Looking Back at 2025: The Revolution Is Just Beginning
End-of-year wrap-ups take three forms: autopsy, obituary, or eulogy. If the year is particularly bad, it is dissected like a corpse and forgotten in a morgue freezer. If it had its moments, a few biographical flourishes are relived. And, occasionally, a year is filled with enough memorable events to deserve a grand send-off.
None of these traditional forms do 2025 justice. Why? Because this year has been something much greater than twelve calendar months. It is the beginning of real change. What kind of change will come is still uncertain, but people know that something significant is happening. Reality as we know it is shifting in a new direction.
President Trump was not supposed to return to the White House. The political Establishment and corporate news media flooded his first term with fake scandals, rigged the 2020 election with fraudulent mail-in ballots, put him and his supporters in legal jeopardy, and stirred up enough venomous leftist outrage to incite at least two attempts on his life. When Trump became president-elect once again last year, there was an almost tangible sense of frustration within the corridors of American power and an almost audible lament: How did this happen again?
Among President Trump’s many accomplishments, his greatest has surely been his ability to pull back the propaganda press’s filtered news curtain to expose as inherently corrupt both the political Uniparty (in which Republicans and Democrats conspire for mutual gain while pretending to fight in front of the American people) and the entrenched federal bureaucracy that sees itself as the actual permanent government of the United States.
When Trump arrived in Washington in 2017, both political parties and the whole federal government were aligned against him. Lawmakers worked to scuttle his efforts to protect America’s borders. Bureaucrats undermined his official policies and sabotaged his administration from within. Intelligence officials inside the CIA and FBI plotted to remove President Trump from office by framing him as a Russian spy. After the rigged 2020 election and the collective efforts of the DOJ, Congress, the courts, and the press to transform the three-hour-long Capitol trespass on January 6, 2021 — in which unarmed Americans, including veterans and retirees, mostly strolled through the halls of Congress as smiling tourists — into a “violent insurrection” with the made-up goal of “overthrowing” the U.S. government, D.C.’s vampiric Deep State thought that it had dispensed with Trump for good.
The government vampire was wrong. Not only did Trump weather multi-pronged legal storms after his departure from office in 2021, but also his supporters endured four years of government-orchestrated censorship, disparagement, harassment, malicious prosecution, and threats to their well-being.
For several years, Establishment Republicans and Democrats thought they had succeeded in destroying Donald Trump, splintering his MAGA movement, and scattering his vision for America’s future to the wind. RINO-extraordinaire Paul Ryan openly laughed about the prospect of Trump’s electoral chances in 2024 and spurned Trump’s enduring impact on the Republican Party. The political ruling class was certain that MAGA Americans could be shamed into silence and that primary voters would turn their backs on Donald Trump.
D.C.’s cruel and crusty aristocracy was wrong. The more that MAGA Americans were forced to suffer during the Biden years, the steelier their resolve became. The more courtrooms that Donald Trump was forced to enter as a defendant, the more hardened his countenance transformed. As Donald Trump glared at corrupt prosecutors and judges, his supporters similarly glared at a corrupt D.C. system that has threatened us all for too long.
During the four years while President Trump was out of office, D.C.’s ruling class gave us COVID tyranny, mass censorship, new foreign entanglements, “green energy” mandates, record-high inflation, political persecution, skyrocketing crime, and twenty million additional illegal aliens whom the federal government criminally aided and abetted by using taxpayer dollars to relocate armies of foreign nationals into vulnerable communities across the United States.
In contradistinction to the peace and prosperity of Trump’s first term, Biden’s “autopen” presidency was disastrous economically, militarily, and diplomatically. Biden’s Department of “Homeland Security” opened America’s borders to every terrorist, slaver, drug trafficker, welfare sponge, and foreign saboteur. The number of murders, rapes, and other violent crimes rose markedly. In order to keep all the bad news from reaching the public, the political ruling class attempted to erect a “disinformation governance board” to monitor, police, and censor public speech.
Whether out of hubris, delusion, or raw contempt for the American people (and probably all three), the Deep State thought four costly years under puppet-President Biden would appear more attractive to Americans than the prior four years under Trump — during which the border was far better secured, Main Street businesses were earning record profits, linguistic “wokery” was openly mocked, “climate change” fraudsters were constrained from selling fear to make money, the military-industrial complex was prevented from starting new wars, and both Xi’s China and Putin’s Russia were kept in check.
The Deep State Leviathan was wrong. When people had a chance to halt the chaos of the Biden years by returning Trump to office, they chose to do so overwhelmingly. Not even fraudulent mail-in ballots, blatant disregard for state election laws, activist Democrat judges, and the illegal certification of unlawful votes could save Kamala Harris after she euthanized Joe Biden in the run-up to the 2024 general election. The American people wanted President Trump to finish the job he had begun eight years earlier.
What has President Trump accomplished for the American people in 2025? He has effectively sealed America’s borders. He has assembled a large and well-funded group of law enforcement officers to hunt down criminal illegal aliens already inside the United States. He has gone to war with the narco-terrorists and transnational cartels. He has used tariffs to reorient the global economy to the benefit of American producers and consumers. He has halted the Biden administration’s double-digit inflation. He has thrown out economy-killing “green energy” regulations and sunk the price of gas to the lowest it’s been in years. He has cut murder, rape, and other violent crime rates by double-digits across the country. He has confronted the corrupt Deep State head-on by identifying and quickly neutralizing employees of the State Department, DOJ, FBI, and broader Intelligence Community who believe that they are entitled to dictate American foreign policy. He has confronted the corrupt federal bureaucracy head-on by identifying and quickly neutralizing saboteurs who believe that they are entitled to “govern” as presidents.
President Trump has put NATO on notice that Americans won’t be paying and dying for unnecessary European wars. He has put Iran on notice that its days of using terrorist proxies to cause Middle East unrest and global economic mayhem are over. He has put China on notice that the United States has no intention of handing a communist, totalitarian regime the keys to controlling the twenty-first or twenty-second centuries. He has put Venezuela and other South American communist, narco-terrorist nations on notice that America demands security, stability, law, and order in the Western Hemisphere. He has put Russia on notice that the two Cold War superpowers can either work together for mutual economic gain or bash heads for the Machiavellian enjoyment of communist China and the socialist European Union.
During the first year of President Trump’s second term, his administration has hit the ground running. The president seeks nothing less than to reorganize the global balance of power both economically and militarily.
Twenty-twenty-five can’t be eulogized because it is the essential hinge of a MAGA-sized door opening to the next era of history. There’s no way to put this year to bed when the revolution is just beginning.
