    Ohio regulators continue piecemeal approach to HB 6 cases despite calls for big picture review

    Newly revealed documents show Gov. DeWine played a larger role in soliciting money from FirstEnergy executives than was previously known. FirstEnergy and its affiliates gave roughly $4 million to dark money groups supporting DeWine and Husted’s 2018 campaigns. Less than a month before the election, DeWine texted Chuck Jones, then CEO of FirstEnergy, to set up a call. Three days later, Mike Dowling, then a FirstEnergy vice president, texted Jones to let DeWine know $500,000 was going to a dark money group called State Solutions.

    Fighting to end the border crisis
    Unimaginable things are unfolding across the country because of the Biden Administration’s disastrous open border policies.

    Do elections really have consequences?
    Joe Biden and Donald Trump must be the candidates for president in the November election. The American people have chosen these two candidates. If elections do have consequences and democracy is at stake, then the will of the people must be heard. Anything short of that would violate the concept of “We the People.”

    When it comes to Israel, Biden’s policy is politics

    Marigolds
    I am now glad to report that almost two months have passed since my scattering, and that every single one of those thousands of seeds has sprouted and happily grown. My old friends now comprise what is assuredly the most dense patch of marigolds you could ever imagine.

    We got Islamism wrong
    Coupled with other current policy failures and gaps, the lights are once again blinking red. Indeed, it is no wonder that several ISIS-linked individuals were apprehended trying to enter the United States illegally through the southern border; the only surprise is why it took this long.

    Biden said ‘Watch Me;’ the world just did
    Each exchange was met with a silence unprecedented in the history of presidential debate. There was no audience inside the debate hall, and in another historic first, a mute button had been installed on each candidate’s microphone to prevent interruptions. The side-by-side image of the two men may be the enduring image of the night: A smirking Trump and a slack-jawed Biden.

    Who is running the United States?
    Watching the train wreck, er, debate, I couldn't help but at some point hope one of the debate moderators would borrow a line from "Billy Madison:" Mr. Biden, At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

    Texas leaders blast Biden after debate
    Multiple news organizations said Trump handily won the debate and was poised to win in November.

    Can Democrats replace Biden? It’s complicated
    Right after the debate, MSNBC’s Nicole Wallace acknowledged that frank conversations were occurring among party leaders and inside Biden’s circle about whether the president should “be in this race tomorrow morning.” One senior Democratic operative told RCP he and his colleagues were rattled to the core and expressed concern that even the cable network most sympathetic to the president was discussing whether the party should replace him on the ticket.

    Reimagining the arsenal of democracy
    Washington will always argue about when to use our arsenal of democracy. But there should be no debate about guaranteeing to the American people, our allies, and our adversaries (a) that the arsenal will always be there for us, and (b) that it always works as intended when called upon. Today it’s not, and it doesn’t.
