Donald Trump's State of the Union address checked all of the usual boxes. As theater however, Trump reminded Democrats of his mastery.
Trump knew Democrats wanted to make the event into a circus and became the ringmaster. He anticipated their heckling and out shouted it from the dais.
He offered America a parade of heroes while Democrats sulked in their seats. Not once but twice, Trump asked Democrats to stand with Americans and then ridiculed them for failing to rise to the occasion.
First, Trump declared that the first duty of government was to American citizens rather than illegal aliens and challenge the room to stand in agreement. Almost every Democrat remains seated and Trump scolded. You should be ashamed.
More shockingly, Democrats refuse to stand when Trump called for justice for Iryna Zarutska, the young Ukrainian woman murdered in Charlotte by a lifetime violent offender. Trump appeared shocked and rebuked them. How do you not stand?
Trump exposed the Democrats for what they are.
Radicals who care less about Americans than they do for power.

Americans just got a revealing glimpse of what Democrats have in mind if they reclaim power. On a recent podcast, Obama National Security Advisor Susan Rice warned Big Tech, law firms, media outlets, companies, and universities that Democrats won’t “forgive and forget” those who cooperate with President Donald Trump. The left “won’t play by the old rules,” she announced.
How ironic. The same crowd that constantly calls Trump an authoritarian is now openly threatening political retribution.
Rice’s threats aren’t hypothetical. During the Biden administration, federal officials strongarmed tech companies to suppress disfavored speech. JP Morgan has just admitted to debanking Trump and some supporters — hardly a coincidence in today’s regulatory climate.
Meanwhile, Rice’s former boss Barack Obama speaks loftily about unity and “coming together.” Nice words — but Americans have seen too much to believe them.

A major battle with Iran appears imminent.
Ought it to be called a war, a battle or a strike?
That depends on what the United States and Israel decide to do and what President Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu call it.
It also depends on whether Ayatollah Khamenei orders the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and Iran’s proxy forces in Hamas, Hezbollah and the Houthis, as well as terror cells around the world, to mount counterattacks that kill Americans, Israelis or people in our Gulf allies.
The ayatollah can trigger massive escalation with any counterattack that results in American and/or Israeli casualties.
And so there’s genuine risk to our troops and to our allies in Israel and the Gulf States. That is why when President Trump orders the American military to attack, it should be with overwhelming and sustained force.
Fanatics don’t reason, and the United States cannot afford to allow the world to see it deterred by the words and shaking fists of a second- or third-rate military equipped with bluster and ballistic missiles.
And led by fanatics.

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the federal workforce is smaller than it’s been in half a century.
That’s good news.
Taxpayers will shoulder fewer obligations for the generous salaries, health benefits and pensions federal workers receive. But there’s a deeper point.
America was never meant to be governed from Washington. The Constitution established a federal government of limited, enumerated powers — leaving most authority to the states and the people.
As Washington has inserted itself into nearly every corner of American life, the federal payroll has grown.
Government works best when it’s close to the people — in states, cities, and communities — not in bloated bureaucracies in a distant capital.
The federal government should perform its proper functions well. And freedom-loving Americans should insist that power remain closest to them, where it can be watched, checked, and held accountable.

Next week, President Donald Trump will deliver his State of the Union address. The rest of the legislative agenda will be set for the year, and, of course, we’ll be off to the mid-term elections in November. A great many Democrats plan to boycott the State of the Union. One, Democratic Senator Chris Murphy, told New York Times, “These aren’t normal times, and we have to stop doing normal things.”
In that sentence, Senator Murphy spoke volumes. What’s abnormal to the Democrats is the rule of law being enforced, conservative economic policy, the liberation of leadership from Marxist-Narco-terrorist leaders and, potentially with Iran, removing Islamist radicals and revolutionaries.
As we head into the mid-term elections, let’s remember what the Democrats think is normal: the opposite of all that—living with and ignoring an illegal invasion of America, coddling Marxist drug dealing thuggery, and appeasing the leading state sponsor of terrorism in the world, all the while jacking our taxes up even higher.
These are the stakes this year. Don’t take them passively.

Now that Minnesota prisons have begun to notify ICE when illegal immigrants with federal warrants are being released, the ICE surge there is winding down.
During the operation, agents found more than three thousand missing unaccompanied alien children. Over half a million children were smuggled into the United States during Joe Biden’s term. Federal authorities lost track of roughly 300,000 of them.
Some were forced into labor to repay smugglers, with children as young as 13 found in dangerous meat-packing plants. Others were found exploited by traffickers. The Biden administration failed to investigate thousands of human trafficking reports.
The ICE enforcement surges aren’t just about deportations. They’re about rescuing vulnerable children and restoring the rule of law after years of reckless border policies. Accountability matters for America’s sake, and for these exploited children.

As we watch President Trump and all that’s happening with Iran and Khomeini, I think the situation can be summed up succinctly:
One door is marked "Truman/Reagan" and the other door is marked "Carter/Obama/Biden."
On three different occasions, Trump has walked through the first door:
- He ordered the assassination of General Qasem Soleimani, the head of the Iran’s Quds Force in January of 2020 in Iraq.
- Trump followed that up with his second-term order to conduct Operation Midnight Resolve against Iran’s nuclear weapons facilities in June last year.
- And then we saw Operation Absolute Resolve to snatch Venezuelan dictator Nicholas Maduro in January.
Now President Trump has to decide which door to walk through yet again.
President Trump’s choice will define his place in history.
America’s national security and the hope of the Iranian people and the future of the Middle East depends upon this decision.
Pray he chooses wisely.
