    It’s time to make our party their party

    My middle-class Catholic parents and their neighbors were not exactly the backbone of the GOP back in 1984. My parents remained registered Democrats. My father died in 1989 as a Democrat. My mother wouldn’t formally switch to the GOP until the 1990s. Their resistance to registering as Republicans had less to do with policy differences than with a sense that they just weren’t Republicans. They didn’t fit in; they felt unwelcome.

    Eventually, everyone wakes up to reality
    It is encouraging to see Democrat mayors and their erstwhile supporters beginning to wake up. Sanctuary cities were never the friend of the legitimate U.S. residents living there. They are nothing more than feigned wokeness to play to a political base.

    The Secret Service also is mum on the issue – and under suspicious circumstances. Text messages belonging to at least two dozen officials and agents from Jan. 5 and 6 were deleted at the end of January 2021 and never recovered.

    'I yam what I yam'
    Remember the old TV cartoon “Popeye the Sailor Man?” He had a favorite saying: “I yam what I yam and dat’s all I yam.” And poor old Olive Oyl could never get him to see himself any other way.

    The historic crisis at our border is raging on, with each new day bringing thousands of illegal immigrants and deadly drugs into our communities. This crisis did not happen by accident.

    For electricity, Americans deserve more choices
    The U.S. power system is built upon century-old energy infrastructure, leaving it perennially dependent on an outdated system of subsidies and monopolies. The long-standing utility monopoly model is a relic from a time when it was deemed a social good to have one entity control the generation and distribution of power.

    Reflecting on 'the sanctity of lives of tiny humans'
    As another election approaches, I am still trying to get over the disappointment of the previous election and the passing of Issue 1. Left-wing organizations spent over $77 million to persuade voters to pass it. But I was naive enough to think Ohioans would value human life so much that the issue would fail.

    The revelation that the U.S. intelligence community, under the Obama administration, sought the assistance of the “Five Eyes” intelligence alliance to surveil Donald Trump’s associates before the 2016 election is a chilling reminder of the lengths to which the Deep State will go to protect its interests and challenge its adversaries.

    Trump keeps Biden in the race
    Trump may end up winning, but he appears unable to put Biden away – now or for the remainder of the campaign. Biden, therefore, has reason to stay in and Democrats reasons to stick with him.

    The general election begins
    In the first five primary contests, President Trump has won 110 delegates and Haley has won 20. Importantly, these were her best states. If she can’t beat Trump in Iowa, New Hampshire, or South Carolina, she can’t beat him anywhere.

    A sermon on John 2: 13-25
    One of my favorite movies is "Oh, God" from 1977. God appears as a kindly old man (played by George Burns) to an assistant grocery store manager named Jerry Landers (played by John Denver).
