What a cool scene in Blytheville this past weekend!
I had the best time at the National Cold War Center’s Cold War Gala with Elizabeth Carlock Phillips and Representative Cameron Parker. We were in Hangar 207 at the old Eaker Air Force Base, listening to General Wesley Clark give the keynote and seeing original pieces of the Berlin Wall up close.
The Center brought 36 sections of the Wall to Blytheville — the largest publicly viewable collection outside Berlin. Standing there with those pieces of history all around us was something else. Looking at the graffiti, I couldn’t help but think about how difficult those times were. We are incredibly blessed to be born and raised in America. 🇺🇸
What a memorable evening. ❤️ ...
FLY FISHING SUGGESTIONS NEEDED!
Y’all, I’ve wanted to learn to fly fish for over 10 years! 🎣
Now that I’m out of public service, I have more personal time—so I’m determined to start checking a few things off that bucket list!
Fishing has always been a love of mine; fly fishing seems like such a level up! Standing in a beautiful stream, learning to cast a line, and enjoying God’s creation sounds like heaven to me.
Now I just need somebody with a whole lot of patience to teach me! 😂If y’all have suggestions on locations and time of year—from personal experience only—please drop in comments. 🎣 ...
Atlas shrugged…
Don’t let fear from this election steal your peace.
Somewhere along the way, politics has become like a never-ending soap opera. And we’ve gotten so caught up in the daily drama that I think sometimes we forget to enjoy the life God has given us and we sometimes forget that regardless of who is in control — we still live in the greatest nation in the world. 🇺🇸
Our country has been through changes in political power before, and we’ll go through them again. Sometimes a little balance in Washington, and Missouri, isn’t such a bad thing. It means both sides will have to work a little harder to find common ground.
Remember, no matter who’s in charge in Washington, God is still on the throne. ❤️
There’s always something to be grateful for. ...

When this happens, it's usually because the owner only shared it with a small group of people, changed who can see it or it's been deleted.Important information to share...This spring, the Missouri Department of Public Safety and our state partners warned about the extreme danger posed by nitazenes – synthetic opioids considered five to 10 times more dangerous than fentanyl. Health authorities were concerned because these lab-made opioids were showing up in wastewater sampling from Missouri schools and in counterfeit pills, powders and vapes.
‼️⚠️Now, another dangerous synthetic opioid that’s also considered to be up to 10 times more deadly than fentanyl – cychlorphine – is concerning health officials across the country.
▶️Los Angeles County has just confirmed its first death linked to cychlorphine.
▶️In April, the White House Office of National Drug Control Policy reported 55 deaths had been linked to cychlorphine dating back to 2025.
Cychlorphine suppresses breathing, causing severe, life-threatening respiratory and cardiovascular depression.
It is currently undetectable by fentanyl testing strips and is being mixed into the illicit drug supply without people knowing.
▶️Naloxone works with cychlorphine, just as it does with nitazenes. But multiple doses may be required to reverse an overdose caused by opioids.
▶️Treat any illicit substance as a potential risk. Stay informed, stay prepared, avoid illicit substances and carry naloxone. It’s safe to use and saves lives.

Marriage visas at 16 are trafficking. Period.
See more for information on the federal work to ban child marriage.👇We are grateful that Sen. Durbin has introduced the federal Child Marriage Prevention Act.
But we cannot prevent child marriage if we set the spousal visa age at 16 instead of 18! Or if we pay states to STUDY child marriage instead of BANNING it!
AMEND Section 10: The spousal visa must be 18 — not 16. No exceptions.
STRIKE Section 6: Do not reward states that "study" child marriage instead of ending it.
