Born in Navarro County. Back home in Navarro County.
Worth spending 1505 miles in a car with this guy (though our wives undoubtedly helped with the sanity).
Mom is back home in Texas. Supposed to rain all day, but Mom held the weather off so we could have a beautiful service. 30 minutes later the skies opened up & we got a summer Texas storm with strong wind, a heavy downpour & thunder. Mom’s favorite type of weather! 🙏🏽

NOTE: She was a prior incumbent in the district. But never won with >54% of the vote.

Modern-day conservatism is entirely based not on any real expressions of freedom, but rather child-like tantrums and potentially self-damaging stunts in the name of "owning" whoever is trying to be the boss of them.
This is how Americans now interpret freedom: Not as a political condition in a democratic society, but as a constant chant of "you're not the boss of me." This is not freedom, or at least not freedom in any political sense. It's a child-like understanding of autonomy. /1
