Some advice…from one Texan to another

Body

Hello. I was born there in your fine city but unfortunately uprooted and....long story. 

But my point is, I live in Virginia now. I was on the Virginia Treasury Department website and ran across a lost property division. Of course, wormhole, there I go. I entered my name and I bet 200 claims came up under my name, but each had certain information different.  Town or middle initial different, etc. 

Let me back up. The further I went in, I noticed, the more personal information they required.  Anyway, I did it, and here's where Canadian comes in.

US Senator

Incumbent John Cornyn voted 93% of the time for Trump’s first term positions and for all second term Trump appointments.

Rogers: How far are Republican candidates willing to go with Trump?

Body

Recently, driving to my childhood home of Graham, my eyes darted toward a ginormous Trump flag, high on the tallest flagpole in the area, flapping in the northern breeze. I found the sight unsettling, not because it conveyed support for Trump; we see pro-Trump signs commonly in the rural areas around Possum Kingdom Lake. It was the sheer height, the singularity, and the prominence above all else that sent a chill up my spine. I think it illustrated how we have digressed as a nation, at least some in my political party.
