SPEAKER MIKE JOHNSON – After President Trump’s historic victory in November – in which he earned a historic mandate from the American people by not only winning the White House, but also Republican majorities in the House and Senate – the Republican Party is more united than ever to enact his agenda to Make America Great Again!

The vote to name Speaker Mike Johnson the Speaker of the House following President Trump’s strong endorsement reaffirmed it!

President Trump is ready to lead America into a new Golden Age – supported by the House, the Senate, and tens of millions of Americans around the country!

In the words of President Trump, “We will all be working together with total benefit going to the people of our nation. Our country will be run with strength and common sense again…America is back.”

UNDER BIDEN, AMERICA UNDER THREAT – The horrific terrorist attacks this week show the increased national security threat our country faces from terror after four years of Joe Biden’s failed administration.

• As reported by the Washington Times last year, the “Terror Threat Snapshot” compiled by the House Homeland Security Committee “[laid] out in disturbing detail the number of jihadist cases in the U.S. over just the past three years and shines a spotlight on how so-called ‘soft targets’ inside America could be vulnerable to terror attacks. The report…also pointedly fault[ed] the administration for what it says has been a ‘weak’ and inadequate response to the danger in recent years … The disturbing cases at home come at the same time that terror groups abroad are gaining strength, potentially giving them the resources and the motivation to more aggressively target America.”

Because of Biden’s weakness, the terror threat against the U.S. homeland has skyrocketed. It’s part of a broader picture of failed policies from the Biden administration that undermine the security of the United States.

The Border

According to a report from NBC News, “the Department of Homeland Security has identified over 400 immigrants who have come to the U.S. from Central Asia and elsewhere as ‘subjects of concern’ because they were brought by an ISIS-affiliated human smuggling network.” Concerningly, at least 50 were at large for months in the United States after the Biden administration released them into the country.

Further, a report from the DHS Inspector General called out Biden’s woefully inadequate vetting procedures. This concern is not new; border experts have been sounding the alarm for years. They have noted that the ability to vet illegal aliens from countries with conditions that pose a threat to national security – otherwise known as “special interest countries” – simply does not exist. Their warnings went unheeded by the Biden administration.

And these are just the illegal aliens Biden has purposefully released into our communities, saying nothing of the approximately 2 million known “gotaways” who have crossed the border and escaped into the U.S. since Biden took office. Astonishingly (or at least it would be if willful incompetence wasn’t the norm), Biden’s impeached DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas is still claiming success.

Iran

By reversing President Trump’s successful “maximum pressure” policy, Biden has filled Iran’s coffers. On his watch, Iran’s foreign reserves have grown by tens of billions of dollars as his administration has either waved or refused to fully enforce sanctions on the regime. As a result, the largest state-sponsor of terror has empowered their proxies to launch terror attacks on the U.S., our interests, and our allies, including the heinous Hamas attack on October 7^th. Iran itself even directly attacked Israel.

These attacks – over 160 against U.S. forces in just a matter of months – killed three U.S. servicemembers and injured over 100. One proxy, the Iran-backed Houthi terrorists, has increased their attacks to such an extent as to pose a major threat to international shipping. Two U.S. servicemembers died trying to intercept weapon shipments to the Houthis.

Even as Iran continued to send arms and intelligence to these proxies, Biden refused to reinstate President Trump’s “maximum pressure” policy.

Afghanistan

Biden’s Afghanistan withdrawal was the worst foreign policy catastrophe in a generation.

Among the failures was Biden’s decision to abandon Bagram Air Base, which freed thousands of “hardcore ISIS fighters.” One of those terrorists killed 13 American heroes in the Kabul airport attack. Just a few years later, Al Qaeda is calling terrorists to Afghanistan to train to launch attacks as the country has become a “safe haven” for terrorists. According to experts, Al Qaeda now has training camps in at least 10 provinces.

Yet, Biden insults the servicemembers who served, the families who lost loved ones, and the American people by claiming he was “right” and his withdrawal was an “extraordinary success.”

That is the only the beginning of the innumerable number of ways Biden undermined our national security. President Trump eradicated ISIS and protected the U.S. homeland before. He will protect America again when back in office. To do so, he needs his team in place on day one – the risks to our national security are too high to delay.

“LET US STRIVE FOR A FUTURE WHERE PEACE PREVAILS” – First Lady Melania Trump issued the following statement after the horrific terrorist attacks.

“SEE YOU ON JANUARY 20^TH” – President Trump is needed back in office now more than ever. If you missed his statement, read it below:

“AMERICA'S FARMERS NEED BROOKE ROLLINS” – Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders is out with a new op-ed in support of Brooke Rollins for Agriculture Secretary.

Some highlights:

• “President-elect Trump scored win after win for our farm families during his first term and I know that’s one of his top goals for his second. But as the old saying goes, personnel is policy. That’s why we need Brooke Rollins, President Trump’s nominee to serve as secretary of agriculture, to be confirmed as soon as possible.”
• “I worked with Brooke in the White House, where she and I were part of a group of women empowered by President Trump to fight for his America First vision…She worked especially hard to roll back onerous red tape like the Waters of the United States policy, which President Obama wanted to use to regulate every stream, creek and puddle in America.”
• “Farming isn’t just intellectual to Brooke. She grew up in a small, agricultural community in Texas and comes from generations of hardworking American farmers. She studied agriculture at Texas A&M and spent the early part of her career fighting to protect farmers’ interests. She was part of 4-H and FFA and raises steer with her four kids.”
• “I’ve always believed that farming is more than just a business. Especially in places like smalltown Arkansas, it’s a way of life. It’s our state’s culture, our history and what knits communities like McGehee together. If our farmers disappear, something critical to the spirit of Arkansas – and America – would disappear along with them. Brooke understands that fact – and she’s prepared to do something about it.”
• “I know she is committed to improving broadband and connectivity in our small communities, helping rural Arkansas connect with the world. And I know she will fight to realize President Trump’s vision of a dominant America – in food, in energy and in everything else.”
• “Confirm Brooke as secretary of agriculture. Stand up for America’s farmers. Preserve our agriculture industry – and our nation’s way of life.”

“WHY CHEFS LIKE ME SUPPORT RFK JR.” – Chefs are supporting RFK, Jr.’s nomination to lead HHS.

A new op-ed explains:

• “The mission of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services is to enhance the health and well-being of Americans. Somewhere during its journey of growth and influence, however, HHS lost its way.”
• “If this is to be corrected, new leadership is required to move us back to an era of less processed food, healthier ingredients, and logical choices that enhance our health. Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. has the focus, knowledge, enthusiasm, and influence to effect much-needed change in our food system.”
• “This country needs a fresh perspective on food. Systems must be revamped to bring ‘health’ back into the food equation. Let’s look at the bigger picture: Healthy food will result in a healthy population, and a healthy population reduces health care costs. We have allowed ourselves to become addicted to processed foods, unhealthy ingredients, and poor production techniques.”
• “The solution will not happen overnight, but we need to start somewhere. Kicking this can down the road will only make the solution more difficult at the expense of all Americans. RFK Jr. is the only person who has clearly demonstrated the will to initiate this change.”
• “If we hope to become a healthier country, we need a visionary leader to help change our perspective, educate the populace, and reshape the agencies that have allowed this country to equate laboratory additives with good health. RFK Jr. is that leader.”
