I’m a black woman whose ancestors were enslaved in Georgia and South Carolina under horrific conditions.

Here is the lesson I would like to teach every Border Patrol agent: None of you have the right to degrade or insult another. You have to be an elected politician and a member of Congress to do that.
Each year on the Fourth of July, we should remember to celebrate not just our independence, but also the selfless patriots who secured the liberties we still enjoy.
President Trump’s Fourth of July Salute to America includes displays of military hardware – tanks, Bradley fighting vehicles, and a combat aircraft flyover. Too much? Many in the liberal media think so, but what do average Americans think? I think they understand.
This July, we not only celebrate the anniversary of our nation’s founding, we celebrate the moment that American courage and ingenuity reached beyond Earth.
