Highland County was my parents’ escape from a world that had rejected them and where they didn’t want to be. And you know what, I am glad they made this decision. I am thankful for my farm years in Highland County.

HUD, like other agencies responsible for spending taxpayer money, is required to estimate improper payments and post the results. Auditing themselves in such a way is a sign that at least the agencies are following the money, even if a portion of it is lost to waste or crime. Most agencies are able to complete the task, but not HUD, which blames the failures on various snafus, both human and technological.

The Trump-appointed inspector general for the Department of Homeland Security has already opened two investigations into the U.S. Secret Service, which is under the purview of the DHS, related to the agency’s handling of the July 13 shooting. But some Republicans are concerned because, they say, Joseph Cuffari has been stonewalled by Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas.

Faith is believing Jesus wants you. He desires you. Jesus gave up everything to possess you. He gave up Heaven. He gave up the glory of His Divinity. He gave up His life. God has worked so hard to win you back. Now you must work to accept His love. 

Steve Faris is a professional magician whose credits include state fairs and trade shows throughout the United States, seven seasons at theme parks, including King’s Island, luxury cruise ships, and an opening act for a vast variety of performers including comedians Steve Martin and Martin Mull, and musicians Earl Scruggs, Ramsey Lewis, Santana and Ricky Nelson.

Fortunately, after years of confusion and uncertainty, the Supreme Court overruled Chevron, restoring integrity, transparency and constitutional adherence to the federal judiciary.

It’s important to note that the Court ruled not on Constitutional grounds but on an issue of standing. The justices found that Schmitt and the plaintiffs could not prove direct harm as grounds to sue. In other words, the government won on a technicality.

For sailors, fire is an absolute nightmare. Engulfing ships and choking out the light and air, it has the power to take away everything a sailor needs to survive. Even if the crew manages to put out the flames, the fire may still take the ship, leaving the sailor at the mercy of the sea. The 57th anniversary of the USS Forrestal fire, one of the worst in American naval history, is July 29, 2024.

This year we celebrate the 80th anniversary of the Servicemen's Readjustment Act of 1944, more commonly known as the GI Bill. This landmark legislation created a pathway for returning troops to further their education, buy homes and launch businesses.

In years past, the Democrats would have held a fair and open selection process for their candidate. This year, however, seeing Biden's waning support and inability to rally the party, they pushed him aside, thrusting Kamala Harris into the spotlight – down-balloting the ticket.

In the immediate aftermath the tragedy in Butler County, Pa., two things were certain. First, conspiracies would immediately be created to garner attention and clicks. And second, politicians and activists would use the situation to advance their agendas – even if the facts didn’t support what they were trying to sell.

Now, as to Gourdzilla's name, it is true that gourds and squash are both fruits in the Cucurbitaceae family, though they are typically grown and used for different purposes. Squash are eaten, while gourds are made into utensils or decorations. To my thinking, however, Squashzilla does not have quite the same ring to it as Gourdzilla, and so Gourdzilla shall remain the name of the most amazing squash vine I have ever had the pleasure to encounter.

The environmental movement is at odds with itself. The movement’s full-throated embrace of so-called “green energy,” successfully amplified by unprecedented government mandates and subsidies, is leading to habitat-invading and beauty-destroying energy projects at scales that not only rankle onlookers but also those environmentalists still committed to stewardship and conservation—and would shock the founders of the preservation movement.

Whether it is Sy Hersh or some young gun of journalism ready to make his or her name, someone needs to tell the truth about the 10 days that shook the nation, from the moment Trump took a would-be assassin’s bullet on July 13 to the afternoon Biden inexplicably dropped his reelection bid and Kamala Harris was coronated. And the first question that needs to be answered, and which no one in the mainstream media is asking, is “Who convinced Joe Biden that debating Trump on June 27, nearly two months before the Democratic convention, was a good idea?”

Gasoline is about $3.50 per gallon today. In 54 years, if you experience the same inflation, it will be $28.34 per gallon. Of course, some of the powers that be want you to be in an electric car or have all cars banned by then. I saw a new Camaro advertised online for $41,370. Well, that will cost you $344,985.05 54 years hence.
