“The Marquette University Law School poll found 67% of respondents believed confirmation should proceed in 2020 while just 32% said the chamber should hold off.”
Most Americans, regardless of whether they are Republican or Democrat, believe the Senate should move forward with confirmation hearings for a Supreme Court Justice this year, a new poll says. The …
You’d think he’d have learned his lesson.
Joe Biden is not the first person in his family to attend college. But he has a lengthy history of claiming otherwise, although the lie gets him in trouble.
Do you agree with him?
Mike Ditka's got some things to say about all your complaining.
It's time to get back to work, Ohio.
Ohio Dems don't think the laws/rules apply to them.
When you can’t find real people to run for office, you might have to find some ringers to do it for you...
The Ohio Republican Party State Central Committee members should look toward the future and appoint "RNC Rising Star" Kayla Atchison to an open seat.
An opening on the Ohio Republican Party’s State Central Committee is giving the GOP an opportunity to see the development of a stellar candidate with a proven track record. Kayla Atchison is an enthusiastic leader in conservative politics with tremendous potential that made the RNC take notice. ...
Um, what?

“I think the administration has now shifted to trying to get to zero infections across the state, which is unattainable. I believe that the trade-off economically, and frankly, with our freedoms no longer makes sense the way that perhaps it did on a very short-term basis in March," said Obhof, whose 22nd District includes Richland, Ashland and Medina counties, as well as a portion of Holmes County.
Ohio Sen. President Larry Obhof said Tuesday he is "frustrated" by Gov. Mike DeWine's shifting goals regarding the COVID-19 pandemic that reached the state in March.
Selling e-cigarettes to individuals under the age of 18 is already illegal in Ohio, so the ordinance's aims are already addressed by existing laws. What are they going to do, make it double-secret illegal?
Thank you, Senate President Larry Obhof!
There are no emergency clauses on the inalienable rights of Ohio citizens to keep and bear arms.
Summer's over, time to get back to work.

Why is the Hamilton County Democratic Party and Kate Schroder encouraging community organizers to break the law?
Clearly, the Ohio House members who dropped these articles are more interested in throwing political bombs than they are fixing their concerns. Why didn't they purse these bills from the Senate?
Ohio Senate President Larry Obhof said that the members of the Ohio House seeking to impeach Gov. Mike DeWine didn't do all they could legislatively to curb the executive branch power during the coronavirus pandemic.

'I'm ready to help in any way I can,' Clinton said in an interview published four years after she lost her own presidential election in 2016.
Rep. Casey Weinstein has a lot of explaining and apologizing to do.
Casey Weinstein is scrambling to cover his tracks. The Ohio House freshman Democrat is attempting to avoid responsibility for voting for Larry Householder for Speaker. Now, he’s having issues with his own words. The 37th House District is a swing district. Weinstein’s opponent is Beth Bigham, a ...
Happily pictured here with Larry Householder are House Democrats Emilia Sykes, Juanita Brent, Stephanie Howse, Janine Boyd, and Erica Crawley. They broke a 120 year old tradition to vote for Householder as Speaker over the objections of a majority of House Republicans. Now, they seem to have forgotten. Share this if you believe the 26 House Democrats who voted for Householder should be reminded.
Ohio House Democrats developed amnesia regarding their support of Larry Householder. Remind them he would never have been Speaker without their votes.
House Bill 6 isn’t a fluke. The brazen Statehouse stall over payday lending wasn’t a fluke. And the General Assembly’s failure to constitutionally fund public schools dates back to 1997. Something is very wrong at the Ohio Statehouse. Anyone who says otherwise is in denial – or in trouble, w...
Notice how the Ohio House Democrats have amnesia over the fact that 26 of them voted for Larry Householder for Speaker. Wonder why Householder is still a member of the House after being indicted? Read Rep. Koehler’s post below. Ohio House Dems complicated this matter by giving Householder a pass in November’s election.
Yesterday, we removed Larry Householder as Speaker of the Ohio House, installed Rep. Bob Cupp as our new Speaker… but we did NOT remove Larry Householder from office.
Many have asked “Why not?”. Here is the reason…
In Ohio law, an elected official is automatically removed if they are convicted of a crime. Larry Householder has only been accused and indicted. Like you and I, he is innocent until proven guilty.
Any Representative can be expelled from office by a vote of 2/3rds majority based on issues that are not related to a conviction. BUT, and very important, they cannot be expelled TWICE for the same issue.
We wisely removed him from his position as Speaker yesterday because we don't believe he could or should be leading the House under current circumstances. Democrats made an unwise attempt to expel him from his position as state representative as well. Here is why it was foolish…
Because Larry Householder is on the ballot for November 3rd in an unopposed race... he is going to be re-elected to the Ohio House again in less than 100 days NO MATTER WHAT.
If we expelled him yesterday, he will be back in January for another term. The “double-indemnity” provision is there to say that if the House expels him once for a particular issue and the voters re-elect him anyhow... the House members cannot over-rule the consent of the voters.
Again, if we expelled him yesterday, because he is unopposed, he will automatically be back in January and we would be forbidden by law to expel him again.
I know that sounds crazy but it is how the law works and it is there to give voters the ultimate authority.
I voted to "table" the move to expel him because this option needs to remain available for next January if needed. I hope this all makes sense.
Today, Ohio House Republicans will fix a mess that Ohio House Democrats created. 26 Democrats crossed party lines to vote for Larry Householder as Speaker. A majority of House Republicans voted for Ryan Smith. The media has amnesia on this issue. Please remind other Ohioans. Here are their names. https://ballotpedia.org/Election_for_speaker_of_the_Ohio_House_of_Representatives,_2019
Big changes happened at the Republican Party of Cuyahoga County. This bodes well for November.
There is a changing of the guard at the Republican Party of Cuyahoga County (RPCC) following June’s reorganizational election. Lisa Stickan was elected Chairman of the Central Committee in a resounding victory over incumbent Rob Frost in an intra-party duel that resulted in a 206-113 vote. Stickan...
