We’re auramaxxing Washington, D.C. ahead of America’s 250th birthday.
@SecretaryBurgum recently ordered the massive Arts of War and Arts of Peace equestrian statues for regilding for the first time since 1971.
The restoration is part of @POTUS’s effort to make the Nation’s Capital safe and beautiful. 🇺🇸
🚨 HOLY CRAP! Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-AL) is now calling for GOP Senators to get STRIPPED of their Committee Chair assignments if they oppose nuking the zombie filibuster or would vote for Democrat amendments on the floor
"YOU GOT TO PLAY HARDBALL!" 🔥
"We've got several people that are not going to vote for filibuster, or they probably vote for some of the Democrat amendments. You say, listen, you do that. You're out as chairman of a committee. You're out. Immediately out."
"We're going to put somebody else in. Because that's the reason people stay here is to have power. But we do it because of seniority!"
"We don't do it because of merit. We don't have the best people in some of these chairmanship. So we've got to do the right thing."
"It starts at leadership. We're going to go in. I'm going to listen to it. And if we don't make changes, we go and try to beg people to do things. It doesn't work. Put their feet to the fire. Let's go to work and let's work with President Trump!"

Hawaii state officials stole around $12M from you. The money was supposed to be used to prosecute fraudsters, but they didn’t indict a single person in 4 years. The Trump Administration will not sit back and do nothing when states waste your tax-dollars. Other states should take note. More coming soon.
A very big THANK YOU to the National Capital Planning Commission on the 8-1 approval of the Great Triumphal Arch to be built at the base of the Arlington Memorial Bridge, which has been waiting for this structure for over 200 years. When completed, it will be, without question, the Greatest Arch of them all! President DONALD J. TRUMP

I decided to take a step back over the past few days and focus on my home and business as I work through a beautiful abundance of orders and restock a few items at the request of so many kind people who have reached out to support my little shop.
I’ve spent the last few days teaching music, spending time at our local theater—where I’m co-music directing and enjoying the role of Abigail Adams—and simply being present with friends, snuggling my babies, and taking time to play.
I’m hopping back on here to once again thank everyone for the love and prayers over the past several weeks. It’s been quite a ride, and I find myself emotionally crashing a bit after holding everything together for so long.
A deal is in the works, and we are hopeful that Lucy will be home soon.
I’m still losing sleep over the thought of her sitting in that cage. I worry about her health, her spirit, and the toll this has taken on her while we wait for others to make decisions that affect both her future and my husband’s. Frustrating doesn’t even begin to describe it.
I don’t have much else to say tonight except thank you.
I’m sad, but hopeful.
I’m thankful for my friends, for my theater and church communities, and for all of you who have supported us in every way possible.
I’ve also had several people reach out asking about their orders from The Mulberry Patch. A large batch shipped out today, and I’m hoping to have the rest finished by the end of next week. I’ve restocked several teas, just launched my new summer teas (which I think you’re going to love!) and there is still some soap available.
Seeing these orders leave my little workshop filled with things I’ve made with my own hands brings me so much joy. It has been a beautiful reminder that there is still so much goodness in people.
I’ll try to respond to emails individually tomorrow. But for tonight, I simply want to say thank you.
Please continue praying for Lucy’s health, for wisdom in the days ahead, and for peace for our family.
❤️

SAVE LUCY UPDATE from @brendanmjones
A reminder that Lucy is still not reunited with her family.
Keep praying & sending positive vibes for a family reunion as soon as possible.
I’m hoping Lucy can feel everyone praying over her - that she can feel the love from all of us animal lovers.
Continue to pray that a heartbreaking story will soon turn into a heartwarming reunion.
FREE LUCY ❤️
We are getting ready to head to the hospital for my husband’s surgery and just wanted to say thank you so much to all of who have shared messages, prayers and well wishes for Abraham. We are humbled and so grateful to be surrounded by aloha during this really tough time. 🙏🏽
The Night My World Went Dark
I recently received the video of my 99-yard kickoff return against Boston College in the opening game of the 1984 season.
For most people, that video is a highlight.
For me, it is both a miracle and a wound.
I see myself flying down that field, young, strong, full of promise, with the crowd roaring and the future wide open. I see a young man doing exactly what he believed he was born to do. And then I remember what came next.
The very next series, my life changed forever.
I blew out my knee.
In one moment, the lights of my dream began to dim. Over the next seven years, I would suffer six knee injuries and surgeries. I have never shared this before, but the pain became so heavy that twice I thought about putting an end to it all. I was lost. I lived destructively, trying to find my way back to the man I used to be, trying to make sense of a life that no longer looked like the one I had imagined.
While I was with the Denver Broncos, I blew out my knee for the final time. I was told it was my meniscus. Later, when I was with the Miami Dolphins, Coach Don Shula called me into his office and told me the truth: I had a torn ACL, and I was being released.
Just like that, my career was over.
I was 25 years old, sitting in an apartment I had signed a lease on two days earlier, broke, cut from a team for the first time in my life, and facing a surgery that would end the only dream I had ever known. My contract was voided because of a pre-existing injury. Then, as if life wanted to make sure I felt every ounce of the fall, someone broke into my new car—the one I could no longer afford—and stole the expensive sound system I had just installed.
I sat there in the dark, not just around me, but inside me.
I could not see tomorrow.
Football had always told me who I was. Without it, I felt like a failure. I felt forgotten. I felt cheated. And even now, every time I watch that 99-yard return, it is hard not to think about what might have been.
But God did not let that be the end of my story.
Years later, when I was diagnosed with ALS, I already knew what darkness felt like. I knew the sound of silence after the crowd stops cheering. I knew what it meant to lose the life you thought you were supposed to have. But I also knew how to pray from the floor. I knew how to get out of bed when my heart wanted to stay buried.
So when you see me smiling, understand this:
That smile did not come easy.
It came through pain, tears, depression, broken dreams, and battles nobody saw. It came from surviving nights I thought would destroy me.
And every time I see that video, I still wonder what might have been.
But I also remember this:
I am still here. And that means God was not finished with me.
Folks keep askin’ me where to get the Dadgum Patriot hat. Well here ya go. 🇺🇸 Donate a few bucks to help us keep fightin’ the crazies in DC and I’ll send one your way.
I so wish that Beryl was allowed to take revenge on the operator!
A mother grizzly bear named Beryl and her 2 cubs were harassed by an imbecile with a drone at Yellowstone that left park guests "madder than hell." The quadcopter drone was so close that they could have reached up and swatted it. Piloting a drone anywhere in a national park is punishable with up to 6 months in jail and/or a $5,000 fine. The operator was able to take off before the park ranger caught them.
It ruins the experience of the great outdoors if there is modern technology there like a drone.
