For the first time in my 94 years on earth, I fear for the future of our democracy. I see the federal government using its enormous powers with contempt for the governed instead of with the consent of the governed as our founders envisioned.

With a population of approximately 9.3 million including around two million Arab citizens, the nation-state of the Jewish people is the only rights-protecting democracy in a region – the Middle East and North Africa – of more than 500 million Muslims.

A common language provides a basis for common objectives. We now have people inside our borders who clearly are here to exploit our generosity while ignoring our principles. Not being willing to learn our common language is the first clue when it comes to their motivations.

I urge the District in the strongest possible terms to do the right thing by maintaining full support for our most essential science: Agriculture.

Though windmills and solar panels get the headlines, the big energy topic in Washington is electric transmission.

My book presents term limits as not just a policy change but as a pivotal step toward revitalizing our Republic. It brings this old idea into a new light, offering both a historical perspective and a relatable narrative for the average American.

Everyone she met on her travels would get a daffodil and a warm smile. She was known as the daffodil lady, and these were her daffodil days.

Today, our nation faces enormous challenges. I think Patrick Henry would repeat his admonition from 1775 and urge us to speak up, to join the debate. I am confident, too, that he would repeat his warning from 1799 that we must act with other citizens to seek reform “in a constitutional way;” the alternative is “monarchy,” which he had come to dread. 

All of this consternation highlights one of the unhealthiest aspects of American politics: the sheer importance we place on our chief executives, so much so that every presidential election in recent memory has been labeled “the most important in our lifetimes.” This, however, is not how our system of government was designed. The president was never supposed to be the center of national life – for good reason.

While the Pentagon has assured Congress that no U.S. military equipment sent to Ukraine has been diverted, stolen, or otherwise misappropriated, a new report from the Government Accountability Office could not determine if the Department of Defense was tracking allegations of misuse two years into the conflict.

Today, we are collectively running around with our hair on fire. It is hard to believe that conditions could have deteriorated so far so fast. What caused this?

Unfortunately, instead of using this opportunity to unite our nation, President Biden gave a caustic and divisive speech, in which he utilized false claims in an attempt to persuade the American people into believing America is stronger today than it was three years ago.

If immigration were beneficial for the economy, then America with its 46 million immigrant population, and unknown millions of illegal immigrants, the economy would be booming. Instead, little evidence exists that a higher, immigration-driven population translates to a richer economy.

I have hesitated to share this story in our weekly column. As a parent and grandparent, just typing this gives me a sick feeling in my stomach.

When Biden was caught on an open microphone following his State of the Union Address telling Democrat Sen. Michael Bennet of Colorado that Biden and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu were “going to have a come to Jesus meeting,” you have to wonder what he’s thinking.
