  • Passing the buck

    Twenty years of policy and effort obviously bear the mark of multiple administrations and Congresses. However, as Commander in Chief, President Biden cannot point fingers and blame anyone else for this national embarrassment of this ending but himself. His failure on the international stage has surely and certainly emboldened our enemies.
  • Republican 2024 field, sans Trump, backs Bud boycott 
    “You have this man, who dresses up like a girl, and clearly makes a mockery of women – it’s just not right,” Nikki Haley told RCP. “Feminist groups who claim to be pro-women have gone silent. We need to use the power of our voice to call this out.”
  • Possible scenarios for 2024
    This week (April 20, 2023), it will be 21 months until the next U.S. presidential inauguration. What are some possible scenarios between now and then?
  • A sermon on the road to Emmaus
    It is foolish to think I am in charge of me own life. I make God laugh every time I tell him my plans. 
  • Accountability for Biden's botched Afghan withdrawal?
    Pentagon Spokesperson John Kirby had the audacity to state that he was proud of the withdrawal from Afghanistan. This followed the release of a report from the Biden administration that lays the blame for this withdrawal at the feet of President Trump, taking little to no responsibility. This is a sign of failed leadership.
  • Poll: Majority of GOP lawmakers want to cut voter access to Ohio Constitution
    Some Ohio House Republicans — and Secretary of State Frank LaRose — are reviving a measure that failed in last year’s lame-duck legislative session. It would raise the percentage of votes it would take to amend the Ohio Constitution from 50% to 60%.
  • Time's up on TikTok
    It’s no surprise that many Americans agree that TikTok should be banned. And it’s why I recently introduced bipartisan legislation that would codify President Trump’s forward-looking effort to confront foreign-adversary technologies like TikTok that threaten our national security.
  • Biden energy agenda puts China, bureaucrats first
    The big-government socialists want to change the way we live our lives, and it's not because they want to help America. You know, they call it the ‘green agenda’. I call it the ‘red agenda,’ because where are these batteries being made? In China. 
  • History and education in those Highland County hills of yore, Part 8 
    In 1856, a new Hillsborough Female College was constructed on the west end of Main Street. It was located between Main and West Walnut at Oak Street.
  • Lawmakers reintroduce legislation to support America’s trucking industry
    The bipartisan Strengthening Supply Chains Through Truck Driver Incentives Act would provide a short-term, fast, and straightforward incentive to attract and retain new drivers. Specifically, the Gallagher-Spanberger bill would create a two-year refundable tax credit of up to $7,500 for truck drivers holding a valid Class A commercial driver’s license (CDL) who drive at least 1,900 hours in the year.
  • Lowering prescription drug prices

  • It’s time for America to reassert political dominance overseas
    There is no doubt that ceding international diplomacy to China and Russia would be highly detrimental to U.S. national security.
  • Biden's budget unaffordable
    Americans have now experienced well over a year and a half of inflation above 5 percent. Costs of rent, groceries and services continue to rise. Wages cannot keep up. Last year, the Administration committed to working in a bipartisan fashion to address this serious problem, noting the budget must complement monetary policy. Instead, Democrats rushed a reckless tax-and-spend agenda through Congress rolling out $500 billion of subsidies and hundreds of billions in new tax increases.
  • Nikki Haley to Iowa: GOP can't afford to miss in primary
    The first presidential primary debate is four months away. The Iowa caucuses, nine. Looking in on the country from outside in the Washington Beltway, some have already concluded that it’s too late and that the primary is already two-man race. Trump has more than 10 times the support for Haley in the RealClearPolitics average. Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, who hasn’t yet declared, leads the former ambassador by a factor of six.
  • Report: Biden’s energy plan costs jobs, ratepayers; losses would be in the thousands for jobs, investment
    The Buckeye Institute, an Ohio-based policy group, examined what it called Biden’s idea to revive the Clean Power Plan. This was initially an Environmental Protection Agency rule issued during the Obama administration, rolled back by former President Donald Trump and eventually vacated by the U.S. Supreme Court in 2022.
