Three U.S. warships, a nuclear submarine, and a Marine detachment are sliding into the Caribbean. By themselves they cannot bring down Nicolas Maduro, but they can blockade ports, choke resupply, and cripple the refineries and substations that keep his state on life support.
Those who grew up in the 20th and 21st centuries have spent their lives in an environment saturated with cautionary tales about technology and human error, projections of ancient flood myths onto modern scenarios in which the hubris of our species brings our downfall.
Free time and greed, in its basest form, results in murder. Cain used a rock to kill his brother, Abel. It was cheap, just pick it up off the ground. Today, our weapons may not be so cheap, but they are designed to be impulsive.
Although it is remembered by all as a horrific natural disaster connected to the deaths of close to 1,400 people and the displacement of hundreds of thousands more, this was a man-made tragedy, at least in New Orleans. Longstanding warnings about problems in the levees built by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers were ignored, leading to the epic floods.
We must counter Communist China’s aggressive and deceptive behavior. American farmland must not be a tool that Communist China can use as a strategic advantage.
In a typical multi-day Jack Miller Center seminar, each K-12 teacher is expected to read and discuss a curated anthology, spanning several hundred pages of primary sources. Curriculum development sessions help teachers apply the material in the classroom.
As FOFA and other active forest management reforms are considered as part of this much-needed debate in Congress, I will continue to work to ensure federal policy best enables the long-term health of public lands to help prevent wildfires and back those protecting our communities from wildfires.
A new poll conducted by Emerson College indicates Ohio’s Republican candidates have an advantage over their Democratic counterparts.

One thing all Americans can agree on is that those who have served our country in uniform deserve the best care and benefits we can provide in return for their sacrifice.
I thoroughly enjoy Fr. Mike Paraniuk's column every time. I sometimes use it in my morning devotion time. (I am not Catholic – doesn't matter). He always tells a worthwhile story, and makes so much common sense with sweet eloquence. He is the Will Rogers of sweet spirit and truth.
The most successful gerrymander in history may have been the combination of the 2020 census and the Obama and Biden administrations’ admission of tens of millions of illegal aliens. The U.S. Census Bureau acknowledges that in 2020 it overcounted in eight states and undercounted in six, costing Republicans an estimated six seats.
We farmed mostly with the Case that spring, but I would run the John Deere dragging after Dad had plowed. Dragging plowed ground is a rough ride. You know what I am talking about if you have ever done it.
If shared study of the Western tradition can improve mutual understanding across oceans and civilizations, study of the Western tradition in America can contribute to healing the breach between right and left at the nation’s troubled colleges and universities.
