  • Old man?

    I hugged my dear man. We might not be really old quite yet, but when we are, we will be ready.
  • Farmers, ranchers deserve data privacy, fair markets
    Data on climate and weather, land, livestock and yield are valuable. My bill would require producers’ approval before any company uses their data.
  • Sen. Barrasso lays out difference between common-sense Republicans and 'crazy' Democrats
    So let’s take a look at first what Republicans have done. We have secured the border for the nation. We blocked a $4 trillion tax increase. And we’ve eliminated taxes on tips, taxes on Social Security, taxes on overtime. At the same time, these Democrat candidates have come out with a manifesto. And their manifesto calls for raising taxes on American families to pay for healthcare for illegal immigrants. 
  • Sen. Dr. Rand Paul introduces Six Penny Plan to balance federal budget
    U.S. Senator Dr. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) has introduced the Six Penny Plan, a federal budget resolution that will balance on-budget outlays and revenues within five years by cutting six cents off every dollar projected to be spent over the next five fiscal years.
  • Potpourri 
    The Democrats have managed to gather all sorts of characters under their tent, all not good for the overall health of the country. Democratic Socialists, Muslims, Abolitionist Movement (seeks to replace or substantially dismantle existing systems of policing, prisons and incarceration), Green New Deal activists, and anti-capitalists activists.  
  • In the name of God, just work together
    Sometimes, a little common sense and cooperation ought to prevail. I like to think that it used to. For those keeping up with the Sonner Chapel saga in East Danville – or suburban Winkle – if you prefer, it seems to me that a little cooperation could resolve the matter in a day or two.
  • Panelists debate future of U.S. electricity markets amid rising demand
    The American Enterprise Institute’s virtual roundtable examined the advantages and shortcomings of the economic and regulatory models that have delivered the nation's electricity industry for decades.
  • GOP lawmakers push to designate CAIR as a foreign terrorist organization
    Several key Congressional Republicans are urging the Trump administration to consider designating the Council on American-Islamic Relations, a group that promotes Muslim rights, as a foreign terrorist organization, with U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz calling for an FTO designation last week. 
  • '60 Minutes' airs misleading report on Trump pardons
    During his final hours in office, President Bill Clinton signed a flurry of pardons that led to a years-long scandal that found his own brother, Roger Clinton, had accepted hundreds of thousands of dollars to lobby for pardons, as did brothers of first lady Hillary Clinton and an attorney who worked on her Senate campaign that year. 
  • Bobby Kennedy keeps me in the Trump column
    Flawed or not, Donald Trump is the perfect leader for our time.
  • A sermon on Philippians 2:6-7
    God loves us so much He sent to earth His Son Jesus who emptied out all the glory of His Divinity and took on the limitations of a human.
  • The mother of the SAVE Act
    The SAVE Act has passed the House four times but has stalled in the Senate, where Republican leaders say they do not have the votes to overcome a Democratic filibuster – or, as President Trump has urged, get rid of the filibuster.
  • Control of Senate might hinge on liberal Muslim in Michigan
    Democratic hopes of taking control of the U.S. Senate in the upcoming midterm elections are heavily dependent on retaining an open seat in Michigan.
  • Targeting fraud
    The U.S. Government Accountability Office reported the federal government loses an estimated $233 billion to $521 billion annually to fraud. Fraud robs taxpayers and weakens confidence in federal programs. We must be vigilant in closing gaps in fraud prevention.
  • Everyday Economics: Fed is betting the economy can absorb higher rates
    The Federal Reserve raised interest rates last week for the first time since 2023, lifting its target range by a quarter point to 3.75%–4.00%. The vote was unanimous. Before the meeting, I had two questions. We now have answers.
  • Life
    I remember the day that the large downtown cathedral was filled to overflowing. He had written his own eulogy for his son to read. He spoke to us, through his son, who stood in the pulpit, his father's words on a piece of paper before him. Those words still live in my heart.
