Today, we remember a legend.
On this day in history, Harambe would have celebrated another birthday. An icon that became part of internet history, American culture, and an entire generation’s timeline.
Tomorrow marks 10 years since we lost him. Ten years since the moment the world stopped scrolling and collectively mourned something bigger than a meme.
He became a symbol of loyalty, strength, chaos, unity, and the strange beauty of the internet bringing millions of people together for one cause: never forgetting Harambe.
Everyone remembers where they were when they heard the news. And somehow, a decade later, his legacy still lives on.
Gone, but never forgotten.
Rest easy to a true patriot. 🕊️🇺🇸

A lot of people are asking why more politicians are not like Ben Sasse.
Because voters will not elect them, that’s why. They may say they care about character, but most don’t vote that way.
Instead they vote party line, ideology, self-interest, or out of pique against a perceived enemy.
How can we expect our leaders to embody higher levels of virtue if a majority of voters don’t make personal character a red line?
It looks like we get the leaders we deserve.
March 31, 2017: Morgan William nails a jumper at the buzzer to lift the Mississippi State Women over UConn 66-64 in OT in the Final Four, snapping the Huskies’ 111-game win streak.
The passage of the Mississippi Grain Indemnity Act this session is a win for our agriculture community.
Our farmers should not go unpaid for their hard work because of someone else’s failure. Senate Bill 2631 creates a protection fund, allowing grain farmers to voluntarily contribute a small percentage of sales to provide financial assistance to a fellow farmer in the event of a major loss if a grain dealer or storage facility fails.
Agriculture is the backbone of our economy, and we will continue to support those who feed, fuel, and clothe our state.
