I’m a dedicated father, veteran, and lifelong learner in social work and leadership for family well-being and mental health. I believe in the power of love, purpose, and positive change. My journey has led me to speak and teach globally.

I was truly blessed to be asked to be a premier speaker at the California Headstart directors leadership Institute in Newport Beach, California on Monday. I asked them a simple question. “Do you can either fight, flight, freeze or fawn!?” Fight is freedom

Stephen Miller’s rhetoric pathologizes political opposition and fuels extremism. Framing “the left” as terrorists is not patriotism—it’s propaganda that endangers judges, families, and democracy itself. Leadership demands truth, not demagoguery.

Stephen Miller on X: "The issue before is now is very simple and clear. There is a large and growing movement of leftwing terrorism in this country. It is well organized and funded. And it is shielded by far-left Democrat judges, prosecutors and attorneys general. The only remedy is to use legitimate" / X

It’s heartbreaking to still see this kind of ignorance and racism. America was built on the lives and cultures of Indigenous peoples, the forced labor of enslaved Africans, and to deny that truth is to deny history itself by clinging to hate, MAGA must GO back

Just to note. January 23, 2019 there was a vote to reopen government (HJ RES 28, roll call vote 46) when the govt had been shut down for 30 days.
Mike Johnson voted “no” on that.
They didn’t seem to mind shutdowns then

Bondi orders D.C. mayor to recognize DEA head as “emergency police commissioner” - The Washington Post
This is dictatorship and I implore all Americans to rise up against this tyranny. I pray for the DC law enforcement and that they do not follow any direction other than the mayor or Chief of Police

Boston Mayor Michelle Wu announced Tuesday that she signed an executive order seeking greater transparency from federal immigration officials. She said the city will submit regular Freedom of Information Act requests to find out who ICE is detaining and on what grounds.
