Trump their “Person of the Year” this week.It was another recognition of the historic nature of President Trump’s election, and the massive mandate he was handed by the American people.Securing the border, unleashing the economy, putting America First – those are among the key tenants that President Trump campaigned and won on. In fact, he is already delivering on those promises before he even takes office. 2024 was the most important election in American history. Make America Great Again!SECURING THE BORDER – President Trump isn’t even in office yet, and he is already securing the border. Team Trump rapid response has the latest analysis.Last month, President Trump – fresh off his decisive electoral victory – delivered an ultimatum to our northern and southern neighbors: secure your borders or face a 25% tariff on all products coming into the United States.It didn't take long for Canada to heed President Trump's warning. Facing an uproar among his own citizens, embattled Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced a billion-dollar plan for major border security improvements and increased border patrols in an effort to stem the flow of illegal immigration, human trafficking, and deadly drugs into the United States.Mexico has been put on notice, too. Mere days after President Trump made the promise, Mexican authorities announced its largest-ever fentanyl bust in a cartel-dominated region of the country – deadly drugs that likely would've ended up in American communities.As President Trump secures the border, Joe Biden is continuing to actively undermine border security by selling off border wall building materials for cents on the dollar. Not only is President Trump calling out this outrageous policy, he filed an amicus brief in support of a legal effort to immediately stop him.After four years of a Biden-induced crisis, in which criminals, terrorists, and deadly drugs have poured across the borders in record numbers, President Trump is making good on his mandate for sweeping change.Promises made, promises kept – and the border is far from the only example. In just six weeks, President Trump has made major progress in advancing international peace, propelling economic growth, dismantling divisive social programming, and bolstering American investment.For more information, click here.DEMOCRATS’ SHUTDOWN – Yesterday, nearly every single House Democrat voted against government funding and to shut down the government.  As Vice President-elect JD Vance said, Democrats “asked for a shutdown and I think that’s exactly what they’re going to get.”And while President Trump and Republicans are working to keep the government open, Joe Biden is completely MIA. Biden is supposed to be president of the United States, but par for the course, he can’t be bothered to actually solve problems.As Biden watches on, 197 Democrats voted against keeping the government open, disaster relief, and aid for farmers, prioritizing thousands of pages of pork spending instead.Republicans are still working to solve the problem, but if there is a shutdown, the blame is Joe Biden’s and the Democrats’ to bear.CONFIRM PETE HEGSETH – Veterans who served with Pete Hegseth are solidly standing behind him and applauding his service to our country.Sgt. Maj. Eric Geressy, who served with Hegseth in Iraq: “I served alongside Pete Hegseth in Iraq, where I witnessed his leadership, courage, and steadfast love for our country firsthand. In a time when the stakes were high and courage meant everything, Pete stepped up – not for personal recognition, but for love of this country and his fellow soldiers…I’ve stood beside Pete Hegseth on the battlefield, and I can say without hesitation that there is no one better suited to lead our nation’s security. America deserves a leader who understands the price of freedom and is willing to do whatever it takes to protect it. Pete Hegseth is that leader.”Army Col. Chip Rankin, who served with Hegseth in Afghanistan: “He was going through a vehicle that got blown up, and there were dead people, people that were fighting through our lives. And Pete went right into that situation, and performed admirably in a very, very challenging situation… He could have been killed, and he never hesitated.”Derek McCall, who served with Hegseth in Guantanamo Bay: “The Department of Defense needs more than just a qualified candidate to be secretary – it needs a proven leader. It requires a candidate who not only understands military strategy and operations, but also possesses true character, loyalty, and vision to inspire the men and women who dutifully serve our country. Pete Hegseth is exactly the man for the job.”Pete Hegseth is the Defense Secretary America needs and deserves to help Make America Strong Again!BORDER PATROL FOR TULSI GABBARD – As reported by the Daily Wire, the National Border Patrol Council (NBPC) endorsed Tulsi Gabbard to be the next Director of National Intelligence (DNI) this week.In explaining their endorsement, NBPC President Paul Perez wrote:“The U.S. Intelligence Community (IC), led by the DNI, plays an integral role in our border security by monitoring the potential for these threats to enter our country. From transnational criminal organizations operating in North, Central, and South America to foreign terrorist organizations and hostile state actors, these entities and individuals will always attempt to exploit our unsecure borders to further their activities that threaten the American people. In order to adequately confront these threats, the IC must have strong, courageous and competent leadership – that leader is Lt. Col. Gabbard.”For more information, click here.“SHE’S UP FOR THE CHALLENGE” – A new op-ed in Newsweek outlines the argument on why Linda McMahon is the right person to be the next Secretary of Education.From the op-ed:“The Biden-Harris administration has weaponized every single area of the federal government over the past four years…It’s going to be a full-time job just undoing the damage that the Democrats have wrought in each and every federal department and agency. When it comes to the Department of Education, however, President Trump can be confident that he’s already found the right woman for the job.”“Last month, President Trump announced that he was choosing Linda McMahon to become his next Secretary of Education. McMahon has decades of experience as a business executive and conservative fighter. She has education experience, having spent two years on Connecticut’s state Board of Education and 16 years as a member of the Board of Trustees for Sacred Heart University.”“She also has government experience – she was head of the Small Business Administration during Trump’s previous term. And she has policy chops, serving as chair of the board at the America First Policy Institute and as co-chair of the Trump-Vance transition team.”“All that experience will serve her well at the Department of Education, which has gone off the rails under the Democrats' rule and is badly in need of a complete overhaul. The Biden-Harris administration has used the Department of Education not to educate America’s children – who are steadily falling behind – but instead to push their radical cultural agenda on America’s kids and to punish anyone who dares stand in their way.”“Just undoing all the damage the Biden-Harris administration has caused will be a huge task. But doing all that while fulfilling Trump’s campaign promises to end school gender insanity and revitalize American education is an absolutely enormous undertaking. Linda McMahon’s experience shows that she’s up for the challenge.”Read the full op-ed here.“A NEW ERA OF LEADERSHIP AND REFORM” – In a recent op-ed, Rep. Byron Donalds laid out his case for Scott Turner for HUD Secretary.Some highlights:“At a time when housing affordability and economic mobility are at the forefront of national conversations, the need for effective, accountable leadership at the Department of Housing and Urban Development has never been more urgent. To address these challenges, we need a HUD secretary who not only understands the complexities of housing policy but also is committed to implementing bold reforms that prioritize American families and communities. That’s why I am proud to endorse Scott Turner for HUD secretary. His experience, vision, and conservative principles make him the ideal leader to address the critical issues facing our housing crisis today.”“One of Scott Turner’s primary goals will be ensuring that HUD is led by professionals who align with President Donald J. Trump’s priorities. For too long, HUD has struggled with bureaucratic inefficiency. Turner will take decisive action to place motivated, politically aligned leaders in key positions, transforming career roles into non-career positions where appropriate. This shift will steer the department toward meaningful change that serves the needs of the American people.”“As China’s influence in U.S. housing markets continues to grow unchecked, Turner will prioritize addressing foreign investment in U.S. real estate, particularly from hostile actors. He will actively monitor and respond to foreign acquisitions to safeguard American homeowners and our economy from exploitation. Swift action is vital to protect our national interests.”“Another critical area of reform involves reversing the harmful policies of the Biden-Harris administration, which prioritized ideological goals over effective housing solutions. Under Scott Turner, HUD will focus on fairness, transparency, and opportunity for all Americans – without pursuing political objectives. Turner will ensure that taxpayer-funded housing programs prioritize American citizens and legal residents – not illegals – ensuring assistance reaches those who truly need it.” “Scott Turner’s leadership at HUD has the potential to be truly transformative. His commitment to restoring accountability, reforming housing policies, and prioritizing the needs of American citizens is exactly what we need to bring about real change. As a member of Congress, I fully support his nomination and look forward to working with him to implement reforms that will make HUD more efficient, fair, and effective. The failed public housing and homelessness policies of the past will end with Scott Turner at the helm.”Read the full op-ed here.“FROM PUBLIC DEFENDER TO PUBLIC SERVANT” – If Democrats were honest, they would be supporting Kash Patel for FBI Director.A new op-ed explains:“Kash Patel’s nomination to serve as the next FBI director is historic for many reasons. He’ll be the first Indian-American and the first public defender to serve as FBI director, respectively. It’s that last feat that is most important to me considering I worked with Kash at the Federal Public Defender’s office in Miami from 2009 to 2014.”“Kash’s work experience has given him a unique approach to lead the FBI. He’s worked years and years for people who can’t afford their own attorney – the only explanation for someone to take that career path is because they believe in the justice system in the way Kash does. He understands that aside from serving in the military the best way to keep people free is to keep the justice system impartial and keep government abuse in check.”“I’m nearing the forty-year mark as an attorney, and I can’t find a name I’d recommend above Kash for the job.”“President Donald Trump barnstormed the country and promised again and again he’d restore the trust of the American people by taking politics out of the FBI and ending the weaponization of the federal government. Kash will be the first public defender to claim the head desk at the FBI, root out the weeds that have taken over one of the most historic and necessary institutions of our federal government, and restore the FBI’s focus on deterring criminals from committing crimes and getting to the bottom of it when they do.”Read the full op-ed here.MAKE AMERICA WEALTHY AGAIN – Kelly Loeffler, President Trump’s pick to lead the Small Business Administration, has been on the Hill this week meeting with senators.Fox News had the details – including on her strong resume to help Make America Wealthy Again:“Loeffler, who hails from a family of small business owners and entrepreneurs, was raised working on the family farm in Illinois. After becoming the first in her family to graduate college, she spent nearly three decades working her way up in the private sector.”“Along with her husband Jeff, Loeffler built a Fortune 500 financial services and technology company from 100 employees to 15,000.”“Loeffler later launched another company, named Bakkt, as its founding CEO and first employee. She was also a part owner of the WNBA's Atlanta Dream.”“And Ernst, in a statement, said that ‘as a successful business owner, Kelly knows what it takes to innovate and create jobs that support American families, and I am confident that she will fight to get Washington bureaucrats off the backs of our nation's small businesses.’”Read the full article here.MAKE AMERICA HEALTHY AGAIN – RFK Jr. is receiving robust support on the Hill.
