We toured Italy & Greece. ❤️
Venice (on our own), then Ravenna, Santorini, Mykonos, Athens, Delos, & Cephalonia w/ a cruise line.
My son had major (major) surgery six months ago, but he did it all- 8 hour tours, 15k steps, 22 flights of stairs in a day, & beaches! Unforgettable.

DeSantis now leads Marco Rubio in betting odds to be the 2028 nominee.
I keep telling you, it’s DeSantis’ time to shine in 2028.

6. Called a hotline on the neighbors.
7. Clean pen jar, dirty pen jar.
8. Sturgis was a super-spreader. The protests weren't.
9. Closed the gyms.
Keep them coming.

Five things to teach your kids before they turn 18 and can vote:
1. Read the bill, not the headline.
2. Ask "compared to what?"
3. A chart can lie. So can the person explaining it.
4. Experts can be wrong. Ask who checked their work.
5. You can disagree with someone and still have them over for dinner.
Who has a really excellent honey corn bread recipe? That is my son’s new favorite thing, and I want to make it for Thanksgiving.:)

God we want to believe. Wouldn't it be so cool to live in a world with wild civilization changing discoveries happening regularly? That's the dream.

The Illinois GOP has burned to the ground. It’s time to rebuild.
After hearing from thousands of voters, donors and grassroots activists, I’m calling for a 2027 Illinois Republican Convention.
Give the grassroots a voice. Illinois deserves a real opposition party.

The last straw for me as a teacher was a PD titled, "No More Trivial Pursuit!" We were told kids shouldn't study the War of 1812 (which they didn't anyway). Instead they should "grapple with essential questions like, 'Is war ever justified?'" A formula for creating idiots.
I wanted autonomy mainly b/c I didn't want to be forced to use PBL, inquiry, rich tasks or any number of ineffective fads. I'm fairly certain I'm not alone in this

I find Trump’s claim that @RonDeSantis lacks personality utterly unconvincing. DeSantis is a man of exceptional intellect, substance, and accomplishment. A degree in history from Yale, home to one of the world’s premier history departments. A Harvard Law degree. Distinguished military service. A Bronze Star.
His credentials are precisely what one should expect of a serious presidential contender: intellectual rigor, discipline, public service, and a command of substantive policy.
His criticism of conservative media also raises legitimate questions that deserve serious consideration.
Personality is no substitute for substance. DeSantis exemplifies excellence at every level.

Undercover ATF agents went shooting with David Koresh nine days before the deadly Waco raid. One agent even allowed Koresh to shoot his pistol.
The ATF would later claim that a paramilitary raid was necessary because Koresh was too dangerous and elusive.
Blaming voters is a cop out.
@DarrenBaileyIL ran again after Pritzker fed 30 million into his 2022 campaign.
Did the GOP oppose him? Speak against him? Discourage him in any way?
Democrats also vote “defensively” during primaries here, so Bailey had their vote, too. 🙃
The unwillingness of the Illinois Republican primary voters to read the detailed well thought out policy positions of Ted Dabrowski then support him as a candidate, showed how disinterested they are in trying to bring real change to Illinois
Instead they supported a candidate with name recognition whose primary campaign was donated to by Pritzker in both 2022 and 2026 so as to assure that Bailey would be his general election opponent
This speaks volumes as to why the Republicans continue to fail in Illinois, they just don’t care

I just told someone today, elections are a reflection of how willing people are to protect their own children.
We have our work cut out for us across America.
And it absolutely starts at home!
On @NTDNews the other night I was asked a very good question that is on the mind of every American. You can see my answer in the video below.
If you’re discouraged after this election, take a breath. There is a solution. And it starts closer to home than you think.
Following a bloodbath for conservatives, the temptation will be to go straight back to what helped get us here: focusing on things we cannot control while ignoring the areas where we can make a difference.
The path to success usually isn’t a secret. Think about losing weight: Eat better. Exercise more. Most people know what to do. The difficulty is doing the mundane, repetitive work CONSISTENTLY, especially when the results take time.
Local work demands that same patience.
The Democrats have understood the value of that slow, institutional long game. Too many Republicans have treated the national political soap opera as the whole battlefield. Then we act surprised when the institutions shaping the next generation keep moving in the opposite direction.
At Courage Is A Habit, we keep pounding on this: spend less time consumed by things you cannot control and more time working where you actually have influence.
Look at the middle school three blocks from your house.
What are children being taught under the labels “empathy,” “anti-bullying,” “mental health,” “inclusion,” and “be kind”? Parents need to know when those words are being used to disguise Marxist indoctrination. Read beyond the reassuring titles and examine the actual lessons.
You cannot undo an election by watching another hour of people arguing about it. You CAN start finding out what your child will be taught on Monday. ***See comments below for tools.***
There is still meaningful work within reach. Your children still need you. Other parents need to know they are not alone.
Start close to home. Be specific. Be consistent.
Courage is a habit. Keep practicing it.
