When Judas had left them, Jesus said, “Now is the Son of Man glorified, and God is glorified in him. If God is glorified in him, God will also glorify him in himself, and God will glorify him at once.” John 13:31–32

When you look at your life, it is essential to see the cross that God has given to you. That is because your cross is the gateway to eternal glory. Each person’s cross will be different. A cross is not simply our suffering; it’s our call to live sacrificially. This is love. It’s the calling we are given to lay our lives down for others. To serve others. To forgive every wrong, to love every sinner, to show mercy and compassion toward those in need. And to do all of this in response to God’s perfect will. The crosses in our lives are opportunities for love in its purest form. This is how Jesus saw His Cross and this is how we must see ours.

Recently, a study was released by Jamie Bryan Hall and Ryan T. Anderson of the Ethics and Public Policy Center concerning the safety of mifepristone which is a one of two medications used for medical abortions in the United States. Mifepristone is a compound that binds with high affinity to progesterone receptors in the human body thus blocking natural progesterone from binding to the receptors and leading to fetal demise because progesterone is needed for fetal development. The second drug administered 24-48 hours after taking mifepristone is misoprostol which causes cervical softening and uterine contractions resulting in expulsion of the products of conception. In 2000, during the Clinton Administration, the FDA approved mifepristone for medical abortions after small clinical trials (859 U.S. participants) under a strict Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy (REMS) that required three IN-PERSON office visits, physician only prescribing, only in-clinic administration of medications, mandatory reporting of ALL serious adverse events, and physicians had to be able to quickly access surgical and emergency care. In 2016, during the Obama Administration, REMS was relaxed – in-person visits lowered from three to one, extension of gestational limit from 7 to 10 weeks, in-office administration of medication was removed, and adverse event reporting was no longer required except under specific circumstances. In 2023, during the Biden Administration, REMS was lowered even further – no in-person visits required and telehealth permitted, mail order pharmacies allowed to dispense abortion medication, non-physician healthcare providers permitted to prescribe, and the only adverse event required to be reported is death. The Hall/Anderson study was a review of insurance claims made within 45 days following 865,727 mifepristone abortions performed during 2017-2023. Examination of the insurance data showed an alarming number of serious adverse event claims – hemorrhage, emergency room visit related to the abortion, repeated surgical abortion, infection, abortion related hospitalization, ectopic pregnancy, transfusion, sepsis, and several other emergency events – of 10.93%. The FDA drug label for mifepristone reports the serious adverse event rate as < 0.5% based on the small scale clinical research done in a tightly controlled environment for the 2000 drug approval. We now have large scale, real world data indicating that mifepristone is not as safe as is being touted by the abortion industry. Additionally, a medication with a 10% risk of a serious adverse event is being sold with no in-person office visit or in-person post medical procedure follow up. An absolute recipe for disaster. The FDA should pull mifepristone from the market.

A. On the Ohio front:

1. The State of Ohio Republican Central Committee endorsed Vivek Ramaswamy for the Ohio 2026 Governor Race by a 60-3 vote. I have admired Ramaswamy – I read his book Woke Inc. long before he entered the national political stage – but doubts popped up for me when he expressed support for H1B visas. As an America First advocate, I support blue and white collar American workers FIRST. I am a white collar, bachelor and master degree holder, American mutt in the IT sector, so I have a vested interest in the H1B visa discussion. The H1B visa program has been chapping my ass for three decades. American businesses hire H1B visa holders because they work for less than Americans and since the company is the visa sponsor, the visa holders are compliant and not inclined to make waves if they don’t want to be sent back home. Vivek was out of DOGE lickety-split announcing his run for Ohio Governor and that made me motive suspicious. Ramaswamy was slick in his timing and did not weather the beat down Musk encountered. Vivek is smart – Harvard undergrad, Yale Law School – and he is exceptionally hard working – close to billionaire status – but I need to see and hear more from him to be convinced that he is THE guy capable of representing the common American Joe Blow here in Ohio.

2. Signature collection has started for a referendum petition to repeal Senate Bill (SB) 1 – The Advance Higher Education Act – which was signed into law by Governor DeWine in late March. The law bans Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) courses, training, and required statements; spending on DEI initiatives or programs with the same intent; and political and ideological litmus tests in all hiring, promotions, and admissions decisions at Ohio’s state colleges and universities. This movement is being led by faculty of Youngstown State University.

B. On the National Front:

1. President Trump signed an Executive Order requiring pharmaceutical companies to grant the United States most favored nation pricing. Currently, the U.S. is one of the largest consumers of pharmaceuticals yet Americans often pay three times more than individuals in other developed countries for the same drugs manufactured in the same facilities. The pharmaceutical industry has the largest lobbying budget in D.C., so we will have to stay tuned to see if any substantive changes come out of this EO anytime soon.
