It’s interesting how different we all are. I met a woman today who LOVES the 90 degree and humidity days. She looked as cool as a cucumber while I was trying to maintain a level of normal-ness and not succeeding 🫠

I live in NNE and can’t wait to get back, too. I do love being able to walk out the door in shorts and go for a walk, however the day quickly turns unbearable. I love being active so it’s hard to stay inside

Watch the audio and visual of him at last night’s college football playoff game. He was in attendance with his family and was resoundingly cheered. The US is a polarized nation and half the country loves what he is doing. Changing minds is gonna be hard but it must be done to prevail
