Don’t let scammers steal the joy of the holidays. Being aware of practices thieves use to steal our money and what to look out for will keep us one step ahead of these evolving schemes and keep us safe.

One down. Two to go. This is only the very beginning of addressing the pervasive rot of antisemitism that has destroyed the most “prestigious” higher education institutions in America. 

It used to be we treated the words of politicians with skepticism and the words of scientists as the truth. Now we do not discern the source – all may be lies. And just perhaps this starts with what we tell our kids at the high Holy holidays. Think about it and think about what you are telling your kids this Christmas.

The world will be safer and more just when Hamas is not in it. By supporting Israel’s efforts, Americans are helping to ensure an attack like Oct. 7 never happens again.

President Biden has staked much of his presidency and next campaign on the hype of electrical vehicles (EVs). Not surprisingly, he’s spent a lot of time trying to prop up the industry and force consumer demand when it fails to meet his expectations.

With the two counties' differing views, there is concern for fair, safe elections with integrity. I would like to request that the Secretary of State Department investigates the recounting of the Highland County Lynchburg-Clay Local School District Board of Education Election.

Two brave IRS whistleblowers, Gary Shapley and Joseph Ziegler, placed their careers on the line to blow the whistle on misconduct and politicization in the Hunter Biden criminal investigation. 

From ancient Egypt to medieval England, cultivating one or more crops in the same field was common practice among many farmers for thousands of years. However, in the last century, food producers largely stopped ‘intercropping’ and moved towards an industrial type of agriculture – a shift that contributed to 34% of the world’s farmland being degraded today. 

Despite spiraling deficits – almost $2 trillion in the fiscal year that ended this past October – green energy subsidies will be financed with still more government debt. With the increase in interest rates to normal levels, financing costs will soar, adding an estimated $500 to $800 billion to the bill costs, almost as much as the subsidies themselves. 

An emboldened Iran will only lead to more chaos across the Middle East. Our country must continue to tighten sanctions, expand the Abraham Accords and become more meaningfully engaged in the region militarily and diplomatically to prevent these acts of terror from worsening and becoming more lethal.

Tragically, we were unprepared for what happened at Pearl Harbor — contrary to George Washington’s well-known maxim of peace through strength. But out of the evil and the ashes of Pearl Harbor has come this reminder of how God’s amazing grace is greater than all man’s evil.

Last year, Bloomberg reported on forensic evidence connecting Shein’s cotton to a Chinese region notorious for government-operated forced labor camps. When asked, Shein didn’t dispute Bloomberg’s findings. Company representatives simply said they “comply with local laws and regulations.” That means next to nothing when dealing with the Chinese Communist Party.

If you guys are going to use the financial power that you've accumulated to go to war against the values of our voters, impoverish our constituents who rely on cheap energy and destroy the jobs of people who work in the energy sector, why should we listen to you when you come and ask us for a tax break or for reasonable regulations?

Electric vehicles are not nearly as popular as their advocates would have had us believe, as sales are now slumping in the face of rising interest rates and a lack of so-called fast chargers.

Ladies and gentlemen, we’ve discussed how the Rev. Joseph McDowell Mathews, a pioneer of Highland County education, left Hillsboro in late 1860 and moved to Kentucky. Specifically, the Mathews family relocated to Nicholasville, Ky., where the Rev. Mathews took charge of the Jessamine Female College.
