Red-headed, left handed, conservative Texan.
🚨 President Donald J. Trump makes a statement on Iran:
Amnesty is a free pass. It is what exists now. With the DIGNITY Act, you come forward, you face the law, you pass background checks, you pay what you owe, and you earn your place or you get deported. Criminals? Gone. American workers? Protected. Our national security depends on it. Our economy demands it. Our communities need it. And yes, our faith calls us to do this the right way, with order and accountability. That’s enforcement. That’s DIGNITY. Calling this amnesty is a lie that keeps a broken system alive and Americans paying the price.
It’s actually not called the “Dignity Act” It’s called the “DIGNIDAD Act” It’s in a foreign language for added insult.
My statement announcing Taylor Sheridan as producer and director of an Alamo battle film for new museum at the Alamo. #txlege
Earthset. The Artemis II crew captured this view of an Earthset on April 6, 2026, as they flew around the Moon. The image is reminiscent of the iconic Earthrise image taken by astronaut Bill Anders 58 years earlier as the Apollo 8 crew flew around the Moon.
After yesterday’s post I went down a rabbit hole. Here’s what I found: Private equity now owns 30%+ of vet clinics. Up from 8% a decade ago. 75% of emergency and specialty care is corporate owned. Vet bills are up 60% in 10 years. The model is pay or euthanize.And it doesn’t matter if your vet is independent. The predatory pricing spread industry wide. Over 2,000 stories in the comments from people. My heart is heavy. Before you need emergency care, Google your vet’s parent company. Know what you’re walking into. And also… take your dog on the vacation, the beach run, the inconvenient extra packing, planning, whatever. Take them and do all the things. I am full of grief wishing I would have done so many things way more often, despite being wrapped in a very busy season of motherhood and business.
