  • First Communion Sermon

    Before my First Communion in 1957, I asked my parents if I could do something that surprised them. I wanted Mom and Dad to walk me to the Communion Rail, which was expected. But then I asked the unexpected. "Can I have Uncle Joe walk us, too?" 
  • The intifada comes to America; now what?
    Welcome to the global intifada, yet another disastrous result of the Biden administration’s porous border and feckless foreign policy.
  • Senate GOP must seize opportunity to expand Trump tax cuts
    While Senate Finance Committee Ranking Member Mike Crapo and some colleagues have raised objections about provisions of the bill that would expand the Child Tax Credit, Crapo and other GOP senators need to keep sight of the significance of this measure in a larger fight.

  • A beleaguered gentleman: House Speaker Mike Johnson
    “You assume risk when you take this job. We don’t back away from risk. I’m going to do the right thing,” Speaker Johnson says as storm clouds – literal ones, not just the political variety – roll in. Financing a land war wasn’t “some minor measure on tax policy. It instead has “implications for the entire world.” After all, the speaker continues, “What is popular isn’t always right; what’s right isn’t always popular.”
  • Border bill would keep invasion going
    The amendment would legalize border chaos by allowing up to 5,000 illegal entries per day, potentially 1.85 million illegal aliens annually, before border closure is required. The border closure guidelines are time-limited, however, and the untrustworthy Biden and Mayorkas have the discretion to determine how and when to use the authority provided. 
  • Bird words
    I have always loved birds. When I was a city child, pigeons were really the only birds I knew. I loved to watch them gather on the park paths, but mostly I remember how special it was to visit them at the rooftop home of the pigeon man.
  • A refusal to lead has emboldened our adversaries
    The world has exploited the Biden Administration’s weakness for over three years now. It’s time to draw a line in the sand and, if crossed, respond with the full force of the most powerful nation on earth.
  • The abuse continues
    It has gotten more sophisticated and more nuanced, but in today’s world, the abuse of women continues as it has forever in the past.
  • Five Pinocchios for Gavin Newsom
    Add California Governor Gavin Newsom’s name to the list of prominent elected officials who blatantly lied about their personal histories.
  • Lawmakers can help America’s restaurants feed economy
    The restaurant industry is the nation’s second-largest private employer – two out of three adults in this country have worked in it at some point in their lives. This includes many members of Congress, their families, and their constituents. There is a unifying power of America’s restaurants that calls for rare bipartisan action to enact policies that fuel our ability to serve and strengthen the nation’s economy.
  • Senate can stop expansion of government surveillance
    When the U.S. House passed the Reforming Intelligence and Securing America Act (RISAA), which reauthorizes the FISA Section 702 surveillance authority, it overlooked something big – an amendment that would drive the greatest expansion of government surveillance authority in recent history. The Senate has time to correct this and restore balance between the needs of national security and the safeguarding of Americans’ civil liberties.
  • The real impact of Biden's direct-flight parole on our city
    The Biden administration’s direct-flight parole-and-release program was created to mitigate the challenges of illegal border crossings by facilitating an alternative entry of ineligible individuals directly into the U.S. However, this initiative has effectively led to an open border policy, unleashing numerous challenges and hardships on communities throughout Florida.
  • The importance of pro-growth tax policy
    At the end of the day, the U.S. tax code should be written to benefit the American economy, families, workers, and small businesses, not hurt them. However, in recent years, it has not felt this way, as Americans are being crushed by high interest rates, skyrocketing inflation, and lower real wages.
  • Biden must not encourage illegal mass migration from Haiti
    Since President Biden took office, more than eight million people have crossed our insecure southern border, and 90,000 have immigrated from Afghanistan un-vetted. The resultant threats to our national security—from the rise of Tren de Aragua to the infiltration of Islamist terrorists—are severe and out of control. The tragedy in Haiti is great, but it’s no excuse for letting these threats increase.
  • Impeachment ‘whistleblower’ was in the loop of Biden-Ukraine affairs
    The "whistleblower" who sparked Donald Trump’s first impeachment was deeply involved in the political maneuverings behind Biden-family business schemes in Ukraine that Trump wanted probed, newly obtained emails from former Vice President Joe Biden’s office reveal.
