  • Opportunity knocks during April 8 eclipse

    A total solar eclipse occurs when the moon passes between the sun and earth, completely blocking the face of the sun and causing the sky to darken as if at dawn or dusk. If the weather cooperates, the so-called path of totality set to blanket communities located in the center of the moon’s shadow will create a memorable spectacle that leaves little daylight visible for several minutes in the early afternoon.
  • New details of Afghanistan chaos: ‘Let me be clear; I cannot call evacuation a success’
    New testimony from those who witnessed firsthand the confusion and chaos of the Afghanistan withdrawal further contradicts President Biden’s assertion that the hurried and violent end to the longest war in American history was an “extraordinary success.”
  • Compassionately communicating life
    Simply put, the America First Conservative policies are proven to be successful – and represent the best hope for a healthy, happy and prosperous life for Americans who are born and unborn. This is the fight, and if we’re going to win hearts and minds, we can’t be afraid to enter the ring.
  • The impending solvency of Social Security
    The true cause of our growing national debt is non-discretionary, or mandatory spending, programs. As a matter of fact, over the next 30 years, Social Security faces a $19 trillion deficit and Medicare faces a $44 trillion deficit. If we are truly going to produce a balanced budget, which we should be striving to do, we need to be having serious discussions about these entitlement programs, which make up approximately 60 percent of all spending.
  • Give homegrown Iowa biofuels the green light
    To put it simply, folks, when the rubber meets the road, Biden’s EV fantasy just doesn’t work. Luckily, there is a clear off-ramp to escape this road to nowhere: homegrown Iowa biofuels.
  • Grace in all of its ways
    I think of grace in all of its ways. There is the grace of the cattle as they live in our pasture and bring me joy. Perhaps I should call one Grace, as I have come to know that they really are graceful creatures, but no, I'd better not.
  • Congress needs to clean up the Supreme Court's mess on patents
    The Supreme Court is unwisely undermining America's global economic leadership. For over a decade, the nation's highest court has sowed doubt about whether inventions in certain high-tech industries – ranging from medical diagnostics to finance – are eligible for patent protections. Without that certainty, investors naturally assume the worst and avoid those sectors.
  • Georgia’s GOP Gov. Kemp and state Legislature aiding, abetting illegal immigration
    The irony is that, with Georgia’s state officials’ blessing, taxpayers fund programs that prepare illegal immigrants for good, white-collar jobs even though hiring, aiding and abetting illegal immigrants which the programs do is a federal crime.
  • Unity or division?
    Is the fate of democracy and freedom in America in jeopardy? Is the decline and demise of America inevitable? These questions contain words, or dangers, few are willing to acknowledge. They are ominous words or thoughts in their rhetoric; they are more so in their possible reality.
  • Tackling the difficult but urgent task of depolarizing America
    “We are not trying to make everyone a moderate,” said Jessie Mannisto, Braver Angels’ director of debates. “We want to take the emotion out of politics – what we call affective polarization – while we address the difficult questions that are facing us as a society so we can function as a single country.”
  • Treasurer Sprague recognizes April as ABLE to Save Month, announces new incentive 
    April is ABLE to Save Month, and Ohio Treasurer Robert Sprague is using the occasion to tout the life-changing benefits of opening and maintaining a STABLE account. ABLE to Save Month is a national campaign that shines a light on ABLE programs across the country and how they enhance financial independence for people living with disabilities.  
  • Enjoying Dave Sanderson's 'Moments Matter'  
    After a week at The HCP SCC (Southern Command Center) with family and friends, I'd like to say it's great to be back. I'd also like to say that it's great that I didn't have a winning ticket in last week's billion-dollar lottery. Right.
  • DNC will find migrant overrun Chicago inhospitable
    Before getting too giddy about Chicago as an ideal city to tout his party’s “historic progress” on “building an economy,” Biden would gain insight from listening to what black Democrats think about the illegal alien invasion that has devastated working-class citizens’ lives.
  • Wishing all a blessed and very happy Easter
    Mathew 28:6: “He is not here; he has risen, just as he said. Come and see the place where he lay.” Easter is upon us. Easter marks the most sacred time of the year for Christians, a time we take for self-reflection, devotion and dedication to our faith.
  • Congressman Dr. Wenstrup quick to respond to traffic accident
    I'm a volunteer firefighter with Paint Creek EMS/Fire District. I recognized Rep. Wenstrup as the "doctor on scene," as was described by the HCSO dispatch office. It is so warming and proud for me to have a U.S. representative who takes initiative and feels obligated to help and serve others in need. 
  • Washington denies a bedrock of warfighting
    The Biden administration recently pressed Ukraine to halt attacks on Russian oil refineries. Ukrainian strikes on refineries and tankers in the Black Sea have contributed to a rise in the global oil price, and specifically of oil products, especially diesel. Almost the last thing the Biden administration wants in an election year is higher fuel prices and associated inflation in other goods and services.
