  • The tractor parade

    This past week was again the week of the antique machinery show, a week I have been looking forward to all year. I no longer feel nervous, just ever so happily excited as I climb up into the seat of my red tractor and join the line of proud tractor owners in the tractor parade.
  • The Great Chicago Fire – and lessons still to be learned

  • Sen. Grassley: Special Counsel must pursue all facts, provide greater transparency in Biden case
    Since at least 2019, the FBI and Justice Department have possessed glaring evidence of criminality involving the Biden family’s business ventures. Despite repeated assurances that U.S. Attorney Weiss had full authority and independence to pursue all the facts, whistleblowers and a botched sweetheart plea deal told a much different story. 
  • Amid foreign agent drama, memo reveals $20M to Hunter and Biden family
    “During Joe Biden’s vice presidency, Hunter Biden sold him as ‘the brand’ to reap millions from oligarchs in Kazakhstan, Russia, and Ukraine. It appears no real services were provided other than access to the Biden network, including Joe Biden himself,” Oversight Chairman James Comer said in a statement.
  • IEA and congressional opponents of fossil fuels are chasing windmills
    The Biden administration’s regulatory onslaught is no mere rumor. It’s a harsh reality deeply problematic for the rule of law, for the concept of self-government, for the institutions of our constitutional republic, and for federalism. And, not least, for a U.S. economy subjected to ever-increasing legal burdens, bureaucratic interference, distortions in the productivity of resource use, and metastasizing Beltway mindlessness.
  • Speaking the truth on border, fentanyl crises is now ‘extremist’
    To say the Biden administration’s border policies have not resulted in more fentanyl in the United States is to deny the obvious. The extremists on this issue are those who would obstruct efforts to halt the importation of the fentanyl that is killing our fellow citizens. Their inability to put the welfare of our children above partisan politics is a great example of all that is rotten in Washington today.
  • A NATO without limits?

  • Sen. Cassidy blasts Biden’s inflationary Davis-Bacon rule
    “This new rule would defy 40 years of precedent and disregard the nonpartisan GAO’s warning that this action would drastically inflate the price of construction,” said Dr. Cassidy. “This is the last thing our country needs as families continue to live with the painful effects of the Biden administration’s inflation agenda.”
  • Kellogg floated Pence for medal, now says he’s ‘fair game’
    Keith Kellogg, who served as national security advisor to former Vice President Mike Pence, has endorsed Donald Trump for the Republican nomination. Kellogg claims to be surprised that anyone else is surprised. 
  • Blame game: Issue 1 supporters pointing fingers after resounding loss
    As the dust settled on election night, Republicans who led the push to restrict constitutional amendment initiatives with Issue 1 began making excuses, shifting blame and promising retribution. Instead of placing a period on a disappointing months-long campaign, they offered an ellipses — steadfastly refusing to acknowledge their effort was out of step with Ohio voters.
  • Fact-checking media's biased 'fact-checkers'
    For the second time in three years, the Washington Post has quietly “updated” one of the most consequential fact checks in the history of American politics – its October 2020 article undercutting reports that Hunter Biden arranged a dinner meeting between one of his foreign business clients and his father, who was then vice president of the United States.
  • Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose comments on Issue 1
    “I’m grateful that nearly 1.3 million Ohioans stood with us in this fight, but this is only one battle in a long war. Unfortunately, we were dramatically outspent by dark money billionaires from California to New York, and the giant ‘for sale’ sign still hangs on Ohio’s constitution. Ohioans will see the devastating impact of this vote soon enough. " – Frank LaRose
  • Trump derangement at WAPO
    Those who study the Post's front pages over time might conclude that the newspaper – in its choice of story placement and the negative tone of the headlines – is out to get Trump. Or, conversely, out to boost Biden. Either way, they wouldn’t be far from wrong.
