Make federal architecture great again

Saturday, February 22, 2020 8:59 AM

The second best news out of Washington earlier this month was that the Trump administration is crafting an executive order to rewrite the General Services Administration’s architectural and design guidelines for federal buildings. The proposed rule, “Making Federal Buildings Beautiful Again,” would finally drain the Swamp of its embarrassing fetish for eyesores.

Religious freedoms under attack

Thursday, February 20, 2020 8:12 AM

Religious liberty is a protected constitutional right enshrined in the First Amendment. It serves as a shining beacon of freedom from sea to shining sea. America can leverage our leadership to spark religious freedom in regions of the world blanketed by discrimination and oppression.

Bloomberg to agricultural students like me: Don't bother

Wednesday, February 19, 2020 6:15 PM

Farming is certainly a technology job, requiring every bit as much "gray matter," as Bloomberg puts it, as other tech jobs. Belittling the next generation of agricultural workers should disqualify a candidate from public office. Any presidential hopeful should encourage students to pursue careers in agriculture – because the future of farming is bright in Ohio.

On the wings of words

Wednesday, February 19, 2020 2:25 PM

As I hung up the phone after talking to my unknown caller, it occurred to me that just as I have no idea of where my stories might land, our Nana and our father quite likely had no notion of the years and generations over which their stories would be shared. I may not know where my stories may touch down to pass the time, but I do know that I am proud to carry on the family tradition, and that I am ever so thankful to be able to share with each and every one of you.

The road to the Sesquicentennial: The Britton trial continues

Wednesday, February 19, 2020 8:37 AM

Ladies and gentlemen, on the long and winding road to the Brown-Roush Ohio Sesquicentennial Farm owned by my parents, Ken and Judy Roush of Highland County, we return to the summer of 1889 and Marion Britton is on trial for the fatal shooting of his brother-in-law, John C. Brown (1851-1888), my third great-uncle.

Returning to legislative business

Tuesday, February 18, 2020 10:07 AM

The average American is looking for results and asking how their elected officials are trying to help make their lives better and move our country forward. We need to put the political games and theater behind us and work together to achieve those goals.

A coyote ugly proposal from ODNR

Monday, February 17, 2020 12:15 PM

Giving a more protective status to a nuisance animal is most likely going to accomplish two things: A few more dollars in the ODNR coffers and a heckuva lot more of the protected nuisance animal.

Trump’s budget: More warfare, slightly less welfare

Monday, February 17, 2020 10:58 AM

Progressives are happy to support increased warfare spending as long as conservatives go along with increased welfare spending. Similarly, many conservatives are happy to support increased welfare spending as long as it means that progressives will vote for increased warfare spending. So, Congress is unlikely to approve any of President Trump’s spending cuts, but Congress will gleefully agree to all of his spending increases.
