  • Combating China's ownership of U.S. farmland

    We must counter Communist China’s aggressive and deceptive behavior. American farmland must not be a tool that Communist China can use as a strategic advantage.  
  • Civics revolution: Conservatives reviving traditional education with a modern twist
    In a typical multi-day Jack Miller Center seminar, each K-12 teacher is expected to read and discuss a curated anthology, spanning several hundred pages of primary sources. Curriculum development sessions help teachers apply the material in the classroom.
  • A new direction on improving forest health
    As FOFA and other active forest management reforms are considered as part of this much-needed debate in Congress, I will continue to work to ensure federal policy best enables the long-term health of public lands to help prevent wildfires and back those protecting our communities from wildfires.
  • Ohio GOP candidates hold the advantage in early 2026 polling
    A new poll conducted by Emerson College indicates Ohio’s Republican candidates have an advantage over their Democratic counterparts. There’s still a long way to go before next year’s primaries — much less the general election in November 2026. But the survey offers a baseline for voters’ preferences and engagement.
  • A sermon on Luke 14:7-14
    What respect God has for care givers. Jesus will seat you at a place of honor near Him in Heaven.
  • Driving vital progress to support veterans
    One thing all Americans can agree on is that those who have served our country in uniform deserve the best care and benefits we can provide in return for their sacrifice.
  • Fr. Mike Paraniuk is the Will Rogers of sweet spirit and truth
    I thoroughly enjoy Fr. Mike Paraniuk's column every time. I sometimes use it in my morning devotion time. (I am not Catholic – doesn't matter). He always tells a worthwhile story, and makes so much common sense with sweet eloquence. He is the Will Rogers of sweet spirit and truth.
  • Is it time to end mandated 'Majority-Minority' congressional districts?
    The most successful gerrymander in history may have been the combination of the 2020 census and the Obama and Biden administrations’ admission of tens of millions of illegal aliens. The U.S. Census Bureau acknowledges that in 2020 it overcounted in eight states and undercounted in six, costing Republicans an estimated six seats. 
  • On the Moraine, Part XXVI
    We farmed mostly with the Case that spring, but I would run the John Deere dragging after Dad had plowed. Dragging plowed ground is a rough ride. You know what I am talking about if you have ever done it.
  • Teaching Western political thought in Indonesia
    If shared study of the Western tradition can improve mutual understanding across oceans and civilizations, study of the Western tradition in America can contribute to healing the breach between right and left at the nation’s troubled colleges and universities. And it can enhance American diplomats’ grasp of their nation’s strengths and weaknesses as well as those of America’s friends and foes.
  • Mail-in voting: Trust the states to decide
    The surest way to strengthen our election process is to respect the Constitution, trust the states, and keep election administration where it belongs: in the hands of the people closest to the voters.
  • Ironweed
    The weather has finally cooled, and the sky has been gray for the last few days, rainless, but gray. 
  • Mail-in ballots need to go
    Concerns over absentee ballots used to unite both Democrats and Republicans. “Absentee ballots are the largest source of potential voter fraud.” That warning doesn’t come from Trump, but from the bipartisan 2005 Commission on Federal Election Reform, led by Democratic President Jimmy Carter and Republican Secretary of State James Baker III.
  • Cracker Barrel: Another failed narrative
    So, there is a lesson here for all of us. The way we see the world is not necessarily the way the majority sees the world. I am not saying we should change, but we should at least be aware of our surroundings. 
  • Newspaper publishes false energy, climate information; refuses to correct errors
    Articles addressing energy and climate topics in The New York Times (NYT) increasingly include inaccurate data and false information. The problem is compounded by the paper’s failure to follow its own corrections policy when errors are called to its attention. 
  • Husted leads Brown in first U.S. Senate poll for 2026 race
    More than a year before the 2026 general election, Sen. Jon Husted leads former Sen. Sherrod Brown in the race for the last two years of Vice President J.D. Vance’s U.S. Senate term, according to a new poll released Friday by Emerson College.
