Over the past 20 years, the FBI has shifted away from being a predominant law-enforcement agency, resulting in the centralization of power in Washington.

A nation without a secure border can never be safe or fully sovereign. It's time to secure the border to preserve our nation.
Wildfires and invasive species like the bark beetle have devastated forests throughout the West. The nexus of this crises? Overregulation by federal agencies and activist policies that PREVENT sound forest management practices.
