Alright, let’s talk about something refreshing. Not a press conference. Not a task force. Not another government study that costs $40 million to conclude drugs are… bad.

No, ladies and gentlemen, it looks like America finally remembered how to win a fight.

El Mencho has been arrested, and the CNJG cartel has been hit hard.

Did you know that El Mencho was arrested in San Franciso and RELEASED. Back in 1989.

Because while most of Washington was busy holding symposiums about “root causes” and hosting empathy workshops for criminals, President Trump just helped take down one of the most powerful cartel bosses on planet Earth. El Mencho. Gone. Finished. Game over for one very important résumé in organized crime.

And the reaction has been fascinating.

Not from the cartels. They reacted exactly how you’d expect. Panic, scrambling, hiding money, switching phones every eight minutes. Totally normal criminal behavior.

Do you know that the president of Mexico said she didn't want to use force against the cartels because it would violate their human rights.

"Returning to the war against the narco is not an option. First, because it is outside the framework of the law."

The interesting reaction came from politicians.

Suddenly, people who never showed urgency about fentanyl deaths are deeply concerned about… escalation. Isn’t that amazing? For years Americans were dying by the tens of thousands, and Washington’s response was basically a candlelight vigil and a grant proposal. But the moment a cartel leader gets eliminated, now we need caution. Now we need nuance. Now everybody’s a geopolitical philosopher.

It’s almost like stability was working out pretty well for somebody.

Let’s be honest about what cartels are. These aren’t guys in pickup trucks making bad decisions. These are multinational corporations with better logistics than most Fortune 500 companies. They run supply chains, security divisions, intelligence networks, and marketing operations. The only difference between a cartel and a tech startup is one sells poison and the other sells your data… and sometimes I’m not sure which one Congress regulates more.

CJNG, El Mencho’s organization, wasn’t just a cartel. It was an army with branding. Drones, armored vehicles, territory control. These guys weren’t hiding from governments. In many places, they were the government.

One of my acquaintances tweeted, “Whoever the producer of tonight’s State of The Union broadcast is, has to be the biggest troll in America.”

They said this because with the president said, “Because they refused to call their daughter a boy”, the cameraman panned to that Democrat Congressional freak man who is playing a woman.

Then, when President Trump mentioned, “Somali Pirates” the camera cuts to Ilhan Omar.

Bravo!

This is a guy who just ended his videographer career.

Understand that prior to the SOTU, news broke that the CIA retracted 19 politicized intelligence products many of which improperly inserted DEI nonsense into intel analysis. These reports spanned over a decade, and included assessments on white women, white males and violent extremism, LGBT issues, abortion, and more.

I joked recently, “It’s ok to be Christian, heterosexual, and white again”.

I told people that it’s best to wait a few days after an event like the SOTU, because the topic will have soaked a bit. To use cooking terms, the sauce becomes a reduction, whereby we get all the great flavor combinations.

And what a sauce the Democrats have concocted.

Included in the fallout is this update from sources close to high-ranking Democrats who have revealed growing internal panic following the party’s response to President Trump’s SOTU address. These sources described Democrats’ counter-protests and boycott events as a “disaster”. Apparently, the events are described as leaving the Democrats appearing “childish” and “disorganized”.

I saw videos of one event, and it looked like a third-grade production put on by adults. Leftists wore with frog and giraffe costumes and performed lame attempts at comedy

Have you stopped to consider the number of lies Democrats tell themselves?

It’s enormous.

I don’t know how they live themselves, except to say they’re scared to leave the cult.

Blatant lies.

Covid. Vaccine effectiveness. Masks. Etc.

Guns. Border policy. 2020 election. 2022 midterms. J6.

The strangest thing about the hypothetical was not the shouting. It was the silence.

At precisely midnight, something shifted. No executive order. No Supreme Court ruling. No viral hashtag. Just an inexplicable civic condition: every Democrat in America, from city council to Capitol Hill, suddenly lost the ability to lie.

Not exaggerate. Not deflect. Not rebrand. Lie.

By sunrise, the cable news studios looked like aquariums after someone forgot to oxygenate the tank. Pundits opened their mouths with the usual choreography, but what came out was unfiltered oxygen. Raw. Bracing. Occasionally fatal to reputations.

The first hearings convened before breakfast.

A senior Democrat, long fond of describing January 6 as an existential threat on par with Pearl Harbor and 9/11, leaned toward the microphone and admitted that while the riot was disgraceful, the apocalyptic rhetoric proved politically invaluable. It unified a fractured caucus. It redirected scrutiny away from pandemic policy failures. It froze debate. “Most secure election in history,” another repeated, before clarifying that security and public confidence are not synonyms, particularly after states rewrote voting procedures under emergency authority while private actors poured hundreds of millions into local election administration.

He even cited the now well documented “Zuckerberg grants,” the $419 million channeled through the Center for Tech and Civic Life, a figure reported widely in 2021 and dissected in state legislatures thereafter. What had once been framed as “philanthropy” was now described, under duress of honesty, as asymmetrical infrastructure. Legal, perhaps. Neutral, not exactly.

Then the conversation pivoted to COVID.

Some political mistakes fade quietly into history, tucked away between polling cycles and rewritten talking points. But not all.

Others arrive dressed in prime-time lighting, broadcast in high definition, replayed endlessly while consultants stare at screens wondering how nobody saw it coming.

The Democrats’ reaction to President Donald Trump’s 2026 State of the Union belongs firmly in the second category.

Because this was not merely a bad night for the opposition party. It was not a messaging error, a tone problem, or an unfortunate collection of viral clips. It was a strategic catastrophe, the kind that reshapes political permission structures for years, possibly decades.

Democrats did not just oppose Trump, they publicly validated his central argument about them.

The Setup Everyone Saw Except Them

By the time Trump entered the House chamber, the script was already written, though only one side appeared to recognize it.

Trump version 2.0 is not the improvisational insurgent of 2016. This is a president who has learned the rhythms of power, the psychology of opponents, and most importantly, the media ecosystem that converts moments into narrative gravity.

Trump’s election win changed everything. The fact that Democrats couldn’t cheat enough to win was apocalyptic for them.

But good for America and the world. Look at how the world looks now. America is not the only country winning, as the Trump Doctrine has changed the way countries view things.

Companies are adjusting their immigration policies to that of America.

They are ridding themselves of radical Islam, with countries like Japan taking radical steps.

Trump gave the world permission to push back on NWO and other equally nonsensical stuff.

Trump’s SOTU wasn’t a message only to Americans, but to the world. Because the world was watching.

What do you get the man who has everything? Because politically, President Trump has it all.

That’s why this was the easiest SOTU for a president in the modern era.

Forget the media hype, and hyperventilating of Democrats. When you think of Democrats, remember that these are the people who happily cheated in a braindead moron over Trump version 1. And they would happily trade AOC for Trump version 2.

Yes, they are that crazy.

How many Democrats tried to make news saying, “I’m not going”. WHO CARES?!

Is it even possible to discuss Trump’s exploits in less than 2 hours? Nope.

Even in the little things, Trump won before the SOTU even happened.

Bannon got outed.

Tucker Carlson got outed. And his is by Conservatives.

And Scott Jennings explained another win.

NYC is already regretting Mamdani, and he will be a beacon for failure for Democrats.

Mamdani unveiled a $127 billion budget for fiscal year 2027 this week — a staggering $5 billion increase over the prior year.

But what's $5 billion between socialists, right?

To put that into perspective, Mamdani’s proposed budget is actually larger than the budgets of 47 U.S. states, including Florida, which has nearly twice the population. And somehow, it still isn't enough. The city is staring down a $5.4 billion deficit, with the real gap potentially closer to $12 billion when you do the actual math.

Consider the amount of waste and fraud is in that budget? The number of “learing” centers, and fake hospice facilities. The number of illegals on the public dole, the number of grifters…

Bannon, for very obvious reasons, worked feverishly to advance the narrative of “Steve Bannon, Political Genius.” Within the Trump White House, his media leaks became increasingly self-serving. Instead of leveraging media relations to elevate his boss or the MAGA mission, he sought to mythologize himself.

And then there is Tucker Carlson

We have the SOTU tonight, and that’s big. We will learn what we already know, and that’s GREAT news for us.

The US hockey team beat Canada in OT.

Game winning goal by a Jew! What?!

I secretly hoped the winning goal would be scored by a transexual Guatemalan midget!

But we are all Americans!

The mother of the kid who scored the winning goal is Ellen Hughes. Three of her sons play in the NHL. And she coaches the women’s team, I think.

What a legacy for that woman! She won’t be honored in the women’s movement because her sons LOVE AMERICA!

If they were anarchists who died ramming their cars into ICE officers, she’d be canonized.

President Trump addressed the hockey team, in what may be one of the most genuine celebrations ever

You heard me speak about President Trump and calls of racism the other day. He has pretty much burned Democrats’ race cards…
