It’s called ranked choice voting, and if you haven’t yet heard of it, you need to know what it is and how it works so you can reject it if your state or city start talking about adopting it. (Ranked choice voting will be in effect in NYC for the June 24, 2025 Primary Election.)
American Sovereignty First
By Francis O’Hara
The introduction of tariffs came not a moment too soon—America was teetering on the edge of no return. Our superpower status, once unshakable, was unraveling before our very eyes. Yet the full extent of the nation’s decline remained obscured—until President Donald J. Trump stepped forward.
On the rally stage, with unwavering conviction, he warned the American people: if elected again, he would take bold, uncompromising action to restore this nation to its former greatness. His plan was clear—shut the border, halt the unprecedented surge of illegal immigration, and put American sovereignty first.
Within just one week of his return to the office, the border was sealed. Despite fierce resistance from Democrats and activist judges, deportations of criminal aliens began in earnest. Federal funding was stripped from Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) programs across educational institutions, signaling a shift toward merit and accountability.
The Art of the Tariff
By Laura Schmitt
Trump is the mastermind of “The Art of the Deal.” Through that lens, his unprecedented use of tariffs is genius. Those in the business of selling panic, aka “Panicans,” claim an “unhinged” Trump is provoking trade wars, economic depression, chaos, and possible actual war. Reality is quite the opposite.
Trump, a Wharton School of Finance graduate and an experienced student of the “school of life,” has spent the last 4 years contemplating the implementation of his long-talked-about tariffs. His tariffs are what 79 million Americans voted for. The pandemic underscored the vulnerability of an America dependent on adversaries for its PPE, pharmaceuticals, computer chips, rare earth minerals, and steel needed for military equipment. Giving China monopolies over needed goods gives them leverage to hold us hostage. At one point, China toyed with cutting off our medicines. Returning manufacturing to America is a national security necessity.
My January 6 Story: Still Seeking Answers
I am a lifelong resident of Queens, NY—President Trump’s hometown. I graduated from Christ the King High School and earned a BA in Studio Art from Marymount Manhattan College. In 1992, I began a nine-year career as an NYPD Police Officer, retiring as a 9/11 First Responder. I’m a proud mother to my 21-year-old son and share my home with a beloved German Shepherd.
I’m passionate about art, volunteering to teach classes at a local public school and hosting an annual 9/11 Art Memorial. I’ve also contributed to my community by caring for the elderly, teaching religious education, and tending horses at a local stable.
Politically, I helped unseat Anthony Weiner by volunteering for Congressman Bob Turner’s campaign but stepped back after witnessing local corruption. Before January 6, 2021, I was working on an art project, still in progress.
