Educational choice exists in America—but not for everyone.

At the @Reagan_Library, Hoover Institution Director @CondoleezzaRice argued that families with means can secure access to good schools by moving districts or choosing private education, while many poor children remain in failing neighborhood schools.

Great time in DC this week with Mack Mattingly. Very special moment: Mack joined Senate colleagues for special joint session of Congress for Netanyahu’s address.

@ericjtanenblatt Thanks Eric!

It's been more than 24 hours, and the liberal media refuses to report the TRUTH about Jose Ibarra:

▪️ He came to the U.S. illegally from Venezuela and was RELEASED by Biden's CBP in El Paso in Sep. 2022.          

▪️ He was arrested and RELEASED by NYC police after injuring a child in Sep. 2023.

▪️ He fled to Athens, GA (another sanctuary city) where law enforcement cited him for shoplifting in Oct. 2023.

▪️ He had an outstanding bench warrant as of Dec. 2023 for failure to appear in court on the shoplifting charges.

▪️ His brother had multiple arrests in Athens dating back to Sep. 2023 – before he was apprehended for possessing a fake green card.

This is NOT a "Georgia man." Or a random tragedy. It's one of the millions of criminal illegal immigrants Biden allowed into America – and the obvious consequence of open borders and sanctuary cities.

Why are Biden, Kamala, Warnock & Ossoff hiding on this?

“We’ll all face God’s merciful judgement: we can all share the Queen's hope which in life & death inspired her servant leadership. Service in life, hope in death. 
'All who follow the Queen's example, her inspiration of trust & faith in God, can with her say: 'We’ll meet again.'

Deeply saddened to learn of Ken Starr’s death. A Man of Character, we watched him in public and in private settings. He was consistently a teacher, a mentor, and urged the best and highest standards of those around him - lawyers, journalists, all. https://t.co/NVuCOyd2eI

“God bless our country that can make such a terrible, coldhearted mistake and yet, half a century later, redress it, right it, turn it around. Only a thinking nation could do that. Only a feeling nation could do that. We’re not dead yet, there are still big things going on here.”

God Speed, dear friend. Bob Dole was truly a “Profile in Courage’ - in so many ways and over his entire lifetime of service. We will miss him. Our prayers to Elizabeth, Robin and extended family.

WH confesses tax hikes/socialist $$ "will not be fully paid for".

How far from "it costs zero" will it miss by?

2. $75b (Dept of Homeland Security)
3. $100b (Social Security Admin)
4. $200b (Dept of Education)

Bravo Gov. Kemp for your leadership and GPA for your vision and work! GA saw a looming crisis & got out in front.

The @GaPorts are the economic engine of the Peach State, and this new Mason Mega Rail Terminal will serve as an important tool to address supply chain challenges here in Georgia and around the world.

Mack is grieving the loss of a dear friend this morning. Colin Powell was a man of extraordinary and disciplined character, whom Mack admired deeply. He was blessed to have had benefit of Gen. Powell’s friendship and counsel throughout their careers. https://t.co/5UeGyw3GrH

A new poll on the Election Integrity Act found:

✅ 75% support expanded early voting.

✅ 65% support an ID requirement for absentee ballots.

✅ 55% support securing drop boxes around the clock.

The left can lie all they want. Georgians support secure, accessible elections.

Our dear friend is in great spirits - says he’s “not going anywhere yet” and is focused on beginning his treatments - but he has also asked us to pray for him - so I’m inviting ALL to join us!
