I believe America is for Americans.
I believe no other country should have influence of America or its elected officials. Zero. I believe in hard work. I believe in merit. I believe in personal responsibility doing your part, handling your business and building a life you're proud of. I believe it should be a hell of a lot easier for people to earn and keep their money than it is right now. You shouldn't have to work three jobs to support your family. You shouldn't be taxed into submission by a system that punishes producers while rewarding the lazy. The government's job isn't to strangle prosperity, it is to protect the freedom that allows it.
I believe in equal opportunity...not equal outcome. You should be free to go as far as your work ethic & skill can take you and when you do, that should be celebrated, not vilified. I believe in helping people up when they fall. I believe in trying your hardest and getting back up when you stumble. I believe in being kind, but not soft. I believe in being honest, but not hateful. I believe in raising the standard in your own house before trying to fix the world with hashtags, slogans, and performative outrage. When you win, you should be respected. When someone else wins, you should be clapping. We've lost that. We need it back.
I believe in freedom of speech, especially when it's offensive to hear. Let all views be heard and let things sort themselves out. I believe in having a sense of humor, in laughing at each other. In disagreeing without having to burn someone's whole world down. I believe in harsh and swift punishment for violent crimes. I believe we're being manipulated into fighting each other so we never notice how bad we're all getting screwed. I believe most people, regardless of politics, want the same basic things: to be left alone, to raise their families, to live with purpose, to make money and to chase what matters to them without apologizing for it.
I believe who you are is built through your actions, not the labels someone puts on you. I believe strong men raise strong families and that fatherhood, discipline and masculine leadership should be honored, not attacked. I believe the people elected to represent us should be held to a higher standard not just when it's convenient, but always. I believe in building people so strong they never need to be rescued by the system again. I believe we should all take privilege of being American seriously and our lives should honor those that came before us and inspire those coming after us.
That's the America I believe in.
If @realDonaldTrump & co don't roll in and arrest and deport these somalians in Minnesota, the USA is over as we know it.
If there is no accountability, you are complicit.
These people came here, stole billions of our tax dollars and then have been donating large amounts back to political candidates to the tune of 10+ billion (that we know of).
Enough talk.
Enough bullshit.
Enough.
Action is required.
The American people are tired of this shit.
We are saddened to inform friends that our dear brother, Voddie Baucham, Jr., has left the land of the dying and entered the land of the living. Earlier today, after suffering an emergency medical incident, he entered into his rest and the immediate presence of the Savior whom he loved, trusted, and served since he was converted as a college student. Please pray for Bridget, their children, and grandchildren.
Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints. – Psalm 116:15

I'm 36. This is my honest advice for people in their 20s:
1. Make decisions your future self will thank you for, not resent you for.
2. Somebody you know and love is going to die within the next 10 years. It could even be you. So live accordingly.
The fact is, everyone in Washington is just mad President Trump didn’t want to spend more of your money on foreign aid. Fine me with me. I say cut it all off, for any reason. Corruption? Cut if off. Starting wars? Cut it off. Stole our Netflix password? Cut it off!
@MadrasAndPearls Same to you. Haven’t seen him for a minute... and we’re getting ready to move to wonderful Holland soon to expand on pizzeria things 😅👍
@MadrasAndPearls Renting for another year is probably a decent chunk of a down payment... if you have the funds, buy... 👍 (real estate expert over here)😜
