This Fourth of July hits different. It feels like we’re finally getting America back.
For the last several years, we’ve watched the Radical Left try to shred this country apart—through riots, open borders, censorship, and lawfare. They weren’t just coming after Donald Trump. They were coming after all of us. Our values, our rights, our sanity. Yet,Ìýhere we are.
Trump didn’t just survive the political persecution—he beat it. And he became president because of it. Last week’s Supreme Court decision smacked down the activist judges who thought they could run the country with coast-to-coast injunctions every time they didn’t like the President’s policy. Guess what? Elections have consequences again. The days of one liberal judge in Seattle stopping national border enforcement are over.
And speaking of borders, ICE is finally doing what it was created to do. They’re shutting down illegal crossings, rounding up criminal aliens, and reminding the country that laws still matter.
It turns out that when you enforce immigration law, Americans feel safer, and actual immigrants who come here legally get the respect they deserve.
The threat against our freedoms is still here this Independence Day
But don’t think the Radical Left has given up. They’re just getting sneakier.
In New York City, wants to turn your neighborhood into a taxpayer-funded Marxist playground. He’s not hiding it—he’s cheerleading for communism. He’s the new face of the Left. Spoiled. Radical. Dangerous.
So on this Independence Day, we’re not just celebrating fireworks and hot dogs. We’re celebrating resilience. The resilience of a country that refuses to bow to the mob, refuses to be silenced, and refuses to forget what made us great in the first place. And we refuse to give up, politically fighting back at the Radical Left voices still trying to tear us down.
Happy Fourth of July. And God bless the United States of America.
