Today I rise to recognize the Heartland Horseshoeing School in Lamar, Missouri, as our district's Small Business of the Month. Chris and Kelly Gregory opened the school back in 1995 and have since been leaders in teaching the craft of horseshoeing and blacksmithing. This school is more than just a business. It is a place where students from all over the world can learn a skill that has been very important for centuries. The Gregorys' work is a reminder of how vital small business is to America. They are not just teaching a trade; they are keeping our heritage strong and helping our economy grow. Their reach goes far beyond our district, Mr. Speaker. Their YouTube channel shares their knowledge with more than 220,000 subscribers. Folks like the Gregorys show us what we can do when we achieve with hard work and passion the dreams that make us great in America. Congratulations to Chris and Kelly Gregory. Their work is shaping the future of horseshoeing and showing the power of small businesses in America. ____________________

How dare they. How dare they conflate the names of two great people: Nelson Mandela and Rosa Parks--books about these heroes--and conflate them about books about sexual promiscuity of our children. How dare they. I am starting to see in my…
