The crew of the space shuttle Challenger honored us by the manner in which they lived their lives. We will never forget them, nor the last time we saw them, this morning, as they prepared for their journey and waved goodbye and “slipped the surly bonds of earth’’ to “touch the face of God.’’ – President Ronald Reagan

This week, we celebrate National School Choice Week. As a senator, common-sense education policy is a top priority.

Former Democrat President Barack Hussein Obama was often called the "Deporter-in-Chief," as the Obama administration removed more than 3 million illegal aliens over eight years, the highest number in U.S. history. I cannot recall much of anything even discussed about Obama's millions and millions of deportations of illegal aliens. No protests. No riots against law enforcement.

My wife still remembers seeing the number in her third-grade classroom. Not a lesson plan. Not a textbook chapter. A tattoo on her teacher’s forearm – the mark the Nazis used after reducing a human being to inventory.

Folks, you are not your body, you have deeper things to worry about than that. You have a spirit that needs real care. Take care of that body, definitely. But more importantly, take care of your spirit.

The good news is that the lights are likely to stay on for most of us this week. The less comforting news is that Americans are about to pay a lot more for electricity anyway — not because the grid fails, but because of how we now power it.

Have you ever had the experience that you love someone but struggle to like them? When you love someone you care for them, sacrifice for them, and want only the best for them. Love is not just a feeling, but a commitment to be with another in good times and in bad. 

When I got to the end of the lane, there was nothing but empty buildings. No people, no animals, the corncribs were empty, nothing. They had left, and the only thing left was Buttons’ old doghouse, which I had used. I was completely dejected. They really had gone to Cincinnati, wherever that is.

The Democratic establishment sees mass immigration as the path to secure permanent rule, with much of the radical left expecting immigrants to force America to abandon its traditional values.

Regular physical activity supports more than healthy bodily development. It also plays an important role in mental health, helping reduce stress, build confidence and foster resilience in young people.

This morning, I woke up and looked out the window at our creek valley world. Snow had started falling and was quickly accumulating. There was deep white everywhere I looked.

Pro-life groups celebrate the 53rd annual March for Life event in the wake of a Knights of Columbus-Marist Poll showing that most Americans support legal limits on abortion.

On Jan. 19, 2026, a group of activists (thugs) intruded upon Cities Church in St. Paul, Minnesota, because a local ICE official serves as a pastor there. Approximately 30 hours later and 1,772 miles to the southeast, the College Football Championship was played at 347 Don Shula Drive, otherwise known as Hard Rock Stadium, in Miami, Florida.  

The new evidence suggests that Comey wasn’t acting alone. It indicates that Obama was more involved in the Clinton probe than previously reported and that Comey, whose entire family supported Clinton, may have pulled his punches to placate the incumbent president and avoid getting on the wrong side of the woman he assumed would be Obama’s successor.
