  • Bring back civility, decorum, character to colleges

    In this age of political violence and one-sided, parasocial relationships between online users and major online personalities, people are forgetting how to interact with each other in real life and respectfully disagree.
  • The left’s shutdown power play: Force GOP to do their dirty work
    Democrats have effectively gone on strike against democracy, with the ultimate goal of changing the rules to eventually achieve total victory for socialism. The stakes are high, higher than most Americans realize.
  • Poll: Majority of Americans favor voter ID requirement, split on mail-in voting ban

  • Gas-powered cars would have crushed EVs in the '80s and '90s
    Why is oil artificially expensive? The answer can be found in a U.S. dollar that is quite a bit weaker than it was when the Reagan and Clinton administrations both made a strong dollar their policy. Presidents generally get the dollar they want, and with the currency strong, commodities like oil that were priced in dollars were very cheap.
  • Senate Democrats can end the shutdown
    Today is my 12th vote on a clean, bipartisan funding bill to reopen the government. There's no policy in it. No spending changes. No gimmicks. Just a clean CR to keep the government open so that we can pay people, we can serve people, and we can progress with all of the other conversations that my colleagues want to have.
  • Rep. Troy Balderson's new ARC Energy Security Act smart legislation
    President Trump and his administration are doing great work to restore energy common sense, and another step toward a practical solution is at hand. Congressman Troy Balderson (R-OH-12) has introduced the Affordable, Reliable, Clean Energy Security Act of 2025, a bill that anchors energy policy in clear, evidence-based definitions of "affordable," "reliable," and "clean" aims to steer us toward stability and affordability.
  • Shutdowns never work
    As I have done every single day of this shutdown, I’d like to urge the Democrats to put aside the political games. It is time for them to put the American people first and join the Republicans in voting to open the government.
  • Empower the National Guard for cyber defense
    As cyber threats grow in scale and sophistication, America’s most critical and vulnerable systems - our power grids, water supplies, and gas pipelines - are increasingly in the crosshairs. These systems, known as Operational Technology (OT), are the invisible backbone of our daily lives – they’re what makes critical infrastructure, critical. 
  • Ohio House Bill 170 'a generational opportunity'
    Ohio has a generational opportunity to leverage its abundant energy resources while attracting new investment and helping to reduce emissions by embracing carbon capture, utilization and storage (CCUS) technology. 
  • Congress should miss their paychecks, too
    Ask yourself – would this shutdown even happen in the first place if members of Congress couldn’t make their own mortgage payments or pay their own rent? If they were scrambling to fill up their gas tanks or stay on their feet? Not a chance. If the American people have to feel the pain of a government shutdown, members of Congress should be in the foxhole with them.
  • Extended government shutdown puts 177 local Head Start/Early Head Start children and families at risk

  • A sermon on Luke 18:9-14
    Next year, I will be three quarters of a century old. I'm getting closer to that day when I will stand before God in judgment. I want this meeting to be a good experience. 
  • On the Moraine XXXIV
    Once I started to Hillsboro High School in the fall of 1964, I had access to the stores in Hillsboro, for the school bus took me there and back every school day. I was making a little money, earnings from helping neighbors put up hay, and I had an account at Farmers & Traders Bank.
  • Poll: Kamala Harris still Democratic favorite for 2028

  • If it’s worse than Watergate, why the silence?
    It seems like a real story – one that deserves the full attention of the press – but where are the special investigation teams at the New York Times and the Washington Post? What have you heard about this story on CBS, NBC, and ABC newscasts? Very little if anything. Certainly nothing in comparison to the coverage provided to Watergate.
  • Stock ban fight reflects clash between affluent and super rich
    Legislation that would bar elected officials from owning stocks reveals an additional fault line: supporters tend to be affluent white-collar professionals, while opponents made their millions by founding businesses and/or making investments on Wall Street, an investigation by The Center Square found.
