One of my favorite Jimmy Buffett quotes is “If there’s a heaven for me, I’m sure it has a beach attached.” And now it has a new leader of the band. For the rest of us, his music and stories live on.

U.S. Senator Katie Britt (R-Ala.) recently joined Senator Tim Scott (R-S.C.), ranking member of the Senate Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs, and 24 of her Republican colleagues in demanding answers from the Biden Administration regarding the approximately $6 billion of ransom money reportedly released to Iran in exchange for American prisoners.

The Rivada system is gateway-less. Instead of beaming your communications straight back to a ground station, the whole constellation is interconnected with optical laser links. That means that if there’s a satellite above, you can get connected.

Republicans on the House Oversight Committee have requested that the National Archives turn over all documents and flight manifests regarding trips that Hunter Biden took on Air Force Two, as well as Marine Two, during his father’s time as vice president. It is the latest in the ongoing probe of how the younger Biden made millions of dollars overseas and whether his father, the current president, improperly benefited from those dealings.

Bribery, money laundering, obstruction of justice, tax evasion and more. Of course, the Democratic Party and their allies in the mainstream media tell a different story. To get a sense of the beatification of Biden, I turned to the new voice of liberalism, ChatGPT, to compare the fictional Frank Underwood and our real-life president.

Welcome to the Censorship Industrial Complex. It’s rather like the old “military industrial complex,” which was shorthand for the military, private companies, and academia working together to achieve U.S. battlefield dominance, with the R&D funded by the government that buys the final product.

Enacting more price controls – before the first ones have even taken effect – would do far more harm than good to American patients and the future of medicine.

Technology is method without meaning, process without purpose. The technologist will ultimately lose to the ideologues, the anarchists. I think you see this most clearly in the elite universities. Look at any liberal arts program and ask what is the basis for objective truth – the professor will laugh in your face.

Political weaponization of the law by the DOJ and prosecutors is exactly what blind lady justice should avoid. Such a path opens a pandora’s box of “what’s next.” Donald Trump is appreciated by some and despised by others, but in his case, the motive of the “D.C. Swamp” is to neutralize his presidential candidacy.

There are a number of days in August that are important in military history and recognize the service and sacrifice of our heroes in uniform – from remembrances of V-J Day and recognition of Purple Heart recipients, to learning about the role of Navajo Code Talkers.

Any candidate who compares the near-loss of his cat and his Corvette in a kitchen flare-up nearly two decades ago to 115 Lahaina dead, including infants and more than 388 unaccounted for two weeks after the Maui fires, is not a guy Democrats should consider endorsing again.

We were chatting about the life and times of the Rev. Joseph McDowell Mathews, a pioneer of education in Highland County in the 1800s. The good Reverend founded the Oakland Female Seminary in Hillsborough in 1839 and was a stalwart in education for the next couple of decades. He left Oakland to take a position as president of the Hillsborough Female College. He spent roughly four years as the college’s president, but he wasn’t seeing the success he’d seen at Oakland. 

The Biden administration is fraying relations with some allies and generating pushback from Congress by spending millions of taxpayer dollars to promote the woke ideology abroad that has stirred controversy at home since President Biden took office.  

Something happened to me last week that I never experienced before. I couldn't even find the words to describe the experience until I accidentally found an article on the internet that explained what happened to me. 

In my view, no reasonable person can read the transcript of the Oppenheimer security hearing without concluding that Oppenheimer was a Communist despite his denials. The movie ignores the scope of Dr. Oppenheimer’s involvement with numerous Communist front groups.
