After 4 Dismal Years, America Renewed

As we celebrate the inauguration of President Trump and say goodbye to the destructive malaise of the Biden administration, I have great hope for America in 2025.

Here is my Wish List to Restore America — an America that exemplifies the foundational principles of the Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution, a government for the people and by the people, American exceptionalism, and patriotism:

An end to the massive bureaucratic chokehold on America; and the unleashing of free enterprise, entrepreneurship, innovation, American energy, and mineral mining that is critical to our economy.

Restoring, securing, and enforcing our borders, and defunding sanctuary states/cities/counties that harbor illegal immigrant criminals and refuse to collaborate with federal immigration enforcement; and reforming legal immigration including the Green Card system and H-1B Visa program.

Peace through strength — Restore and fortify our military.

Make the Trump Tax Cuts Permanent — lower tax rates lead to more growth, more investment, and more jobs.

Fiscally responsible, limited government. As Reagan said, “The problem is not that people are taxed too little, the problem is that government spends too much.”

Restoring meritocracy and eradicating racist, discriminatory, unconstitutional DEI in the government, the military, business, and education.

A Department of Justice that fights to protect free speech and religious liberty from the oppressive censorship agenda of the radical progressive left.

Ensure parents' right to educate and care for their children.

Establish Universal School Choice for all families regardless of income and an education system that provides our children the skills and knowledge to succeed in a competitive economy, not progressive indoctrination.

Ensure competitive fairness and safety for women in sports; no transgender women/men should be allowed to compete in women’s sports.

January 20, 2025 is the dawning of a renewed America. Much work is needed by the President and Congress after the dismal years of the Biden administration. Let’s celebrate January 20th and let’s get moving ever forward.
