  • Moving along on the appropriations process

    Unlike Democrats, we understand we have a job to do, and we cannot just proceed with out-of-touch policies and the out-of-control spending that led to record-high inflation and a weak economy. With just a few more funding bills left to mark up and with bills beginning to pass the full House, we are making progress toward fulfilling our commitment.
  • Gov. Noem welcomes Trump to South Dakota, fuels VP speculation
    Donald Trump will travel to Rapid City in September, leaving the campaign trail to attend the South Dakota Republican Party’s “Monumental Leaders Rally.”
  • A sermon on the Transfiguration
    The Transfiguration was the greatest of all spiritual experiences. A spiritual experience is a powerful awareness of God's presence. It's like feeling His love enfolding you in a warm blanket right out of the dryer on a cold day. It feels so good. 
  • Border surge creates tuberculosis threat
    The Biden administration remains indifferent to the harmful effect its immigration agenda has on U.S. citizens. Admitting migrants with an infectious, transmittable disease like tuberculosis is the latest proof of White House callousness and disregard for Americans.
  • Bob Hodson: He cared for us; indeed, how he loved us
    Inquire of anyone who has lived in Highland County over this past three quarters of a century and they can give you endless examples of how this good man blessed us all. How he made all of us better. How he cared for us. Indeed, how he loved us.
  • It’s Year 5 of the Biden crime family coverup
    Imagine if Congress had opened an inquiry then into the question of Hunter Biden’s huge salary for sitting on the board of Burisma Energy, the company controlled by oligarch Zlochevsky. Hunter Biden might be in prison now, and his father would have retired to Delaware to live out his final years in shame. Instead, Democrats in Congress put Trump on trial for daring to notice that which must not be named – the influence-peddling scheme run by Joe Biden and his kin.
  • What did we used to do?
    In today’s world, it feels like many are coming at us telling us what to do, how to think, and throwing a guilt trip at us if we don’t do as they tell us.  
  • Godspeed, Bob Hodson: 1927-2023
    Bob will always exemplify the can-do spirit of American entrepreneurship and community leadership. He did so much for Highland County. More than most of us will ever know. Godspeed, my friend. You will be missed. Thank you for every word of encouragement.
  • Fighting back against illicit fentanyl
    Fentanyl is unfortunately an evil our nation continues to struggle with. In Missouri and across the country, lives continue to be taken by this deadly poison that has devastated communities and families alike. Just two milligrams – the size of 10-15 grains of table salt – is enough to take an adult life.
  • Protecting Ohio farmland and technology from China
    This week we passed the National Defense Authorization Act in the Senate. It’s the bill we pass every year to get resources to our military and to protect our national security.
  • The Chinese Communist Party is rewriting the Bible
    The 10-year project to rewrite the Bible, Quran and other sacred texts is all part of Xi Jinping’s quest to make the faithful serve the party rather than God. 
  • Los Angeles Unified Schools' $18 billion budget won’t save district
    In what is certain to be financial history’s worst-ever return on investment, the Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD) unanimously approved an $18.8 billion budget.
  • America's two-tiered system of justice cannot stand
    How many more conservatives must have their Constitutional rights violated before Christopher Wray and Merrick Garland are removed from their positions? We are running out of time to restore trust in our federal law enforcement agencies and running out of patience with the stonewalling of agency leaders.
  • The truth is out there
    “You are being manipulated. But you already know that,” Ellmers writes. You might wonder what technological and social media-influenced manipulations have to do with political life; in reality, it has to do with everything. As Ellmers writes, “...Americans are lied to on a daily basis – by corporate advertisers, medical hucksters and spiritual charlatans, the sensationalist media, and of course the authorities in government.”
  • Whistleblower Appreciation Day July 30
    Whistleblowers play a crucial role by shining light on wrongdoing. As co-founder and co-chair of the Senate Whistleblower Protection Caucus, I reintroduced a bipartisan resolution to designate July 30 as “National Whistleblower Appreciation Day” for the 10th consecutive year. 
  • Conservatives fight secretive Biden voting order as 'Bidenbucks' 
    GOP lawmakers and other conservative critics are working to expose and fight a secretive executive order by President Biden to expand voter participation in elections, which they suspect has become a powerful government-wide complement to private left-wing election financing that could tip the 2024 campaign illegally and unfairly in Democrats’ favor.
