Is President Biden Healthy: Hugh Hewitt with Oklahoma Senator James Lankford

 Can America avoid another war in the streets, this time over federal enforcement of immigration law? Both Donald Trump and Governor Tim Walz have that opportunity.

After a second shooting involving an activist during Homeland Security’s Operation Metro Surge last week, tensions escalated and violent protests increased. This time, the president emphasized his determination to enforce federal law but put border czar Tom Homan in direct charge on Monday. 

Walz appears to have recognized this as an opening to dial down the tensions and the rhetoric. Trump announced that Walz called him shortly after Homan’s appointment and held “a very good call” to pledge his efforts to find ways to coordinate to resolve the conflict. 

This offers a good opportunity for peace. However, none of this would have happened had it not been for Minnesota’s “sanctuary” status. Had Walz followed most of the rest of the country and cooperated with federal law enforcement, these operations would not be necessary, and the peace would never have been threatened.

I’m Ed Morrissey.

There’s an old adage about speculation and opinionizing over what a political leader may or may not do: it goes “Those who know don’t say, and those who say don’t know.”  This would be a good rule for those who catastrophize the consequences of President Donald Trump’s proposed actions … before they take place.

In recent days, fearmongering and panic were everywhere over the President’s plans for Greenland, some went so far as to say it would be the destruction of NATO, others called for the 25th Amendment. But, within about six hours of being in Davos, we received news that the framework for non-military deal was put together.

All of a sudden, it all seemed very reasonable.

As children, we read of the story of Chicken Little to learn not to exaggerate our paranoias; doing so leading to disastrous results. President Trump has embarrassed his critics with success—time and time again.

Perhaps it’s time to give him a little wider berth on the international stage. 

So far, he’s done quite well.

The first year of the second term of President Trump concluded on Tuesday this week—and only the most extreme of partisans will deny that 45-47 hung a lot of wins on the wall:
A closed border,
"eight-and-a-quarter" peace negotiations,
the "one big beautiful bill,"
Operation Midnight Hammer in Iran,
Operation Absolute Resolve in Venezuela,
Rising domestic oil and gas production, and:
The wonderful combination of falling inflation and rising wages.

Most important to the world of his achievements in his first year back: President Trump is not only the commander in chief of the mightiest military in history, he’s demonstrated that knows how to use it.

Trump has restored America’s deterrence—a power that that had been forfeited by Biden and our collapse in Afghanistan.

Iran, Islamist terrorists across Africa, from Somalia to Nigeria and Nicholas Maduro have all suffered devastating blows that punished them for behavior outside the guardrails that President Trump set.

American  leadership is back.
