  • Speaking the truth on border, fentanyl crises is now ‘extremist’

    To say the Biden administration’s border policies have not resulted in more fentanyl in the United States is to deny the obvious. The extremists on this issue are those who would obstruct efforts to halt the importation of the fentanyl that is killing our fellow citizens. Their inability to put the welfare of our children above partisan politics is a great example of all that is rotten in Washington today.

  • Sen. Cassidy blasts Biden’s inflationary Davis-Bacon rule
    “This new rule would defy 40 years of precedent and disregard the nonpartisan GAO’s warning that this action would drastically inflate the price of construction,” said Dr. Cassidy. “This is the last thing our country needs as families continue to live with the painful effects of the Biden administration’s inflation agenda.”

  • Fact-checking media's biased 'fact-checkers'
    For the second time in three years, the Washington Post has quietly “updated” one of the most consequential fact checks in the history of American politics – its October 2020 article undercutting reports that Hunter Biden arranged a dinner meeting between one of his foreign business clients and his father, who was then vice president of the United States.
  • Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose comments on Issue 1
    “I’m grateful that nearly 1.3 million Ohioans stood with us in this fight, but this is only one battle in a long war. Unfortunately, we were dramatically outspent by dark money billionaires from California to New York, and the giant ‘for sale’ sign still hangs on Ohio’s constitution. Ohioans will see the devastating impact of this vote soon enough. " – Frank LaRose
  • Trump derangement at WAPO
    Those who study the Post's front pages over time might conclude that the newspaper – in its choice of story placement and the negative tone of the headlines – is out to get Trump. Or, conversely, out to boost Biden. Either way, they wouldn’t be far from wrong.

  • The most important decision in life
    My intellectual hero, St. Thomas Aquinas, said that if we want to live a happy life, we should love what Jesus loved on the cross and despise what he despised on the cross. What did he despise but all of those objects of false worship to which we tend to erect altars.
  • A sermon on Matthew 14:22-33
    Jesus not only walked on the water to save his disciples, but he walked on the dirty road to Golgotha to save us all. I believe Jesus fell three times because He was running to Golgotha to accomplish His Father's will and bring us home. 
  • Administration needs to stop sending mixed messages on energy production 
    The administration needs to stop sending mixed messages about energy production. One week they are asking U.S. companies for more supply and the next they are raising rates and fees to produce oil and natural gas. The administration should incentivize – not discourage – new energy production.
  • Neither Biden nor Trump are up to the country’s challenges
    But for the fact that the presidential election is still 15 months away, the widespread unhappiness with the prospect of a Trump-Biden rematch hasn’t yet turned into a full-blown panic. Assuming that those two do become the major party candidates, it will.

  • Charges against Trump hinge on what he believed and when
    Not included in the 45-page document? A smoking gun, according to Alan Dershowitz, Harvard Law professor emeritus. “They seem to have lots of people who are prepared to testify – who will testify – that Donald Trump actually believed that the election was stolen. He was wrong. He was dead wrong. But the Supreme Court of the United States has held repeatedly that there's no such thing as a false opinion under the First Amendment,” Dershowitz told the Hill Rising.
