In a series of posts on his Truth Social social media pIatform, former President Donald Trump declared his support for Gov. Abbott of Texas as Abbott’s Texas defies the federal government and defends its border, in some cases by excluding federal officials to keep them from processing migrants or cutting barbed wire border barriers.
Trump also called on the states to provide support for Gov. Abbot.
In the first post, Trump declared that he and his Administration had acted to strongIy defend the border, much in contrast to how it has remained shockingly porous under Biden. Commenting on that, he wrote, When I was President, we had the most secure Border in History.
Joe Biden has surrendered our Border, and is aiding and abetting a massive Invasion of millions of IllegaI Migrants into the United States.
Continuing, the former president called out President Biden for focusing on trying to restrain Gov. Abbott rather than trying to staunch the flow of illegaI immigrants across the border.
Doing so, he wrote, Instead of fighting to protect our Country from this onslaught, Biden is, unbelievably, fighting to tie the hands of Governor Abbott and the State of Texas, so that the Invasion continues unchecked.

Her final message, hidden behind the headstone photo, feels like the ultimate act of love—a treasure hunt to pass down the legacy of chosen family and intentional love.
The reveal of the adoption adds layers to her love story with Hailey and Elizabeth, showing that family isn’t merely formed by blood but by a thousand moments of choosing each other. Grandma Patty’s line about real love never ending but simply changing shape resonates perfectly with the story’s theme, giving Hailey and her mother both a final gift of clarity and belonging.
The cardinal as a symbol of her spirit and presence is such a beautiful touch, too, tying together memory, loss, and a sense of Grandma’s lasting presence. And through it all, the rituals and phrases they continue in her memory underscore the depth of her influence, even after her passing. The piece overall is such a tender, profound exploration of legacy, grief, and love that goes beyond life itself.
