Because of the landslide that took place that day, Catholics and other Pro-life groups will no longer have to fear being targeted by the FBI for their efforts in defending and protecting precious babies in the womb.

Parents all across our country will no longer have to fear being labeled ‘domestic terrorists’ for simply speaking up at school board meetings concerning the obscene reading materials that are placed in school libraries.

Men pretending to be women, invading women’s locker rooms and sports will no longer be tolerated.

Children and young adults will no longer be confused as to how many genders there are.

Tragedies like the horrific murder of beautiful people like Lakin Riley could have been prevented if the previous administration had simply followed the immigration laws that we already have in the books.

Skin color or gender no longer automatically puts you in the front of the line.
