Across America parents of newborns are scrambling because infant formula has to be rationed – if it’s available at all. It’s unthinkable to me that this could be happening in present-day America, and yet here we are. But would you believe me if I told you that this latest crisis was completely avoidable? This February, Abbott Laboratories recalled infant formula produced in its Sturgis, Michigan facility, which produces approximately 16% of baby formula in the U.S. By that time, it should have b...

Our country, as best said by President Reagan, is a shining city on a hill. We are a beacon of freedom and hope that the rest of the world looks to and strives to emulate. Our values, our customs, and our spirit inspires people across the globe to strive for what we have – the American Dream. What started as a collection of colonies desperate to gain the right of self-governance became the north star for liberty and a symbol of strength against tyranny and evil for all others. We, as a nation, h... READ MORE
It’s a tale of two realities. This week the Consumer Price Index showed that inflation over the last 12 months continues to remain near a 40-year high, coming in at 8.3 percent. This year alone, families will pay $5,200 more for goods and services because of the inflation caused by reckless Washington Democrat spending. To add insult to injury, many Washington Democrats are just now starting to realize the impact record high inflation is having on American families. In fact, it wasn’t until some... READ MORE
At this point in his administration, President Biden and Washington Democrats have made clear they will not stop with their big government agenda until they control every aspect of our lives. At every turn, whenever they’ve run into opposition to their policies – whether it’s mask mandates, vaccine mandates, limiting parental involvement in our kids’ education, or any of their other policies aimed at greater control – Washington Democrats have labeled commonsense opposition as “disinformation.” ...

Under Joe Biden, no aspect of our lives is safe from the long reach of federal bureaucrats who are more interested in imposing their own values on Missourians than they are in improving our lives and livelihoods. If there’s one area that should be free from politics, it’s the care we receive from our physicians. The highest priority for every physician should be providing high-quality care to every patient. Politics should be the furthest thing from a physician’s mind. But now under a new rule p... READ MORE
After two years of evidence from COVID lockdown policies and restrictions, we’ve learned three things pretty clearly. First, we’ve learned that states and cities that locked down harmed their own citizens through reduced job opportunities and mental health challenges associated with isolation. Second, we have learned that the Biden administration is unwilling to stand up to wealthy liberal elites who prefer the government controlling hardworking Americans’ actions. And third, we have the data to... READ MORE
For Christians around the world, Easter gives us the opportunity to celebrate Jesus’ life and death, and most importantly, His resurrection. We reflect on the suffering of Jesus, what he endured for His people even though He was without sin. Then we joyously proclaim His triumph over death; his ascension to the right hand of the Father and the gift of everlasting life he offers to all who repent and believe in him. My belief in this miraculous gift is what guides me every day. As the son of a pr... READ MORE
Since taking office, Joe Biden and his Washington Democrat allies have increasingly incentivized illegal immigration by changing effective border security policies put in place by the Trump administration. Now, Joe Biden and Washington Democrats want to make a bad problem worse. Last week, President Biden announced he would be ending President Trump’s Title 42 Border Security program, which allows the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to deport illegal aliens if they pose a public health dan...

This week President Biden unveiled his Fiscal Year 2023 (FY23) budget — nearly two months after he was legally required to do so. Under President Biden, Missourians are finding it more difficult and more expensive to put food on their tables, gas in their cars, and clothes on their backs. None of this is happening by accident. Whether it is the inflation crisis, energy crisis, border crisis, a supply chain crisis, crime crisis, education crisis or others, all are the direct result of the policie... READ MORE
If there is one thing the Biden Administration excels at, it is blaming everyone and anything to avoid taking responsibility. Its favorite thing to do is play the blame game. When it is clear that out-of-control government spending is causing the highest inflation we have seen in 40 years, President Biden blames the supply chain. When it is clear the supply chain crisis has been caused by government policies that discouraged work, President Biden blames the American people for buying too much. M... READ MORE
