Pèp ayisyen,

Dessalines te libere Ayiti, men kèk moun ki te bò kote l te trayi l epi touye l. Moun ki te sanble avè l, ki te pale menm lang avè l, men ki pa t gen menm prensip avè l. Se te trèt ki t ap chèche sèlman avantaj pèsonèl yo, e ki te plonje Ayiti nan plizyè jenerasyon soufrans ak mizè.

Trèt sa yo toujou egziste ann Ayiti. Yo pa eritye Dessalines, yo se eritye trèt ki te asasinen l yo e ki te detwi eritaj li. Genyen ki manm gang, gen lòt ki finanse gang yo oswa ki ba yo zam, e gen kèk ladan yo k ap fè tout sa yo kapab pou anpeche pèp ayisyen an jwenn libète li.

Wi, anpil etranje te piye Ayiti, men anpil Ayisyen te fè menm bagay la tou. Yo te kolabore ak etranje sa yo, sèvi ak zam yo, vann dwòg yo, kontwole teritwa pou yo, epi fè pèp la sibi soufrans moun pa menm ka imajine.

Èske nou panse etranje sa yo t ap kapab fè tout bagay sa yo san èd moun sa yo? Kiyès k ap lonje zam sou nou? Kiyès k ap touye moun nou renmen yo? Kiyès ki vòlè kay nou ak byen nou yo, si se pa menm kalite bandi trèt ak sa yo ki te trayi epi asasinen Dessalines?

Nou kapab ede nou bat yo, men nou pa anvayisè. Nou se moun ki gen kouraj menm jan ak nou. Fòk nou leve kanpe, reprann kontwòl kominote nou yo, epi mete moun k ap fè nou sibi tout doulè sa yo, tout soufrans sa yo, anba kontwòl nou.

N ap la menm bò kote nou. N ap ede nou reprann peyi nou anba men trèt ki trayi eritaj Dessalines yo.

Epi, finalman, Ayiti ap lib.

One of the things the data analysts on our side obsessed over was "composition"—whether the electorate looked close enough to 2024 for Republicans to win. And despite polls that showed a Democrat blowout, the data kept on telling us the same story: in some states turnout was merely OK, in other states it was downright amazing, and in no state was it catastrophic. There was a genuine sense of optimism on our team: our people were showing up.

So, I asked the smartest data guy I know, does that mean we're going to shock the world? "No," he told me. "We might do better than the polls suggest. But the data is telling us that a lot of Trump/Vance 2024 voters are pissed and planning to vote for the other guys. Our voters are turning out, but they may not vote for us."

Well, that looks prophetic now. Our voters did show up. In Florida, for example, the electorate was 9 points more Republican than Democrat, just a couple points worse than 2024. Undoubtedly there were places we could have done better on turnout. But the main problem is not turnout. The main problem is that many people who voted for Trump/Vance in 2024 voted for Democrats in 2026.

There will be a lot of infighting and arguing over what happened and why that is. One of the pollsters I really respect told me that our economic messaging wasn’t sharp enough down the stretch. I’m sure that’s true.

But the real reason we lost is obvious to almost everyone.

Another pollster—one of the smartest people I know in politics, told me yesterday we’d lose the generic ballot by 13 points. I felt negative going into Tuesday, but even I was shocked by this. In his polling, he saw that a lot of Trump 2024 voters were angry and planning to vote for Democrats. He asked those voters who had abandoned us what would cause them to come back on our team. The top four answers, accounting for nearly all of the responses were:

1) End the war
2) Focus on cost of living/inflation
3) Put America First
4) Change our relationship to Israel

Our voters showed up. And the above four reasons are why many of them voted for Democrats. This is according to a pollster who nailed the results. While many spent Monday attacking Rachel Campos Duffy for calling for a diplomatic resolution to the conflict, it turns out her political advice was sound. (She’s also a great person.)

In the next few months, there's going to be a lot of gaslighting. Expect to hear any number of establishment politicians say the solution to our woes is amnesty. I'm open to the idea that we should change enforcement—by focusing more on businesses that hire illegal labor, for instance. But anyone pushing amnesty is lying to you.

The reason we lost is the war. The president himself said so last night.

If you'd like to argue it was worth it, that losing the Senate for the next 6 years was worth it, then do so. Argue it was a worthwhile cost to pay. Agree or disagree, that's at least honest.

But everyone knows why we lost. And any honest conversation about where we go from here must start there.

I remain hopeful about our country. To the people who are pissed off and want to say, “I told you so”: you’re right, you did tell us so. Take that energy into electing Republicans who share your worldview. To the people who are just pissed at the results, you should be. Let’s take that anger and get back to the work of saving our country.

I think it would have been a good idea to pass the SAVE America Act.

[Vivek Ramaswamy @VivekGRamaswamy]

Here’s my list of Day 1 Executive Orders. They’ll be signed before midnight on January 11. Buckle up.

E.O. #1: Investigate local property tax spikes.
This executive order will direct the Department of Taxation, in consultation with the Auditor of State, to review changes in property taxes in every county, township, municipality, school district, and special district in Ohio, and surface how increased property taxes have been spent. Every jurisdiction that has seen an increase of over 100% in property taxes since 2020 will be subject to a full investigation into spending realities and needs.

E.O. #2: End sanctuary cities across Ohio.
This executive order will prohibit Ohio cities, townships, counties, or other local jurisdictions from adopting policies that would prevent or impede their law enforcement from cooperating with federal immigration authorities. Specifically, if a political subdivision does not honor detainer requests or share information as federal law allows, the local government will lose eligibility for state grants run by executive agencies, including public-safety and homeland-security grants, until it complies. The sanctuary city policy would also be referred for possible legal action.

E.O. #3: Stop new data center projects until comprehensive legislation is signed.
This executive order directs every state agency, board, and commission to pause action on any application, permit, incentive or approval for a new data center to give the General Assembly time to pass comprehensive data center legislation that includes my non-negotiable principles.

E.O. #4: Direct the Department of Medicaid to investigate waste, fraud, and abuse.
This order will direct the Department of Medicaid to apply for a Section 1115 waiver that caps Ohio's Medicaid spending, in line with Tennessee's original TennCare III waiver, which let the state keep up to 55 percent of federal savings when it spent below the cap. Under similar terms more of every dollar of fraud that Ohio stops would return to Ohio.

E.O. #5: Prioritize solving violent crimes to rapidly get criminals off our streets.
This executive order will direct the Departments of Public Safety and of Rehabilitation and Corrections to prioritize violent crime clearance rates in discretionary funding available to support local law enforcement. Tools including advanced forensic science will enable local law enforcement to increase the number of violent crimes solved from the current 34% level to aggressively eliminate violent criminality in Ohio cities.

E.O. #6: Comprehensively review all existing state contracts to root out wasteful spending.
This executive order will order a review of every executive-branch contract paid in-part or in-full from the General Revenue Fund. The Department of Administrative Services, working with the Office of Budget and Management, will review each contract's legal basis, necessity, performance, alternatives, and the cost of ending it versus continuing it, then recommend continuation or termination.

E.O. #7: Establish an inter-agency anti-fraud task force, with direct accountability to the Governor.
This executive order will establish an inter-agency task force, reporting directly to the Governor, focused on combating various forms of fraud including, but not limited to: Medicaid fraud, benefits fraud, and child care fraud; visa fraud; voter registration fraud; trucking fraud; foreign CDL licensure; and abuse of foreign hiring by public entities. The anti-fraud task force will consist of experts from across state government and the private sector and may include representatives from the Auditor of State, Secretary of State, and Attorney General.

Pèp ayisyen,

Nou prèske fin deplwaye sòlda nou yo ak ekipman nou yo sou tè Ayiti. Sa a se pa yon operasyon kont pèp ayisyen an, ni yon envazyon peyi Ayiti. Nou pa yon gwo pisans. Nou pa gen okenn enterè ni pou nou vin domine pèp ayisyen an, ni pou nou mete men sou richès Ayiti.

Nou se yon peyi modès k ap devlope. Sèl sa nou vle, se pou kat teknisyen avyasyon nou yo tounen lakay yo. Epi n ap bay gang yo yon leson, gang sa yo k ap fè pèp ayisyen an soufri, ki touye moun pèp la renmen yo, k ap anpeche l viv yon lavi nòmal, lib, san laperèz.

Se prèske nou menm sèl k ap peye pou operasyon sa a. Menmsi nou resevwa yon ti èd lojistik nan men kèk lòt peyi, se ak pwòp ti kès nou n ap kouvri 90% nan depans yo.

Sa koute nou chè, men nou te aprann nan pwòp soufrans nou: jistis ak lapè pa gen pri. Nou te pase nan menm soufrans Ayiti ap travèse jodi a. Nou te viv yon beny san ki te pi terib toujou pase sa pèp ayisyen an ap sibi kounye a. Nou konnen sa sa vle di: viv nan laperèz, pa fè politisyen konfyans, pa kwè okenn moun ki pwomèt l ap ede w. Paske pèsonn pa t vin ede nou, e moun ki te vini yo pa t gen bon entansyon nan kè yo.

Men nou te rive chape anba sa. Apre 200 lane soufrans, finalman n ap viv nan lapè, e jodi a nou se peyi ki gen plis sekirite sou kontinan an.

Nou pa vin ann Ayiti pou nou touche lajan, paske pèsonn pa peye nou pou sa. Nou vin ann Ayiti pou nou goumen kont mechan yo.

Men sa m ap mande nou: fè nou konfyans, lapriyè sèl vrè Bondye a, epi mande L pou L geri Ayiti.

“Lè sa a si pèp ki pote non m lan lapriyè nan pye m, si yo soumèt devan mwen, si yo pran chache m ankò, si yo vire do bay vye peche yo t'ap fè yo, m'ap tande yo nan syèl kote m ye a, m'ap padonnen peche yo, m'ap fè peyi a kanpe ankò.”

2 Kwonik 7:14

Ede nou ede Ayiti.

Epi lè misyon nou an fini, n ap tounen lakay nou. Petèt jenerasyon Ayisyen k ap vini yo ap sonje nou kòm zanmi ki te vin ede yon lè.

The biggest stories don’t always make the news. 🤔

Susan and I gave $6.25 billion to help 25 million American children build brighter futures.

These handwritten thank-you notes mean more than any headline ever could.

25 million children. 25 million futures. Endless possibilities. ❤️🇺🇸

I was never really into politics

I didn't want to be involved, I just wanted to live my life, watch my kids play and be left alone

But then you sorry PIECES of SHlT started tearing the fabric of the country that I love apart

You started sending men into the bathroom my daughter used and telling my kids men can be women

That's unacceptable

Now you motherfckers have called down the thunder and there are MILLIONS of patriots like me that are here for it!!

[The White House @WhiteHouse]

Every single Democrat in Congress voted against President Trump’s historic tax cuts, including No Tax on Tips.

They voted against Voter I.D. They voted against Proof of Citizenship. They voted AGAINST securing our borders.

They vote against the American people.

[MICHAEL Murdock 🇺🇸🇮🇹 @docmurdock]

Today I finally understood something about Donald Trump that I had been missing this entire time. And when it hit me — it hit me completely. Because, look at who this man chose to surround himself with.
Not billionaires.
Not people born into power.
Not people who had everything handed to them.

Karoline Leavitt — 27 years old. Ice cream shop girl from New Hampshire.
Trump looked at her and saw something the entire world missed.
Made her the youngest Press Secretary in American history.

Susie Wiles — a woman who has spent her whole life quietly strategizing from the background.
No fame. No spotlight. Just pure brilliance.
Trump looked at her and said — you will be my Chief of Staff. First female Chief of Staff in American history.

JD Vance — a soldier. A boy from Appalachia who served his country in uniform before he ever served it in office.
Trump looked at him and said — you will stand beside me.

Pete Hegseth — a soldier who gave everything on the battlefield. Two Bronze Stars.
Trump looked at him and said — you will lead our military.

Marco Rubio — the son of a bartender and a hotel maid. Two immigrants who came to America with nothing.
Trump looked at their son and made him the first Latino Secretary of State in American history.

Do you understand what Trump actually did?
He did not build a powerful administration.
He built an unbreakable one."

Because every single person in it knows what it feels like to have nothing. And people who came from nothing never take anything for granted.

Tonight, say one prayer for this entire administration. And say a bigger one for the man who chose them.

Then pass this to every American who needs to understand why this administration hits different from every single one that came before it."🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Republicans want to
1) keep our borders closed
2) keep our people safe from drugs and bad illegal aliens
3) support the family
4) protect our Christian rights
5) support women in their sports
6) save our nation!!!!
🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸Please get out and vote
Republican!!! We are NOT perfect by any means, but we want the best for everyone in our State and Nation!!!!🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Kid Rock says supporting President Trump cost him every corporate deal and shut the door on late-night television appearances, but he has no regrets.

The musician tells Fox News Digital that publicly backing Trump came with a price in the entertainment industry, claiming companies pulled away and invitations to late-night shows disappeared.

Still, Kid Rock says he wouldn't trade his freedom to speak his mind for Hollywood's approval.

See why he says the career consequences haven't changed his position: https://t.co/mNw7aDJFIB
