During any massive operation, like a military campaign or a struggle to save our country, you must occasionally pause to take stock and evaluate where you are. This self-evaluation allows you to reorient resources, change strategy, and refocus your efforts. In this epic battle to Make America Great Again, we’re making definite and measurable progress on multiple axes, re-ordering the executive branch, reining in the administrative state, and changing the terms of engagement with all our allies and enemies, both foreign and domestic. Of course, it’s not going perfectly. There are problems. There are setbacks. There are challenges. But you know what? There were always going to be problems, setbacks, and challenges. That’s the nature of the beast.

The bottom line is that we’re winning.

Unequivocally in the win column are victories such as getting all of Trump‘s appointments through the Senate, getting the reconciliation bill on track, unleashing DOGE on the fat, stupid, and corrupt administrative state, reorienting the military towards victory, reorienting our health policies towards health, and shutting down the border. Our progress has been measurable, and these wins will set us up for future victories.

In other fields, we have not yet won. We’ve had mixed success fighting back against the Democrat judge insurgency. We have yet to lock up any Democrat or Dem-adjacent criminals for their crimes over the last several years, though the noxious Leticia James may be the first to don the striped suit. The economy is mixed, and the tariff issue is unsettled. We don’t have peace in Ukraine yet. We haven’t smoked the mullahs, and there are still Hamas members alive and holding an American. But none of these fights are over. It’s just that these fights haven’t been won yet.

As for outright losses, there aren’t any. There are no distinct failures yet, which is pretty impressive. Some might argue the tariffs are, but the tariff initiative has not yet ended. Others may complain about........
