  • Rural America needs permitting reform

    H.R. 1 updates our broken permitting process to actually let Americans mine, farm, manufacture, process, and build infrastructure so we can get shovels in the ground and move this country forward. For far too long, we’ve sat idle and let bureaucrats in Washington and radical activist lawyers hamstring American workers by suing at every opportunity, long after decisions have been made and permits have been issued.
  • How the buckeye got its name
    Once I learned that chocolate-covered, peanut butter candies were called moose eyes by folks in the northeast, I began to wonder how the candy really got its name in my neck of the woods.
  • Learn to 'hold your holt'
    Do what is right. Stand up, immovable, for what is good and true, and refuse to change. Edmund Burke, a famous British statesman once said, “All it takes for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing.” Guess we are now seeing living proof.
  • An Easter sermon
    We are praying for all the suffering. We can give you only our fellowship and our prayer and say to you: “Courage! We accompany you!” And also to say to you the greatest thing we are celebrating today: Christòs voskrés! Christ is risen!
  • GOP House opens the door for prescription drug reform
    Voters made clear in November that they want more action on what really matters to them. The new Congress has a chance to notch a major victory for average Americans by going after the real source of high prescription drug costs in this country: middlemen companies known as pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs).
  • He has risen: An Easter celebration
    Happy Easter. This is the most blessed weekend of the year for Christians, and one we anticipate all year long. While Christmas is of course a holy season, Easter is the most meaningful one of all.
  • Senators introduce Not One More Inch or Acre Act
    Senator Katie Britt (R-Ala.), the ranking member of the Homeland Security Subcommittee of the Senate Committee on Appropriations, joined Senator Tom Cotton (R-Ark.), in introducing the Not One More Inch or Acre Act, legislation that will prevent any Chinese national or entity from owning American land.
  • Setting the record straight on recent bank failures
    A combination of excessive spending, skyrocketing inflation, rising interest rates, mismanaged interest rate risk, failed supervision and management, and a social media-fueled bank run led to recent bank failures. As Congress and regulators analyze what went wrong, one thing is clear: S. 2155’s targeted reforms did not contribute to bank failures.
  • An Easter sermon
    There is a quote that reads, "Earth’s saddest day and gladdest day were just three days apart." Invite Him in. Jesus won't wait long to make you happy. Happy Easter.
  • Rep. Massie: Trump is wrong about DeSantis
    “I know DeSantis can win,” Rep. Massie said, “because I’ve seen him up in the polls just four months ago over Trump in Kentucky, which is Trump Central. He’s got a great chance. People want somebody who can drain the swamp.”
  • Trump pushes legal envelope post-indictment
    The fever dream finally broke when former President Trump was arrested Tuesday, April 4. Minus handcuffs, his New York arraignment happened almost exactly like “the Resistance” long hoped and dreamed. And then, Trump returned to Mar-a-Lago; all but called the Manhattan district attorney, as well as the judge overseeing his case, a crook; said “the country is going to hell;” took shots at the other prosecutors investigating him; and declared he had “no interest” in plea deals.
  • American carnage: Trump indictment reflects left’s bottomless cynicism
    The historic indictment of Donald Trump on weak, politically motivated charges underscores how far Democrats have knocked our country off the rails. Their incessant attack on the pillars of our society is creating a nation of cynics who no longer believe in anything. When the rule of law is dead, everything is permitted.
  • Calling all consumers: It’s time to recall our failing energy policies
    It’s time for consumers everywhere – families, farmers, truckers, organized labor, manufacturers, retailers, environmentalists – to demand a consumer recall for any idea that makes energy less affordable, available, reliable or environmentally responsible.
  • Don't live there, just visit once
    I heard this said recently, and it stuck. “Seems to me the past isn’t a great place to live, just a place to visit once, to learn from it.” Don’t waste your life in regrets of what you’ve done wrong. Visit there just once, long enough to learn differently. And then use your gray matter to live life better and happier.
  • Lowering energy costs
    On his first day in office, President Joe Biden rescinded the permit for the Keystone XL pipeline, and followed that up by suspending new oil and gas leasing and drilling on federal lands and waters. Americans have unfortunately felt the effects of these actions through record-high energy prices.
  • Another COVID fail: School budget cliffs with gaping holes
    A recent Rand study found that 77% of school districts used the federal money on exactly what numerous other fiscal hawks cautioned against: beefing up staffing with little regard for the future. “Roughly half of district leaders see a fiscal cliff looming after coronavirus disease (COVID-19) federal aid expires,” Rand researchers reported. The study noted that over three-quarters of public school districts have “increased their number of teaching and non-teaching staff above pre-pandemic levels.”
