Political weaponization of the law by the DOJ and prosecutors is exactly what blind lady justice should avoid. Such a path opens a pandora’s box of “what’s next.” Donald Trump is appreciated by some and despised by others, but in his case, the motive of the “D.C. Swamp” is to neutralize his presidential candidacy.

There are a number of days in August that are important in military history and recognize the service and sacrifice of our heroes in uniform – from remembrances of V-J Day and recognition of Purple Heart recipients, to learning about the role of Navajo Code Talkers.

Any candidate who compares the near-loss of his cat and his Corvette in a kitchen flare-up nearly two decades ago to 115 Lahaina dead, including infants and more than 388 unaccounted for two weeks after the Maui fires, is not a guy Democrats should consider endorsing again.

We were chatting about the life and times of the Rev. Joseph McDowell Mathews, a pioneer of education in Highland County in the 1800s. The good Reverend founded the Oakland Female Seminary in Hillsborough in 1839 and was a stalwart in education for the next couple of decades. He left Oakland to take a position as president of the Hillsborough Female College. He spent roughly four years as the college’s president, but he wasn’t seeing the success he’d seen at Oakland. 

The Biden administration is fraying relations with some allies and generating pushback from Congress by spending millions of taxpayer dollars to promote the woke ideology abroad that has stirred controversy at home since President Biden took office.  

Something happened to me last week that I never experienced before. I couldn't even find the words to describe the experience until I accidentally found an article on the internet that explained what happened to me. 

In my view, no reasonable person can read the transcript of the Oppenheimer security hearing without concluding that Oppenheimer was a Communist despite his denials. The movie ignores the scope of Dr. Oppenheimer’s involvement with numerous Communist front groups.

No veteran should be discouraged from seeking the benefits that they have rightfully earned in the defense of our republic.

Fifty years ago, in Cincinnati, places like Mount Adams and Walnut Hills were rebuilt by brave individual pioneers who bought 50- to 75-year-old row houses and mansions. They took the risks of rebuilding these residences on their own and it paid off. This happened in other cities as well.

Greg asked which of two projects I would rather undertake. I could stand in the shade of his shop, the fan blowing across my glistening arms and face, and sort through the rusty fittings we had just taken off the aluminum trailer. This was a new-to-us, 40-year-old aluminum trailer that we are in the process of refurbishing to trundle our steam little launch to and from nearby lakes.

Our country’s leaders cannot continue to disregard this crisis. The delusion must end; our country needs border policies that put Americans first – that’s precisely what the Secure the Border Act does. Border Security is national security, and it’s time for Secretary Mayorkas, President Biden, and far-left Democrats to wake up and follow House Republicans’ lead.

A secure nation must first begin with secure borders. Just as he has done since his inauguration, President Biden is ignoring the crisis at our southern border. By not reversing his and his administration’s open border policies, the president is only allowing this historic humanitarian and national security crisis to continue.

Many of our elected leaders are telling Americans that we need to make do with less, that the days of cheap and reliable power are over. I vehemently disagree. Our government should reverse these dangerous trends and unleash our energy industry by investing the type of infrastructure projects that have kept America’s lights on for decades.

No Labels, the centrist group looking to field a 2024 presidential ticket, just announced that they’ve earned ballot access in 10 states. As someone who has twice had to use the signature process to gain ballot access in a single state, I can tell you that this is no small feat. No Labels achieved this milestone despite significant active opposition from the Democratic Party.
