Principles First; Truth Always --The Prickly Pear

If the midterm argument is really about your wallet, the numbers aren't close

• 19.2% vs. 7.8%. Cumulative inflation: Biden versus Trump.
• 41% higher. Avg. gas prices under Biden versus Trump. Peaked at $5.01 per gallon.
• $1,200 to $2,000. What the typical household loses every year if the Trump tax cuts were allowed to expire.
• 12%: How much stock market growth under Biden lagged behind Trump’s first term.
• Net total energy exporter: Under Trump, the United States reached this status for the first time in 67 years.

You pulled up to the pump this week and watched the number climb past where it should be. A tariff fight with Canada reads more like a family feud than foreign policy. The Oval Office has gone gold, and somebody decided the Kennedy Center needed a facelift. You are allowed to be annoyed.

But do not confuse annoyance with danger. Gold trim is temporary. A worldview is not.

Every election comes down to one question: the vision, not the man. Which side is more likely to advance my prosperity and my security? That is the whole ballot. Everything else is window dressing.

It's not just what their leaders say out loud. It is that their voters actually believe it.

Last 30 days of Trump Achievements

Here’s what the Trump administration has rolled out in just the last 30 days

that the legacy media refuses to cover with the seriousness they deserve:

Trump’s Latest Initiatives and Action Items

• Signed an executive order to cut bureaucratic red tape and speed rebuilding of homes destroyed by the 2025 California wildfires.

• Launched “Trump Accounts” — a new program that provides $1,000 for every American newborn to be invested for their future, boosted by private sector contributions from major companies.

• Major corporations like JPMorgan & Bank of America are matching Trump Account contributions to expand impact for U.S. children.

• Added 15 new medications to the Medicare drug-price negotiation program to help seniors save on costly prescriptions.

• Intensified pressure on Iran with a strong military posture to defend U.S. interests and stop nuclear escalation.

• Holding Cabinet meetings to tackle government priorities, including reopening air travel to Venezuela and launching the TrumpRx drug pricing resource.

• Expanding foreign aid restrictions to stop DEI and “gender ideology” funding overseas, pushing back against woke global agendas.

• Demanding sanctuary city reforms and stronger federal enforcement to protect communities.

And of course, this is all on top of the historic momentum he’s already built — from securing the border and reshaping foreign policy to reigniting American industry and revitalizing national pride.
