Last night, after she’d gone to bed, my 16 y/o daughter receives a text from a friend. (We keep electronics in our room at night). I know my daughter isn’t gonna see it for a while and I know the answer to the girl’s dance-class-related question. So I just pick up the phone and answer it really quick as if I’m my daughter and leave it at that. Tonight, I see her giggling over her phone. I ask what’s up. Apparently, the other girl’s mother had just wanted to get an answer to the question really quick, so she picked up HER daughter’s phone and texted mine as if she were her daughter. (basically both of us were too lazy to go through the rigmarole of explaining, “hi, this is Mrs. So-and-so, and here’s why I’m texting you on your friend’s phone…” But the funny part was how the two girls figured this out. Because the first one was so appalled at seeing her mother‘s perfectly punctuated and capitalized sentences, that she felt she needed to come clean that it was her mom lest my daughter think she is that conscientious. And my daughter, likewise, didn’t want her friend to think that SHE uses correct grammar when texting either. So what I learned today is that it is apparently humiliating to be caught correctly formulating sentences via text.

One year ago today, Leftists sent armed police officers to my door at 2AM on my birthday to terrorize our family. A call was made saying that my wife had been m*rdered and I was shot and to break down the door and shoot the intruders. The goal was obviously attempted m*rder. Yesterday, we were harassed at our home again with pizza deliveries we did not order, were not paid for, with instructions to "BANG ON DOOR LOUD, HARD OF HEARING..." Let me say this as plainly as I can: This didn't work last year, it isn't working now, and it won't work in the future. I'm louder today than I was the night these officers showed up. You picked the wrong people to target. And it's not because we're exceptional, but precisely because we're not. When you target someone ordinary, you don't just radicalize one person. You radicalized everyone around us who was watching us go through this too. Our neighbors saw it and were genuinely horrified. Our friends saw it, including some friends who were politically on the fence, who had been quietly sitting this whole thing out. These people saw what you did to a completely normal family in a completely normal neighborhood and that changed something in them and it changed something in us too. In fact, you couldn't have made a worse strategic decision. You created a group of my best friends that now ALL have each other's backs. I now know my local police officers by name, and they know me, and oh by the way... they are FREAKING AWESOME. Everything you tried to take away from us, you gave back twice over. Violence is not the answer to winning a debate you are currently losing, it's the sign that you've lost. So to everyone reading this is wondering if it's worth it... It is worth it. Not because nothing bad will happen, it might. But because the alternative is handing everything over the country to folks who are counting on your silence to stay in power. You don't have to be someone loud on X on me. You can just be honest in your own circle of friends and start saying the things you've been thinking. You can, like so many did for us, show up for the people in your community who are already standing up. I promise, you are not as alone as they want you to feel. You are just one honest conversation away from realizing you are actually inside a really big tent.

There is nothing cuter than the muffled barks of a sleeping dog chasing that bad squirrel. Am I right?
