  • The story of the stone
    There is a large flat stone in the side yard of a small home in Georgetown, Ohio. The stone is estimated to weigh about two tons. Georgetown, according to the last census, has a population of about 4,500. It is a small town by any standards, and has always been a small town, but within its borders lies this very large stone.
  • Quintuple fatal in Virginia renews focus on English language in CDL licensures
    “It’s unacceptable. If you’re tired, or you don’t have the proper person behind the wheel, get out of the business or just don’t be behind the wheel of a vehicle. People’s lives are at stake.”
  • The physics of politics
    As conservatives seek to counter the hard-left turn taken by the Democratic Party, it will not be enough to simply point out the grim failures of Marxist-inspired philosophies everywhere they have been tried. If the soul-crushing and deadly record of Soviet and Chinese communism, of Castro’s regime in Cuba, and Chavismo in Venezuela, haven’t convinced true believers that ideology belongs in the ash heap of history by now, it probably won’t happen anytime soon.
  • The Virginia Supreme Court chose principle over politics
    The rules for governance are meant to be steady. They were designed to outlast any one campaign, any one governor, any one majority. In a 4–3 decision over a hotly contested redistricting amendment, the Supreme Court of Virginia proved that point.
  • Why do we keep wasting money on ‘renewable’ technologies that will soon be outdated?
    If Congress won’t act on ARC-ES, President Trump should enact it through an executive order. Americans deserve to know that their tax dollars are not wasted on solar-capture technologies that are practically obsolete before the sun comes up.

  • A resting place for an American hero
    A little over a month ago, Hot Springs, Ark. was privileged to welcome home the remains of World War II veteran, U.S. Army Air Force Staff Sgt. Russell O. Chitwood.

  • U.S. must press U.K. to keep military base out of China hands
    America can defend our interests on Diego Garcia today because the Chagos Islands are British territory. The leftists at the United Nations, however, want to change that. They unleashed a pressure campaign to shame the U.K. for maintaining any territory outside of Europe.
  • The last flight of Jesse Brown: The measure of an American hero
    Jesse Brown attended Ohio State University before entering the Navy’s flight training program. The environment he entered remained overwhelmingly white, and not everyone there welcomed him. But naval aviation had a way of stripping away illusion. A pilot either knew how to fly or he did not. Brown did. In 1948, Jesse Brown earned his Wings of Gold, becoming the first African American naval aviator in the history of the United States Navy.

  • Dressed to kill: Women of the Left and the cult of violence worship
    Karl Marx wrote that history arrives the first time as tragedy and the second as farce. Berlin in 1932 was the tragedy. Three women in heels doing a hip-thrust for the cameras on a courthouse step, badges on their chests, cheering a man who shot a father of two in the back, is the farce.
