I think we can all agree the Senate wouldn’t function very well without the pages.
The very first Senate page was a nine-year-old boy named Grafton Hanson who was appointed by Daniel Webster back in 1829. Back in those days, the pages had to refill ink wells and clean out spittoons.
Things have changed a little bit around here since then. The work isn’t quite as …

Democrats on the House Energy & Commerce Committee have introduced a relabeled and slightly revised bill from the past and given it the inaccurate and misleading name “the CLEAN Future Act.” This bill is aimed at restricting and reducing the use of reliable energy sources, and mandating and increasing the use of unreliable energy sources. This will make energy more substantially expensive …

During the Obama Administration, America saw its lowest labor force participation rates since the Carter era. While all groups suffered, blacks suffered disproportionately.
Yet there was nary a peep from the budding Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement back then.

Today, we’re at several crossroads with many of our largest trading partners to ensure the U.S. is not unfairly disadvantaged in the global marketplace. As the Administration confronts these issues — including at a highly anticipated meeting between President Trump and China’s President Xi at the G-20 Summit this weekend – it’s vital …

When the Affordable Care Act was debated and passed, Americans were promised that a typical family would save $2,500 a year due to the act’s provisions. Yet, costs have continued to rise. In particular, prescription costs have been rising at an alarming rate — rocking upward by 20% from 2013 to the 2015.

Some elected officials embarrass us by what they do, don’t do or say.
Take Missouri State Sen. Maria Chappelle-Nadal for example. This longtime black Democrat crossed the line when she announced on social media her hope that President Donald J. Trump would be “assassinated” because she didn’t like the way he responded to events in Charlottesville, Virginia. Whether one agrees or disagrees with an elected official, it …

The recent emergency summit of the European Union about the migrant crisis takes place in the context of deep divisions among the member states, the chaos in the greater Middle East, Russia’s newly found assertiveness, the bankruptcy of Greece, Turkish duplicity, and the absence of the United States as the most powerful country within NATO. Clearly, the historic rift between western …

Although, despite his two resounding defeats in 2008 for the Republican Party’s nomination, and in 2012 against Barack Obama for the Presidency, no one accused Mitt Romney of not possessing an abundance of political intelligence.In fact, the vast majority of Americans have judged him as a decent individual. Yet, concealed behind his apparent decency, Romney has decided to succumb to his inner demons of foolish …
