In recent days, Boulder, Colorado, has found itself at the center of national attention following a dreadful terrorist attack targeting a group of Jewish people. How did we get to a point where even the mere act of deporting the terrorist’s family becomes a convoluted saga? The Trump administration made swift moves to deport the suspect’s wife and kids, but a judge apparently felt the need to intervene and block this action. This not only baffles logic but seems to prioritize political games over the safety and security of the American people.
But what’s even more mind-boggling is the media’s response. One would hope the press would focus on the real victims—those attacked in broad daylight. Instead, a major national newspaper felt it necessary to highlight the supposed plight of the terrorist’s daughter, lamenting her dream of studying medicine being thwarted. The correct headline should have pointed out the stark reality that her father is the one responsible for disrupting her life, not ICE and certainly not President Trump.
Meanwhile, as common sense hangs by a thread, Democrats are now concerned about ICE agents wearing masks. This worry is fascinating coming from a group that spent years mandating masks for practically everyone, everywhere. Ah, how quickly they shift their stances when it suits the narrative. This trivial objection distracts from the real issues, such as addressing the judges who seem to think they wield presidential power by issuing these endless injunctions. It’s time to stop this dangerous game and prioritize America’s safety.
In response to these outrageous setbacks, President Trump took decisive action by signing a proclamation that bans entry for citizens from several volatile countries. It’s a bold, necessary step to protect American citizens from potential threats, especially following the Colorado attack. Of course, lawsuits are likely to follow because some seem to think lawsuits are the go-to reaction to every presidential move that doesn’t fit their agenda. Still, it is a wise and prudent measure that shows a commitment to keeping the country safe.
The fact remains that America’s safety and economic growth are paramount. Under President Trump’s guidance, the economic projections are looking brighter. His administration has been instrumental in reducing the deficit, spurring domestic investments, and opening up energy exploration—all moves that translate into substantial benefits for Americans. Now is the time to continue this trajectory of prosperity and security, ensuring that more Americans feel the country is on the right track. It appears, just maybe, common sense still has a fighting chance.
