  • It’s time for FDIC Chair Gruenberg to resign

    According to employees who spoke with the Wall Street Journal, the FDIC functioned as a real-life Faber College where excessive drinking, public urination and sexual harassment were common but professional consequences for this bad behavior were rare.
  • Backlash erupts over Colorado court kicking Trump off 2024 ballot
    “The Colorado Supreme Court’s decision to disqualify President Trump from the 2024 ballot is an abuse of power and an attempt to silence the voice of millions of voters,” Rep. Diana Harshbarger, R-Tenn., wrote on X.
  • Bean soup – a Senate tradition with Idaho connections
    As I walk the halls of the U.S. Senate feeling very blessed to get to represent the great people of Idaho in this extraordinary seat of freedom, hope and decorum, I take great pride in the bit of Idaho sustenance being served up daily in our Capitol as it fuels needed discussions about how best to govern our great country. 
  • The imperative of a robust national defense
    From wavering commitments to our allies in the face of emerging threats to questionable strategic decisions that have undermined our international standing, President Biden’s missteps have eroded the confidence of our partners and emboldened our enemies. 
  • Ode to an old dog
    We know that you know that things just aren't quite the same anymore, but we also know that you know that we love you. You know that we will always stay close by your side, just as you have stayed by ours all these years.
  • Biden’s polling numbers continue to tank: Three reasons he’s losing support
    No matter which way you slice it, Biden’s policies have harmed Americans since he’s taken office. If we want a thriving economy, unleashed American energy, and secured borders, Biden is absolutely not the man to vote for come November 2024, and his abysmal polling numbers show it. 
  • Yes, talking heads, we ARE paying attention
    Sorry, Democrats. Sorry, Joe Biden. Sorry, congressional dead weights of both parties. Sorry, elites and talking heads. We have been paying attention, and we are coming for you. You can’t hide behind your fake narrative any longer. The truth has set us free.
  • A Christmas story
    Christmas is just not a date on the calendar, but a way of life. The comedian Bob Hope once said, “My idea of Christmas is very simple: loving others. Come to think of it, why do we have to wait for Christmas to do that?”
  • Protecting Ohio from fentanyl trafficking
    One of the best ways we can support Ohio law enforcement is to stop fentanyl at its source, before it enters the country and before it reaches our communities.
  • The Boston Tea Party at 250
    On this anniversary of the Tea Party, as we begin the 250th celebration of the American Revolution, we ought to begin, once again, to think seriously about what it means to live in a democratic republic, and how we might sustain it for another 250 years.
  • First State Bank partners with Bright Local Schools
    I am writing to express our sincere gratitude to First State Bank for their incredibly generous donation in support of the digital sign project at Whiteoak Junior High/High School. 
  • Standing up against the EV revolution
    In yet another attack on consumer rights, the Biden Administration’s Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) proposed an aggressive de facto mandate for two-thirds of all new vehicles to be electric in less than 10 years. This ban on the sale of gasoline-powered cars and the mandate for the sale of EVs is just another part of Biden’s radical Green New Deal agenda.
  • No more tax dollars for corrupt climate groups
    I’m happy to say Sen. Eric Schmitt introduced a companion to my bill in the U.S. Senate. As elected representatives, we owe the American people sound decision-making, especially when it comes to spending. There should be a reasonable return on investment, whether it’s supporting our farmers or protecting our allies.
  • Gov. Ron DeSantis takes inspiration from Calvin Coolidge
    Calvin Coolidge was not an ideologue, but rather believed in a conservative philosophy. In other words, he did not worship at the altar of free markets. Coolidge understood that it was important to place the good of the nation above ideology. Today’s Republican Party can learn a lesson from Coolidge.
  • The death of DEI
    DEI, we hardly knew ye. DEI is one of the fastest liberal concepts to come and go in nearly the same breath. Living in the bucolic lands of Highland County, you may never have had to encounter DEI. Lucky you.
  • 'It ain't the dying that's scary ... it's the killing'
    Standing on the cliff at Pointe du Hoc 60 years after D-Day, I encountered a German tourist at the same spot. He stepped aside in deference to me, an obvious American, and instructed his family to do the same.
