President Trump’s supporters have been frustrated with lawfare 2.0. Left-wing lawyers slowed his agenda by finding federal judges to impose nationwide injunctions against Trump’s executive orders.

That ended with the close of this term. Although the Supreme Court didn’t rule on the merits of the Trump order on birthright citizenship, Justice Amy Coney Barrett, writing for a 6-3 majority, ruled that injunctions should focus on relief only for the specific plaintiffs at hand.

The majority opinion also took aim at Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson’s dissent in unusually pointed language.

In the past, those on both sides of the aisle have hailed the use of nationwide injunctions. But their overuse in the Trump era has led to the Court’s timely reminder: just as America can’t have an imperial presidency, it cannot have an imperial judiciary, either.

The great political scientist Harry Jaffa wrote on our bicentennial: In 1776 the United States was nothing, promising to become everything; having become everything, it now promises to become nothing. This is even truer today, on the cusp of our 250th anniversary.

A new Gallup poll reveals a record-low percentage of Americans proud of America, dragged down by our youth and only 36 percent of Democrats being proud of America. This was all foreseeable. For years, our schools have taught that America was a blight on the world, not a blessing. And American history is our high school seniors’ worst subject.

Thus, our high school graduates enter adulthood by the millions, every year, alien to a country they don’t know or were taught to dislike. As C.S. Lewis put it: “by starving the sensibility of our pupils we only make them easier prey to the propagandist when he comes.”

Ronald Reagan’s farewell address called on us to teach patriotism again, informed patriotism. Now, more than ever, this holiday is the time to take up that challenge.

The nation goes into this fourth of July holiday weekend at pivotal period of our nation’s history.

Next year we’ll be marking 250 years of independence … our "semiquincentennial." Quite an achievement and a word —quite an experiment in democracy it has been.

As we mark this day, I don’t need to remind you—but it still bears stating: Our nation is deeply divided; often bitterly so divided; and with a number of examples we could point to, sometimes violently divided.

And yet I still resonate with the words of Abraham Lincoln—spoken a month before he issued the Emancipation Proclamation.

The occasion is piled high with difficulty, and we must rise -- with the occasion. As our case is new, so we must think anew, and act anew. We must disenthrall ourselves, and then we shall save our country…. We shall nobly save, or meanly lose, the last best hope of earth.

I still believe it.

Have a great 4th. And may God bless America— “the last, best hope.”

Seven B-2 bombers dropped at least a dozen Massive Ordinance Penetrators on to Iran’s nuclear weapons faculty at Fordow, but since the mountain didn’t explode like the Death Star in Star Wars, the mission was deemed a disappointment by some in legacy media and many online keyboard warriors.

"Minimal damage causing a month or two delay": That’s a summary, "take" of journalists who suffer from JCPOA separation anxiety disorder.

In fact: What Trump ordered done was a history-altering event, was a war-ending blow. Iran’s leaders now know they are no longer feared in the Middle East as a dominant power, and that if even token gestures are taken by it to hurt Americans or Israelis, or to resume forbidden nuclear weapons development, retribution will be swift.

President Trump is sending the same message again and again: "Don’t harm one American. Don’t even think about restarting the nuke program."

Every leader in the world got the same message as did the mullahs: Trump and the prudent use of American military force are back.

President Trump’s approval rating soaring above 50%, with polls like Rasmussen showing it at 53%. His handling of illegal immigration, even more impressive at 54% approval.

And then there’s his handling of the Iran nuclear threat—90 percent of Trump voters support him.

Despite the relentless negativity from the legacy media, it’s no mystery why his numbers are high: Trump’s been winning on illegal immigration since 2016, and Americans are thrilled with his efforts. They don’t want it —period. They reject the associated crime costs, and the Democrat spin masquerading as compassion.

Starting back in 2016, voters made a deal: they promised to support Trump if he’d close the border and clean up the immigration mess.

Well, he’s delivered on that promise.

This is how politics should function: a candidate promises to deliver what the people want, follows through … earns their trust. No cynicism; no regrets; just results.

Americans support a leader who prioritizes their interests.

There are a handful of phrases from the national security crises of the past 50 years that stand out.

President Donald Trump has now added his signature line to that list.

For the sake of brevity, I’ll just note Mr. Reagan in 1987 saying, "Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!"

George W. Bush in 2001: "I can hear you! The rest of the world hears you. And the people who knocked these buildings down will hear all of us soon."

Now President Trump has his quote:

"They should have done the deal."

That’s what President Trump told reporters on Air Force One on June 17.

Even if Donald Trump had not returned to the Oval Office in 2025, the Abraham Accords from his first term would have matched any diplomatic achievement of the post World War II era. But the devastation of Iran’s nuclear weapons production facilities has changed not just American history but quite obviously world history as well.

Thank you, Mr. President.
