America is sinking among the waves of incompetence, impotence, and fiscal incontinence of democratic socialist President Joe Biden.
It is jarring to recall how much brighter things looked just 27 months ago, after four years of President Donald J. Trump’s triumphs, and before Biden arrived and wrecked everything.
From A to Z, here are 26 things that Trump got right:
- Abraham Accords: Trump brokered four peace agreements among Israel and its neighbors — Bahrain, the United Arab Emirates, Morocco, and Sudan.
- Border Wall: Trump’s 458-miles of concrete and steel fortified the border and curbed illegal immigration before Biden obliterated America’s southern frontier.
- Consular offices in Jerusalem were upgraded to a U.S. embassy, thus enforcing the relevant statute that presidents Clinton through Obama circumvented.
- Deregulation: Trump promised to kill two old regulations for every new one imposed. American Action Forum counts 4.7 existing rules junked per new one implemented.
- Energy independence: Trump achieved the impossible dream of U.S. self-reliance and then made America globally dominant as a net exporter of energy for the first time since 1952.
- Freedom-of-speech protection, per Trump’s executive order, became a prerequisite for colleges to receive federal funds.
- Gorsuch, Kavanaugh, and Barrett joined the Supreme Court. Meanwhile, 223 other constitutionalists whom Trump nominated reached the federal bench.
- Historically Black Colleges and Universities scored an advocacy office in the White House, a permanent stream of federal funds, and year-round Pell Grants, to aid their summer school students. HBCU presidents begged Obama in vain for these things. Trump invited them to the Oval Office in his fifth week in Washington, listened, and approved their requests.
- Iran nuclear deal: Killed.
- Javelin anti-tank missiles that Trump provided have helped Ukraine stymie Russian invaders.
- Keystone XL Pipeline: Approved.
- Little Rocket Man, Kim Jong Un, met thrice with Trump. While North Korea did not scrap its nuclear-weapons program, it conducted zero atomic tests after this odd couple first huddled in Singapore on June 12, 2018. Kim detonated four nukesunder Obama-Biden.
- Mexico, Canada, and the U.S. signed a new trade deal that replaced the North American Free Trade Agreement.
- NATO’s finances soared, as Trump prodded U.S. allies to boost Western collective defense by $400 billion through 2024.
- Opportunity Zones incentivized $78 billion in private capital to 8,768 largely low-income, minority communities.
- Poverty fell to a rate of 10.5%, the lowest since 1959, when federal figures began. Before COVID-19 unleashed Hell on Earth, the strongest economy in 60 years drove black poverty to 18.8%, a record low.
- Qasem Soleimani, Iranian Revolutionary Guard chief, was droned to smithereens on Trump’s order. Tehran’s ayatollahs promptly learned some manners.
- Right to Try legislation freed terminally ill patients to use promising cures that awaited FDA approval.
- Space Force: Trump’s out-of-this world promise became reality as the Pentagon’s newest armed service.
- Tax Cuts and Jobs Act: This $1.9 trillion tax reduction unleashed massive economic growth that most benefitted lower-income Americans.
- Unemployment hit all-time lows for blacks and Hispanics and triggered the least female unemployment since September 1953.
- Veterans secured broader medical freedoms through VA Choice and swift punishment for abusive VA employees.
- Washington, D.C.’s school-voucher program was reauthorized with a $45 million appropriation.
- Xi Jinping and other Chinese Communist Party members restrained themselves when Trump deployed his Peace through Strength strategy. Under Biden, Red China does whatever it wants, from an unprecedented mock blockade of Taiwan to spy balloons vacuuming intelligence over America to US-based CCP “police stations” that terrorize dissidents.
- Yes votes for the First Step Act totaled 358 in the House (including 176 Democrats) and 87 in the Senate (among them, 47 Democrats). This overwhelmingly bipartisan criminal-justice-reform measure let non-violent prisoners, many black, return to their communities.
- Zero American wars began under Trump. The dovish consequences of his hawkish command were exactly opposite the “Push the nuclear button NOW!” belligerence that his deranged critics forecast.
Wouldn’t four more years of Trump be better than four years of Biden?

Three Reasons a Coffee Gift Set From This Christian Company Is Perfect for Christmas
When you’re searching for a Christmas gift that’s meaningful, useful, and rooted in faith, you don’t want to settle for anything generic. This season is filled with noise — mass-produced products, last-minute picks, and trends that fade as quickly as they appear. But one gift stands apart because it blends genuine quality with a message that matters: a coffee gift set from Promised Grounds Coffee.
This small Christian-owned company has become a favorite among believers who want to support faith-driven businesses while giving friends and family something they’ll actually enjoy. Here are three reasons a Promised Grounds Coffee gift set may be the most thoughtful and impactful present you give this year.
1. It’s Truly Delicious Coffee
Too many “gift-worthy” coffees look beautiful in the package but disappoint when the cup is poured. Promised Grounds takes the opposite approach — exceptional taste first, thoughtful presentation second.
Their beans are sourced with care, roasted in small batches, and crafted to bring out a rich, smooth flavor profile that appeals to both casual drinkers and true coffee lovers. Whether someone enjoys bold, dark roasts or lighter, more delicate blends, every sip reflects quality that stands shoulder-to-shoulder with the biggest specialty brands.
Simply put: this coffee is good. Really good. Some say it’s absolutely fantastic. If you want a gift that won’t be re-gifted, ignored, or shoved in a cabinet, this is it.
2. It Spreads the Word While Serving a Real Purpose
There are many Christian gifts that are meaningful… but not exactly practical. There are also useful gifts that have nothing to do with faith. Promised Grounds Coffee bridges both worlds beautifully.
Each gift set delivers an encouraging, faith-centered message through its packaging and presentation — a simple but powerful reminder of God’s goodness during the Christmas season. The cups are especially popular and serve as a daily reminder of the blessings from our Lord. At the same time, the product itself is something people will actually use and appreciate every single day.
It’s a gift that uplifts the spirit and fills the mug. A gift that points loved ones toward Scripture while still being part of the normal rhythm of life. And in a culture that increasingly pushes faith to the margins, giving a gift that quietly but confidently honors Christ can make a deeper impact than you might expect.
3. It’s Affordable, Valuable, and Elegantly Presented
Many people want to give something meaningful without breaking their Christmas budget. Promised Grounds Coffee strikes that perfect balance — the sets look and feel premium, but the price remains accessible.
The packaging is classy, clean, and gift-ready, making it ideal for:
- Family members of all ages
- Co-workers or employees
- Church friends or small-group leaders
- Hosts, neighbors, and last-minute gift needs
It’s the kind of gift that feels more expensive than it is — and more thoughtful than most of what you’ll find on store shelves.
The Perfect Blend of Faith, Flavor, and Christmas Cheer
A coffee gift set from Promised Grounds Coffee checks every box: a gift that tastes amazing, conveys your faith, supports a Christian business, and brings daily enjoyment to the person who receives it. In a season when so many gifts are forgotten, this one stands out for all the right reasons.
If you want a Christmas present that reflects your values and delivers genuine joy, Promised Grounds Coffee is the perfect place to start.
Great stuff, Deroy. Thank you.
Very clear differences between authentic elections and fraudulent stolen ones.
Without a doubt. Best president America has had in my many years. If freedom hurt’s your feelings, you may want to leave and go to some Marxist toilet bowl country. And get in line. Freedom loving Americans want their country back. You globalists are picking a fight with sane people. We weren’t looking for trouble. Just respect our constitutional rights. You’re trying to cram unrealistic science down our throats. And tell us how to think and what to think, and to pretend you’re not insane. No thanks. I’m sticking to real science and realistic truth. Not your ‘truth’. So there.
If you feel something similar, feel free to share your sentiments with me and others. If you feel differently, save it. I’m tired of hearing from idealistic fools.
