Celebrating the Best Year for American Conservatives Ever

Tis The Season to Be Jolly!

I had a minor epiphany at the gas pump the other day. Looking up at the $2.39 sign—$1.99 in Texas—I realized that the GOP could have no more effective or honest free advertising heading into November than these ubiquitous signs.

The prices are lower and should stay low for one reason above others: the climate change tyranny has been toppled. In late October, yes, even Bill Gates said “No mas.” Gates shocked his fellow doomsday cultists by conceding that climate change “will not lead to humanity’s demise.”

The energy demands of AI have forced the tech elites to see that there are better ways to virtue signal than to build windmills. The timing is good. The Trump administration— kudos here to Lee Zeldin at EPA and Doug Borgum at Interior—has been more than happy to oblige this change of heart.

Equally heartening has been the complete collapse of the DEI regime. Who would have thought five years ago when diversity officers were storming through our institutions like Cossacks that their movement would end with a whimper in 2025? Special shout out here to Secretary of War Pete Hegseth and Harmeet Dhillon, assistant attorney general for Civil Rights.

Arguably no one deserves more credit in the Trump administration than the relentless Border Czar Tom Homan. In addition to securing the border—crossings are down 95 percent—he and his interagency colleagues have already located some 129,000 smuggled children, many of whom were involved in forced labor and sex trafficking. And despite massive resistance from the Left, more than 2.5 million illegal aliens have been removed or self-deported from our country, many of these actively involved in crime.

Due in no small part to the work of ICE and the Border Patrol, the Real Time Crime Index, tracking 570 law enforcement agencies, reports 1,867 murders through October 2025—down 19.3% from 2,313 in 2024, the largest one-year plunge on record. Has anyone noticed?

We petitioned to defund Planned Parenthood for years. This year we got our wish.

Oh, yes, I know, Congress sucks, but despite their teeny majorities the Senate managed to confirm all of Trump’s key appointees, and the House managed to pass the Big Beautiful Bill, in the process defunding NPR, PBS, and Planned Parenthood, major victories all. If our talking heads chose not to notice, theirs did.

Critically, the Supreme Court with its three Trump-appointed justices upheld the defunding of Planned Parenthood. The Court also helped multiple states prevail in their war against trans mania. The Court may also affirm Trump’s executive order to end birthright citizenship. It has certainly left the door open.

Change has been so swift everywhere that few noticed last week when HHS honcho Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced, “Today we’re taking six decisive actions guided by gold standard science and the week one executive order from President Trump to protect children from chemical and surgical mutilation.” Kennedy has done a Herculean job sweeping out the dung from the HHS stables.

Need more good cheer? Here is the headline from the December 23 Wall Street Journal, “Consumers Power Strongest U.S. Economic Growth in Two Years, A long-delayed government reprot shows third-quarter GDP grew at an annual 4.3% rate.” Here is a New York Times headline from December 18, “Inflation Unexpectedly Slowed to 2.7% in November.”

Let’s see, what else happened in 2025? Oh, yea, we took out Iran’s nuclear facilities in lss than half an hour, which enabled us to bring something like peace to the Middle East. We finally took action against the narco terrorists who have been poisoning our young and stupid with impunity. We persuaded China to stop sending fentanyl components to Mexico, and we settled something like eight wars in countries most of us couldn’t find on a map.

Okay, admittedly, we haven’t got everything we wanted yet. So this Christmas I’ll ask Santa to put Brennan and Comey behind bars and have Nick Fuentes abducted by space aliens. I’ll ask Santa to fill Mark Levin’s stocking with Xanax and Tucker Carlson’s with humility pills. As a special favor, I will ask Santa to deprogram Candace Owens, a tough job but that’s what his elves are for.

More generally, I will ask Santa to lift the mass formation psychosis that prevents so many conservatives from seeing their blessings, let alone counting them. RINOs can’t change their stripes. WHINOs can and should.

One more thing, Santa. Thanks for bringing Dan Bongino back. We need him more than the FBI.
