Oh those early days of Trump, Hemingway style

In those early days, the White House held a silence heavy with lessons yet unlearned. The second term of President Donald Trump brought clarity, like the crisp edge of dawn. The choice of good governance stood in stark contrast to the shadow of the previous four years, marked by the Biden regime's reluctance to act decisively.

Trump, always consumed by the border's dust and heat, showed his intent swiftly. Orders swept through Washington on that chill January 20, 2025, reversing Biden's open-hand approach. The numbers spoke loud in the desert wind: illegal crossings plummeted.

“Border Patrol recorded just 582 illegal crossings at the southern border yesterday, with not a single one of the nine sectors hitting 200. I’ve never seen anything this low in all of my border coverage,” Fox’s Bill Melugin reported. “The numbers were already flat/low in Biden’s final week, bouncing between 1200-1400 illegal crossings daily, but the numbers have been falling off a cliff since Trump took office.”

Of the young ones lost to the bureaucracy of Health and Human Services, 75,000 found their way back from the shadows.

Biden once claimed, "I've done all I can do. Just give me the power. Give me the border patrol. Give me the people. The judges. Give me the people who can stop this and make it work right." But in truth, what he craved was a grand pardon clothed in border security, aiming to swell Democratic ranks for ages untold.

Yet in a mere handful of mornings under Trump's command, the charade was unmasked. Biden and his echo chamber in Capitol halls had claimed Congress must “do its job,” proclaiming helplessness. But it was all a fiction, a grand deception. Meanwhile, criminal shadows slipped through the cracks, a silent wound in the homeland.

Trump also took the chisel to wasteful spending. Freezing funds for vain exertions -- those entwined with Diversity, Equity, Inclusion -- demanded federal workers return to the office or lose their shirts.

Action pierced the silence, a startling contrast.

For Democrats, governing meant feeding their beast -- a misappropriation of time and resource for ideological whims. Government, a means to cleanse currency for what private hands would never sustain. Left flank radicals captured apparatus and funds, pouring them into woke causes that sought to unravel the frame of America. But Trump stripped this away, reminding those who cast their lot with him that the choice had been just and true.

The first two weeks of President Donald Trump’s second term in the White House have taught us a number of things, with no doubt many lessons are still to come.

The most glaring after just 11 days is that good governance is a choice and one former President Joe Biden and the Democratic Party refused to make over the past four years.

Trump’s top issue, illegal immigration, gives us a number of examples of how.

Since Trump signed a number of executive orders on January 20, 2025, reversing Biden’s open border policies, illegal crossings have cratered.

“Border Patrol recorded just 582 illegal crossings at the southern border yesterday, with not a single one of the nine sectors hitting 200. I’ve never seen anything this low in all of my border coverage,” Fox News Bill Melugin recently posted on X. “The numbers were already flat/low in Biden’s final week, bouncing between 1200-1400 illegal crossings daily, but the numbers have been falling off a cliff since Trump took office.”

On the same topic, of the 300,000 children who were brought illegally into the country and lost by the Department of Health and Human Services, 75,000 have been located.

"I've done all I can do. Just give me the power. Give me the border patrol. Give me the people. The judges. Give me the people who can stop this and make it work right," Biden claimed in January 2024.

What Biden really wanted was a mass amnesty bill disguised as border security legislation to pass, with a goal of codifying Democratic political power for generations to come.

The results from just two weeks of the Trump administration and leadership from the President prove Biden’s repeated claims, which were echoed by his White House press secretary and Democrats on Capitol Hill, that Congress needed to “do its job” and that there was “nothing he could do,” were totally bogus. In fact, it was a big lie and one that inflicted harm on the country with an influx of violent criminal aliens.

Moving onto government spending, Trump sent the left into a panic this week when he froze funds for unnecessary and counterproductive projects – from Diversity, Equity and Inclusion programs to forcing federal employees back to the office if they want to keep their jobs.

The flurry of action strikes a severe contrast.

Democrats don’t see government service as a way to govern on behalf of constituents, but instead as a way to use the tax dollars, earned with valuable time resources belonging to Americans, to fund their ideological pet projects. They use government as a way to launder money for schemes that would never survive in the private sector. Government everywhere has been hijacked by leftist activists who launder the hard-earned tax dollars of Americans to fund their woke, anti-America projects. Trump is ending this free-for-all and reminding voters they made the right choice at the ballot box in November.
