Compare Calvin Coolidge on America’s 150th anniversary:
“It is often asserted that the world has made a great deal of progress since 1776, that we have had new thoughts and new experiences which have given us a great advance over the people of that day, and that we may therefore very well discard their conclusions for something more modern. But that reasoning can not be applied to this great charter. If all men are created equal, that is final. If they are endowed with inalienable rights, that is final. If governments derive their just powers from the consent of the governed, that is final. No advance, no progress can be made beyond these propositions. If anyone wishes to deny their truth or their soundness, the only direction in which he can proceed historically is not forward, but backward toward the time when there was no equality, no rights of the individual, no rule of the people. Those who wish to proceed in that direction can not lay claim to progress. They are reactionary. Their ideas are not more modern, but more ancient, than those of the Revolutionary fathers."
If you believe a foreign government can sail a hospital ship to the edge of US territorial waters, deliver a hundred babies to foreign moms, then promptly sail back to a foreign port, and that every one of those babies is American for life, you don’t believe in nationhood at all.
Thank you to @mikefor35 for leading the charge on this. Families will get tax relief when they need it most.
As a father Mike understands the burdens of providing for children. He also understands its importance.
Mike is putting NC families first.

SCOTUS RULING: Reacting in real-time to a new Supreme Court decision upholding birthright citizenship, @GovRonDeSantis slammed the current application of the 14th Amendment, arguing that the original intent has been distorted to protect "birth tourism" and illegal immigration.
"[The 14th Amendment] was not to have people show up from China for two weeks, have babies, get them citizenship, and then go back to China. I mean, how ridiculous has this become?"
