Things are really looking up Trump has thwarted the Chinese plan to flood us with drugs and save 45,000 overdose victims in the last year. In the first president a long time to deal with the Iran problem. It looks like Cuba's going to fall. And now the Senate has finally got Homeland security funding through life's beautiful

Everybody's been apoplectic about Trump's negotiating techniques. But they just worked. In international relationships with people like this certainty and uncertainty about what Trump will do are both necessary and effective. Certain that if he says he's going to do something he's going to do it. And uncertainty and what he'll do and when he'll do it. And these type of matter is with people from that background all they understand is power and force. And like a friend of mine who trained me once said in international relations the world is a bad neighborhood at midnight. Unless these fools renege and they'd be crazy to do so the stright is open and the war has stopped. And if they're crazy enough to test him again they'll find out he means it. So now all the Dems get to apologize but they won't for trying to help our enemies and hurt us just so they could try and embarrass Trump. These are people that don't care about American citizens or the American people all they care about is bringing in illegal aliens to backfill all the American citizens they have screwed over. Because they're a cheaper they think constituency. Republicans are for the American people and the best interests of America. Now let's see what all these idiots have to say when they realize that Trump's methods worked and for the first time since 1979 when a Democrat got us into this mess with Iran we and most of the world are going to be free from the foremost sponsor of international terrorism. And in the last 9 months to a year about 45,000 Americans are alive who would otherwise died of drug overdoses from all the drugs that were being funneled in here by China through Venezuela Colombian Mexico. And in a few weeks or months Cuba will be free from those crazy dictators on our shore. And Russia and China have lost a lot of power and a lot of bases in this hemisphere and elsewhere not since Ronald Reagan who had the guts to use a plan that was developed in 1964 to destroy the Soviet Union without firing a shot prospects for long-term peace been so good. And the dems kept saying Iran was going to be a forever war and every time Trump was doing something to make sure that didn't happen all they did was criticize him for it. Now it's all fallen apart for them. God help Iran if they try and go back on this. God bless America God bless Trump

The Democrats are on the 20% side of every issue and the only reason they appear to have traction is there forcing kids in blue states to miss their education to protest and they are backed by the China and Russia trying to destabilize this country who in the world is going to fall for these tactics and these backers

Another busy day I was at the nabor budget committee a court hearing then back to the budget committee then drop off a trailer for our float in the Martin Luther King Day parade for the Republican party then off to interview city council candidates then out for two more hearings and back to the office for two more clients just another leisurely day in my life.

I am continuing to attend many republican meetings and all the state meetings. Trying to get everybody on the same page and to work together. Remember that we've got a hard fight to fight against all these Democrats. The good news is they seem to like the 20% part of every issue I just hope they keep that up so they will continue to be less and less relevant in our lives. Keep up the good fight for the right thing

I have just been alerted that there is someone out there who created an account in my name it is not me if somebody sends you a friend request and if they've got six friends it's not me my friends are many many more than that I am getting many of these about my friends that are allegedly my friends but they are not and they only have a few friends and that is a big indication that they're a scam. Also there's all sorts of gift card scams and going and the light going on around out there so be very very careful cuz the person who's contacting you is probably not the person.

Every year, Gary Sinise proves that heroes are never forgotten—and neither are their families.

Through his foundation’s Snowball Express program, over 1,000 children of fallen military members and first responders are flown to Walt Disney World for a week they will never forget.

We’re talking five days of pure magic… every hotel, meal, park ticket, and flight covered. Families are greeted at airports by cheering crowds, American flags waving, and volunteers hugging them like long-lost friends.

When they arrive at Disney, they ride the rides, watch the parades, and laugh together. But they also share tears and memories. One of the most moving traditions is the Walk of Gratitude down Main Street, U.S.A., where these children and surviving spouses march toward Cinderella Castle as Disney cast members and military veterans line the streets, clapping, saluting, and honoring the names of those who gave everything.

Then comes the quiet moment—families writing personal messages to their fallen loved ones, placing them in a glowing cauldron at the castle. It’s a space where grief is met with love, and loss is met with hope.

Gary Sinise has been doing this every single year since 2017, bringing tens of thousands of surviving family members together. It’s not for headlines.

It’s not for fame. It’s because he believes America must never forget the people who made the ultimate sacrifice—or the children and spouses they left behind.

In a world where a lot of people talk about helping… Gary Sinise just does it.

Year after year.

Plane after plane.

Smile after smile.

This is what honoring our heroes really looks like. 🇺🇸

My my friend Joanne who has a great job now with the Trump administration is going to be at the White House today as a group of people working for him that are being tasked to do important work. There are few people that claim she didn't have a job with the Trump administration wrong. I know she'll do great things and she'll work hard because if you work for Trump or Marco and you don't work hard you got a problem. And I know she won't have a problem.
