Trump’s Triumphs
President Donald Trump has been in office just over six months. His accomplishments in that brief time are truly historic.
He has dramatically changed the world trading system from what it has been since the late 1980s to now. “Free trade” became the mantra of the D.C. Uniparty. Communist China was allowed into the World Trade Organization, and it destroyed many U.S. industries. Administrations of both parties looked the other way as America’s manufacturing base was gutted.
Of course, President Trump has faced a lot of pushback from foreign leaders. That’s because they have no memory of an American president who was interested in America first and in them only after we were taken care of.
By the way, in his spare time when he wasn’t getting the European Union to agree to a new trade deal, Trump made two phone calls and secured a ceasefire between Cambodia and Thailand.
How? Very simply. He told them, “Listen, we’re doing a trading deal, and I’m not going to be doing a deal if you’re going to be killing each other.” The only hope those countries have for the future is vibrant trade with the United States.
In fact, President Trump has successfully negotiated either one trade deal or peace deal every month he has been in office!
America has always been in a position of strength. But we were led by presidents who said we were in a position of weakness and couldn’t risk offending the rest of the world. So, foreign countries took advantage of us, and our “leaders” hailed it as “free trade.”
Maryland Madness
In stark contrast to Trump’s accomplishments on behalf of American workers, Democrats are making headlines fighting for illegal aliens. This is what Democrats do now.
They storm immigration facilities and assault federal law enforcement officers.
They travel to foreign countries to have drinks with gang members because that’s what their constituents really care about. Not!
They show up unannounced at immigration facilities and demand to be let in. When they are refused entry, they stage a sit-in like drugged-out college students from the 60s. That’s what Maryland Democrats did yesterday in a failed effort to check on their “constituents”—their word, not mine.
There is a federal law known as the FACE Act that says you can’t in any way interfere with a woman about to enter an abortuary to destroy her preborn child. Some member of Congress should offer an amendment adding immigration detention centers to the list of “protected places” in America.
But you know how Democrats would vote. They would all vote against it. They will fall on their sword to make sure no abortion is interrupted and to make sure no illegal alien is deported. They don’t want babies, but they do want lots of illegal aliens.
Saving The West
During the first Trump administration, I was invited to an event sponsored by the White House Faith Office with the president and first lady. Toward the end of the dinner, President Trump asked if anyone had any comments to make. So, I raised my hand and said:
“Mr. President, everyone knows you are committed to making America great again. But I think it is possible when history books are finally written, they will record that you not only made America great again, but you also saved Western Civilization, the civilization that has brought more freedom and economic opportunity to the world than any other civilization in history.”
President Trump was very gratified by my remarks.
What brought that exchange to mind is Trump’s latest trip to Europe. Unlike any president I can recall, other than Ronald Reagan, who was occasionally willing to embarrass his host when he felt it was necessary, Donald Trump rarely hesitates to voice his concerns related to his overseas trips.
As soon as he landed in Scotland, Trump warned European leaders:
“On immigration, you better get your act together, or you’re not going to have Europe anymore. . . last month we had nobody entering our country. Nobody. [We] shut [the border] down. . . But you’re allowing it to happen to your countries, and you got to stop this horrible invasion that’s happening to Europe. . . Immigration is killing Europe.”
Trump repeated his concerns in meetings with British Prime Minister Keir Starmer and European Union President Ursula von der Leyen directly to their faces. He warned that the governments of Europe were deeply out of touch with their populations. You could see Britain’s leftist prime minister squirming in his seat.
Like America, Britain is a deeply divided nation, and the British people have had it. They want the government to deploy the Royal Navy to stop the migrant invasion of their country.
But rather than deploying the navy, Starmer’s government is deploying special police forces to monitor British citizens who want the migrant invasion of their country to be stopped. That is the threat the government sees—it sees the British people as the threat.
So, as the British government and its political establishment are replacing the native British population with mostly Muslim Third World migrants, globalist politicians are cracking down on the liberties of the native British people to prevent them from fighting back.
That is what is happening right in front of our eyes, and President Trump is calling it out.
Meanwhile, the president of France is going all out for sovereignty. He wants a new nation-state for Palestine, while he refuses to defend the people of the state he leads. And President Trump is calling that out, too.
All over Europe, the people of various nations who still believe there is a God pray they can elect a leader like Donald Trump before it’s too late.
Prayers For NYC
The police investigation into yesterday evening’s shooting in New York City continues. A brave New York City police officer and three civilians were killed when a murderer stormed a Manhattan office building. We offer our prayers for the victims’ families and those wounded in this senseless act of violence.
Mayor Eric Adams said that the shooter was likely targeting the NFL headquarters, which are located in the building, but he got on the wrong elevator bank.
In another sign of how obsessed the Left is with race, one CNN talking head was quick to say that the shooter appeared to be a white man. He was clearly not a white man. But in the eyes of many leftists, he became a white man once he opened fire.
In a bizarro note, there is a video of a woman outside the building in handcuffs and surrounded by police. She was being forcibly taken away from the area of the shooting. Reports indicate she was shouting, “Free Palestine,” during the massacre.
Do these people just wander around the city looking to exploit tragedies for their barbaric cause?
The Victims Tour
If the June Pride parades weren’t enough for you, now we have the “Pride Victims Tour.” The Human Rights Campaign, the nation’s largest LGBTQ lobbying group, is launching a tour of Red states to convince conservative voters of the righteousness of the LGBTQ cause.
Of course, their main talking point is the claim they are “victims” of bigotry and hate, and they are going “to where the harm is happening.”
The rhetoric of these LGBTQ activists bears no relationship to anything that is actually happening in America. The whole narrative is that the constitutional liberties of LGBTQ people are being attacked and their identities are being “erased.”
What attacks and hatred are they talking about? Are mobs of Christians attacking LGBTQ clubs? No. But there has been a growing number of transgender activists engaged in violence, including killing Christian kids.
What “rights” are being taken away? Well, let’s be very specific about that.
The efforts of the LGBTQ crowd to take away the rights of normal people have hit a brick wall. Parents are telling LGBTQ activists to get their “alternative lifestyles” out of their children’s classrooms and faces.
Parents are fighting back against Frankenstein doctors and greedy hospitals that want to mutilate their children.
Female athletes are standing up and saying, “I’m a woman. You’re not. But you are taking away my hard work, my dreams, and my right to privacy.”
For years, our government was on the side of the LGBTQ extremists. Now, we have a government that is on our side, and the Human Rights Campaign is furious.
What the LGBTQ crowd is complaining about is that under presidents like Joe Biden, they owned the White House. They could show off their perversions on the White House lawn. They could use the government to force LGBTQ indoctrination on our children. But now that they have lost power, they are claiming the language of persecution.
How dare they!
