The Trump Counterrevolution and the Moral Ledger: No Country Can Long Endure Without Sovereignty and Security; Victor Davis Hanson: First 100 Days of Trump’s Counter Revolution

The Trump Counterrevolution and the Moral Ledger:
No country can long endure without sovereignty and security.
Despite the media hysteria, President Donald Trump’s counterrevolution remains on course.
Its ultimate fate will probably rest with the state of the economy by the November 2026 midterm elections. But its success also hinges on accomplishing what is right and long overdue — and then making such reforms quietly, compassionately, and methodically.
No country can long endure without sovereignty and security — or with 10 to 12 million illegal immigrants crossing the border and half a million criminal foreign nationals roaming freely.
The prior administration found that it was easy to destroy the border and welcome the influx. But it is far harder for its successor to restore security, find those who broke the law, and insist on legal-only immigration. Trump is on the right side of all these issues and making substantial progress.
Everyone knew that a $2 trillion budget deficit, a $37 trillion national debt, and a $1.2 trillion trade deficit in goods were ultimately unsustainable.
Yet all prior politicians of the 21st century winced at the mere thought of reducing debts and deficits, given that it proved much easier just to print and spread around federal money. As long as the Trump administration dutifully cuts the budget, sends its regrets to displaced federal employees, seeks to expand private sector reemployment, and quietly presses ahead, it retains the moral high ground.
The elite universities have long hidden things from the American people that otherwise would have lost them all public support.
They deliberately sought to neuter Supreme Court rulings banning race-based preferences by stealthily continuing their often-segregated policies on campuses, from admissions and hiring to dorms and graduations.
They have taken billions of dollars from autocracies, such as communist China and Qatar. And they have partnered abroad with their foreign illiberal institutions and then disguised their quid pro quo subservience.
These supposedly prestigious universities have previously made no real effort either to stop or even hide their own campus epidemics of antisemitism. --->READ MORE HERE
Victor Davis Hanson: First 100 Days of Trump’s Counter Revolution:
This week, President Donald Trump will celebrate his first 100 days back in office. How is he doing? And what can these first 100 days signal about how the rest of his administration will unfold? Victor Davis Hanson breaks it all down on today’s episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.”
“ A recent poll by CNN showed that Donald Trump had wide approval. Another poll has just come out where he was up to 54%. Given the media hostility, you would think that he would be completely negative, but he's not. He has the confidence of the majority of the American people.
“  Forget what the media says. Forget what his opponent said. Forget Mr. [Kilmar Abrego] Garcia, forget Mr. Luigi Mangione, all of these distractions. The first 100 days have been revolutionary. We've never seen anything like it, not during the Reagan administration, not during FDR, in terms of the magnitude of the changes. And that is why people are furious.” --->READ MORE HERE AND WATCH BELOW:
