Congressman Murphy. I won't waste a lot of your time. I know you see it as well as I do. Homeland Security is out of control. They have no interest in securing OUR homeland, only securing democrat votes. The new head of the Disinformation Governance Board, DGB, (That has a familiar ring to it.) is clearly insane or at least extremely biased and anti-American. It's time to rein these people in and put a stop to this madness. The First Amendment is very clear. Just as clear is that this DGB is a blatant violation of the Constitution and every principle of freedom that Americans are guaranteed by it. I wouldn't have sent you to Congress if I didn't think you would fight for me and our country., and it's time to FIGHT! Respectfully,
Senator Burr, I won't waste a lot of your time. I know you see it as well as I do, but maybe you missed this. Homeland Security is out of control. Our Southern border is wide open. Secretary Mayorkas seems to have no interest in securing OUR homeland, only securing democrat votes. The new head of the DGB, (That has a familiar, and sour ring to it.) is clearly insane or at least extremely biased and anti-American. It's time to rein these people in and put a stop to this madness. The First Amendment is very clear. Just as clear is that this DGB is a blatant violation of the Constitution and every principle of freedom that Americans are guaranteed by it. I haven't seen it at work yet, but I'd bet that Stalin would be pleased. I wouldn't have sent you to Congress if I didn't think you would fight for me and our country. I know you're winding down toward retirement, but I'd like to see one more blast of the old fire you had when you first went to DC. It's time to FIGHT! Respectfully,
Senator Tillis, I won't waste a lot of your time. I know you see it as well as I do, but maybe you missed this. Homeland Security is out of control. Our Southern border is wide open.

"************* Rd has a nearby park, Hammocks Beach State Park , located 4.794498636 miles or 14 minutes away." No mention of the fact that the beach is only accessible by boat.
No pictures yet, but the cat trapping technique I learned from a local feral cat vet many years ago qualifies as a cool trick. They use it to get feral cats from under their big folding trap (with classic stick and string manual trigger) into a cat carrier. I've adapted it to remote kitten rescue. Cats in a dark box will relax. When they see a bright light they think it's the way out. Zoom! Right into the car carrier. Last night I got it to work on a kitten so young he wouldn't even sniff cat treats. With an LED light at the back of a covered box trap he went right for the light as soon as the sun set. I'll test this on the bigger feral cats and see how it works on them.
The whole world paused this morning. Do you know why? Because an 8 year old’s tank was empty. The boys had already started their school day at their desks and I was preparing to leave for work when I noticed my littlest standing in the bathroom wiping his face. I paused at the door and asked if he was okay. He looked up with tears silently dripping and shook his head. When I questioned if something happened, again he shook his head. So I sat on the side of the tub and pulled him in my lap. I told him sometimes our heart tanks feel empty and need to be refilled. He cried into my chest and I held tight. I asked if he could feel my love filling him up? A nod, and tears stopped... I waited a minute... ‘Has it reached your toes yet?’ He shook his head no... ‘Okay man. We will take as long as you need. Work doesn’t matter right now. School isn’t important either. This right here, is the most important thing today, okay? Filling you back to the top. Is that good?’ *nods* One more minute... ‘Is your heart full of mamas love now?’ ‘Yeah...’ *looks in his eyes* I see it shining in there, you’re full to the top, and you’re smiling! Y’all. You may not be 8- you may be 28, 38, 48 or whatever- but ALL of us run on empty just like he did. His weekend was so busy and so full and his little soul was just dry!!! We all have to pause, and take a moment to refill with the good things. Scripture, prayer, sunshine, worship, song, laughter, friends, hugs. Refill your empty, or you’ll find those emotions (tears, anger, snappy words) overflowing with no reason why. Take a moment. Refill. It’s the most important part of your day!
