President Donald Trump’s approval ratings have reached historic highs at the onset of his second term, a phenomenon that has left some far-left personalities, including CNN’s Kate Bolduan, visibly struggling to come to terms with the reality of Trump’s enduring popularity. As Trump defies expectations and historical trends, Bolduan’s skepticism seems to embody what many conservatives see as a severe case of Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS). During a recent segment on CNN, data analyst Harry Enten presented a surprising statistical revelation that President Trump is the first president to have a higher net approval rating in the first month of his second term than at any point during his entire first term.

I don’t think she ever saw greatness manifested in the political arena throughout her entire life. Like many others of her generation, there’s been nothing but boring mediocrities in politics. Trump is not a politician anywhere near as much as he is a leader and a true world shaker!

CNN continues to amuse. The anchors argue with their guests presenting FACTS because the anchor just cannot face REALITY. It's like your car stalling out and you notice your gas gage is reading zero and you saying, "I just can't believe it! I CAN'T be out of gas!". And, isn't it interesting that the same people that have this happen once, tend to suffer additional occurrences of the same problem because they are reality challenged.

Wadi Gaza, Gaza Strip — President Donald Trump has invited Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to the White House next week as the first foreign leader to visit in Trump’s second term, Netanhayu and the White House said Tuesday.

In "Mere Christianity," C.S. Lewis spoke of progress, noting, “If you are on the wrong road, progress means doing an about-turn and walking back to the right road; and in that case, the man who turns back soonest is the most progressive man.” I doubt President Donald Trump would ever describe himself as a “progressive,” but by Lewis’s definition, he is leading the nation in the progressive direction back to the right road on the critical issue of gender identity. Trump’s executive order on gender identity is an about-turn for the federal government. The order reaffirms the simple truth that there are two sexes—male and female—and that there are good and

Accordingly, the federal government will "rigorously enforce all laws that prohibit or limit these destructive and life-altering procedures." Trump signed an executive order Tuesday ending federal funding for the medical "transitioning" of gender dysphoric children, including performing irreversible surgeries and the prescription of chemically castrating drugs like puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones.
