  • The real lesson of Colbert and Kimmel

    Stephen Colbert and Jimmy Kimmel should have been canceled long ago. They have little interest in creating a comforting diversion for all Americans, which used to be the reason for late night television. Instead, their goals are to advance progressive causes and bash anyone who disagrees. In doing so, they long ago lost most conservatives, many centrists, and even sympathetic viewers who wanted relaxation, not divisive politics.
  • A sermon on Luke 17:11-19
    A life of thanksliving is based on faith in Jesus. Faith says that no matter how bad things get, God is still in charge. He watches over you with a loving care. Even Jesus, the Son of God, lived by faith in His Father.
  • Sen. Graham: Political weaponization of FBI ‘should bother everybody’
    Sen. Lindsey Graham says the discovery of he and seven other senators being surveilled by the FBI “is chilling.”
  • Senator Johnson praises override of property tax reform veto
    "I voted to overturn the governor's veto," said Senator Johnson. "This override is the first step toward returning property taxes to what they were meant to be. It is time to get this under control – to return to the taxation system to sanity.”
  • Privacy, Artificial Intelligence and Congress
    Many of my colleagues seem entirely unconcerned with the potential repercussions that could soon become reality. Failure to act is its own decision, but AI is moving far faster than Congress and momentum in the wrong direction makes change harder as time passes.  If we don’t act swiftly, our current understanding of what “privacy” means could become a relic.
  • Emails: Biden demanded CIA coverup of embarrassing Ukraine intelligence
    At the specific request of then-Vice President Joe Biden, the CIA buried an embarrassing intelligence report detailing the poor view the Ukrainian government took of his diplomatic efforts and the business dealings of his own family in that country.
  • Why is China funding the Russian war machine?
    China really needs Russia, and its new ally North Korea, to confront its great economic and political rival, the United States. In part America’s increasing isolationism, and trade war against China, exacerbates this divide.
  • On the Moraine Part XXXII
    Along about February 1965, Mother started getting sick. She wouldn’t tell John and me what was going on, but she called Dad in Troy, and he came home early. John and I knew it was very serious.
  • Bell Ringers
    I am so thankful for the creek valley life that Greg and I now share. My younger life was very different. I knew nothing about chore clothes, some of which are rather tattered (why put on a good shirt when it will just get ripped by wire fencing or torn by brambles?). In my younger days, I wore proper uniforms.
  • Rural Health Transformation Program is a tremendous opportunity for rural Ohio
    For too long, D.C. politicians have overlooked rural America. Rural health care providers depend on the Rural Health Transformation Program to address their unique needs, and it is disappointing to see Democrats demand its elimination and abandon the Americans they allegedly care about.
  • Peace on the line two years after Oct. 7 attacks
    As of Saturday evening, the president announced that Israel has agreed to an “initial withdrawal line” in Gaza. If agreed to by Hamas, Trump hopes it will lead to an immediate ceasefire followed by the exchange of hostages and Palestinian prisoners.
  • Bureaucrats being paid for multiple jobs, while doing neither
    Each of these demonstrates just how easy it can be for a public employee to pull down a pair of paychecks without earning either, sometimes for years. What’s even more infuriating is that the salaries of these side hustlers are being paid by hardworking Americans, millions of whom are actually working multiple jobs to make ends meet.
  • How to counterpunch the Democrats
    The Democrats have shut down the government because they’re putting illegal immigrants ahead of American citizens. Do not listen to Chuck Schumer or any of his allies in the corporate media when they spin about this critical point.
  • Unaccountable: The FBI’s strange refusal to fix key crime stat
    Three years ago, RealClearInvestigations reported that the FBI was undercounting the number of armed civilians who had thwarted active shooters by a factor of three. Even though the FBI acknowledged the issue at the time, it never corrected the error involving the politically fraught issue.
  • Frugality as a virtue
    Today’s Washington politicians seem to be in a contest to see how much of the taxpayers’ money they can shovel at the population. I assume the unspoken reason for this is to bribe the voters.  
  • Group: Proposed Ohio property tax fixes don’t go far enough
    Recommendations to ease property taxes across the state do not go far enough, a Columbus-based policy group says of Gov. Mike DeWine's working group.
