I lost my dad, Harold Ginn, from (Sudden Expected Death in Epilepsy) 13 years ago today.

Prayer and loved ones have helped me heal but the pain still stings.

I look forward to meeting him (and mom and others) again in Heaven one day!

Nothing is free. There should be no government-mandated “national paid family and medical leave program.” Leave this benefit to the voluntary negotiation between workers and employers. If not, work and entrepreneurship will diminish because of disincentives and higher taxes. Work…

I appeared last week on the Sutherland Institute's “Defending Ideas” podcast to discuss the Freedom Conservatism project. I argued that the principles of the American Founding are hardly “out of date,” as some populists and progressives claim, and that the Right should stand…

You're wrong.
