- To translate: what they’re proposing is to defund public schools.Lt. Gov. @WinsomeSears and @DelGlennDavis are holding a press conference right now to discuss the bill that would set aside a portion of the state education funding allocated to each child and deposits it into an education savings account for the parents to use for other options
- I am alive so must live. Some wounds won't heal. Your prayers and your friendship are important to me
- Last week saw a bill about ivermectin in the Senate of Virginia. That is the substance I use to deworm equine. Lots of statements were made. Had me thinking many people need to go back and review Plato's Allegory of the Cave.
- 2 weeks of a wandering vacation are over. Thanks to all who helped bring Mia the wonder dog, the Envigo beagle home!

- Questionable use of state tax dollars. Last time I checked, Virginia has no border with Mexico, or a foreign policy: Youngkin deploys 100 Virginia National Guard troops for border enforcement in Texas virginiamercury.com/2023/05/31/you… via @MercuryVirginia
- Yesterday, Virginia Senate Democrats voted down a handful of Republican bills that tried to limit access to the ballot box, including doing away with same-day voter registration. We must continue to protect our freedom to vote.
