Pride
I take pride in being an American, but that is not acceptable for some. I take pride in being a Christian, and that is beyond reprehensible to some. I take pride in owning a gun (ok, guns) but it is simply not acceptable to some. And, I take pride being a biological male married to a biological female with no intentions or aspirations of changing, oh, but that just isn’t appropriate for some. As a matter of fact calling one out as a biological male/female seems to be offensive and flagged according to AP Style guidebook: Avoid terms like biological sex, along with biological male and biological female, which opponents of transgender rights sometimes use to refer to transgender women and transgender men, respectively. They are also redundant because sex is inherently biological.

Don't Wait Until It's Too Late
Is your passport up to date? I encourage you to check and find out! U.S. Passport Services are continuing to see unprecedented demand for passports. During the pandemic, many people put their travel plans on hold. Well, now that most everywhere is back open and travel restrictions are being lifted, more and more people are traveling abroad. That means more and more people are realizing that they need to renew or apply for passports, leading to an increased volume of applications.

Combating the Fentanyl Crisis
In Fiscal Year 2023 alone, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) seized over 14,000 pounds of fentanyl coming across the southern border. That’s enough to kill the entire U.S. population ten times (3.1 BILLION people).

Don’t Forget to Remember
Remembering requires previous knowledge of something to recall. It is easy to forget. It takes effort to remember. Why we remember makes remembering much easier. Remembering the sacrifice of others is the reason for this upcoming holiday we call “Memorial Day.” It isn’t the f irst day of summer, though it marks the beginning as Labor Day marks the end. It is a holiday that brings out the grills, boats and campers. Memorial Day is more like a celebration than a remembrance. Did you know it was originally called “Decoration Day?” It was a day set aside to decorate graves with flowers, wreaths and flags especially of those who served our country. Going to the cemetery can be a solemn occasion to remember and honor those brave souls who sacrificed for the freedom of others. It is a celebration of freedom honoring all those who served, when we remember. Don’t forget to remember. Grill, camp out, go boating, swim, lay out next to the pool, relax on the porch, enjoy the perfect weather offered this year and remember that you can do all that because there were people before you giving their lives for those precious freedoms.

Border Security is National Security
The Biden Administration’s failure to enforce our border laws has led to an unprecedented national security, ecological, and humanitarian crisis at our border. Since President Biden took office, there have been over 5 million illegal crossings along the southern border, and over 14,000 pounds of fentanyl have been seized coming across the border – that’s enough to kill the entire U.S. population ten times. U.S. Customs and Border Protection has lost operational control of the southern border – and with extraordinary amounts of narcotics flowing into our communities, drug overdose deaths are now over 100,000 per year, with fentanyl poisoning accounting for a vast majority of those deaths.

Veterans Benefits are Not on the Chopping Block
This week, President Biden and far-left Democrats have continued to desperately spread false claims that the Limit, Save, Grow Act will make devastating cuts to mandatory veterans’ benefits. This claim is a lie.

A Most Important Day to Remember
The most important day of the year is different for everyone. Christmas brings joy to many, including whole families as they come together, or it could be Thanksgiving. Birthdays are great for kids, everyday is great for babies, dads are way down the list and moms, well they get one day and it is Mother’s Day. Mothers are making all the other days of the year special for whomever or whatever is needed. It’s usually not the dads making the birthdays great. The mom knows what kind of cake to bake, gift to get or party to plan. Moms just know how to make that day, that import day, special. It’s the mom that cleans up afterwards. The mom gives the cheer when all seems to go wrong. It’s mom that know exactly when to hug and when to give advice (and in the most appropriate way.) Mom is always there and ready to be whatever she needs to be, everyday. We give her one day, Mother’s Day. She knows what to expect and expects nothing. Mother’s Day is the best day of the year, for mothers. It will be this Sunday and if you missed it, you will know. Do your best to make it important for your mother, she only gets one day, make it special as she would for you. And now to be clear. Mother is the biological female who gave birth to you, or the woman who raised you. Let’s keep it simple, figure out who birthed you, raised you and can still tell you what to do even though you are the president of the company and all grown up. That’s mom.
