Bottom line, for the U.S., the future is bright. For our potential adversaries, such as Russia and the PRC, strong storm clouds are on the horizon as they try to compete economically with the U.S. In 2027, the gap between the U.S. and Russia and the PRC will continue to grow as the U.S. becomes stronger, while Russia and the PRC will level off and may even become weaker.

It is time to set a nationwide standard for election integrity. I look forward to continuing to work with my colleagues in the Senate to bring what Ohio has achieved to the rest of the country: making it easy to vote and hard to cheat.

Kathryn Hapner is more than competent to serve as Common Pleas Court judge. She has the experience, integrity and commitment to seeking justice that the office demands. She is most familiar with the court system, and has no doubt added to that considerable experience – even if by osmosis and the absorption of jurisprudence – through years of litigating before Honorable Judges like Kevin L. Greer and Rocky A. Coss.

Jesus uses the "Good Shepherd" image to reveal a divine truth: "I will never abandon you."

New York City has lost tens of thousands of residents to other states including Texas and Florida in recent years, according to a new report by a fiscal watchdog, which is renewing calls on state lawmakers to cut taxes and reduce spending.

We have somehow come today to believe that anyone born within the geographical limits of the U.S. is automatically subject to its jurisdiction. But this renders the jurisdiction clause utterly superfluous and without force. If this had been the intention of the framers of the 14th Amendment, they would simply have said that all persons born or naturalized in the U.S. are thereby citizens. 

The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, not Iran’s civilian government, is calling the shots. And a senior US official confirmed this week what the numbers have shown all along: “Iran has no money. They’re broke. We know it. And they know we know it.”

We stayed on Route 50, which was our objective. We went through several small towns and then came to a larger one. I glimpsed at the sign – Owensville – even though it was dark and still raining. The chicken jumped aboard to give her wings a rest.

When my grandmother came to visit, I could hardly wait to show her my latest accomplishments.

We’ve not had an execution since 2018, and there’s none on the horizon. That means 113 killers − one of whom I helped prosecute − snicker and chortle on death row. They know they’re more likely to die of natural causes than the capital punishment they so richly deserve.

Last week, I was proud to introduce a bipartisan, bicameral resolution that recognizes April as Second Chance Month. This resolution raises awareness for unlocking opportunities for successful reentry into society following incarceration that ultimately reduces recidivism rates.

At the core of the Working Families Tax Cuts law is its prevention of a $4 trillion tax hike, paired with permanently lowered rates to spur economic growth. The law also extended and expanded a swath of deductions and tax credits to help Americans withstand the Biden-created affordability crisis.

When I was a little boy, my dad snookered me into lawn mowing by suggesting this is an activity “big boys do.”  

I am grateful to this bountiful country for allowing me in, and to its generosity for allowing me to try. I am grateful that it isn’t dominated by one city or one culture. I am grateful that at its best, it shines as the North Star for the world.

Pope Leo XIV may be a man of the cloth, but he is also a Chicago Southsider, so it is not surprising that he can’t rise completely above the fray. How else to explain his ramped-up criticism of the Iran war right after granting an audience to fellow Chicagoan David Axelrod, the influential Democratic operative and Barack Obama advisor – and the appearance of three anti-war cardinals on “60 Minutes” two days later?
