When Kathy Borum hugged 17-year-old Vaughn-Thomas goodnight on a December night three years ago, the Tennessee mom didn’t know she was holding her son for the last time. A hard-working student and talented athlete, Vaughn-Thomas had just come home from the gym before getting ready for bed. But to cope with the stress of school, he did something that has tragically become all too common among minors: He ingested a Xanax laced with fentanyl that he likely acquired via Snapchat.

This past week, millions of Tennesseans gathered together to celebrate Thanksgiving with family, fellowship and delicious food. While this should be a joyous time, for too many families the holiday has become a financial strain after nearly four years of what I call “Bidenflation.” Since October 2021, for example, the price of turkey has surged 26 percent, while the cost […]

After four years of Biden-Harris failures, our country is set to make an incredible comeback with Republican control of the Senate, the House of Representatives, and the White House starting in the new year. And at the top of our agenda will be securing our border, deporting illegal aliens, and restoring the rule of law. Until then, though, the Biden-Harris open border remains a national security threat, and Congress should waste no time in taking action to protect our country.

(Oct. 28, 2024) - On the north bank of the Nolichucky River in Telford, Tennessee, sits Plum Grove. Between 1796 and 1801, the property served as the home of Tennessee’s first governor and founding father, John Sevier, who became a national hero after leading a band of volunteers from Washington County into battle during the Revolutionary War. More than two centuries later, that same Volunteer Spirit is alive and well, especially at Plum Grove.

If Kamala Harris is elected president of the United States next month, her husband will be awarded the unprecedented title of 'First Gentleman'. Yet I can hardly think of a less suitable way to describe Doug Emhoff who, were he married to almost anyone else on the planet, could be condemned as an alleged #MeToo monster. In August, the Daily Mail revealed how, in 2009, Emhoff cheated on his first wife with their daughter's nanny, who was also a teacher at her private school.
