In the shadowy corridors of power, where Democrats have long peddled their illusions of a kinder, gentler America, the truth has finally broken through like a sledgehammer. For two decades under leftist presidents—think Obama’s apologies and Biden’s bungles—the United States surrendered its edge, trading raw strength for rainbow flags and eco-sermons. Wokeism and DEI weren’t just words; they were weapons of self-destruction, softening our borders, weakening our military, and inviting chaos from abroad.

Adversaries laughed as they grew bolder, turning empty threats into real assaults on our allies, flooding our streets with poison that hooked millions. Illegal aliens poured in, draining resources and spiking crime, all while Americans were lectured on “compassion and tolerance.” There is a strong feeling that it was nothing but a deliberate policy that masked national suicide.

But no more. President Donald Trump’s thunderous declaration—“America is back”—during his March 5, 2025, address to a joint session of Congress wasn’t just rhetoric; it was a battle cry. In his second term, Trump has unleashed a torrent of actions to reclaim what was lost, proving that real leadership means defending prosperity and security without apology. Ten months in, the results are undeniable: borders fortified, cartels reeling, and global foes on notice. This isn’t hawkishness; it’s justice.
