  • America does not have to face decline

    America, like any country, certainly faces many challenges, such as inflation and rising crime rates. But if we remain true to the ideals and principles that made us the country we are today, I have no doubt in my mind that we can overcome them. The United States is the greatest country in the world due to the underlying principles of freedom and equality that have led to its success.
  • Debates will only bolster Trump
    A health event, or something in another indictment, could blunt Trump’s path to the nomination, but no candidate forum will do the job. On Aug. 23 a Republican not named Trump can “win” the debate, or even the following one, but neither night can make this a different race.
  • Yes, Virginia, America really is a good country
    Ours is a country whose citizens still believe, overwhelmingly, in the ideals of the Declaration of Independence, the document that gave birth to the Fourth of July celebration. Our is still a country that, despite efforts to divide us, still strives to achieve its national motto, “Out of many, one.”
  • Despite headwinds, U.S. beer industry booming
    With Memorial Day and July 4 behind us, America and our vibrant beer industry are now firmly in the summer selling season, which falls between Memorial Day and Labor Day.

  • A sermon on Matthew 11:25-30
    Jesus came to earth to show us what God wants. God wants you to be happy. Jesus tells you where to find real happiness – and it won't be found in a beer bottle. 
  • We need a Constitution that means what it says
    It is not the governor or the courts or even the people of the state which set election rules, according to the Constitution, but the legislatures. Mind you, the state legislatures are not entirely unchecked in their decision making, but it is the Congress of the United States that provides the checks and balances, not the courts.
  • Independence Day teaches us that people matter
    American civics education is in a state of disarray. Recent news of abysmal test scores proves that our students are falling behind. A civics education deficit is emerging. If we allow the decline to continue unabated, America is in danger of forgetting the Declaration’s truth that people matter. If our children are never taught the basic principles of our Constitution, then they will never participate fully in a government of citizens.
  • The all-volunteer military at 50
    As the perceived gap between civilian and military values grows wider, and civil society becomes more polarized between right and left, the military will have to wrestle with how to maintain the time-tested culture necessary to defend the nation while still attracting enough people willing to preserve and defend the idea of “America.”
  • The brave and noble 56
    On Independence Day, July 4, let us not forget to think about the 56 signers of the Declaration of Independence and the prices many paid for their respective commitments to forming a new nation.
  • F = MA and the human element
    F = MA is an equation from physics. It means Force equals Mass times Acceleration. You use it every day, even if you never took physics.  
  • Independence Day
    The Fourth of July is the fundamental American holiday. It gives us an opportunity to spend time with loved ones in beautiful places across our great nation and celebrate the honor it is to be an American with shared unalienable rights.
  • Honoring generations of service
    As we enjoy and celebrate our nation’s independence, let us honor the generations of service of those with valor, and may their legacy continue to inspire those for generations to come. Happy Fourth of July and God Bless America!
  • Small wonders 
    We have always been proud to say that we don't have a problem with mosquitos in the creek valley, and now I believe that I know why. It is all thanks to this mighty army of voracious, though tiny, tree frogs.
  • Yearning for collapse: On Patrick Deneen's 'Regime Change'
    The modern conception, in Deneen's view, spawned societal pathologies that the modern liberal framework cannot solve. His proposed solution in "Why Liberalism Failed" was to lean into the creation of a counterculture that would stand in defiance of this dominant paradigm, a sentiment resonating with the likes of Rod Dreher's "Benedict Option" strain of community-based Christianity, a self-contained and intentional microcosm that can survive the horrors of another dark age, forest passage, or whichever metaphor believers wish to use to conceptualize these putatively benighted times.
  • Expanding broadband in rural Ohio
    Every Ohio family and Ohio business should be able to have reliable, high-speed internet. You shouldn’t have to live in a big city or a wealthy suburb to have access to a crucial aspect of modern society and our economy.
