An Illinois election integrity advocate says President Donald Trump's recent address alleging intelligence failures and foreign interference in the 2020 election reinforces concerns her organization has documented for years about election administration in Illinois.

Overcoming the left’s whataboutism and snarky dismissal of resurgent communism requires inner strength, but it is essential that those who believe in America promote truth, win elections, and prosecute criminals.  The alternative is that communism will continue to gain traction, and that would be a disaster.

A little girl, maybe 8 years old, was standing alone at a rural bus stop during a February winter blizzard. No coat, no gloves, no money, no phone. She stood before the closed bus door shaking from the brutal winds turning her hair into icicles. 

When infrastructure is proposed for a specific large user, reporters should ask how much that user must pay, how long its commitment lasts and who is left holding the costs if the project never arrives as advertised.

Ladies and gentlemen, Paul Edward Turner’s story begins in 1931 in New Vienna, but his life’s work would become inseparably tied to a place just a few miles away — the historic Gist Settlement in Penn Township.

With current elected majorities locally, statewide and nationally – and with a crucial midterm election just a few months away – it almost seems as if the once Grand Old Party is feeling a bit too content with how things are. They best not be.

The more than 1,000 pages of diary entries made public by Sen. Paul Rand, R-Ky., show inconsistencies between Fauci’s public assertions and what he was thinking privately. Early 2020 entries show the lab leak theory was considered plausible very early on while Fauci publicly pushed the natural origin theory.

The Department of Commerce gave Intel $8.9 billion cash in return for 10% of the company. Well, here’s why I think Intel might have rinky-doo’d us. Intel just announced they were taking $5 billion of that. And you know what they’re doing with it? They’re building a chip manufacturing plant in Ireland. 

No doubt tomorrow will once again be hot and humid in the creek valley and Sirius will once again be overhead in the predawn dark, no longer hidden by the daylight, and by afternoon you'll be sure to find me, sitting with my bare feet in the creek, enjoying these dog days of summer.

The AFSCME Local 1632 has filed a grievance against Columbus because the city is using goats to clear brush at the Columbus Water & Power’s Southerly Water Reclamation Plant. As ancient Egyptians and early Ohio settlers knew, goats offer significant advantages over humans when it comes to clearing brush – they don’t take sick days, rarely complain, never need coffee breaks, and don’t scroll social media feeds while they’re on the clock.

Speaking of peanut butter cookies, a couple of weeks ago, I got a nice big box of homemade cookies from a young man on Pondlick Road. (You know who you are.) It was a pleasant surprise. Thank you. I think I will get a couple of those now.

Democrats are doing everything possible to invite fraud in our elections. While Tennessee leads the nation in election integrity measures, 14 states, including California, New York, Illinois, Massachusetts, and Minnesota, do not require any ID to vote.

The only way to bring down the cost of a new home is to increase our housing supply. I don’t care how cities do it, but they better get serious about cutting red tape if they want to keep the federal funding they have grown to love. The days of rewarding bad policies that make life too expensive for American families are over.

With too many trees and too few markets, we’re seeing our lumber supply chain impacted and the cost of paper products increase. But more seriously, we’re witnessing hard-working Americans lose their jobs.
