Veterans and survivors must file a claim before Aug. 9 to be eligible for retroactive compensation. Post-9/11 combat veterans discharged more than 10 years ago and not enrolled in VA health care must enroll by Oct. 1 to avoid a phased-in enrollment.

Part of what makes Missouri agriculture so special is that 97% of our farmland is family owned. And with 2/3 of our state’s makeup being farmland, Missourians are continuing their family legacies all across our state.

The number of terror suspects captured trying to enter the U.S. illegally has soared since President Joe Biden took office. With more than 1 million unidentified foreign nationals evading apprehension after entering the U.S., the potential that at least some are on the international terrorist watch list poses a potential major threat to national security and raises the chances of terror attacks, observers warn.

In too many communities in Ohio, big outside investors funded by Wall Street are buying up homes that could have gone to first-time homebuyers. It’s driving up prices and it’s making it even harder for Ohioans to buy a house – especially for young families buying their first home.

Ramaswamy qualified last week for the first Republican presidential debate, and he has consistently polled in third place in the RealClearPolitics average ahead of more established candidates such as former Vice President Mike Pence and South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott.

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) announced a rule to ban cost-effective lead ammunition and tackle in eight national wildlife refuges. This is arguably a broad attack on hunting and fishing. The USFWS rule, which lacks scientific backing, increases costs for sportsmen and women for traditional ammo and tackle that would otherwise be cost-effective.

Liberal, progressive, anti-gun Democrats will use a no vote on Issue 1 to take away your right to self-defense. They will take away your guns. This is not an accusation. It is a fact. How do we know?  Because they said so.

If Congress does absolutely nothing – which is what Congress is best at doing – then pretty much every American will soon be paying higher taxes. Rich or poor, your tax bill is going up – and economic growth will decrease – when the non-permanent provisions of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 expire at the end of 2025.

Real Clear Wire It was 100 years ago this week – Aug. 2, 1923 – when President Warren G. Harding suddenly died. He was in San Francisco, on the tail end of a cross-country promotional tour that had taken him as far as Alaska. It would have been an exhausting trip even for a younger man without a bum ticker. Then Harding contracted pneumonia along the way and, if that wasn’t enough, was laid low by some tainted seafood.

• SBA’s Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) – intended to help small businesses keep their workforce employed during the pandemic – helped finance the criminal enterprise of the violent Crip street gang, which committed over a dozen shootings and three murders in recent years. Members and associates of the Step or Die street gang, known for committing robberies and murders, collected $600,000.

Ladies and gentlemen, Ted and Eileen Salter performed variety act shows of puppetry, music and British pantomime for audiences, paying or not. The Salters appeared on “Truth of Consequences,” “To Tell the Truth” and “The Steve Allen Show,” as well as several short films. The Salters made Highland County their home, and Ted even wrote a song for Hillsboro entitled “Hillsboro, O-HI-O.” 

Four hundred ninety-eight electric vehicles (EVs) and over 3,200 other vehicles, including 350 Mercedes Benzes, were bound for Egypt on the ship "Fremantle Highway" when one or more of the EVs caught fire, costing at least one seaman his life and injuring several others. Curiously, the Dutch coast guard had initially reported that only 25 of the vehicles were battery-electric models.

We have seen the Biden Administration pursue a fruitless and insufficient go-it-alone trade agenda. This has led to members of Congress on both sides of the aisle calling on the Biden Administration to improve transparency and consultation with Congress on pending trade negotiations, yet the Biden Administration has still not partnered with Congress and the American people, a partnership that is necessary for a strong and enduring trade agenda.  

FBI veterans who have sworn out affidavits for FISA wiretaps told RCI they have never known the bureau to cite media stories as evidence to corroborate leads or support probable cause to obtain such all-invasive warrants from the spy court. “Absolutely not,” said former assistant FBI Director Chris Swecker. “I signed scores of FISA orders as they moved up the chain of command from the field office up to headquarters for final approval. None of them included that type of information, which is absolutely malpractice and incompetence, or worse.” 

Unlike Democrats, we understand we have a job to do, and we cannot just proceed with out-of-touch policies and the out-of-control spending that led to record-high inflation and a weak economy. With just a few more funding bills left to mark up and with bills beginning to pass the full House, we are making progress toward fulfilling our commitment.
