    Throughout my time in Congress, I’ve fought to champion policies that improve the lives of Missourians and Americans alike.
  • How to avoid the coming federal debt avalanche

  • Hillsboro city auditor outlines budget line item related to state grant
    As we work toward finalizing our budget for the upcoming year, it is important to acknowledge that, while the budget itself will be smaller compared to the previous year, our total expenses will appear significantly higher – by more than $5 million. This increase is primarily due to a state grant we are receiving, which requires us to account for the full value of the grant funds.
  • Dr. Jay Bhattacharya will rebuild trust in public health
    I know Dr. Bhattacharya well. I am confident that he will not only help us restore trust in public health as director of NIH but will demonstrate how the principle of subsidiarity can be help America rebuild trust in other areas of our democracy where it is deficient today.
  • The jokes are over
    We have become a land of excuses with an ever-smaller portion of the population carrying the load for all. This is going to stop one of three ways.
  • Do you dread Christmas?
    Many people find this particular holiday season to be full of heartache, or a nameless void. They can feel a myriad of unwelcome emotions that threaten to overwhelm and sink them into a black hole.

  • Nancy Pelosi profited as luxury Napa resort wWon COVID-19 bailout
    A RealClearInvestigations analysis found that Pelosi’s profits spiked from a variety of holdings that won significant government rescue funds – which amounted to $28 million, a total more than previously known.

  • What about consequences? Are Democrats immune?
    Every parent knows that the best way to maintain discipline is to mete out consequences for inappropriate behavior. Too bad Joe Biden never learned that lesson. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have given a blanket pardon to his son Hunter “for those offenses against the United States which he has committed or may have committed or taken part in during the period from January 1, 2014 through December 1, 2024.”
  • A sermon on Luke 1:39-45

  • Give me liberty, not pronouns
    If 100% of bisexuals, transgenders, and pansexuals used non-standard pronouns (they do not) and all are offended if the remaining 94.6% of us do not publicly proclaim our pronouns in our signature cards and profiles (also untrue), then the pronoun kerfuffle risks offending 5.4% of Americans. From 10 to 20 times more Americans are offended by this babble.

    Murder is never justified – or justifiable. The twisted response to Thompson’s assassination illuminates a deepening sickness across the country, a cauldron of cultural forces that threaten our body politic more than a single assassin’s bullets.
  • New Jersey lawmaker demands answers over unidentified drones
    How does Secretary Mayorkas who infamously told us for years that our southern border was secure and closed – when it was and is not – now insult our intelligence that "we haven’t seen anything unusual?" This is usual? 
  • Why it’s probably better to throw plastic in the trash
    While plastic and glass should probably be crushed and buried in a landfill, aluminum, tin, and paper – especially cardboard – should absolutely be recycled.
