  • Tax season is here – and you will now keep more of what you earn

    It is officially tax filing season. As a fellow American who has gone through the daunting task of filing my taxes year after year, I know how dreadful this can be. However, this year, Republicans and President Trump hope to have turned this dread into relief.
  • Meta’s nuclear bet an endorsement of Trump’s energy vision
    Donald Trump’s call for “American energy dominance” once drew eyerolling from Silicon Valley. Now, in a twist no one saw coming, Meta and other big-tech AI giants are beginning to embrace Trump’s energy vision.
  • A Texas political shock Republicans can’t ignore
    Democrat Taylor Rehmet trounced his Republican opponent by over 14 points – a 31-point swing since the 2024 election. The results have sent shock waves through the Texas Republican establishment.
  • A sermon on Matthew 5:13-16
    Children's Hospital is a sacred place. I not only feel God's presence, but I see God present everywhere. I see God present on every floor and in every room. 
  • Tippy, Chapter Five
    I was completely flabbergasted and dejected. I had not planned on this. I needed a new plan. I decided to stay in my old doghouse until I could get my thoughts together.
  • How Democrats have mastered modern elections
    All politics is national. And Democrats have ingrained politics into every part of their voters’ lives. They are defying tradition by finding a way to be at a fever pitch around the clock. It now must be recognized for what it is: an obvious GOTV tactic, whatever the merits of a given cause, be it abortion or “undocumented migrants.”
  • Enough firewood?
    Some folks plan ahead. We don't, or perhaps you could say that we plan not to plan ahead, but more likely that's just how I like to think of it. Rather than gather up a winter's supply of firewood before the fall temperatures drop, we wait for that first cool day, and only then head out into the woods.
  • U.S. interceptors are depleted, making Iran decision difficult
    The Pentagon’s move to boost Patriot PAC-3 production from roughly 600 to 2,000 interceptors a year is a welcome start, but it is not enough. Even with this increase, the United States remains behind the curve. Washington and its partners must rapidly expand production and rebuild magazines of key munitions and interceptors, including proven Israeli systems.
  • Democrats using shutdown threat to rewrite immigration enforcement
    Democrats are using the threat of yet another government shutdown to force sweeping policy changes that would sharply curtail federal immigration enforcement. Some of their demands even contradict long-standing Democratic positions on federal supremacy in immigration. But Democrats have one goal in mind: Stop Trump from deporting illegal aliens.
  • Hopelessness kills
    Life is hard. Don’t let hopelessness make your life even harder. Believe in your tomorrow. Even in the bad times.
  • Troops deployed during previous 'protests'
    We have people rioting now who either don’t know recent history or choose to ignore it.  
  • 'Slipped the surly bonds of Earth;' Reagan’s Challenger address
    The crew of the space shuttle Challenger honored us by the manner in which they lived their lives. We will never forget them, nor the last time we saw them, this morning, as they prepared for their journey and waved goodbye and “slipped the surly bonds of earth’’ to “touch the face of God.’’ – President Ronald Reagan
  • Celebrating National School Choice Week
    This week, we celebrate National School Choice Week. As a senator, common-sense education policy is a top priority.
  • Where was the liberal outrage then?
    Former Democrat President Barack Hussein Obama was often called the "Deporter-in-Chief," as the Obama administration removed more than 3 million illegal aliens over eight years, the highest number in U.S. history. I cannot recall much of anything even discussed about Obama's millions and millions of deportations of illegal aliens. No protests. No riots against law enforcement.
  • The number on her arm: Remembering the Holocaust when the witnesses are gone
    My wife still remembers seeing the number in her third-grade classroom. Not a lesson plan. Not a textbook chapter. A tattoo on her teacher’s forearm – the mark the Nazis used after reducing a human being to inventory.
  • Mirrors and eyes tell the truth
    Folks, you are not your body, you have deeper things to worry about than that. You have a spirit that needs real care. Take care of that body, definitely. But more importantly, take care of your spirit.
