As a voting citizen of the State of Texas and the United States of America, I assert my right to freedom of speech, as protected by the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. This personal blog is a space where I express my views, engage in discourse, and reflect on matters that are important to me as a citizen.

The opinions, analyses, and positions articulated here are entirely my own and do not represent the views or policies of any state or federal institution, including those at which I may be employed.

My participation in public discussions through this platform is part of my lawful right to free speech and should be recognized as such by local, state, and federal authorities.

By publishing these posts, I enact my right as a native citizen to engage in open, public dialogue, separate from my professional affiliations or duties.
