  • A sermon on Luke 12:13-21

    I am in awe of the parents at Cincinnati Children's who sacrifice everything to see their child live. I remember a father telling me, "Whatever my daughter needs, I give. I would sacrifice myself gladly so she can live." There is a special place in Heaven for that father.
  • On the Moraine, Part XXII
    The McNary Farm (164 acres) and the Beaver Farm (286 acres) put us right at 450 acres, with about half tillable. Welcome to the concept of dirt rich and cash poor.
  • Dear New Yorkers: Consider moving to Dallas, Texas
    The rise of socialist New York mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani has highlighted a fundamental truth that I learned as a former Democratic elected official: the Democratic Party never learns.
  • The other fentanyl threat requires readiness
    It’s the nightmare scenario few in Washington want to talk about – and even fewer are prepared to confront – and that is the use of illicit fentanyl as a weapon.
  • Energy-rich Ohio has a generational opportunity
    Energy-rich Ohio has a generational opportunity to secure the industries and jobs of tomorrow, benefiting Ohioans for decades to come. To keep pace with this development, Ohio must continue supporting an all-of-the-above energy strategy.
  • Notice to HCP readers, advertisers

    The Spectrum email account for The Highland County Press has been down periodically since Sunday, July 27.

  • Everyday Economics: Fed decision looms as private hiring weakens
    This week starts with a look into the rear view mirror with JOLTS data (job openings, layoffs, quits) for the month of June. Job openings are expected to have decreased from recent levels, while quits are expected to remain low – a sign of reduced worker confidence.
  • An uneventful childhood
    With gray in his beard, he passed away at the age of 63 in July of 1885. One and a half million people lined the streets of New York City to pay their respects. Two Union and two Confederate generals were among his pallbearers. Union and Confederate officers rode together in the procession that stretched for seven miles, all for a boy, grown into a man, who described his childhood as uneventful.
  • Why the budget law is tailored to help Ohio workers and families
    Standing by while the 2017 tax cuts expired would have devastated Ohio family budgets. The average American family of four earning $80,000 would have owed an extra $1,700 in federal taxes, but the savings we delivered for an Ohio household is even bigger: $2,140 on average.
  • Looking back: School’s right to prohibit offensive clothing upheld
    Twenty-five years ago on July 26, a federal appeals court ruled that a Van Wert High School administrator’s prohibition of an objectionable T-shirt didn’t violate a student’s constitutional rights.
  • The One Big Beautiful Bill Act, Trump’s trade policy will do what ‘Bidenomics’ never could
    For four years, Democrats in Washington pushed a reckless tax-and-spend agenda known as “Bidenomics” that blew a hole in the U.S.’s national debt. More than $10 trillion later, and along with 20 percent inflation that federal spending created, our nation is at a fiscal crossroads.
  • Another bust?
    Every crisis is doom, and we’ll never get out of it. Then there is a pronouncement that there are no solutions, learn to live with it. Then a new solution is found by bright people who have figured out a way to make money solving the problems of energy shortages.
  • How Obama admin turned ‘unverifiable’ report into Russiagate dynamite
    Brennan insisted analysts reference a since-debunked dossier funded by Clinton's campaign as a bullet point in the main body of the ICA to support the Putin-helped-Trump conclusion. This judgment was the most radioactive finding in the ICA and laid the foundation for several investigations of Trump and several of his advisers for allegedly "colluding" with Russia. A special counsel found no evidence that any of them conspired with Russia.
  • Epstein vs. Russiagate
    While the Epstein saga is a tawdry kerfuffle with no larger significance, the new revelations about the Russia hoax provide scorching detail on one of the biggest political scandals in American history. Guess which one the legacy media is running with? Which one is it trying to bury?
  • As Christians, retirement shouldn’t be the finish line
    Too often, we spend our work hours eagerly awaiting the weekend. We spend our careers anxiously anticipating retirement so we can “finally do what I want to do.” Have you ever considered that what you do at work, where you are currently doing it, is precisely what God wants you to do?
  • Pittsburgh’s real renaissance has never been tried – until now
    But this week's AI-energy summit at Carnegie Mellon felt different, and not just because I watched Gov. Josh Shapiro and U.S. Sen. Dave McCormick share a stage without throwing haymakers.
