It’s hard to believe we’re a year into the second Trump administration, but here we are. A year of virtually no illegal immigration, a year of fewer deaths from fentanyl, a year of declining violent crime in major cities like Memphis and Washington D.C., a year of Biden-era inflation finally beginning to come down, a year of putting America first in our dealings with foreign nations, a year of conservative policies making countless American lives better. It hasn’t been perfect, but hell, it’s been pretty damned good and infinitely better than the alternative.

But there’s another, more ominous countdown that lies at the back of all our minds. Less than one year from now, another Congress will be seated, one that could be run, at least in the House, by Democrats. And almost exactly three years from now, a new president will take office. In other words, the honeymoon is long over and it’s past time to start thinking about what things are going to look like in the all too quickly approaching future.

It’s easy to say - and I’ve heard plenty of people say it, including me on occasion - that the answer to a free and prosperous future for our country is to never allow Democrats to obtain power again. However, given the ebb and flow of politics, sentiments like that are unrealistic. The sad and scary truth of the matter is, no matter how good........
