A pair of green Converse shoes, drawings and personal pictures are just some of the remaining artifacts of the victims of the Uvalde, Texas, school shooting. Actor and Uvalde native Matthew McConaughey and his wife, Camila Alves McConaughey, discussed some of these items during an at times emotional news conference on Tuesday at the White House.
Matthew McConaughey was in Washington, D.C., to call on lawmakers to address gun control and to share details of the 21 victims who died in the shooting.
One of those victims was 10-year-old Maite Rodriguez. A lover of animals and the environment, she dreamed of becoming a marine biologist. She often wore a pair of green (her favorite color) high-top Converse shoes with a heart drawn in marker over her right toes.

Do you really believe they (Biden Admin) care enough to fix it?
I don’t want to be cynical, but I truly believe they know this violence will drive their agenda and continue to get them more votes.
Isn’t it obvious? They are derelict in the duty to uphold the oath they gave. That is to protect the lives and prosperity of “U S Citizens”.
What have we gotten from our Executive Branch And Congress and the “Left” in general?
