Protecting emergency oil reserves

Protecting emergency oil reserves

Last month, House Republicans passed a crucial bill that holds the Biden Administration accountable for its assault on North American energy production. Since assuming office, President Joe Biden has taken actions that have dangerously and significantly reduced our nation’s energy independence and caused energy prices to reach unprecedented prices. 02/16/2023 05:00 AM

Be an Andrew

Years ago I did a study of the 12 disciples. It is staggering to think that out of all the people on the planet at that time, Jesus only chose twelve to be His disciples. But, what do we really know about those twelve? 02/16/2023 05:00 AM

Addressing America’s debt crisis

Addressing America’s debt crisis

In January, the United States hit its debt ceiling, which is currently at $31.4 trillion. After raising the debt limit by $2.5 trillion just two years ago in 2021, this sobering news should serve as a wakeup call that we must reduce our nation’s spending and implement meaningful fiscal reforms to address America’s debt crisis before it is too late. This fiscal trajectory is simply unsustainable. 02/09/2023 05:00 AM

Financial crisis can prompt good policy

Oklahomans may live far removed from Washington, D.C., but that doesn’t mean the negative repercussions of bad federal policy are not felt by families in all parts of the state. Out-of-control federal spending and government overreach has fueled constant tax increase attempts, historic inflation and widespread hardship. 02/09/2023 05:00 AM

Grief and joy: Can they co-exist?

Grief and joy: Can they co-exist?

Psalms 126:1-6 says, “When the Lord brought back the captive ones of Zion, We were like those who dream. Then our mouth was filled with laughter and our tongue with joyful shouting; Then they said among the nations, ‘The Lord has done great things for them.’ The Lord has done great things for us; We are glad. Restore our captivity, O Lord, as the streams in the south. Those who sow in tears shall reap with joyful shouting. He who goes to and fro weeping, carrying his bag of seed, Shall indeed come again with a shout of joy, bringing his sheaves with him.” 02/02/2023 05:00 AM

Focusing on serious foreign challenges

Focusing on serious foreign challenges

For far too long, American leaders have accepted the erosion of our advantage over the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) both economically and militarily. In the meantime, the CCP has posed increasingly as an adversary rather than a friend to the United States and the entire world. It is time to analyze the policies that have allowed the CCP to dominate on the global stage and find solutions that ensure America’s success in this competition. 02/02/2023 05:00 AM
