  • Who will your vote protect?

    You need to vote to protect the federal government before it is too late. Vote for federal fiscal responsibility, if you want to maintain your lifestyle in the future. For your children and grandchildren, the situation is even more dire if we continue down this path. 
  • My brother John
    John called me this past Monday afternoon. He was at home. He wanted me to know he had had a heart attack, and they had put in two stents. He was joking that he had never drank or smoked and mused as to whether he should have. 
  • Ohioans, you have an outsized job to do to save the Senate
    Imagine, if you would, Harris and Walz winning the election. Then, Vice President Walz is presiding officer in the U.S. Senate and has the sole power to break tie votes in the Senate.
  • I have a few questions
    The Left says President Trump is a threat to democracy and dangerous. Precisely what in his past behavior or present rhetoric makes him a threat to democracy? To whom is President Trump dangerous?
  • I can dream, can’t I?
    In this new scheme, much like the city manager form of local government works now, the president is charged with administering the federal government, not setting policy. The parties would put forth candidates based on their administrative qualities, nothing else.
  • I sold my soul to the company store
    Try to get inside Kamala Harris’s head for a minute. Here is a person close to grabbing the brass ring, who has never done anything in her life – never won a primary and never won a national election on her own. She will say anything, promise you anything to get your vote, for she knows on Nov. 6 (the day after the general election) she will not be held accountable.
  • Who do you trust? And more…
    I have grave suspicions about promises that are going to give me more money from the government, offer further environmental protections, and general protect weird stuff. Offering me money from the government is so disingenuous. That is taxpayer money that is being offered from the government; it is not fairy dust.  
  • What is the value of freedom of speech?
    Free speech is under attack around the world. The individual needs to be very careful about content, checking several sources if you can.
  • On Christ, the Solid Rock, I stand
    I thought I would take a bit of a pause here and offer some clarification on my recent and planned columns from now until November.
  • What’s next?
    No one could have predicted the events of the last 60 days in the 2024 presidential race. It once again reminds me of the spring of 1968 when President Johnson announced he wouldn’t run for re-election, and Martin Luther King Jr. and Bobby Kennedy were assassinated.  
  • Judging good and evil
    I read a set of phrases the other day I wish I could claim as my own: “If Donald Trump is so evil, didn’t he have four years already to be evil? If the Democrats are so good, they have been in charge for 12 of the last 16 years, haven’t they had time to do all the good they say they can?”
  • Violators of space, time, view and peace 
    Even the “freedom loving” Democrats know the average person likes things neat and orderly. This week, at the United Center, they kept the area inside where the cameras were neat and orderly. This despite the chaos less than 200 feet away outside their double- fenced sanctuary and their anything goes attitude. What hypocrites. And shame on the media for colluding with them.
  • There is no joy outside fence
    True to form, the normally fenceless, no ID Democrats have not one, but two fences around the United Center and you must show ID to get in. Totally opposite the policies they take toward our southern border and voter ID.
  • Get thee to an economics class
    Now Kamala Harris has come out with price controls, allegedly to stop inflation. They didn’t work for Nixon; in fact, they caused inflation. They haven’t worked for New York City (rent controls), going back to just after World War II. It is not surprising she (or her handlers) came up with these. After all, not that many columns ago I remarked that governments are the only legal monopolies. Price controls are like monopolies; hence, what government employees understand.
  • Maybe we don’t need an executive branch
    Let me get this straight. Joe Biden is too feeble to be president. Kamala Harris has been vice president, but claims that she will do great things for us when elected to the presidency. Haven’t these two been in charge since Jan. 20, 2021?
  • The government stole the pleasure of generosity
    We tell children it is more blessed to give than to receive. Then, by the time we become adults we forget this wise saying. Why?
