Dear Patriot,
[⚠️ Suspicious Content] After an amazingly eventful week, the political drama continued over the weekend as the One Big Beautiful Bill was tossed around the Senate floor like a flood zone sandbag.
It was even read out loud, which took 15 hours due to its heft. Sen. Schumer forced the rare reading as a delay tactic.
This bill is very far from perfect. It has all manner of typical swampy, smelly slime in it. There is a lot of noise around it; political posturing, Democrat hysteria, Fake News lying, and RINO whining.
BUT, there are good things buried in the bill that President Trump needs to move his agenda.
This bill gives him the runway he needs for the overall plan. Other matters can be tweaked as Trump moves on.
Congresspeople get so in the weeds of their bills. But Trump never does. While they are all stewing, moaning and kvetching on some aspect they think is the end the world…
Trump is long gone, planning the next move.
Part of that move is to remake the old Republican Party into the new Make America Great Again Party. Pushing out the last remaining vestiges of spineless, get-along Republicans in the midterms is a top priority.
President Trump scored big on that Sunday afternoon with the odious Thom Tillis (RINO-NC) announced he is not running for a third term.
We are close enough to North Carolina to have heard the cheering!
It was the cherry on top of the magnificent sundae Trump has been building for weeks.
Ignore the noise. Trust in God and President Trump.
We jump headlong into our Independence Week with stories on….
a consequential president.

There is no one better to recap this than President Trump’s favorite reporter, Salena Zito. She is our favorite too.

A very consequential two weeks for Donald Trump’s presidency
QUOTE: The jets rejoined into a formation of four, pitching out to land right over the base — a landing Caine said was greeted by incredible cheers and tears from the families who sacrifice and serve right alongside the pilots.
“One commander told me this is a moment in the lives of our families that they will never forget,” Caine said at a press conference Thursday at the Pentagon. “That, my friends, is what America’s joint force does. We think, we develop, we train, we rehearse, we test, we evaluate every single day. And when the call comes to deliver, we do so.”
It was a moment of consequence, excellence, leadership, and guts.
In the past 12 days, some of the most consequential decisions in American history, those that will affect generations and leave a substantial impact on our culture, economy, and political alignment, have been made either by President Donald Trump or because of him. But they have been largely either downplayed or not fully analyzed in terms of how they all connect.
The U.S. Steel deal between the iconic American company and Nippon Steel happened because of Trump’s ability to apply pressure through negotiations that sometimes bewildered everyone involved. But they led to the literal reversal of fortune of an industry, from the additional supply industries that include mechanics, construction workers, transportation systems such as railways, and energy.
The 50% tariffs Trump announced the day he visited the U.S. Steel plant in West Mifflin were also seen by American manufacturers as a signal that Trump was committed to revitalizing American steel mills. It also signaled an overall mandate to reshore manufacturing in the country.
While much of Wall Street warned that the tariffs would cause a widespread recession, a former critic of the tariffs, Torsten Sløk, chief economist at Apollo Global Management, did an about-face and wondered if Trump outsmarted everyone, laying out a scenario that keeps tariffs well below Trump’s most aggressive rates long enough to ease uncertainty.
And this all happened in under two weeks, beginning with Trump signing the U.S. Steel deal on June 13 and continuing Friday morning with the Supreme Court ruling that individual judges lack the authority to grant nationwide injunctions. The latter was a breathtaking victory for Trump, who has been hampered by activist judges throwing up everything but the kitchen sink to try to curtail his agenda.
There is an old wisdom in political science that real presidential power, whether domestic or international, is the power of persuasion. In less than two weeks, Trump has shown that his impact on American history has centered on his persuasive powers and using them to execute leadership.
While elites struggle to understand the appeal of Trump and conservative populism, what they miss, what they have always missed, is the nuance of what “Make America Great Again” meant to voters. The media saw it as a vulgar attempt at nationalism, often brazenly calling it so. But it never was. For most Trump supporters, it meant the connective tissue not with him, but with each other, that they were all part of something bigger than self.
To date, President Franklin Roosevelt has had the longest impact on American politics in our short history. Trump will exceed that, especially if he continues to have two-week stretches such as these.
PRAY for President Trump. Pray for his safety, wisdom and energy.
PRAY for all children.
PRAY for peace in the world.
SHARE the truth.
