  • When the weather turns, permitting failure gets expensive

    We need a permitting framework that is rigorous but workable, environmentally responsible, and decisive. One that allows critical infrastructure to be evaluated thoroughly and then, once approved, actually built and put into service. And we need this framework today.
  • Muddy benefits
    Greg and I know how to take off our chore boots, or wipe our feet, when we return inside the cabin, but our dear dog does not. Muddy paw prints decorate the wooden floors.
  • Favoring your favorite sets them up badly
    Do your natural favorite a huge favor. Back off. Take a long-distance look at what you are doing. How you are treating all your kids. 
  • New tax relief
    As the tax filing season begins, Americans are seeing how the Working Families Tax Cuts are providing across-the-board tax relief that promises bigger paychecks and more opportunities to get ahead.
  • Acknowledging mistakes of the past
    As an enrolled member of the Chickasaw Nation of Oklahoma and the longest-serving Native American in the House of Representatives, I see it as my responsibility to educate and spread awareness about Tribal issues to not only my colleagues in Congress, but to all Americans.
  • Privilege
    For the last couple of weeks, the news has been non-stop about a certain person being missing, perhaps kidnapped. I am saddened that a certain person’s mother is missing, but how many other people have become missing during this time frame? 50? 100? 1,000? I have no way of knowing.  
  • The political reality of rising electricity prices
    While Democrats seem to think they have found a potent weapon with which to blame Republicans and Donald Trump for rising electricity prices, the facts tell a far different story. No amount of political spin will change those.
  • Republicans and Democrats are in revolt – for very different reasons
    Like the frustrated Republicans of a decade ago, today’s Democrats are furious at their elected official for the lack of change. But whereas the right is fighting to return quintessential American values to the fore, these leftists want to ditch those values altogether. Their vision can be summed up in one word: socialism.
  • Feckless Democrats stand for nothing
    While a majority of Americans – including Democrats, Republicans and Independents – support a photo ID as proof of citizenship, the House Democrats overwhelmingly rejected the idea. Why? It's either because of their severe anti-Trump affliction or they realize an awful lot of noncitizens are likely to vote for the party that promises open borders and more freebies for illegals. (Probably both.)
  • Balderson bill would define 'affordable, reliable, clean' energy in federal law
    The Affordable, Reliable, Clean Energy Security Act aims to restore common sense to American energy policy.
  • Two new books bash Covid-19 failures
    Zweig reports that the 6-foot social distancing between school students (mostly ignored in Europe) was based on a questionable interpretation of an 1897 German study of bacteria, not viruses. Anthony Fauci, who promoted the 6-foot social distancing that delayed school openings, admitted in later congressional testimony that it lacked empirical support.
  • Tippy, Chapter Six
    I decided I had to find Pete and Jim. I knew I would not be happy until I did. It can’t be that hard – the old chicken had given me the address. The next morning, I ask her if she knew where Ivy Hill Drive, Cincinnati, Ohio was. She stared at me and said, “west.”  
  • Obamacare did not lower costs; time for a better approach
    After more than a decade dealing with the so-called Affordable Care Act (aka “Obamacare”), Americans are still struggling with rising health care costs.
  • A sermon on Matthew 5:20-22
    You love God better through the sacrifices you make and sufferings you endure for another. Mildred would sometimes surprise me by cooking my favorite dish – Beefaroni. She called it "goulash." I hope it's on the menu at God's Heavenly Banquet.
  • Bread and circuses
    While we argue about grocery bills and pore over Epstein’s guest list, the country sleepwalks past immigration unrest, an AI job shock, and the real possibility of war in the Pacific. Bread. Circuses. And no one minding the empire.
  • America’s next frontier is building pro-innovation framework for digital assets
    With old, obstructionist politicians out of the way, it’s time for Congress to do its job: to pass market-structure legislation that provides clarity, stability, and vision for digital assets. We’ve done this before with electricity, aviation, and the internet.
