  • Gov. Ron DeSantis takes inspiration from Calvin Coolidge

    Calvin Coolidge was not an ideologue, but rather believed in a conservative philosophy. In other words, he did not worship at the altar of free markets. Coolidge understood that it was important to place the good of the nation above ideology. Today’s Republican Party can learn a lesson from Coolidge.
  • The death of DEI
    DEI, we hardly knew ye. DEI is one of the fastest liberal concepts to come and go in nearly the same breath. Living in the bucolic lands of Highland County, you may never have had to encounter DEI. Lucky you.
  • 'It ain't the dying that's scary ... it's the killing'
    Standing on the cliff at Pointe du Hoc 60 years after D-Day, I encountered a German tourist at the same spot. He stepped aside in deference to me, an obvious American, and instructed his family to do the same. 
  • Getting serious about securing America’s borders
    Because of the Biden Administration’s open border policies, we have seen record influxes of migrants, illegal and dangerous drugs and bad actors across the southern border. In fact, last week the highest total migrant encounters for a single day ever was recorded at more than 12,000. 
  • This Bill of Rights Day, let’s celebrate the Preamble
    Although today we can find little to argue with in such beautiful – and familiar – language, at the time of its framing, and immediately after, the Preamble was the subject of much debate, all intimately tied to the deliberations that resulted in the Bill of Rights.
  • All about Lynchburg: Seeing a local legend and discussing an older one
    Now here at The Rock, there are two rules and only two rules. Rule No. 1: Obey all rules. Rule No. 2: There will be no writing on the walls. OK. This is not the Mayberry Jail. But here at The HCP, there is one rule: HCP Karma never fails.
  • A letter to Santa Claus: An 1870 Christmas Story 
    The star of this tale is little Maggie Dudley, and the story begins with a group of schoolgirls chatting about the upcoming holiday. So, without further eloquence, let’s go back to 1870. 
  • Wenstrup: World Health Organization bowed to Chinese interests, needs immediate reform
    Nothing is more important than global public health – and properly reforming the W.H.O. is the first step to that protection – so that our officials and our providers can better care for our citizens and establish best practices.
  • Economic angst in the heartland
    Bidenomics is failing America, infecting the land with a persistent and intensifying cynicism, despite attempts by the White House and a partisan press to impose misleading narratives on the electorate.
  • Biden Administration destabilized Middle East peace
    The Biden White House has sought to upend the Trump administration’s Middle East policy that had fostered the warming Israeli-Arab relations codified in the Abraham Accords; imperiled Iran’s mullahcracy through a maximum pressure campaign of which the Abraham Accords were one part, and overwhelming force, prudently applied, was another; and stood with the Jewish state against hostile and recalcitrant Palestinian Arab forces.
  • A sermon on John 1:6-8
    Christmas is not only the celebration of God's Love for all humans, but a command to humans to love all humans like He did. 
  • How tax-exempt nonprofits skirt U.S. law to turn out Democrat base
    “The liberal nonprofit sector is much bigger than the conservative nonprofit in the political arena,” said Bradley Smith, a former commissioner with the Federal Election Commission and founder of the conservative Institute for Free Speech.
  • Who is Sara Biden? 
    Sara Biden has drawn little attention until now. But court records and other documents show she has been a central player in the Biden family business for decades. They show how her and her husband’s desire for a lifestyle they could not quite afford has repeatedly led them to form relationships with shady figures and enterprises that often ended in lawsuits and even criminal investigations.
  • Deck the agency halls with federal workers
    Folks, it’s not the night before Christmas just yet, but through the halls of Washington, not a creature is stirring – not even a mouse. That’s because federal employees have dashed away and disappeared into the night.
  • Biden's EV strategy is not the silver bullet to reduce emissions
    EVs are not a realistic option for the majority of American families. According to recent research from CRES Forum, the average EV owner’s household income is over $100,000, which only equates to about 31% of U.S. households, and supply chain shortages have caused the prices of EVs to continue to rise. 
  • Short days in late autumn
    This morning when I woke up and looked out the loft window I could actually see the last few stars shining brightly down from a clear sky. The stars soon faded and the sun rose over the far hill, quickly warming our creek valley world.
