Hugh Hewitt and Pete Peterson on Why Orange County Flipped Blue

Next week, President Donald Trump will deliver his State of the Union address.  The rest of the legislative agenda will be set for the year, and, of course, we’ll be off to the mid-term elections in November.  A great many Democrats plan to boycott the State of the Union.  One, Democratic Senator Chris Murphy, told New York Times, “These aren’t normal times, and we have to stop doing normal things.”

In that sentence, Senator Murphy spoke volumes.  What’s abnormal to the Democrats is the rule of law being enforced, conservative economic policy, the liberation of leadership from Marxist-Narco-terrorist leaders and, potentially with Iran, removing Islamist radicals and revolutionaries. 

As we head into the mid-term elections, let’s remember what the Democrats think is normal: the opposite of all that—living with and ignoring an illegal invasion of America, coddling Marxist drug dealing thuggery, and appeasing the leading state sponsor of terrorism in the world, all the while jacking our taxes up even higher.

These are the stakes this year.  Don’t take them passively.

Now that Minnesota prisons have begun to notify ICE when illegal immigrants with federal warrants are being released, the ICE surge there is winding down.

During the operation, agents found more than three thousand missing unaccompanied alien children. Over half a million children were smuggled into the United States during Joe Biden’s term. Federal authorities lost track of roughly 300,000 of them.

Some were forced into labor to repay smugglers, with children as young as 13 found in dangerous meat-packing plants. Others were found exploited by traffickers. The Biden administration failed to investigate thousands of human trafficking reports.

The ICE enforcement surges aren’t just about deportations. They’re about rescuing vulnerable children and restoring the rule of law after years of reckless border policies. Accountability matters for America’s sake, and for these exploited children.

As we watch President Trump and all that’s happening with Iran and Khomeini, I think the situation can be summed up succinctly:

One door is marked "Truman/Reagan" and the other door is marked "Carter/Obama/Biden."

On three different occasions, Trump has walked through the first door:
He ordered the assassination of General Qasem Soleimani, the head of the Iran’s Quds Force in January of 2020 in Iraq.
Trump followed that up with his second-term order to conduct Operation Midnight Resolve against Iran’s nuclear weapons facilities in June last year.
And then we saw Operation Absolute Resolve to snatch Venezuelan dictator Nicholas Maduro in January.

Now President Trump has to decide which door to walk through yet again.

President Trump’s choice will define his place in history.

America’s national security and the hope of the Iranian people and the future of the Middle East depends upon this decision.

Pray he chooses wisely.
