The Hill Op-Ed: How the National Institutes of Health became a den of cronyism

JNS Op-Ed: The US should cut off aid to the Palestinians

Fox News Op-Ed: Dr. Rand Paul: The bombshell revelation about government’s chilling alliance to censor Americans
A bombshell revelation demonstrates the chilling lengths the government will go to censor the American people. I wish I could say I’m surprised, but federal officials have been pressuring Big Tech to censor constitutionally protected speech for quite some time. The House Judiciary Committee and Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government recently released a report revealing the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), the Cybersecurity & Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), and the Global Engagement Center (GEC) coordinated with Stanford University, along with other entities, to censor speech leading up to the 2020 election.

Northern Kentucky Tribune Op-Ed: Say ‘No’ to attack on Kentucky school archery and hunting programs
I know I’m preaching to the choir when I say that the Biden Administration is waging an unprecedented war on Kentucky values. Just ask Kimber Collins, an eighth-grade student at Jenkins Independent in Letcher County, Kentucky, whose school archery program is being defunded by Biden and his gun-grabbing agenda.

The American Conservative Op-Ed: The Federal Government Should Not Be Held Hostage for Ukraine Funding
Today I am putting leadership of the House, the Senate, and the President of the United States on notice. I will not consent to the expedited passage of any spending measure providing more American aid to Ukraine.
Simply put: We have no extra money to send to Ukraine. Our deficit this year will exceed $1.5 trillion. Borrowing money from China to send to Ukraine makes no sense.
