Spending time with the farmers, families, and patriots in Michigan, reminded me why I have such faith in America’s future. These are hardworking people who love this country, care for their neighbors, and want their children and grandchildren to have a better life.

Our farmers carry an enormous responsibility. They feed our nation, steward the land, and keep traditions alive that generations before them worked to build. They deserve our gratitude and our support.

Thank you, Michigan, for welcoming me. Keep showing up for your communities. Teach your children what freedom means. Never underestimate what you can accomplish when you take responsibility for the place you call home.

LOCAL ACTION = NATIONAL IMPACT

America’s political leadership must be clear about the purpose of every conflict that puts our people, our security, and our resources at risk.

What outcomes are we trying to achieve?

What conditions would tell us the mission has succeeded?

Who will verify those conditions?

These are practical questions. In the Middle East, military action must serve a defined political objective along with a path to ending the fighting. In Europe, every American commitment should be measured against a realistic prospect for peace. We should know what we are asking our allies to do, what negotiations are meant to accomplish, and what would allow the United States to reduce its involvement responsibly.

A strike can destroy a target. Another shipment can sustain a fight. Neither, by itself, tells us how a war ends. If circumstances change or the objective proves unreachable, we must have the discipline to reassess, and if necessary, change our course.

Continuing along the same path because we have already ...

Breaking: USAID STOPS FUNDING FOREIGN ELECTIONS AND GUESS WHAT?

Since USAID stopped funding elections overseas to the tune of billions of U.S. taxpayer dollars, more pro-sovereignty, pro-nationalist, pro-populist candidates have been winning (therefore the people of these nations win).

The victory of Flavio Bolsonaro is an example of a political victory where the United States was not able to be as influential as before (a good thing in my judgement). Bolsonaro is expected to be a very pro-U.S. president.

When people in a democratic system are able to vote in free, open, and fair elections, they will almost always choose the better candidate. When other nations interfere or intervene in foreign elections, it is never for the good of the people of the respective nation. It is solely to benefit the outside nation’s selfish self interests.

In the United States, we need to learn from this lesson. When we allow outside foreign entities (nations, groups, political parties, or companies) to ...

The FBI celebrated Brian Cole Jr.’s arrest. Now it needs to answer the questions raised by his interrogation and the evidence used to identify him.

His attorneys say agents coerced his confession. The government says its evidence connects him to the pipe bombs. Americans deserve to see that evidence and understand how the confession was obtained.

I will continue demanding accountability for January 6, regardless of who is running the FBI or DOJ. Public trust depends on officials answering difficult questions.
