Aug 1, 2019

WASHINGTON – Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) issued the following statement Thursday after the Senate Judiciary Committee passed the Secure and Protect Act of 2019. “Everyone now admits there is a humanitarian crisis at our southern border.

If We Can’t Control Spending Now, When Can We?

Jul 27, 2019

There is a quote that’s long been attributed to St. Augustine, who during his conversion to Christianity famously uttered a prayer asking “Lord, help me be chaste, but not yet.” The idea behind this as old as human nature itself: it’s easier to have the thought of doing something later than to do that thing now, especially when it’s something difficult.
