  • Popcorn, peanuts: Second District race to replace Wenstrup a political circus

    Have you heard that there's a March primary election to see who will succeed current Rep. Brad Wenstrup in Ohio's Second Congressional District? If you are blissfully unaware of this political circus, count yourself among the fortunate ones.
  • A sermon on Mark 1:21-28
    Mark's story of Jesus healing a man with the evil spirit I call J-Day. It is a report of the very first battle of Jesus fighting Satan for the liberation of the human people. Jesus declared in Mark 1:15, “The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent and believe in the Good News." 
  • Austin’s unauthorized absence more proof of no accountability in Biden administration
    I lost my military career after being unreachable for five hours. Lloyd Austin was unreachable for five days while his aides lied about where he was. There’s a two-tiered justice system in the military and no accountability in the Biden administration.  
  • Why is China on Biden's charitable agenda?
    Put simply, the Biden administration has an obligation to protect the fruits of American innovation – for the sake of our technological and economic interests, our labor force and for global health. 
  • Nikki Haley gets the two-person race she wanted
    Yes, it is now a two-person race. Haley has 48 hours to secure a real win against Trump or settle for a moral victory against DeSantis.
  • Teach young athletes to care about their audiences
    So, athletes, try to break out and show your friendliness, greet and thank those who came to watch you play. Yes, care! Perhaps learning to CARE is a vital value that needs to be fostered and should be right at the top of the goals of coaching – and of parenting.
  • Poll: Nearly a third of voters lack confidence in 2024 presidential election
    With primary season under way, nearly one third of registered voters think the 2024 presidential election will not be conducted fairly or accurately, according to a new poll.
  • Saving Social Security should be a priority in Congress
    Last month, U.S. Sen. J.D. Vance, R-Ohio, told former White House aide Steve Bannon that some lawmakers want to reduce Social Security benefits so that the federal government can send more money to Ukraine, which Vance argued would flow through to Ukrainian President Zelensky’s underlings to “buy a bigger yacht.”
  • All in for life
    Last week, we witnessed Americans from tiny towns and big cities come together on the National Mall in celebration of the gift we all share – life. During this year’s March for Life, thousands gathered to focus on our desire to extend love and care for both the mother and child during pregnancy and in the years after.
  • Good insulation
    I was so excited to wake up and see the creek valley covered in snow. The sky was a just brightening grey and everywhere I looked, everything was blanketed in white. I could hardly wait to get outside, but after checking the temperature gauge, I knew the importance of proper attire.
  • Fighting against human trafficking
    January is Human Trafficking Prevention Month. Of all the issues we face as a nation and society, the kidnapping and enslaving of our fellow Americans is the gravest. Like the fentanyl crisis, it’s a phantom evil assaulting our communities. We might not notice it, but heinous crimes could be underway around us at any time.
  • Supporting Ohio manufacturers and lowering costs for Ohio families
    Two of my top priorities are supporting Ohio manufacturers and lowering costs for Ohio families. This week, we announced a bipartisan tax cut deal that does both – it would cut taxes for many Ohio parents and for Ohio manufacturers, and would also protect residents of East Palestine from surprise tax bills.
  • It is not Democrat or Republican
    It is not Democrat or Republican – nor liberal or conservative. It is the elites versus the rest of us.  
  • What happens in New Hampshire won’t stay in New Hampshire
    The prevailing narrative emerging from Iowa was that Donald Trump has an iron-fisted grip on the Republican Party, that he’s destined to be the 2024 nominee, and that Americans will get the inevitable rematch between Trump and Joe Biden they say they do not want. I have a three word reaction: Not so fast.
  • Revisiting Eisenhower’s instructions for combatting antisemitism
    Concerns that Americans would forget the Holocaust or come to doubt it were first addressed by the man who led the Allied armies to victory in the Second World War: Dwight Eisenhower. A Midwesterner by birth who made the military his career, Ike was untainted by early 20th-century antisemitism that was prevalent in the halls of power.
  • Mr. MVP or Mr. MIP?
    If you have a group who listens avidly to your opinion, be careful. You carry a very big stick and even bigger sway. Sway for which the passing of time will hold you accountable. Use your opinions and your influence wisely. And I’m not simply referring to sports, but you knew that.
