  • DOGE targets billions in waste identified by GAO

    The average American works too hard to see tax dollars wasted. My goal with this hearing is simple: to make sure the taxpayer’s money is spent wisely and to get more of it back into Americans’ pockets, where it belongs. 
  • Funding the priorities
    This budget resolution provides a framework to spend roughly $175 billion to finish the border wall and upgrade border technology. It envisions increasing the number of detention beds so dangerous criminals aren’t released into our country.
  • The uproar over DOGE request is hilarious
    "The vast majority of elected officials really have no idea," McGovern said. "They pass rules and regulations that sound good and are meant to serve a good purpose, but they rarely take into account the consequences of the regulations they pass or how they’ll impact how companies act."
  • DOGE to confront the DoD checkbook
    In the 34 years since the first required audit, DOD has lived down to the low expectations ascribed to government bureaucracies. Congress is now requiring the department to pass an audit by 2028.
  • Help! I’ve been tracked!
    The kerfuffle in the federal government ranks over Elon Musk asking you what you did last week has been laughable. The harrumphing around as if this is an indignity is hilarious. Basic truth: If someone is paying you, don’t they have a right to know if you did anything to deserve your pay?
  • A sermon on Luke 6:39-45
    Two virtues are necessary to help you maintain your heart's purity: Honesty and humility. They are the cornerstones of a pure heart.
  • A look at 'birthright citizenship'
    One or two precedents in one or two states in the decades between the founding and the Civil War is not enough to definitively prove much of anything. That is why the actual language that we the people approved when we ratified the 14th Amendment matters. It is not the last word on the subject, but the full first sentence of the 14th Amendment, read as a coherent sentence, is certainly worthy of more consideration than it has been given thus far.
  • Dan Bongino to join Patel at FBI as Deputy Director
    A top podcaster, former Fox News host, New York City Police Department officer, and 12-year veteran of the Secret Service, Bongino is a close friend of FBI Director Kash Patel and will now serve as his right-hand man at the FBI, Trump announced on Truth Social Sunday.
  • Here’s how DOGE is holding government accountable
    Led by Elon Musk, the agency has worked to uncover and eliminate waste, fraud and abuse across the federal government. And to no one’s surprise, DOGE has found a lot of waste, especially with programs that should have never existed.
  • The good, the bad, and the ugly
    The first day of spring is less than four weeks away. I smile. I might just be sad to see these winter days go.
  • Tax-cutting governors experience growth
    The success of West Virginia and others demonstrates that both economic and educational freedom are powerful drivers of growth – especially so when a state pursues both. Four of the ten states attracting the most people have no income tax, and another four have flat personal income taxes.
  • Populism: A sheep in wolf’s clothing
    If populism is earnestly compared and contrasted with democracy, then it immediately becomes evident that populism and democracy are actually overwhelmingly similar and happily share various foundational principles and values.
  • Chiang Kai-Shek and FDR: China's destiny
    Today, President Xi and his Communists, utilizing the generalissimo’s old claims and maps, continue to build on Chiang’s blueprint of imperial expansion at the expense of China’s neighbors. 
  • Ethics can’t be compartmentalized
    Musk is obviously brilliant. You don’t become the richest person in the world by being dumb. His company SpaceX has run circles around the publicly funded NASA. As far as stealing your data from Social Security, he points out he already had it when he was with PayPal.  
  • Voter rolls like they oughta be
    These rolls are bloated with ineligible voters, only periodically updated, and opaque to the public. What if our bank records were like that? How long would that last before we’d spill out into the streets? There’s one state official who’s trying to change that. He’s Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose, who announced recently he’d make available to the public daily snapshots of the voter rolls to keep up with additions and subtractions to the list. That’s a great reform.
  • Trump's tariffs: history has lessons to be followed
    Trump should use his tariff authority judiciously, including the use of exemptions to help American companies battle back and, ultimately, invest more in the U.S. and create new manufacturing career opportunities in the process. The same way the threat of tariffs gives the president leverage with world leaders; the use of targeted tariff exemptions can do the same to help American businesses grow strong again.
