President Trump is once again standing firm, calling on Democrats to stop playing political games and reopen the government. As a veteran, I’ve seen what happens when leadership breaks down. Troops don’t get paid, families suffer, and national security takes a hit. When the Commander-in-Chief says it’s time to open the government, it’s because he’s thinking of the country, not his next headline.
But the Democrats are dragging their feet. Why? Because they want to push their own agenda, even if it means hurting regular Americans. It’s not just about politics anymore—it’s about putting America last. That’s not leadership. That’s selfishness.
And while we’re on the subject of betrayal, let’s talk about what Biden’s FBI did. Reports are coming out that they spied on Republican senators during the January 6 investigation. Let me be clear: spying on elected officials for political reasons is not just wrong—it’s a direct attack on our republic. This is worse than Watergate. We fought wars to protect freedom and privacy, and now we find out Biden’s people were watching our own senators like they were criminals. That’s not justice. That’s tyranny.
Meanwhile, the world hasn’t forgotten October 7. Two years ago, Hamas terrorists murdered 1,200 innocent people in Israel. They didn’t target soldiers—they targeted babies, women, civilians. And now some people in this country are openly supporting Hamas. That’s not just un-American. It’s evil. Any country that forgets who its enemies are is doomed to repeat the past. We’ve got folks on college campuses chanting for terrorists, and university leaders turning a blind eye. I’ve seen war up close, and I can tell you this—these students have no idea what they’re cheering for.
Chicago is another battlefield, but this time it’s law enforcement under fire. ICE agents were swarmed by mobs, and the city told police to stand down. A former officer called it the “most disgusting act” he’d ever seen. I agree. If you’re not going to back your own officers, you’ve already lost the city. And to make matters worse, a gang leader offered $10,000 to kill a Border Patrol commander. This is organized crime openly attacking federal officers, and where is the outrage? Where is the support for law and order?
And what are Democrats doing? Asking for $20 million for foreign projects—LGBT initiatives and electric buses overseas—while Americans are struggling. That’s not just tone-deaf. It’s a slap in the face. They’d rather fund pet projects in foreign countries than protect our borders or pay our troops.
We’ve also got reports that a Democrat candidate said more police should die so fewer civilians would be shot. That kind of thinking is dangerous. It’s not just anti-police—it’s anti-American. Our law enforcement officers put their lives on the line every day. To wish death on them for political gain is beyond disgusting.
Let’s not forget that Jack Smith, the same guy pushing the January 6 probe, tracked the private calls of nearly a dozen Republican senators. Think about that. The government spying on elected officials because they disagreed with the narrative. That’s not how a free country works. That’s how dictatorships run.
But there is hope. President Trump is still fighting. He’s backing strong candidates in key elections and calling out the swamp for what it is. This shutdown, as painful as it is, might be the chance we need to clean house and set things right. It’s time to back our Commander-in-Chief and demand accountability.
The threats we face—both from within and from abroad—are real. But so is our resolve. We’ve faced worse and come out stronger. We know what it means to fight for freedom, and we won’t back down now.
Stay alert. Stay informed. And never forget what we’re fighting for.
