At 6:26 did Lindsey Graham really say "when you don't have money coming in..." as an excuse for laying off and firing federal workers?

Did I miss that we are all getting a discount on our taxes this year? Because if not, there is money coming in.

Sharing my poem Second Thoughts - written earlier this year; finally ready to leave home.

A meditation on borders, faith, and the weight of being asked to "declare" yourself.

Some questions demand more than answers.

Freedom isn’t free—it’s leased. And the rent is due every damn day.

Illegal immigrants stole my 12-year-old’s job picking sugarcane. Thank you, President Trump, for helping get my child back to work🇺🇸

Another school. Another silence that should never be taught.

Not all opinions are equal.
Tolerance doesn’t mean handing out free chairs to bigotry dressed as “debate.”

When my son announced he was joining the Marines, I wrote this...

It began in grief, but settled into something quieter—
love that doesn’t hold on, but waits.

Remind me again, what is it called when the government controls business? I think it starts with a “f”…

Trump isn’t a conservative.

Conservatives defend institutions and the Constitution—they conserve. Trump tears down whatever he can’t control, attacks courts and the press, balloons the deficit, and thrives on chaos.

That’s not conservatism. It’s populism with an authoritarian streak.

A person has to have due process to do much of anything.

There are lawsuits currently in the works regarding inappropriate detention and deportation.

Keep in mind SCOTUS keeps neutering lower courts.

Part of the deal was that they get paid even if they are cancelled for any reason.
