Last week, in what is being called the largest-ever ICE enforcement operation, nearly 1,500 illegal foreign nationals were arrested—most of them hiding in so-called “sanctuary” jurisdictions. That’s not just a number. That’s a blunt warning: there are thousands more just like them—living, working, and perhaps plotting among us, thanks to open-border ideologues and their enablers in blue-state leadership.

There's danger in Making America Great Again with Executive Orders, but is there any other way to do it? I love most of what President Trump is doing – in fact, it’s kind of what I’ve always dreamed of; Make a list of what’s been screwed up by Democrats and The Left, check them off as they get solved, and suddenly America would be great again. But if Republicans want to "Keep America Great," they’d better start passing his Exec. Orders into law.

There was hope for responsible governance by the Palestinian Authority (PA), but that hope has been repeatedly dashed and finally extinguished on October 7, 2023. The coordinated horrific attack by Hamas militants left hundreds dead and many held hostage. Israel’s response has been strong and unrelenting, but the release of hostages and the total defeat of Hamas remain elusive.

A few Democrat officeholders, activists, and pundits are finally coming to their senses that their brand is toxic to a majority of the American people. The Biden administration killed what was left of it in a number of ways. First, it serially lied to Americans about the cognitive decline and cancerous condition of President Joe Biden – both while in and after office. Only when caught did the complicit media fess up. 

SERIOUSLY: Is there a place in the country better off because Democrats have control over the Local or State Government? I mean, if getting pregnant so you can have an abortion is your hobby, Chicago or Boston are OK – but not if you don't want to be robbed or shot. And if you want to get your kid an education, forget about it. There's nothing Democrats can’t ruin – and there's nothing even potentially good they don't ruin.

President Trump’s move to put the screws to Harvard’s federal funding isn’t just solid policy, it’s moral clarity. And, it’s Long-Overdue Accountability. This past week Trump ratcheted up the pressure, citing five damning reasons drawn directly from Harvard’s own Internal Investigation – anti-Semitic harassment was not only tolerated, but systemically swept under the rug. As bad as that was, it’s just the start.

As the left-wing corporate media engages in Trump Derangement Syndrome over poll numbers, which are all over the place, they never mention the fact that no matter how bad any numbers they find or manufacture about Donald Trump, they will never be as bad as the numbers for Democrats. Any Democrat. They are about as popular with the American people as an infected toe. Which would you rather have, an infected toe or a flaming case of Pelosi? 

One reason the public turned on The Looney Left's DEI (Diversity, Equity & Inclusion) indoctrination efforts was its insistence that some 70% of the country was stereotyped as "victimizers" – by virtue of their skin color. Absurd. The other "diverse" 30%, by contrast, were considered the "victimized." But human nature is universal – and transcends race.

Student loan debt soared to more than $1.5 trillion during the Biden presidency, and the response by Washington was to "forgive" hundreds of billions of these unpaid loans by deadbeat borrowers and let the taxpayers pick up the tab. It was never clear why the universities that charge exorbitant tuitions that have reached more than $75,000 a year at many elite schools shouldn't bear the cost of the program -- but that's another story.

Texas already has what it takes: a Skilled Energy Workforce, Robust Manufacturing Capabilities, an unparalleled Network of Industry & Refining, World-Class Ports, and World-Renowned Universities that already lead in science and technology education. By moving first, Texas could become the nation’s – and the world’s commercial nuclear energy capital. Here's the case for expanding Texas' effort.

You’ve got to admire Democrat’s plan to center its hate for America by targeting our nation's largest ethnic group – white people. Somewhere between 60-70% of Americans identify as “white” – and of course many leftists are white people. But they’re a different kind of white people. They’re not the ones who go to church, fight our wars, and know which bathroom to use. They’re the "good kind" of white people – so let’s see how this works out for them.

​​​​​​​Hard working Americans will be enabled to create better futures for themselves, their families – and all of us. We will achieve things that would have been considered science fiction a decade ago. Buildings will – including many new factories – be built more quickly. Entrepreneurs with new ideas will gain access to more resources – and face fewer obstacles. I've lived through moments like this three times.

Before Joe Biden and Democrats in Congress passed the "Inflation Reduction Act," the nation's oil & gas producers were able to deduct the same operational costs as most capital-intensive industries in the U.S. – labor, wages, site preparation, repairs, and supplies that account for about 80% of the cost of drilling a well. Biden's policies meant fewer jobs, fewer rigs drilling, and more reliance on imported energy.

Their Fighting Spirit is rising, but their Common Sense is in the Toilet. So lets talk about “that hill Democrats are choosing to die on.” What is it exactly that's on that hill? HERE's a partial list – and yes, American's perception of "the hill" differs from theirs. But that difference explains Democrats’ record-low Approval Ratings, so what follows is what today's most visible Democrats are doubling-down on. It's their most cherished positions.

“Dirty Jobs” host Mike Rowe often mentions a statistic that I've previously documented. It's the disturbing number of able-bodied men – 6.8 million of them, in fact – who are not working, and not looking for work. This number is unprecedented. Rowe believes that if President Trump can reinvigorate the manufacturing sector, potentially adding another 2 or 3 million new jobs will pose a problem – a two-fold problem: a skills gap, and a will gap.

Leftist commentators are panicked. Last week, Donald Trump unveiled a landmark trade agreement with the United Kingdom that was rightfully billed as a “Special Partnership.” But the deal is more than just ceremonial — it’s opening what promises to be a full-scale realignment of U.S. trade relationships around the globe. America’s enemies will play fair, our allies will be prioritized & invited into more profitable, mutually respectful partnerships, and it's not Rocket Science.

Texas is constantly looking for ways to make the Lone Star State an even stronger destination for Small Business & Entrepreneurial Growth – and to keep Texas on path to surpass France as the world's 7th Largest Economy. It's sometimes hard to believe. Already a premiere destination for businesses of all sizes, Gov. Greg Abbott officially declared this week "Small Business Week" to shine a well-deserved spotlight on the true engine driving our economy.

It’s times like these that remind me that the Latin root of the words “Senate” and “senile” are the same. Of course all bad Senators aren’t senile – some are just stupid. But sadly, even the stupid ones are necessary because we must keep the Senate in 2026 to make Trump’s second administration a success. We’re going to have a great economy by November 2026. This is our chance to be smart and run up the score. The only way we can lose is if Republicans are dumb. That’s why we should be worried.

Despite the media's and Democrat's hysteria, President Trump's counter-revolution remains on course. ​​​​​Its ultimate fate will probably rest with the state of the economy in the 2026 Midterm Elections. But its success also hinges on accomplishing what is right and long overdue – making reforms compassionately and methodically. No country can long endure without security – or with 10 to 12 million illegal immigrants crossing the border and half a million criminal foreign nationals roaming freely.

A liberal Democrat Senator recently went to a Big Box Store late at night, and there the cashier – upon learning of the Senator’s profession – said, “Democrats are assholes!” Many a book will be written – and many trees felled – for the paper that'll be necessary to pen "The Demise of the Democrat Party." The American people want Peace & Prosperity – which Donald Trump and Republicans are offering. Democrats of today stand for nothing – and antagonize everybody.
