  • Honoring the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

    Today, we pause as a nation to remember and honor the life and legacy of one of America’s most consequential civil rights leaders. A Baptist minister, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was a man of faith who fought for civil rights through nonviolent resistance.
  • Like clockwork
    My heart stood still. The 100-year-old green turret clock stood shoulder high amid hundreds of other smaller clocks inside Taylor's Fine Timepieces. I had no reason to fall instantly in love, other than that the clock's strong beat sounded like music to my ears.
  • Delivering wins
    Today, under President Trump, the border is now secure. Average daily encounters are down 95%. For seven consecutive months, U.S. Border Patrol released zero illegal aliens into our country. The difference at the border is night and day. President Biden said he needed new laws to secure the border. Turns out, all we needed was a new president.
  • Providing for our national defense
    At the Republican National Convention nearly 46 years ago, President Ronald Reagan reflected on the importance of providing for a strong U.S. military when he said, “We know only too well that war comes not when the forces of freedom are strong, but when they are weak. It is then that tyrants are tempted.”
  • Apparel maker not entitled to commercial activity tax refund
    The Supreme Court of Ohio today upheld the imposition of the Ohio commercial activity tax (CAT) on $108 million of merchandise shipped to DSW’s Columbus distribution center before items were sent to stores both in and out of Ohio.
  • Chaos by design
    If Democrats truly cared about safety, about de-escalation, about justice, they would stop encouraging resistance and obstruction. They would tell their supporters the truth: you don’t get to decide, in the moment, which laws you’ll obey and which officers you’ll recognize as legitimate. These incidents don’t have to happen. They are not inevitable. They are manufactured—by irresponsible rhetoric, by mob interference, and by a political class more interested in chaos than consequences.
  • Two good men
    The lesson for me is this: there are always young eyes watching. We all have the power to influence them for good or for bad, often without realizing it. Marvin Wilson and Jim Dandy Cumberland were both kind to me and left a positive impression.
  • A sermon on John 1: 29-34
    Jesus will ask you this question at your judgment. "What have you done to show my love?" Prepare now to give Jesus a good answer.
  • President Trump is rooting out fraud, restoring accountability
    How could this happen? How did no one notice? The answer is simple. Much of the fraud was committed by members of Minnesota's Somali community, which maintains close ties to the state's Democrat machine – so Democrats appear to have looked the other way.
  • Another message on a bottle, Part 1
    Ladies and gentlemen, when I was just a lad, I was fascinated with old, glass bottles. Now, I never bought any old bottles for my “collection,” they were “discovered” around the family farm – quite a few of them were tucked away in an old outhouse. 
  • Investing in rural health benefits patients and providers
    The Healthy Eating, Active Recreation, and Transformation (HEART) program will improve health outcomes through community-driven approaches that focus on nutrition and physical activity.
  • Iran: Is this a revolution?
    As the country enters its third week of uprisings the mullahs have shut down the internet and even landlines. Nevertheless, shocking images have been trickling into the western media outlets following this weekend’s bloodbath.
  • The man who lit the Washington Monument like a candle
    There is nowhere to hide at the base of the Washington Monument. And so, on the early-early morning of New Year’s Eve, a gregarious but bleary-eyed video producer from Florida named Kyle Barrett shifted side to side, bracing against a bitter wind while waiting on edits from senior administration officials. In less than 24 hours the obelisk would be bathed in moving light.
  • Defending America’s interests
    Strength at the border, accountability abroad, and fair trade at home remain essential to protecting U.S. security and prosperity in the years ahead, and I look forward to continuing my work on these issues.
  • Tippy, Chapter Two
    It was early August 1968. Pete and I were walking back from the briar patch after an unsuccessful hunt.
  • Sen. Kennedy calls for welfare reform to address Minnesota fraud: 'Do another reconciliation bill'
    When people steal this money, this $1 trillion-plus a year that we spend helping our neighbors, when people steal that money, it offends me. When they steal from the poor, and they steal from the American taxpayer, it offends me equally. And the folks in Minnesota and elsewhere who stole this money, who took a giant whiz – a giant great Dane whiz – down the leg of every taxpayer and every poor person in America, every one of them ought to go to jail.
