Communism vs. Common Sense

Dear john,

America faced a harsh reality this week. As President Trump said, “We have a choice between communism and common sense.” The rubber has hit the road in New York, Virginia, and New Jersey. It didn’t matter that the attorney general–elect wanted to kill a GOP lawmaker and his family, or that Zohran Mamdani is a communist who openly despises Israel. Just 24 years after 9/11, the people of New York—once a beacon of American perseverance—have elected a mayor who represents everything this country is not.

And here’s the truth: no one will be surprised when his own policies collapse under the weight of their delusion. New Yorkers will soon discover that “free housing” is nothing more than a campaign line, one that crumbles the moment reality sets in. And when Mamdani eventually needs the NYPD to restore order, he’ll discover that he’s dismantled, demoralized, and defunded the very force that keeps the city standing. That’s not leadership. That’s an assault on the very fabric of our nation, and New Yorkers will pay the price unless America wakes up and chooses common sense again.

One Year Since President Trump Received a Mandate from the American People

This week was the anniversary of President Trump’s historic election victory over Kamala Harris. It’s been over a century since a President has left office and returned, a testament to President Trump’s leadership and vision for America. In just ten months, he’s closed the border, dismantled cartels and gang networks, ended sanctuary cities, brought gas prices down, revitalized American manufacturing, and restored our military to excellence, to name a few. President Trump is the man for the job, and it’s been a breath of fresh air to have someone in the Oval Office who does what he says he’s going to do. Keep on, Mr. President. America is rooting for you.

Celebrating our Veterans

On Tuesday of this week, Americans across our country will celebrate Veterans’ Day. I am a veteran myself, the father of a Navy SEAL, and the son of a World War II veteran. There’s no greater honor than to be a citizen of the greatest country in the history of the world and to fight for freedom and democracy on its behalf. But I also know firsthand the sacrifice these families make. I believe our veterans deserve just as much support back home as they do on active duty.

It’s been an honor to fight for them in Congress over the last ten years, and I don’t plan on stopping anytime soon. The American Dream should be the most accessible to the men and women who put their lives on the line for our country. That’s why I voted for the Working Families Tax Cut to put more money in the pockets of veterans and their families. To our veterans, thank you. Our nation is indebted to you and your courage.
