I was asked today on MSNOW about the recent ad in the Ohio governor’s race. It’s completely inappropriate and has no place in American politics. It should be taken off the air, and those responsible should apologize. Here’s what I had to say.

Our republic relies on a professional, nonpartisan civil service bound by the rule of law and the Constitution not political litmus tests. Questioning foreign service officers on their past votes for promotion betrays core institutional values. Merit and integrity over party fealty. washingtonsun.com/administra…

State Asked Foreign Service Officers Up for Promotion Whether They Voted for Trump

Federal law strictly prohibits making civil service personnel decisions on the basis of political affiliation.

🚨🚨Principles First Alert: Thank you @GovMikeDeWine. There are certain lines in politics that shouldn't be crossed—this is one of them. Exploiting childhood trauma proves why integrity, character, and virtue matter and why truth, honesty, and facts must be non-negotiable. We need principled leadership over political cruelty.

Gov. Mike DeWine talks about Vivek Ramaswamy’s ad featuring Amy Acton’s mother saying she is lying about her past - “the ad is deeply, deeply troubling” and that when you know the full story “it makes it more wrong”

Outer space is no longer just a frontier—it’s actively becoming a battlefield. As Russian satellites play a dangerous game of cat-and-mouse with U.S.-operated radar assets, our security depends on rules, not tribalism. Read the full report: axios.com/2026/10/22/space-w…

As he should. Witkoff’s remark was beyond embarrassing. Our allies in the Ukraine do not see Putin as a humanitarian, but see him for what he is - a murderous gangster and dictator.

Steve Witkoff to Putin: You talk so much about my president, President Trump, being a humanitarian. You are a humanitarian also, sir, and I salute that, I commend you, and I thank you again.

Pay-to-play in broad daylight. An explosive @ProPublica investigation reveals how defense contractor Navatek funneled cash to top politicians, including Lindsey Graham & James Clyburn, for millions in earmarks. Why were there no charges? A political purge of the FBI. propublica.org/article/navat…

This was my third @Principles_1st event here in Phoenix. Each one gives me more hope there are enough good people on both sides of the aisle working together to restore the norms and respect for the rule of law that made the U.S. the envy of the world.
