  • America can’t secure its future on imported minerals

    If the past few years taught us anything, it’s that national security no longer stops at the water’s edge or the factory gate. It runs through the mines, mills, refineries, and logistics networks that supply the metals inside our jets, ships, satellites, power grid, and the next generation of energy technologies. 
  • A sermon on Matthew 4:12-23
    Jesus is the Light that reveals not only the Kingdom of God, but the values that God considers most important in His Kingdom.

  • Competition coming for the SAT, ACT, AP, and International Baccalaureate
    For far too long, K-12 education has been dominated by monopolies – the public education system, state standardized testing, the SAT and ACT college entrance exams, Advanced Placement, and the International Baccalaureate program. The result has been soaring educational costs, declining quality, and a lack of innovation, all to the detriment of students nationwide.
  • One year in, President Trump has restored biological truth
    More than anything, President Trump has restored common sense in government, especially when it comes to protecting women and children from harmful ideology.
  • Building our way out of our housing crisis
    Mamdani is duly elected, and it’s his prerogative to destroy the Big Apple’s housing supply as he sees fit. But it would be stupid for the federal government to continue sending housing development grants to the city while Mamdani and Weaver are steering the ship.
  • Somalia and the high cost of low trust
    The Minnesota scandal was not an aberration so much as a warning: When institutions assume trust without enforcing it, low-trust behavior fills the vacuum. Somalia shows what happens when that low-trust approach is entrenched.
  • Tippy, Chapter Three
    Jim put me in the old Corvair, and we headed down the lane. I could see Pete just standing there looking at me. I watched until I could see him no more. We turned left on state Route 506. We stopped at a stop sign in a small village and then went straight on. I was memorizing the route very carefully because a wild, audacious plan was forming in my mind.
  • Property tax relief
    The crux of matter remains: How to ensure adequate funding for local schools, fire, police, EMS, libraries and developmental disabilities, should Ohio’s property taxes be abolished.
  • It seems simple to this old farm boy
    It seems to me if you don’t want to get harmed out in the streets, the right idea is to stay home. Petition your federal or state representatives if you don’t like the laws as they stand. Or go to the media. The actions in Minneapolis remind me of the old films from Russia in 1917 and onward.
  • U-Haul’s election lesson
    The impact of losing friends and families — and their wealth — to other states should be the canary in coal mine for Pennsylvanians getting ready for another election year in 2026. We need to recognize that bad state-level policies are driving tax dollars and our neighbors to more friendly environments. In fact, the blue-to-red migration is profound across the country. 
  • Honoring the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
    Today, we pause as a nation to remember and honor the life and legacy of one of America’s most consequential civil rights leaders. A Baptist minister, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was a man of faith who fought for civil rights through nonviolent resistance.
  • Like clockwork
    My heart stood still. The 100-year-old green turret clock stood shoulder high amid hundreds of other smaller clocks inside Taylor's Fine Timepieces. I had no reason to fall instantly in love, other than that the clock's strong beat sounded like music to my ears.
  • Delivering wins
    Today, under President Trump, the border is now secure. Average daily encounters are down 95%. For seven consecutive months, U.S. Border Patrol released zero illegal aliens into our country. The difference at the border is night and day. President Biden said he needed new laws to secure the border. Turns out, all we needed was a new president.
  • Providing for our national defense
    At the Republican National Convention nearly 46 years ago, President Ronald Reagan reflected on the importance of providing for a strong U.S. military when he said, “We know only too well that war comes not when the forces of freedom are strong, but when they are weak. It is then that tyrants are tempted.”
  • Apparel maker not entitled to commercial activity tax refund
    The Supreme Court of Ohio today upheld the imposition of the Ohio commercial activity tax (CAT) on $108 million of merchandise shipped to DSW’s Columbus distribution center before items were sent to stores both in and out of Ohio.
