  • Ode to an old dog

    We know that you know that things just aren't quite the same anymore, but we also know that you know that we love you. You know that we will always stay close by your side, just as you have stayed by ours all these years.
  • Biden’s polling numbers continue to tank: Three reasons he’s losing support
    No matter which way you slice it, Biden’s policies have harmed Americans since he’s taken office. If we want a thriving economy, unleashed American energy, and secured borders, Biden is absolutely not the man to vote for come November 2024, and his abysmal polling numbers show it. 
  • Yes, talking heads, we ARE paying attention
    Sorry, Democrats. Sorry, Joe Biden. Sorry, congressional dead weights of both parties. Sorry, elites and talking heads. We have been paying attention, and we are coming for you. You can’t hide behind your fake narrative any longer. The truth has set us free.
  • A Christmas story
    Christmas is just not a date on the calendar, but a way of life. The comedian Bob Hope once said, “My idea of Christmas is very simple: loving others. Come to think of it, why do we have to wait for Christmas to do that?”
  • Protecting Ohio from fentanyl trafficking
    One of the best ways we can support Ohio law enforcement is to stop fentanyl at its source, before it enters the country and before it reaches our communities.
  • The Boston Tea Party at 250
    On this anniversary of the Tea Party, as we begin the 250th celebration of the American Revolution, we ought to begin, once again, to think seriously about what it means to live in a democratic republic, and how we might sustain it for another 250 years.
  • First State Bank partners with Bright Local Schools
    I am writing to express our sincere gratitude to First State Bank for their incredibly generous donation in support of the digital sign project at Whiteoak Junior High/High School. 
  • Standing up against the EV revolution
    In yet another attack on consumer rights, the Biden Administration’s Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) proposed an aggressive de facto mandate for two-thirds of all new vehicles to be electric in less than 10 years. This ban on the sale of gasoline-powered cars and the mandate for the sale of EVs is just another part of Biden’s radical Green New Deal agenda.
  • No more tax dollars for corrupt climate groups
    I’m happy to say Sen. Eric Schmitt introduced a companion to my bill in the U.S. Senate. As elected representatives, we owe the American people sound decision-making, especially when it comes to spending. There should be a reasonable return on investment, whether it’s supporting our farmers or protecting our allies.
  • Gov. Ron DeSantis takes inspiration from Calvin Coolidge
    Calvin Coolidge was not an ideologue, but rather believed in a conservative philosophy. In other words, he did not worship at the altar of free markets. Coolidge understood that it was important to place the good of the nation above ideology. Today’s Republican Party can learn a lesson from Coolidge.
  • The death of DEI
    DEI, we hardly knew ye. DEI is one of the fastest liberal concepts to come and go in nearly the same breath. Living in the bucolic lands of Highland County, you may never have had to encounter DEI. Lucky you.
  • 'It ain't the dying that's scary ... it's the killing'
    Standing on the cliff at Pointe du Hoc 60 years after D-Day, I encountered a German tourist at the same spot. He stepped aside in deference to me, an obvious American, and instructed his family to do the same. 
  • Getting serious about securing America’s borders
    Because of the Biden Administration’s open border policies, we have seen record influxes of migrants, illegal and dangerous drugs and bad actors across the southern border. In fact, last week the highest total migrant encounters for a single day ever was recorded at more than 12,000. 
  • This Bill of Rights Day, let’s celebrate the Preamble
    Although today we can find little to argue with in such beautiful – and familiar – language, at the time of its framing, and immediately after, the Preamble was the subject of much debate, all intimately tied to the deliberations that resulted in the Bill of Rights.
  • All about Lynchburg: Seeing a local legend and discussing an older one
    Now here at The Rock, there are two rules and only two rules. Rule No. 1: Obey all rules. Rule No. 2: There will be no writing on the walls. OK. This is not the Mayberry Jail. But here at The HCP, there is one rule: HCP Karma never fails.
  • A letter to Santa Claus: An 1870 Christmas Story 
    The star of this tale is little Maggie Dudley, and the story begins with a group of schoolgirls chatting about the upcoming holiday. So, without further eloquence, let’s go back to 1870.
