American Liberty Must Not Become Coronavirus Casualty

When announcing his nationwide vaccine mandate, President Joe Biden declared, “This is not about freedom.” But for Americans who live outside the Beltway, it is absolutely about freedom, because America is about freedom.

Use the Debt Ceiling to Reduce the Debt

Congress will soon vote on whether to raise the national debt limit, which it has modified nearly 100 times. Having faced more than a dozen of these votes during my eight terms in Congress, I am confident the debt limit will be raised again but probably only after an unproductive spate of hyperbole and brinkmanship.

Time to end government’s monopoly on education

When every parent has a choice, every student has a chance. The fact that a new school year is beginning after a year of pandemic shutdowns is undoubtedly a cause for celebration.

A Fight for America’s Honor

As much as I love America, these are the times that try an optimist’s soul.
