  • New trends in Russo-Chinese relations
    China is opening its bond market to Russian energy companies, e.g., Gazprom. This report is noteworthy for several reasons going beyond Russo-Chinese relations. First, China has hitherto refused to provide this open access to its bond market lest Washington impose sanctions upon it. 
  • Ohio’s confidence in our elections is a model for the nation
    In Ohio, we’re setting an example for the rest of the country: safeguard the vote, keep it secure, and trust the process. If we can hold on to that, our democracy will be just fine.
  • American security systems are compromised by China
    Home and business security systems are supposed to keep Americans safe. Yet, very often our cameras, routers, drones, smart locks and more are compromised, opening the door to surveillance and security risks – often without consumers being any the wiser. 
  • A sermon on John 3:13-17
    Niall Harbison shares the story of how a broken little dog saved his life. In Ireland, he owned a successful media company that earned him lots of money. He would be considered a success.

  • On the Moraine, Part XXVIII
    One day in November, John and I were both home sick with colds. We were listening to “Everybody’s Farm” on WLW radio. NBC broke into the program to tell us President Kennedy had been shot. It was Nov. 23, 1963. We spent the rest of the day listening to the radio.
  • Charlotte murder exposes Democrat failures after career criminal freed by woke policies
    Despite that lengthy rap sheet, mental health issues, and forfeiting bonds on three occasions, a Democrat judge released him back on the streets following his most recent arrest in January — free to slaughter an innocent woman just months later.
  • Prayer works, according to science
    The role of prayer in civil society has emerged in the wake of the Annunciation Catholic School shooting, and this may be a blessing of sorts amid the tragedy. This is because scientific research has shown time and again that religious faith and the practice of prayer check pathologies and improve quality of life on almost every level. 
  • Tom Homan is the right man at the right time in U.S. history
    To his credit, former President Obama appointed Tom Homan as Immigration and Customs Enforcement's executive associate director of enforcement and removal operations in 2013.  Obama awarded Homan a Presidential Rank Award in 2015 as a Distinguished Executive.  Obama, by the way, not Trump, was dubbed the "deporter-in-chief." Why weren't Democrats crying and protesting then? Hello?
  • What to do
    My work day was done. It was time to try and clean the red paint from my hands. It looked as though I had managed to get more paint on my hands and clothes than on the tractor parts, but that was fine.
  • Confronting the electricity price shock
    The most disturbing thing about the nationwide rise in electricity prices is that the average consumer is footing the bill for the biggest power users – huge data centers for artificial intelligence. Electricity prices could jump 15% to 40% in just the next 5 years, according to a recent forecast. And prices have already begun to jump. Retail electric prices have increased faster than the rate of inflation since 2022 – rising 13%.

    Here we go again…Rasmussen is out with a survey whose results says 53% of likely U.S. voters ages 18 to 39 would like to see a democratic socialist candidate win the 2028 presidential election. Really?
  • Waste of the Day: 9/11 Memorial salaries approach $1 million
    Jim McCaffrey, a retired New York firefighter who lost his brother-in-law on 9/11, asked the New York Post, “How can you justify these salaries? It’s just another slap in the face of the families, more pain and grief to add to the heartache.”
  • 1918 redux?
    Despite the differences in politics and technology, the current war is clearly one of attrition; just like World War One. Two historical touchpoints stand out: the Russian approach to warfare, and the experience of the Western Front in the final year of World War One.
  • Rural Health Fund should prioritize preserving hospital care
    When Congress established a new Rural Health Transformation Program (RHTP) as part of its budget reconciliation package, the intent was clear: Stop rural hospitals from closing.
  • Parenting takes time and patience – lots of patience
    Sweet lovable babies will grow quickly into messy toddlers, who will become energetic kids, then mouthy teens, and finally independent young adults. But it does take time and patience. Lots of patience.
