@NancyMace
is the trash in the GOP Conference.
Never attacked by Democrats or RINO’s (same thing) because she is not conservative, she’s pro-abort.
Mace you can back up off of

In late Jan early Feb, my colleagues and I will be more formally introducing
@thepublicmoney
and publishing a report on monetary policy in the era of pandemics and climate crises. This is going to be important given the Fed signaling that it wants to raise rates. Stay tuned…
My goal in LA while I’m here is to drop to 185lbs, wake up at 5am for morning prayers and meditations, and to truly release the burdens of mistakes I’ve made, move forward. Also to pass BBB and start my Plant Dad IG.
My work is personal to me. As a person raised by an elderly woman who needed Home Care and in my teens I had to sacrifice to make sure she was cared for. As a father who needed childcare so that we could get back to work. Care Work Matters.

Love is my political ideology.
I almost can’t breathe. I just. I was literally reading her writings again this week. All About Love and The Will To Change along with prayer and therapy has truly gotten me through one of the hardest year as an adult for me. A true giant.
