Call him what He is

I am not able to read articles or look at photos of the dear young 22-year-old woman, Laken Riley without a broken heart and tears. She was allegedly abducted and brutally murdered by a 26-year-old illegal Venezuelan on February 22, 2024.

How sorrowful I am for the sadness and unnecessary loss this family has to suffer from the wicked hands of this suspected illegal killer.

I can hardly imagine how Ms. Riley’s parents must have felt with President Biden’s remark, “I shouldn’t have used ‘illegal’; it’s ‘undocumented’ . Call him what he is. He is an illegal.

It is embarrassing this President allows himself to be bullied into using sophomoric descriptions so as not to upset the illegal. Not only that, it is wrong.

He is an illegal here in our country. An illegal that has now allegedly murdered an innocent young woman for no reason and horribly re-arranged an entire families life.

What would you call him if it was your daughter he abducted and brutally murdered?

Five Minute Friday Writing Prompt—Dedicate

Timer on…

The first words that came to mind for this week writing prompt were:

“We have come to dedicate a portion of that field…”

It seems fitting the Gettysburg Address will comprise my thoughts for today. I pray all who read this will be reminded of the difficult task our early leaders toiled tirelessly for for this great country they passed to us. May we each do our part in keeping it.

“Sir, what have you given us?” a woman on the street asked Benjamin Franklin after signing the Constitution.

“A Republic, ma’am…if you can keep it”, was his reply.
