Why the Right to Repair Deal is a victory for Kansas farmers | Opinion Original
July 18, 2026, 4:03 a.m. CT The Right to Repair movement advocates for the ability of individuals to repair their own property, including modern farm equipment. The Federal Trade Commission announced an agreement with John Deere, the largest U.S. farm equipment manufacturer, regarding this issue. Voluntary Right to Repair agreements now cover about 75% of all U.S. farm equipment from major manufacturers.
What 40 years of deregulation teach about the UP-NS rail merger
OPINION: Conservatives have spent decades arguing that Washington’s instinct to regulate its way to better outcomes usually produces the opposite. The history of American freight rail makes that case better than almost any other industry, and the proposed Union Pacific-Norfolk Southern merger is the next test.
Democrats love free speech — until conservatives get some Original
A major media company wants to expand while making a clearer commitment to free speech. You would think that would cheer any American who still believes in the First Amendment. Instead, Democrats are furious. That authoritarian impulse, not Ellison's support for Trump, is the real free-speech crisis in America. In April, Paramount CEO David Ellison hosted a dinner celebrating the First Amendment. That was no coincidence.
Will Elizabeth Warren’s Socialist Poison Pill Undermine Trump’s Bipartisan Housing Reform Plan?
In his State of the Union address, President Trump highlighted the importance of protecting one of the most treasured parts of the American dream – home ownership. His common-sense efforts to protect individuals and families from mega-investors buying up blocks of single-family homes is admirable.
Union Pacific-Norfolk Southern merger will create economic opportunities
OPINION: As the country heads into a consequential year for economic policy and infrastructure investment, some of the most important decisions will be made not on the campaign trail, but by regulators weighing how America moves its goods. One of those decisions — the proposed merger between Union Pacific and Norfolk Southern — deserves careful, constructive attention. This isn’t about corporate headlines or political talking points.

Unleashing America’s Energy Once and for All Means Overhauling Energy Permitting
This summer, President Trump and Congress have been extremely successful with remaking the American economy to deliver for workers and businesses, passing the “One Big Beautiful Bill” Act (OBBB) in July that extends important tax cuts and unleashes American energy. In particular, American energy dominance and independence was a key winner, as numerous provisions repealed Biden-era giveaways to green energy that held back our economy, making energy less reliable and affordable.
Ted Cruz Shines Light on the Left’s Lawfare Machine Against American Energy
This week, Senator Ted Cruz chaired one of the most important hearings in the U.S. Senate has hosted in years: “Enter the Dragon—China and the Left’s Lawfare Against American Energy Dominance.” At a time when American energy producers are being targeted by a coordinated assault of litigation and foreign influence, this hearing was a long-overdue spotlight on the shadowy forces behind the war on domestic energy.
Congress Shouldn’t Crush Farmers in Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill
I didn’t need a policy seminar to learn how global trade hits rural America. I learned it behind the wheel of a tractor, on the same Kansas soil my family has farmed for generations. And like a lot of farmers across the heartland, I know what it’s like to be squeezed by bad trade deals and forgotten by out-of-touch bureaucrats. That’s why President Trump’s America First trade agenda is so important.
Trump's Latest Actions Can Make America's Grid Reliable
Recent executive actions announced by President Trump will go a long way in restoring the reliability of America's electric grid, which has been eroding due to green energy policies and regulations that don't reflect the real energy needs of the country.

Puerto Rico’s Governor Is Failing Trump’s Energy Agenda-and Her Own People
Another blackout. Another island-wide outage. Another 1.4 million Puerto Ricans left in the dark. That’s what Puerto Rico experienced last week. Every customer of LUMA Energy—the company responsible for running Puerto Rico’s power distribution—lost electricity. Over 328,000 residents lost running water. The chaos lasted for days, and it wasn’t a one-off event. Since 2022, the island has suffered more than blackouts.
The President is Right to Preserve Tax Cuts to Protect US Businesses, Working Families | Newsmax.com
Financial markets are whipsawing surrounding the president’s ongoing efforts to right-size America’s trade imbalances through tariffs. It’s a noble goal if the result yields greater prosperity and a reduction in global tariffs and other non-tariff barriers. However, the issue is presenting a great deal of uncertainty for businesses of all sizes that may be concerned about the short- and medium-term impacts on the supply chain and operations.

TIM HUELSKAMP: Harris Has Failed Thousands Of Migrant Children Who Have Gone Missing During Her Watch
Vice President Kamala Harris, the Democratic presidential nominee, recently told voters at a campaign event in Arizona that she believes “we have a duty to set rules at our border and to enforce them,” a duty she takes “very seriously.” But her dismal record on the issue of human rights at our southern border suggests otherwise. Harris and her running mate, Democratic Minnesota Gov.
Catholic Turnout Could Provide The Tipping Point For A Trump Victory
The path to victory for former President Donald Trump and the Republican Party runs through the2,585 Catholic parishes in Arizona, Michigan, Montana, Nevada, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. These six states are the epicenter of the 2024 election. Though polling is fluid, each state — with the exception of Montana — remains a tossup in the presidential race.

Real or fake, we’re getting way too many drugs from China, former Rep. Huelskamp says | Commentary Original
The horrific attack on Israel and the outbreak of war in the Middle East should be a wakeup call for every American. We cannot remain complacent and rely solely on our intelligence community to successfully predict every threat. We must shore up our domestic weaknesses before it is too late and our enemies catch us by surprise. One of our nation’s greatest economic and health vulnerabilities is its reliance on China for pharmaceutical drugs.

Our Military Should Protect Americans, Not Fund Abortions
The sole purpose of the United States military is to protect and defend American lives. Yet it’s doing the very opposite under the Biden administration’s radical abortion policies. Instead of focusing Pentagon resources on protecting American interests, the Biden administration is using taxpayer dollars to pay service members to abort their children and reimbursing them for travel costs to states that allow it.
There is no constitutional right to 'gender-affirming' care
The U.S. House Judiciary Committee held a hearing Thursday on “The Dangers and Due Process Violations of ‘Gender-Affirming Care’ for Children” and exposed how children are being coerced by adults in positions of authority into life-altering and medically questionable “ gender transition ” drugs and procedures without anyone having a full understanding of their impact, including the doctors who prescribe and perform them. The hearing began in a rather unusual way—with a podcast.
Will Hollywood learn from Barbie's disappointing payoff for pandering to China?
Last weekend, the highly anticipated film Barbie made a killing at the global box office. One country where it didn’t do so well, however, was China . That’s unfortunate for the producers, who worked so hard to please Beijing, only to watch the film come in sixth place in opening-day ticket sales in China. Though viewership has picked up in recent days, its lackluster performance to date should serve as a warning to Hollywood studios seeking to crack the Chinese market.
More oversight for Ukraine aid on the way?
The push for greater oversight of U.S. aid to Ukraine is making progress. Wednesday night, a bipartisan majority of senators — including nearly every Republican — voted to create a lead inspector general for Ukraine assistance. In June, the House of Representatives agreed to a similar measure, establishing a special inspector general for Ukraine assistance as part of its annual defense policy bill. Fifty-one senators voted for the amendment, including every Republican except Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY).

The Democratic Party Is Losing the Catholic Vote
Both long-time and prospective Catholic voters for the Democratic party are slowly but surely being alienated by radical party officials who continuously misrepresent them on issues essential to their deeply held beliefs and convictions. When Catholics claimed the presidency for the first time under Democratic President John F. Kennedy, there were a record 108 Catholics in Congress, but never have a majority of Catholics serving in Congress been conservative or Republican.

We don't need a casino on every corner. U.S. Congress needs to let Kansans decide what's right for us.
When I served in the Kansas Legislature, I often observed that gambling is not a job creator, but simply a regressive transfer of wealth. To get the economy growing, we need real economic growth — real wealth creation — not some artificial revenue source that shuffles money from some pockets (often the poor) to others (casinos, lobbyists, and the government). By and large, the people of Kansas agree.

HUELSKAMP: The Google Bust Up Begins
Don’t look now, but Google is in trouble. The end of 2020 has brought with it a flurry of lawsuits targeting the tech giant’s allegedly unlawful business practices. In late October, the Justice Department pursued antitrust charges for “[using] anticompetitive tactics to maintain and extend its monopolies in the markets for general search services, search advertising, and general search text advertising,” according toThe Wall Street Journal.
A DOJ Roadblock to America’s Big Tech Beatdown?
It’s safe to say that Big Tech hasn’t had a great month. Google received a beating at the Supreme Court for allegedly stealing the coding needed to create Android. Congress subpoenaed Facebook and Twitter for deliberately blocking news coverage potentially damaging to one political party — a move that culminated in a high-profile hearing yesterday. And now, the Department of Justice has charged Google with illegally maintaining its search and advertising monopoly.
Barrett’s Treatment by the Left Exposes Their Racial Hypocrisy | National Review Original

What’s at stake if Catholic schools don’t open in the fall
Catholic schools in America comprise the largest parochial school system in the world. They have been in existence even before our nation’s founding. They have built an unparalleled legacy of academic excellence, promoted racial and ethnic integration, and made the American dream possible for so many whose opportunities were otherwise limited. These cherished institutions are facing extinction very soon. Saving them ought to be a bipartisan effort.
