  • The fear factor and winning the independent voter

    After partisan gamesmanship, gerrymandering, and policy positions that purposely seek to divide Americans against each other, we might finally be turning the corner. This means a focus on bipartisan compromise, a position that can win the independent voter, especially in the swing states.
  • The battle for higher education
    Those choices frame the battle for the future of higher education in America: Incumbents fighting to preserve a deeply illiberal, hateful, discriminatory status quo vs. reformers seeking a return to traditional liberal education. If you want to understand why we in the reform movement get so much hatred from the incumbents, look no further.
  • A shrunken arsenal: The alarming decline of U.S. munitions
    The United States, once a fortress of military might, now faces the prospect of a munitions deficit in an era brimming with uncertainties. This desperate situation demands the development of a national critical munitions stockpile.
  • Democrats censoring the truth about radical judicial nominees
    It’s easy to see why Democrats don’t want me and my colleagues talking about their nominees. For months, we have exposed that their radical picks have no business being a county fair judge – let alone serving on the federal bench with a lifetime appointment.
  • Silent Night: The Christmas Truce in World War I
    The truce lasted all night and through Christmas Day – even extending to New Year’s Day in many areas. Both sides took the opportunity to bury their dead. In some instances, joint burial services were held.
  • Winter trees
    On those rare occasions that we drive down the road returning home after dark I am greeted by the wonderfully welcoming sight of the creek valley trees, each one in its perfectly placed spot.
  • Merry Christmas
    I am particularly grateful for time with loved ones to rejoice in the overwhelming peace of the Lord and the promise of new life through Jesus Christ.
  • Wishing you a Merry Christmas
    On behalf of the Luetkemeyers, we hope you have a blessed Merry Christmas and a very prosperous Happy New Year!
  • A letter to Santa Claus: An 1870 Christmas Story, the conclusion 
    Well, there you have it, folks, “A letter to Santa Claus: An 1870 Christmas Story.” The ladies and gentlemen of Hillsborough and Highland County read that story when the newspaper came off the press more than a century and a half ago, and now we may read those festive words once again. Merry Christmas, everyone, and may God bless you all. 
  • Values of faith, giving and gratitude
    December is a time for family traditions, celebrations and even generosity to others, and one of the core principles of Christmas is the spirit of giving. This holiday season, let us be mindful of those less fortunate than us.
  • Advent and Christmas at the Vatican
    The Advent season concludes and the Christmas season begins with a papal Mass at St. Peter’s Basilica on Dec. 24. This year, Pope Francis will celebrate the Vigil Mass on Christmas Eve with millions of Catholics watching around the world.
  • Stop the steal
    Corporations, small businesses and other entities have been stealing time from each of us in a planned and systematic way for many years to enrich themselves. It is time for this to stop.
  • Why Trump should love the Colorado ruling
    Four left-wing Colorado justices attempting to kneecap Trump were not even going to wait on due process – the very foundation of law – to effectively declare Trump guilty of insurrection, a crime for which he has not, repeat not, even been charged. After believing their attempts to wipe Trump off the ballot would be a knockout punch, it is the left that is about to get walloped to the canvas with a right hook. 
  • Merry Christmas
    Christmas is the perfect opportunity to reflect on the blessings of the past year and look forward to the possibilities of next year. As we celebrate this Christmas season, I hope each of us is filled with gratitude for all God has given us.
  • The Word of the Year is context
    The weaponization of context helps explain why our leaders are insistently asking us to believe their words rather than our own eyes.
  • President Trump’s plan to save U.S. cities
    Those who are committed to union incompetence, leftwing extremism, and keeping power will fight against a program to save America’s cities. Most Americans, however, will be excited by the vision of a safe, prosperous, and forward-looking urban future.
