It seems that the older I get, the more dissatisfied people become. I am talking about as a whole – people worldwide.

Today, I ordered – online – a copy of Terence Moore's new book, "My Big Red Machine: The Tales, Drama, And Revelations Of A Fan Turned Journalist Covering Baseball's Greatest Team." Ostensibly, this was – and still is – to be a Christmas present for my 89-year-old father-in-law, Jim Graham. Of course, it is also my plan to quickly read Mr. Moore's book before it is gift-wrapped.

Congress appears interested in determining how Wray’s FBI came up empty-handed. A House Judiciary Committee spokesman told RCI “everything is on the table” in terms of getting answers from the former director about the pipe bomb investigation.

David McCullough made a profound difference that week and over his 89 years. One of the bits of advice McCullough shared with us at Hillsdale, and that I’ll never forget, is advice that was handed down to him from Thornton Wilder when he taught at Yale: if there is something you want to read, and it isn’t written, go out and write it.

Ohio Democrats have made significant gains in 2026 races for governor and U.S. Senate, according to a new poll released Thursday by Emerson College.

Jesus dedicated His life to carry you through anything that hurts you. Dedicate your life to Jesus by helping another who hurts.

Socialist schemes interrupt this process. They focus entirely on demand — who gets what — while ignoring supply: who makes it, and why they would bother. When prices are fixed, you can no longer tell which ideas are working. Which leads to more failure. And eventually, bread lines.

Newbie NFL football player Desmond Watson, just out of college and weighing in at a hefty 464 pounds, needed to lose weight in order to get off the bench. After a dramatic loss of 35 pounds of flab, he was asked how he had managed to reach that goal.

Fun with cows. Over the years, as our herd grew, cows became quite a busy activity. We had a large pasture, and the way it was positioned, the cattle could actually not be seen, depending on where they were.  

Chief Research Advisor Dr. Sean Stevens at the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression told The Center Square that Charlie Kirk’s September assassination at Utah Valley University “has had a chilling effect — not just at UVU, but across the country.”

China remains the most active and persistent cyber threat to American institutions. Just last year, a Chinese government-backed hacking group infiltrated U.S. telecom providers.

I got out of bed and looked out the window at the whiteness beyond. It had gathered overnight, piling up on the tree branches and covering the ground. No blades of green were anywhere to be seen.

The Fed is widely expected to cut again in December, though a follow-up move in January is far from guaranteed. November labor-market data – whenever they finally arrive – will be crucial in determining whether this is a one-and-done insurance cut or the start of a more extended easing cycle.

If there is anything we are short on these days, it is Biblical study. No one is shooting boats out of the water that are attempting to deliver more Bibles to the United States.

Higher education provides more stories that deserve public attention than Aesop had fables. But like Aesop’s accounts of loquacious animals, the incidents on campus often have a pungent moral. I have written from time to time about a small act of thievery at a rural college in Vermont. The college is Middlebury, and the peculiar theft was the name of a building.
