Children's Hospital is a sacred place. I not only feel God's presence, but I see God present everywhere. I see God present on every floor and in every room. 

I was completely flabbergasted and dejected. I had not planned on this. I needed a new plan. I decided to stay in my old doghouse until I could get my thoughts together.

All politics is national. And Democrats have ingrained politics into every part of their voters’ lives. They are defying tradition by finding a way to be at a fever pitch around the clock. It now must be recognized for what it is: an obvious GOTV tactic, whatever the merits of a given cause, be it abortion or “undocumented migrants.”

Some folks plan ahead. We don't, or perhaps you could say that we plan not to plan ahead, but more likely that's just how I like to think of it. Rather than gather up a winter's supply of firewood before the fall temperatures drop, we wait for that first cool day, and only then head out into the woods.

The Pentagon’s move to boost Patriot PAC-3 production from roughly 600 to 2,000 interceptors a year is a welcome start, but it is not enough. Even with this increase, the United States remains behind the curve. Washington and its partners must rapidly expand production and rebuild magazines of key munitions and interceptors, including proven Israeli systems.

Democrats are using the threat of yet another government shutdown to force sweeping policy changes that would sharply curtail federal immigration enforcement. Some of their demands even contradict long-standing Democratic positions on federal supremacy in immigration. But Democrats have one goal in mind: Stop Trump from deporting illegal aliens.

Life is hard. Don’t let hopelessness make your life even harder. Believe in your tomorrow. Even in the bad times.

We have people rioting now who either don’t know recent history or choose to ignore it.  

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.
