ENOUGH. Enough with politicians who dictate what you can say, where you can eat, and whether you can go to church. Enough with politicians who ignore the stay-at-home lockdowns they impose on the rest of us. Enough with the Democrats' arrogance and hypocrisy.

The United States remains exceptional. And right now the eyes of the world are upon us. We must seize this opportunity to heal and grow stronger.
