Thoughts for the day

Sunshine and warmth. It’s a great day.

I wish that Speaker Johnson was speaking the whole truth when he talks. His recent speech on the Continuing Resolution sounded great…just doesn’t match the fact that everyone hears.

Senator Mark Kelly (D-AZ) made a trip to Ukraine. He came back with some sobering information. Unelected immigrant Elon Musk decided it was a good time to call him a traitor. He gave no information that led him to that conclusion. Musk may be rich, but should not be calling our Senator a traitor with no proof. I’m sick of this kind of politics.

Symbols of USA and their hidden meaaning…

The Statue of Liberty

Standing tall in New York Harbor, the Statue of Liberty is a beacon of hope and freedom. Gifted by France, Lady Liberty symbolizes the democratic ideals shared by both nations.
She welcomes immigrants with open arms, representing the promise of a new beginning. Her torch, a symbol of enlightenment, and the tablet inscribed with the date of the American Declaration of Independence, speak to the nation's commitment to liberty and justice.
This iconic statue has witnessed countless stories of hope and aspiration, as newcomers arrived in search of the American Dream. Her presence on Liberty Island is a reminder of the values that define the United States.
