The war in Ukraine should be viewed as a sideshow for the United States, just by our nation's U.S. Defense Industrial Base Capabilities alone. This is not a debate about aid to Ukraine, but rather is a debate on U.S. Military Production capabilities. If the United States wants to compete on the world stage in the immediate future, it needs to address this clear weakness in our nation's military capabilities – yesterday.

ROGER WILLIAMS: Biden's High Inflation Continues to Burden Working Americans

Inflation remains at the top of concerns for Americans and small business owners across the country – we are all being forced to decide things such as whether we can afford groceries, housing, or gas.

Senator Ted Cruz raised concerns about new powers being given to the Federal Trade Commission in light of the abrupt and recent resignation announced by Commissioner Christine Wilson.
