The globalist machine is sputtering, its gears grinding against the simple, stubborn will of patriotic nations. The news from Europe this week is a symphony of panic, played by the same bureaucrats who thought their reign of mass migration, censorship, and endless foreign wars was a permanent fixture. President Trump’s move to openly support patriotic, nationalist forces across the pond has sent a shockwave through the Brussels bubble, where leaders are deeply unpopular precisely because of their anti-sovereign, anti-family, and anti-White policies. They built their house on the sand of open borders and moral relativism, and now the tide is coming in. (more: url1)

This panic manifests in a desperate, almost comical, attempt to cling to power. The European Union, that bloated supranational experiment in erasing national identity, is now facing calls for its own abolition from none other than Elon Musk. When the world’s most prominent technologist declares your political project a failure, it’s time for some serious introspection—though introspection is not the globalist strong suit. They’d rather fine and censor. (more: url1)

The American response to this decaying edifice has been gloriously blunt. The Trump administration has officially declared that the EU’s freeloading days, particularly on the back of American military protection, are over. This isn’t mere rhetoric; it’s a financial and strategic realignment that puts America First. Why should American sons and daughters, and American treasure, be spent defending nations that openly despise our values and flood their own countries with illegal aliens? The freeloading extends beyond defense, of course, into a cultural imperialism where EU diktats on digital speech are forced upon American companies. Thankfully, senior U.S. diplomats have slammed the EU’s "attack" on platform X, declaring the days of censoring Americans online are over. The French party leader who called the EU’s massive fine against X a "violent attack on free speech" is a sign that even within Europe, the walls are cracking. The globalist censorship regime is meeting its match. (more: url1) (more: url1) (more: url1)

This same rot of corruption and waste is visible in the domestic programs of the previous regime. A watchdog has discovered nearly $100 million in Obamacare subsidies were paid out to dead people. It’s a perfect metaphor for the left’s entire governing philosophy: propping up a dead, bureaucratic system with money taken from the living, productive class. The fraud is systemic, from healthcare to foreign policy. Consider the Ukraine debacle, where the New York Times—belatedly and reluctantly—reports that the Zelenskyy government misspent Western aid and stifled audits. We’ve been saying this for years while being called Putin apologists. The entire affair has been a money-laundering scheme for the military-industrial complex and a grave for countless young men, all while the NPCs in Kiev continue their scripted, losing moves.

While the globalists fret over their borders in Brussels, they have utterly abandoned our own. The chaos at the southern border, which Biden’s own advisers warned would happen, is not an accident; it’s policy. It’s the deliberate dismantling of national sovereignty and the White, Christian foundation of our country. The human cost is no longer abstract. An illegal alien, who should never have been here, injured four police officers in a gas station shootout. In Charlotte, a stabbing incident serves as another grim reminder of the violent consequences of open borders. Every crime committed by an illegal alien is a crime enabled by the traitors in our own government. The only sane response is the one now being implemented: deportation. The news that the U.S. is deporting more Iranians is a good start, but we must deport all non-White immigrants who have broken our laws to enter. The tide must turn.

Amidst this necessary cleanup, the administration is also looking to rebuild what has been broken. The expected $12 billion farm aid program is a welcome salve for the heartland, which has been under constant assault from climate cultists and globalist trade deals. This is putting America First in practice, supporting the families who feed our nation. (more: url1)

To secure these gains for the long term, the administrative state—that deep-state blob of unelected radicals—must be brought to heel. The Supreme Court is set to hear a case that could hand the President unchecked power to fire agency heads, toppling a 90-year precedent. This is a pivotal battle. If the President cannot control the executive branch, then the bureaucrats who push critical race theory, sexual deviancy, and vaccine mandates remain in power regardless of elections. The related case involving the FTC commissioner is part of the same essential fight: who runs the country, the people’s elected representative or a cabal of “experts”? We must cheer on every effort to dismantle this fourth branch of government. (more: url1) (more: url1)

The cultural front offers flickers of hope amidst the darkness. Even on the left, the absurdity of biological males in female spaces is becoming too much to swallow, as seen when a left-wing guest stunned Bill Maher by rejecting this insanity. Truth has a way of reasserting itself, however uncomfortable it may be for the woke mob. Meanwhile, the fight for life continues. Seventeen pro-life advocates were arrested for protesting at an infanticide mill, while a new children’s book brazenly tells kids that killing babies is “awesome.” The demonic nature of this crusade is laid bare; they are now targeting the innocence of children to normalize murder. We must stand with those arrested and redouble our prayers. (more: url1) (more: url1) (more: url1)

Our own political ranks are seeing a welcome infusion of spine. A top Trump official’s wife is going on the attack against the smears of the press, and in Georgia, an anti-establishment firebrand like Colton Moore is running to replace strong America First voices, showing the movement’s energy. Even the Democrats are being caught in their own lies, as one learned after falsely claiming she watched a video of a Trump administration incident. The truth always comes out.

Yet, in the midst of this political and cultural warfare, we must remember our first allegiance is to God. The confusion in the modern Vatican, with its attempt to “play both sides” on the question of women deacons as noted by Bishop Eleganti, is a reminder of why we must hold fast to traditional Catholic doctrine. The Church is under siege from modernists, just as our nations are under siege from globalists. Our fight is spiritual as much as it is political. (more: url1)

When the news seems a relentless parade of corruption, invasion, and moral decay, we must anchor ourselves in a higher truth. The great Stoic Emperor Marcus Aurelius wrote in his Meditations: “The impediment to action advances action. What stands in the way becomes the way.” Every obstacle we see—the corrupt EU, the deep state, the infanticide lobby, the invading hordes—is not a reason for despair, but the very material through which we must forge our victory. Our resistance to these evils is the action that defines our character and secures our future. They stand in the way, and so they become the way. We clear the obstacle by confronting it with truth, courage, and faith. This is how we turn the tide, by recognizing each challenge not as a defeat, but as the divinely-ordained path to restoration. Christ has already won the ultimate victory; our duty is to manifest that truth in our time, turning every impediment into an advance for God, Family, and Country.
