Trump’s greatest achievement within six months was simply ending illegal immigration as we had once known it—without “comprehensive immigration reform” or any other rhetorical trickery.
It remains difficult to find, much less deport, the 10 to 12 million illegal aliens who entered in the last four years.
Those who helped break the law, by design or indifference, now believe it was moral to destroy federal immigration law but immoral to uphold it. And it is still unclear whether Joe Biden’s handlers deliberately sabotaged their own border for political and demographic purposes out of sheer orneriness or utter incompetence.
Many of the left’s cherished totems—massive Green New Deal subsidies,

FTA - "The greatest Democrat fear?"
Great piece by VDH. But IMHO, he overlooked the dims' great fear - that the American people and much of the world continue to realize that Divine Intervention on July 13, 2024, in Butler PA is why President Trump sits at the Resolute Desk while embraced within God's Heavenly Arms.
As a band of non-believers, the dims only have hate, violence, and lawfare on their side and they know it. It's pretty hard to earn public support once a political party becomes morally and spiritually bankrupt.

Very well said.
We must memorize this as talking points.

Trump and, by extension, America’s success is the result of simply leveling the playing field, depriving Democrats of the unfair advantages they finagled over the years and returning power to the people.
Imagine that.

Trump's greatest weapons have been putting excellent people who whole heartedly support is agenda in positions of power and letting them do stuff; making the dems defend the indefensible ("You like wide open borders and violent criminals getting a 'get out of jail free' card, right? Right?!?"); and Fight! Fight! Fight!

FTA: ' Gas prices are at historic lows.' HA! When I first started driving I found regular at 17 cents a gallon. Admittedly, there was something of a price war with the station across the highway. Those highway robbers were charging 21 cents!

WE MAGA supporters have rallied many times for President Trump...and will continue to do so...when called upon....and Victor is absolutely right when he says President Trump is serving in the Oval Office today because God stepped in to help him....I read a book by a clairvoyant in 2015 ...that President Trump would run in 20216 and win.....and he would appoint 5 justices to the Supreme Court.....so I guess he's not finished ...yet.....

It is tiring for American voters to watch government stagnate. Of course, salaries don't stagnate for people working for the government. It is the effort that stagnates. It is wonderful to see a man grab the reins to get people working in government off their rear-ends and get moving. . .

So far so good. President Trump cannot slow down because in the midterms the opposition always wins seats. The parasites that do not pay taxes are not better off and will turn out for handouts. In two years President Donald Trump will have transformed the world.

Another great article by VDH.
I would think the Democrats not only just opened the border but there must be some financial component since it's the only reason Democrats do much of anything.
They love to have a crisis, then scream they need more government workers so fork over more of your tax dollars.
But the crisis never ends, they will always find a new way to ensure there is never any accomplishment or the crisis is resolved - otherwise the program and jobs would no longer be needed.
Of course no one ever thinks about shifting those people to other programs that need help.
Don't think government isn't a business? Just look at how the same people are in the same industry for decades. Usually never actually accomplishing anything.

“the left’s strategy is that of the kamikaze: to destroy Trump at the cost of destroying the Democrat Party.”(VDH)
It used to be that one of the worst things that could be said of a person was that they would sell (exploit or betray) their own mother to achieve some nefarious purpose. The Democrats have gained the horrendous reputation that there is absolutely nothing they will not do to try to destroy Donald Trump. It is surreal to watch them descend to a depth of hatred so insane that they would actually destroy themselves in order to try to destroy Trump. The stark reality, by contrast, is that the harder they try to tear Trump down the more it backfires on them, and the higher they build him up. They always have been everything, and worse, that they have ever accused him of being — and, furthermore, he never was.
As #1 indicated, believers everywhere recognize and give glory to God for His providence in the life of DJT on 7/13/24, in Butler, PA. Our payers continue for Trump and his administration to advance policies that will restore our Republic to its Founding Principles, and for God’s providence to continue to be with him to make America great again.
Democrats, in the meantime, have doubled and tripled down on fighting against those godly principles, and insisting on a direction that takes our country further away from God. Thankfully, our people are standing with Trump, so far. May we all continue to stand for God!
