The four years between President Trump’s two terms in office were gruesome and put our nation on life-support. 2025 was a year of healing and restoration. Utilizing great surgical prowess, DJT and his incredible cabinet, advisors and officials laid the foundation for 2026, which was driven by the commitment to reclaim our identity and reassert America’s place in the world.

The clean-up on aisle four was immense, with still more work to do. Yet, as our nation steps into its 250th year, our foundation has been restored with a renewal of faith, freedom, family, and prosperity.  The golden age of this nation is not merely a memory – it is likely materializing before our eyes resulting in 2026 being extraordinary.

However, we must not take our hands off the wheel, or our foot off the pedal. The poisoning influx of radical Islamism, socialism, communism, and the wrought of corruption is penetrating the fabric of our nation at warp speed. As the onion is being pealed back to reveal all this evil, we need to fight like heck to adhere to the concepts that bind us together as a Republic: Our Constitution; Our History; Our English Language; Our Religion (most critical); Our Cultural Traditions; and Our Institutions.

When Benjamin Franklin was asked by Elizabeth Powel following the 1787 Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia is we had “a republic or a monarchy?” Franklin responded, “A republic if you can keep it.”

Well, can we keep it. We can if we put God first, stay informed, get involved, and vote as if your life depended on it, because it just might.

“Do not remember the things that have happened before. Do not think about the things of the past. See, I will do a new thing. It will begin happening now. Will you not know about it?  I will even make a road in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert.”  Isaiah 43:18-19

Now firmly believe ‘Dems’ are full blown Marxists; using traditional Communist ploys to undermine/takeover [everything from schools & media to many corporations] America. Each time Trump wins, the left cranks up its propaganda machines/spokesholes to lie/slam him & conservatives. Striking similarities when/how Hungary was taken over by Communists.

I am concerned about the mid-terms and what can happen if Republicans do what they normally do. And that’s; stay home and don’t vote! Keep the ball rolling, letting libs in at that time puts a screeching halt on the momentum and makes the previous 2 years a waste. VOTE!

Trump has done a remarkable job in his first year. That being said Republicans must continue to push harder before th de next election in mid term and back him 100%. Vance will continue to improve his status with the GOP and should be a viable candidate in 2028. Dems will ne e change and their idea of what America should be is dangerous and disturbing. In mid terms they present aa real problem and we must retain house and senate to survive. We’ve in dangerous times for the future of this great country and God help us if Dems regain house or senate or both.

It’s great that all this stealing , fraud , and corruption is being pointed out but now I want to see people held accountable ! I don’t care how much money they have ! If they broke the law lock them up just like they would me ! Nobody should be above the law ! One set of laws for all of us !!!

Trump and DOJ need to get several states under control like Minnesota and that deep, deep corruption and continue to get Somalians out of this country ASAP. The big Muslim “living community ” in Texas needs demolished!! Arrest of Walz needs done now…he may try to escape to China!! The Somalians in Columbus, Oh need deported and their wealth confiscated and given back to our state. Who in Ohio in our state government allowed illegitimate daycare without checking? They should be fired!!!

I believe the current administration is on the correct path to improve the daily lives of Americans. I am very concerned with the erosion of our basic National / personal values. The outside influence of the CCP, Islamic Agitators, and the liberal left are doing everything they can to indoctrinate our younger citizens against our founding principals.

The Republicans need to come up with solutions to insurance and other healthcare issues instead of just bashing past policies.
The country needs to bite the bullet and push people off “free “ programs and reward those who work hard and save. Unless we move stronger to the right and make the family important again people will count on the government to support them and vote accordingly.

I am concerned the the two so-called Republican controlled houses of Congress don’t get their collective asses together they will lose in November and everything Trump has done and wants to do will be for naught. The biggest would be all of the Democrap criminals will never be held accountable which will allow them to continue their fraud and corruption and destruction of America!

Republicans need to get energized and get the vote out, or the dems are going to creep into office, and then what? A lot of moaning, so get off your butt and get the vote out. I really believe the dems have lost their way. Hate does not win in the end, but it sure causes problems along the way. Dems are so good at doing this. Tired of limp voters and politicians. Get fired up.

I’m so sick of the Republicans weak promises to “hold people accountable” for so many issues, from the Russia hoax lies to J-6, to the current Somali fraud, on and on…… The demoncrats can somehow successfully toss people in prison just for showing up on January 6, 2021, and hold them with no charges, but the Republicans just talk about it and threaten to “put them on the hot seat” or “bring them in front of a committee” and other meaningless gestures. Bondi, Noem, Patel, are all talking about jail time, handcuffs, on and on, but NOTHING ever materializes, just talk. The democrats can bring false charges that stick while the republicans can’t make real fraud, perjury, etc. amount to anything more than meaningless gestures.

If the people in government are not held accountable for their crimes that they committed in 2020 and other elections we are lost as a country. When politicians and government officials are caught most times nothing happens. Here in Georgia they finally admit that 35,000 thousand votes were illegally counted in the 2020 election and it’s looking like the Secretary of State was probably in on it.

My biggest fears for our country are as a former military, law enforcement, civil servant, and volunteer who has taken the oath of allegiance to uphold our Constitution and the constitutional laws of our country, is that we may not be able to reverse what career politicians and the Democratic Socialist Progressive Party and their members has turned our country into over the last 60 years with only glimses attempted turn around. We have become a society dependent on the government for way too many basic needs: food, shelter, healthcare, and energy. We are addicted to screens and electronics for our thinking and influencing, rather than our own critical thinking, to resolve issues and differences. The family unit is all but dissolved due to self-indulgence and lack of faith in God. I genuinely believe Civil War will break out over the next 3-5 years due to the influx of non-assimilated immigrants, legal and illegal, Muslims and other religious sects, gangs, and criminals, and socialists versus Republicans! If America, the USA, falls, so does the world!

I see a civil war. Two sides totally opposed to each other and so far only one side has resorted to violence. That same side has supported and helped to bring in illegals to aid the violence they want. I believe the other side will start now because they are realizing you don’t win on defense. Also the government is out of control. The elected public servants no longer represent We The People as they are supposed to. They represent corporations and foreign governments who ever pays them the most and both sides are fed up with that.

I’m optimistic because I know that one day Jesus is coming back. I’m concerned because even though Trump is doing great things for our country, the idea that a city which is the financial capital of the world would elect a communist at this point baffles me. I’m worried that once our older generation is gone there are just too many with too little understanding to continue in the right direction.

I believe that the Trump administration and the republican party will have to fight hard against the corruption that has happened under the Obama and Biden regime. We as Americans can be too kind hearted and have let the country slowly be destroyed before our eyes. I watched my daughters become socialist after sending them to college in liberal states. I can’t believe that they think socialism is going to help America. My god give us the strength to stand up and protect our rights and our way of life.

I’m an old man who grew up in the 50’s , in the country, with a mother who was a Rosie during WWII and a father who went from Normandy to Berlin. I’ve seen some of the best politicians-in my opinion- and some of the worst politicians-again my opinion- trying to run our country . In the past twenty years or more I have witnessed wholesale rot of government on both sides of the aisle. It seems that once someone gets elected to whatever position they achieve in government they forget all the fancy speeches of help people, do FOR people, unite people, work FOR THE PEOPLE, and you very seldom hear about them again until they get on a magazine cover for being rich! Oh sure the roads get a new blacktop applied and some little tax reduction happens but we’re talking long term future impact with our own citizens and foreign governments where these people fall flat on their faces due to their incompetence to be able to actually do the necessary work of the position they were elected to. Right now we have hundreds of low intelligence people who have big mouths and the gift of gab getting elected to jobs that they have no business being involved with. What happened in New York City is a prime example of what we all should be very scared of happening again anywhere else in America. We kicked God out of our public schools and we are still paying a price for allowing that to happen. America has lost its moral compass, it’s common sense, and now we have a chance with a president who knows what nonsense is and has no time for it. Blunt truth and blunt speak to make sure anyone can understand what he says is exactly what he is thinking. No mumble jumbo thousand dollar words— like him or not we have a chance to turn our country around, and if it has to be done by grabbing people and make them understand, kicking and screaming at us, then so be it. If we fail, America will become a postscript in a future history book! The job worth doing is always hard to do correctly but to do it any other way is not going to give you any satisfaction in the end. Bring back GOD and Jesus Christ and maybe GOD BLESS AMERICA will happen again! Peace be With America and all the World. Please.

I’m tired of all the doom and gloom in the comments. Trump is president, he is not God. We did not get in the situation we are in overnight. It will take time to correct it. Trump has kept more promises than any other president I can remember. We have become an “instant” society. Not everything can be fixed in an instant. Not everything that Trump does is going to be approved of every time by everybody. He’s human, he can have a different viewpoint than you sometimes, and that’s OK. But he is trying his hardest to get our country back on track and operating for the best for all of us. It’s taken 50 years to pull our country to its knees. It will take time to recover. God has given us another chance to recover through putting Trump at the helm. Pull up your big boy and big girl pants and step in to help restore our nation, instead of being critical Nelly.

Trump has done some great things. But if he doesn’t do something about voting fraud, money fraud and putting Dems in prison, he will lose the midterms and all will be for nothing. I fear at that point American citizens will take matters into their own hands.

We have always heard about the “silent majority” and I believe that is who woke up and elected President Trump. However, I am very concerned that our majority is shrinking to the the point where”Americans” are becoming outnumbered in our own country. People seem to be coming to this country not to be part of us but rather to take over for their own purposes.

With President Trump leading us, I am quite optimistic in regards to the direction our country is going. However, a copious amounts of fraud, outright theft, and other criminal activities have been uncovered by both DOGE, and independent investigations, like the Somali fraud in MN, OH, ME and WA so far. The majority of American people are demanding people go to jail, and sooner rather than later. The federal government has a history of dragging out “investigations” far too long. Let’s get busy and get these driminals arrested/indicted and get the process of justice underway.

The absence of prosecutions, or even full exposure of senior Democratic AND Republican leaders’ misconduct will be a lasting, damaging stain on our Federal Government’s reputation, and credibility. I appreciate the “balancing act” that President Trump must be walking, to root out corruption without losing support, but progress, in the form of corrupt leaders going to jail, and activist judges stopping any action, cannot remain.

Though Trump has made significant advances we need to get our government under control, we need term limits and get the career politicians out of office, off our payroll and benefits the way it was mentioned by our founding fathers. My other major concern is the Islamic take over in cities, state legislature and government offices and the massive waste of tax dollars for supposed Islamic daycare. This needs immediate attention on our home soil more that protecting innocents in the middle east.

I truly believe we are headed in the right direction for the following reasons:

First, and foremost, there seems to be a resurgence of faith in God in this country. Charlie Kirk “kick-started” it, and his assassination put it in overdrive.

Secondly, President Trump’s love for this country, coupled with his determination and understanding, have put America back on track to becoming strong, vibrant, and respected/feared. BUT, this will all be for naught if we don’t make gains in both chambers of congress during the midterm elections. The demonrats hate what he is doing and will stop at nothing to undo it all.

Immigration is the worst problem facing the country. Too many foreigners coming in that are hostile to American culture. Radical Muslims are bent on taking over America by buying up businesses and infiltrating neighborhoods by displacing Americans.Immigration should be halted for the next 50 years and all illegal aliens and those hostile to our culture should be deported. After the moratorium, the immigration policy that was in force prior to 1965 should be restored.

My outlook in America’s future?
Bleak, we have no future at this point. The people we sent to Washington that we entrusted to represent us and uphold the constitution, are failing us. They are all frauds, including republicans, but for a handful.

Where are the raids?
Where are the handcuffs?
Where are the perp walks?
Where are the indictments?
Where are the trials?
Where are the convictions?

All the alphabet agencies spouting off about the evidence, the proof, the “we got ’em now!!!”
Yet nothing!!!!

The money stolen from the taxpayers, yet we still send foreign aid EVERYWHERE!!!

The invasion of illegals into the country, yet another 5.6 billion approved by congress for aid to “migrants”.

The J6 committee still free and the clock’s about run out on the statute of limitations.

The evidence stacking up in multiple states that the 2020 election was stolen from trump and legal voters.

The judges appointed by autopen still sitting on the bench – passing judgment on you and me – the taxpayers!!!!

The liberal judges, the democrats and most of the republicans violating the oathes they swore to protect the Constitution…..and their systematic shredding of that sacred document.

Yet nothing…

I wish I could be more optimistic, however Congress is not taking action to vote for policies for which President Trump was elected. The whole Epstein issue, yes he/they were/are egregious criminal, but right now we must stop the corruption in our government. Lots of talking, little action. Because of the inaction many of us who truly want our Constitutional Republic back are demoralized, while the Democrats are salivating over their communist mayor of NYC. They would enforce the devil, we are fighting among ourselves, threatening not to vote in the 2026 election. The Democrats will stick together regardless consequences. Conservatives will stay home rather than vote because they aren’t happy with their candidate because he/she….. It’s very hard to remain optimistic. I will vote, my hubby will vote, and we will take our elderly neighbors to vote. Will you?

I think the country, despite Trump’s best efforts, is heading for disaster. The left sings its siren song of free everything in paradise and our foolish compatriots gladly cast their ballots for it. I fear Trump is but a bump in the road to the socialist takeover of the U.S., the election of Mamdani and Katie Wilson being the lastest in the trend. This trend puts me in mind of the seven deadly sins, all of which are at the root of leftism:

Pride: “We’re the intellectual and cultural elite, oh so much more enlightened than those in Trump country.”

Greed: They want your stuff and they want it now.

Lust: The LGBTQ+ frenzy is rooted therein.

Envy: They envy the financially successful.

Sloth: They want the wealth that work produces, but are too lazy to work for it.

Wrath: Note how the left trades in anger. Antifa and BLM are just the lastest manifestations of their wrath.

Gluttony: Have a look at the overweight folks on the dole.

I never thought I’d be the old coot saying, “I’m glad I won’t be around to see it,” but I am. I pity the rising generations. l

It is my belief that our country is truly at a cross road. There are a number of problems that must be addressed if we are to keep out Constitutional Republic. The first and most important is to teach all Americans exactly what this is and how it works. If We the People truly want to continue to live freely without fear of retribution as we live and move within our laws we must know and understand what it is we stand for. I doubt most of the younger citizens have a clue what it is that has made us what we are or what we would need to do to continue in this path. What I know is that people all over the world desire to live in a country where they they work, raise a family peacefully. We have a way to protect ourselves from a corrupt government…however, we have to agree as a country that we want and work together to keep it. Otherwise the haves will continue to gain more and the rest of us will continue to contribute to their coffers. I believe in an Almighty God who has blessed this nation but we have largely forgotten that our forefathers gave this God credit for our good fortune and we have often patted ourselves on the back and crowed “look what we have done”. It is time to become neighbors and friends to one another. Put your phone down and smile at those you meet on the street and say good morning. Until we can once again see other people, even the ones we believe are going in the wrong direction as people first and perhaps grant them grace all the other changes won’t make much difference..
