We are facing a national emergency of fraud in federal programs that is impacting all Americans. According to the Government Accountability Office, the federal government is estimated to lose between $233 million and $521 billion annually to fraud across all federal programs and operations. 

The question facing America is not whether we should become stronger. We should. The question is whether we can rebuild our industrial strength, secure our supply chains, and restore economic independence without creating a permanent system of subsidies, bureaucracy, and special interests along the way. That is the test.

Greg has kept the clock running for these past 20 years. By my calculations, Greg has lovingly wound the clock for over 400 weeks. As for me, I have been the lucky lady who basks in the time that my father created and that husband now carefully tends. I am fortunate indeed.

To my fellow American men, be proactive. Let this Men’s Health Month serve as a reminder to get your screenings, schedule your checkups, and make your health a priority in your life.

Paul Dane, chairman of Vermont's Republican Party, said Sanders is out of touch with ordinary state citizens. "There's an incredible disconnect between the average working Vermonter, who would never dream of being on a private jet – let alone making it through the Burlington airport without a hassle – and Senator Sanders flying around the country on private planes," Dane told The Center Square in an interview.

On June 6, 1944, the land, air and sea forces of the Allied stormed the beaches of Normandy to dislodge German troops from the French coast and ultimately liberate western Europe. D-Day marked the beginning of the end of World War II. But it almost didn’t happen.

For all those at HDH and Bethesda North who took great care of me, I am truly appreciative. Many thanks, also, for the prayers sent my way by Fr. Mike Paraniuk and many others. And to Mike Gruber, like my son-in-law, Stephen Forsha, four years ago, you most likely saved my life.

“The data clearly show that concealed carry permit holders are among the safest and most responsible users of firearms,” David Mustard, a distinguished professor at the University of Georgia who researches extensively on crime, told RCI. Bradford County Sheriff Gordon Smith confirmed that this is his experience with Constitutional Carry: “The data is clear: The vast majority of concealed carriers are among our most responsible residents, not the problem.”

Learn before it happens to you. Heed the warnings your body and your emotions are sending you.

The American Dream does not promise that every citizen will become wealthy. It promises only that every citizen has the freedom to try. The moment we abandon that principle – the moment we divide Americans permanently into oppressors and victims, exploiters and exploited – we cease to be a republic of citizens and become a nation of competing grievances.

When "Kim" by Rudyard Kipling was published in 1901, it described a shadow contest between the British and Russian empires across Central Asia. The geography of that struggle has shifted, but its logic has not. Today, the Great Game runs through Iran and the Strait of Hormuz — and the risk is not that the United States misunderstands Iran’s capabilities, but that it misunderstands the game itself.

Electricity is not a luxury; it is a necessity. Smart legislation should replace dumb legislation based on a horribly flawed vision of the 21st century. It’s time for state legislators to step up and do what Congress has failed to do: pass affordable, reliable, and clean energy legislation. 

The contest for the Americas will be decided in part by which story the region’s publics find believable. China has heavily invested and is buying volume—placement, subscribers, infrastructure that doubles as advertising—but it is not buying trust. The United States holds the higher value asset: credibility rooted in a free press and an open society.

I was underwater and gasping for air. I had been asleep on the banks of the Miami River and must have rolled over into the water. Unfortunately, at that point a boat came close and pushed me underwater. Not only did I need air, but I also need to avoid the boat’s propeller.  

God offers Holy Communion to spiritually strengthen His children on the difficult journey to Heaven. The greatest joy of my life has been to serve the Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity of Jesus for 45 years.
