Master Chief Petty Officer Eric D. Risner, officer-in-charge of Coast Guard Station Tybee for an update on the Tybee Station facility.

My last stop of the week is in downtown Savannah at the Coastal Empire Habitat for Humanity as I meet with CEO Zerik Samples to learn more about the fine work this great organization is doing in our community.
