  • Watchdog

    Kitty is probably the most beautiful dog we have known. Her fur is a sleek shiny black, so smooth that dirt and farm debris slide right off.
  • Islamic civil rights group says nothing about civil unrest in Iran
    America’s largest Muslim advocacy group speaks out regularly about Israel’s alleged abuses in Gaza. But it has yet to say anything about ongoing human rights protests in Iran.
  • What’s changed?
    I think we should start a morality program. Oops, we have one. It is called the Christian churches.  
  • Push for censorship on campus hit record levels in 2025
    This year, the fight over free expression in American higher education reached a troubling milestone. According to data from the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression, efforts to censor speech on college campuses hit record highs and across multiple fronts – and most succeeded.
  • Entering the New Year with permitting momentum
    The good news is that the House of Representatives ended 2025 by passing a series of permitting bills, laying clear markers for the Senate to build upon.
  • A sermon on Epiphany Matthew 2:1-12
    The story of Epiphany is God revealing the divinity of Jesus to the three wise men who brought gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh. There is a joke about a fourth wise man who was turned away for bringing a fruitcake. Pardon the levity, but I ask a serious question. What is the best gift you could bring Jesus? 
  • I want it all
    A couple of weeks ago, I was talking with my brother on the phone. We were discussing Christmas and what to buy for our grandkids. Eventually, the conversation turned to what they might buy for us. He then asked me, “Is there anything you want that you don’t already have?”
  • Setting up the 2026 midterms
    After 2018, Rep. Nancy Pelosi returned to the House speakership and unrelentingly harassed Trump over the last two years of his first term. These distractions and obstructions­ – especially during COVID – were undoubtedly a factor in Trump’s narrow 2020 electoral college defeat.
  • The death of print?: Georgia's largest newspaper signals a warning
    For the record, I have been in printing and publishing for 46 consecutive years; and in each and every one of those years, at least someone has said to me, "Print is dead." Somehow, I've made it for almost five decades. But today, in 2026, I almost – almost – believe print really is dead. OK. Close the casket, already. Let's make it a happy wake. Otherwise, prove me wrong.
  • High electricity prices are a choice blue states make every day
    Electricity affordability is shaped primarily by state policy choices, and states choosing the most expensive path are overwhelmingly blue. So, blue-state residents are experiencing the pain much more than those in red states.
  • On the Moraine, Part XLIV
    Today, it would take a year’s worth of counseling to go through what we did that week. We just tried to take it in stride in those days.
  • 'Last Stand at Saber River'
    Refuse to hold on to your grudge. Stop nursing that bad memory over and over again, which has fattened itself to the point of nearly consuming your world.
  • Over easy
    So, my thought is this. Easy is a wonderfully a simple word. It has a peaceful calmness about it. All I need to do, no matter how time is passing, is remind myself to take it easy.
  • Rebuilding our military and defending the homeland
    Our service members and their families sacrifice a tremendous amount for our safety, they should be supported accordingly. We will also continue to set recruiting and retention records with strong investments in the next generation of warriors.
  • Hey, Senate GOP, let’s get moving before it’s too late
    Most of my Democratic colleagues would rather bathe with their toasters than support any part of President Donald Trump’s agenda. If Trump endorsed breathing to live, they’d hold their breath. They can’t stand the president, and that’s their right — but this hyper-partisanship makes it nearly impossible to gather the 60 votes needed in the Senate to pass most legislation.
  • How illegal immigration and government failure fuel identity theft
    A RealClearInvestigations analysis has found that the federal and state governments bear some responsibility for this harm to American citizens because of their failure to address long-acknowledged weaknesses in the primary tool used to limit this identity theft – E-Verify.
