18 Minutes

Have you ever thought about 18 minutes? It can go by in the blink of an eye if you’re doing something really fun. But sometimes 18 minutes can seem like a long time if you’re sitting in the dentist’s chair or stuck in a traffic jam.

Sadly, we just learned about one woman’s last 18 minutes, and it should convict all of us to get involved in the battle to save America.

Eighteen minutes was the time it took for Jose Ibarra, an illegal alien and a monster, to brutally murder Laken Riley. Those 18 minutes were described in a courtroom as family and friends wept in agony.

Adding to my frustration and anger about this inexcusable and completely preventable crime is the fact that we were all unknowing accomplices in Riley’s murder.

It turns out that Ibarra was flown by the Biden/Harris administration, at taxpayer expense, on a “humanitarian flight” from New York City, a left-wing sanctuary city, to Georgia, where he stalked Laken Riley and killed her.

That flight was anything but “humanitarian” for Laken Riley.

There are millions of illegal aliens in our country. More than 1.3 million of them are here in defiance of court orders to leave the country. Ignoring a court deportation order is a criminal offense punishable by four years in jail. We also know that so-called “sanctuary cities” are protecting thousands upon thousands of criminal illegal aliens.

Virtually every day since the election, left-wing governors, mayors, state legislators, and left-wing groups are declaring that they will do everything they can to protect who they call “our people.”

But they don’t mean Laken Riley, and they don’t mean citizens like you. They mean people like Jose Ibarra and other illegal aliens. These so-called “progressives” are pledging to resist Donald Trump’s effort to make America safe again for actual citizens.

We won a great victory on Election Day. But the war for the heart and soul of America is far from over. The left isn’t giving up. And neither can we. All of us must be active in this fight to save America.

The next four years may well be the most important four years in America’s history. American Values and I plan to do more than we have ever done before, and there is so much to do. I pray that God will move many to join our cause and to continue to support our work in defense of Faith, Family, and Freedom.
