The Fed is widely expected to cut again in December, though a follow-up move in January is far from guaranteed. November labor-market data – whenever they finally arrive – will be crucial in determining whether this is a one-and-done insurance cut or the start of a more extended easing cycle.

If there is anything we are short on these days, it is Biblical study. No one is shooting boats out of the water that are attempting to deliver more Bibles to the United States.

Higher education provides more stories that deserve public attention than Aesop had fables. But like Aesop’s accounts of loquacious animals, the incidents on campus often have a pungent moral. I have written from time to time about a small act of thievery at a rural college in Vermont. The college is Middlebury, and the peculiar theft was the name of a building. 

In a major breakthrough in one of the FBI’s most high-profile unsolved cases, the FBI Thursday arrested Brian Cole Jr., 30, in his family’s Woodbridge, Va., home and accused him of placing pipe bombs outside the Republican and Democratic Party headquarters in Washington, D.C., the day of the U.S. Capitol riot.

Small businesses are vital to our nation’s future. When they flourish, we all reap the benefits, and I will continue advancing the priorities that make their success possible.

Unlawful crossings of the U.S.-Mexico border this year have dropped to the lowest levels since the early 1970s. In June alone, Border Patrol recorded just over 6,000 apprehensions at the southwest border for the entire month with ZERO released into the interior of the United States. Under the Biden Administration, the southern border would see more crossings in a single day.

Journalists remind the public, often at great personal risk, that truth is messy and theory must bow to evidence. Their gift is not perfection but rather curiosity, adaptability, and the humility to revise when the facts change

Education Secretary Linda McMahon is doing exactly what President Donald J. Trump hired her to do: Clean out a failed education bureaucracy, return power to states and parents, and put students – not Washington politics – first. That’s why Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) is attacking her.

“Health care is a very complex issue. And I want to point this out, it is not the Republicans who broke American health care,” Rep. Johnson told reporters. “The Democrats broke health care when they created the unaffordable care act 15 years ago."

The UN COP30 failure was so spectacular that even the mainstream media could not paper over it. POLITICO cited a European government official asking: ‘What the (heck) are we even doing here?’ A great question indeed.

I have no evidence, but I’m convinced people have argued since the beginning of time. Adam and Eve probably disagreed daily about chores or responsibilities – and there wasn’t anyone else around to take sides.

Jesus is saying "Instead of offering sacrifices to me, I want you to be merciful to others. I didn't come to invite good people to be my followers. I came to invite sinners." I love this Bible verse so much I want it to be etched on my tombstone.

No doubt, I have written this before. I'm sure I've told it before. But around 20 years ago, I started calling Bill Fawley "the fourth commissioner," because so many newly elected commissioners were constantly seeking his advice on certain issues or policies. Needless to say, the "fourth commissioner" – and his institutional knowledge – will be missed by all.

To Bill’s family, I can only say that I am so deeply sorry for your loss. But selfishly, I’m also grateful that you shared him with all of us who had the honor of knowing and working with him. Thank you.

A not-so-glowing attribute of American democracy is the ability of voters to act shocked and blame whoever is in charge when things don’t go well. So, it makes twisted sense that, as 2026 approaches, the Trump administration should pay the political price for bad energy policies inherited from the Biden administration and Democratic governors.
