Trump’s triumphs vs. Democrat failures: Celebrating life over death

What spectacular news this week for the United States and the world.
President Trump did the impossible — again! He brokered an epic peace deal in the Middle East, embraced by Israel and multiple Arab and regional powers.
There is still much work to do in the most ambitious diplomatic reset since the last Trump administration: the Abraham accords.
But if the peace holds, it will save thousands of lives.
After tackling the preservation of global lives, Trump immediately returned to the United States in time to posthumously award Charlie Kirk the Presidential Medal of Freedom on what would have been his 32nd birthday.
In addition, this week Trump announced Operation Summer Heat, in which the FBI made crushing crime a top law enforcement priority, stating, “Just as we are forging peace and stability abroad, we are also restoring peace and safety and stability at home.”
Protecting people globally and locally — and celebrating life.
And how was the opposition party making news this week?
Well, aside from the Schumer Shutdown, we’re discussing text messages sent in 2022 by Democrat candidate for Attorney General in Virginia, Jay Jones, where he fantasized about Todd Gilbert, his GOP opponent, getting bullets to the head. Jones even suggested violent scenarios involving Gilbert’s children and implying that harming them would be a way to inflict personal pain on Gilbert — and perhaps cause him to rethink his views on guns.
But this shouldn’t be a surprise. The Democrat party may campaign on hope, change, and building better, but it is controlled by the Left, which relies on fear and destruction.
Whether on a global, local, or individual level, Democrats claim to care, especially about people of color, but their governance does not reflect this. Globally, Democrats held power for twelve of the sixteen years from 2008 to 2024. They failed to bring about peace in the Middle East, Asia, Africa, or Ukraine.
At the local level, Democrat leaders opened our borders to unvetted individuals, lost track of thousands of unaccompanied foreign minors — many likely falling into the hands of traffickers at our own government’s expense — and released violent criminals back into neighborhoods through shortened sentences, cashless bail, and lenient probation policies.
The result: the unnecessary deaths of people killed by individuals who should never have been on the streets in this country.
Finally, on an individual level, Democrats are big on black lives mattering, but it’s really exploitable black deaths that matter. Take George Floyd as an example.
After Charlie Kirk’s assassination, some in the media compared the deaths of George Floyd and Charlie Kirk, appearing to worry that MAGA has found its George Floyd.
Their comparisons missed a huge difference between the accidental death of Floyd and the deliberate, pre-meditated assassination of Kirk.
It was Charlie Kirk’s life that was being celebrated. That’s why he received the recognition of the world and the president.
As his senseless death was mourned, there were no riots, no arson, no violence — but there was Erika Kirk, publicly forgiving her husband’s assassin. And there were reports of increased church attendances.
For George Floyd, all that mattered was his death. What followed was part vigil and part violence. The responses could not have been more different.
Sadly, though every life has something to celebrate — and Floyd was no exception — his life did not matter to those rioting, only his death. However, out of respect, the positives of Floyd’s life deserve some mention.
Floyd moved to Minneapolis after leaving prison in Texas for a fresh start.
For seven years in his new home state, he had no criminal record, though it is unknown how many crimes he may have committed while in the famously liberal state.
He connected with a Christian work program that helped formerly incarcerated men. He worked as a security guard at the Salvation Army Harbor Light Center in downtown Minneapolis, and as a bouncer at a nightclub. He also mentored younger men in his church community, reportedly encouraging them to avoid crime and make better choices than he had.
Floyd was a sinner preaching a Christian message to troubled youth, sharing Christian values, and trying to save souls and live those values himself. That’s a similarity to Charlie Kirk — though Floyd was not working on nearly as grand a scale.
Alas, like every human being, Floyd still struggled with his demons. The official autopsy and toxicology reports confirmed that he had enough drugs in his system to kill him. And he first drew the attention of law enforcement by attempting to pass a counterfeit bill onto a small store owner in an attempt to defraud him.
But none of that mattered. What mattered was that there was a white police officer who could be blamed. So, Democrats turned this, “flawed and desperate man into a Christ figure.”
This, too, shouldn’t be a surprise.
