  • Things we won’t miss from the Biden DoD

    The weakness we’ve projected abroad hasn’t gone unnoticed at home. Recruitment is at an all-time low. Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) programs have been institutionalized in the force. Promotions seem to be based on the service member’s commitment to woke priorities rather than merit.
  • The right to life is timeless
    As a member of the Congressional Pro-Life Caucus, I have consistently defended the right to life at the federal level. While the 14th Amendment to the Constitution has guaranteed legal protection for innocent human beings since its enshrinement in 1868, much work remains to be done to align public policy with this fundamental human right.
  • American greatness
    In a world that is constantly evolving, one thing will always remain true: America is the greatest country on this earth. 
  • Public health: A lesson for future crises
    Among the voices challenging the prevailing narratives, Dr. Jay Bhattacharya of Stanford University and Dr. Marty Makary of Johns Hopkins University have been particularly prominent. Their critiques of lockdowns, concerns about scientific integrity, and opposition to censorship have resonated with many who value individual liberties and transparent governance.
  • Federal freeze could disrupt Ohio budget process, jeopardize critical programs; Ohio lawmakers should protect Ohioans and demand clarity from administration
    This disruption could not have come at a worse time for Ohioans. The governor is expected to release his budget proposal next week. This freeze injects an unprecedented level of uncertainty into the already complex process and jeopardizes programs everyday Ohioans depend on — not in some abstract future, but today.
  • The U.S. needs a strategic shift in South Asia
    For too long, the U.S. has hoped that sustained engagement would convince Pakistan to modify its behavior. That hope has been unsubstantiated. Washington should focus its diplomacy and limited financial resources on other South Asian nations, where it can expect some return.
  • The curious letter K
    The letter K has always jolted me. It seems out of place compared to the other letters in the alphabet. 
  • Working for Americans as chairman of the Senate Finance Committee
    I am honored to serve as the chairman of the Senate Finance Committee in the 119th Congress and to use this position to advance the nation's interests in federal legislation under the Committee’s jurisdiction.  
  • Taking action to reverse immigration failures and protect communities
    One of the mandates voters gave the new administration and Republican-controlled Congress is to end the scenes of bedlam at the border and protect communities from the dangers unlawful mass migration invites.
  • Environmental activists serve China’s energy agenda
    The evidence of Beijing's strategic manipulation of American environmental groups has been mounting for years, but recent investigations have exposed the actual depth of these connections.
  • Ice is everywhere
    The driveway that leads up the hill from the lower fields to the cabin is definitely in cahoots with the pathways. It has turned into more of an ice way that a driveway. The ice is easily several inches thick.
  • Fiscal sanity isn’t too much to hope for this year, is it?
    The Paycheck Protection Program, intended to help small businesses survive the pandemic, has been labeled “the biggest fraud in a generation” by Matthew Schneider, a former U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Michigan. The loans weren’t awarded based on financial need, and in the end were simply forgiven.
  • Inaugurating America’s new golden age
    January 20, 2025 was a momentous day for America. The theme of the 60th Presidential Inauguration was “Our Enduring Democracy.” And this Inauguration was a reminder that because of our American Constitution, our nation will surely endure.
  • President Trump is going to do what he said he would
    I had to laugh at an article in the Wall Street Journal a couple of days ago. Its theme, but not its title, was the same as mine above. Of course, President Trump is going to do what he said he would, that is why we voted for him.
  • Congress should unwind Biden’s disastrous energy policies to restore the American economy
    If congressional Republicans intend to deliver on our promises of a booming economy and stable prices, we’d be wise to unwind quickly the disastrous energy policies that the Biden-Harris regime imposed on one of America’s most essential industries.
  • Protecting the meaning and value of U.S. citizenship
    The Fourteenth Amendment has never been interpreted to extend citizenship universally to everyone born within the United States.  The Fourteenth Amendment has always excluded from birthright citizenship persons who were born in the United States but not “subject to the jurisdiction thereof.”
