Excellent article. Imo whatever your feelings towards jews/israel its time to cut off the JQers and adjacent. Every influencer i see that follows this path ends up going insane/becoming a backstabber/third worldist. Tucker being example #1. Oh hes interviewing cenk now? Thats great...
Great point, and I still cannot wrap my head around the mental breakdowns so many prominent RW influencers have had in the last 12 months, its inexplicable.
Yea its ridiculous. Like fine i get and agree with questioning US financial support of israel but they always use it as an excuse to slide into 3rd worldist pro islamic/anti trump slop. Tucker, Owens, Kelly, massie etc, all being examples.
Great distillation of the first year of Trump 2. I couldn’t agree more that we need to shun these insane “influencer” accounts that are doing damage to our movement for clicks.
Although his viewership after he was fired from FOX was impressive and showcased the vitality of the alternative media, his firing ultimately succeeded in marginalizing him (or rather in getting him to marginalize himself). Turns out Tucker having to self-censor at FOX was probably for the best. On his own, he is as poor a judge of character as he is of ideas. What is that old proverb about having a mind so open that your brain falls out? Were he still doing his old shtick at FOX of staring dumbfoundedly at libs or neocons as they convict themselves out of their own mouths, we would all be in a much better position than we are now.
I remember someone on Twitter saying how JQ obsessives tend to not have a broader understanding of the 'jungle'. All of the peoples of the world all have their interests and differences, Jews are just another one in the jungle who has been able to leverage more power. This is the kind of problem that leads to 'right wing' JQ obsessives saying how everyone on the right "MUST FIGHT FOR PALESTINE!"
Even when it comes to the failures of the Trump administration, I cant help but see the practical side of his more questionable decisions. Similar to his strategic silence on abortion, I see his lax stance on vice as a way to not antagonize single issue voters (feminists and barstool americans respectively) over issues which are secondary to the do-or-die policies of immigration, the economy, defense and revitalizing American culture. I personally feel that the by product of 11 more years of deportations, opportunity, family first policies, and cultural revival is a society where Americans don't feel the need to smoke, gamble, or abort their way into an identity, despite my inclination that these things be tackled now. The president is smarter than me! Many such cases.
I'm glad you started on the vice issues with Trump. It's an enigma. He personally doesn't drink or do drugs. He even has the legacy of his older brother Fred Trump, Jr. who died at age 42 from complications of alcoholism. You would think he would be vehemently against it or at least not looking for new avenues of expansion. But Trump made his money in real estate of NY and the casino industry of Atlantic City. Both are flush with drugs and "deal making." While a professed Christian, he does not have that religious zeal that really needs to launch leaders against the myriad forces of vice. All our cities and now suburbs reek of weed and vapes bought from corner stores owned by Pakistanis or Indians who get their funds from small business government loans. Quality of life would improve astronomically if he would fight against normalization of drugs and gambling (particularly online). I fear that online gambling is going to ruin countless people who were primed at an early age to consider anything with a screen to be a harmless game. They don't really internalize the fact that they're playing with real money.
But God bless our Dear President. I support him 100% and grateful for all his sacrifices on our behalf. I hope he can see the light and push hard against drugs and gambling. Thanks for putting in the time to make this article. It's very important to look back with clarity on the successes and setbacks.
Perhaps not all readers will agree, but the most important failing of the first year is the President's inability to follow through on using his position, if only through a consistent demonstration of personal piety, to communicate with sincerity that he believes America to be a Christian country. There seemed to be an opportunity, right at the moment of his inauguration, with that beautiful rendition of the Battle Hymn of the Republic echoing in the Capitol, for him and for America to truly embark upon a path of redemption. Without this, a national rebirth is impossible. Without this, even a stabilization of domestic politics and establishment of a durable multi-polar order may not be achievable.
More Americans than ever are not just not Christians, but are "nones," so I do not see how him trying to lead a religious revival would be anything but divisive. The pre-Trump Republican Party tried this strategy with far more pious figures and ended up losing the culture.
The Influencer Right showed their uselessness when they took the first America Fest after Charlie Kirk’s death and made it solely about themselves and their gay little cat fights. Just awful.
This is better than every article published in a "mainstream" source in the last 20 years. Excellent job. The tide has definitely shifted and a lot of people don't know how to adjust. Some people are so unfamiliar with winning that they automatically assume they lost even as they get everything they could have asked for and more. Sad. I hope we can adjust to the new normal in 2026 in and get back to living good lives.
Excellent article, and thank you for leaving your twitter up for longer than usual, its so consistently reliable compared to the sea of trash rw content we are inundated with now.
Based world declarations that Trump/JD need to publicly drive:
- 30M deportations
- Indian Tech purges
- Libtard judge purges
- Man on Mars by xx / xx
- Greenland annexation done gently
- Panama Canal reclaimed
Seems to be no clear vision or big goals or any real accountability taken over the deportation feet dragging. Let’s hope the next 12 months are better.
I would really like a pivot to domestic concerns somewhat beyond immigration. I trust in trump to more thoroughly end the homeless schizo crisis competently and truly humanely unlike the left. Federally fixing the justice and police systems particularly in large metros to more better serve the law abiding tax payer (i live in one) with the end goal of beautifying and securing our cities. Giving the youth and older millenials passed over opportunities and advancement so they have a stake as MG said. Beyond that trump is a man of history and by all rights should do historical things: bringing humanity to mars/the moon again, increasing our territory, ending generational thorns like cuba and iran competently and smartly.
Not much more to add here then thank you for your contributions to this space, it has helped me greatly in the last few years to not fall into instability. I would gladly pay taxes if it meant the admin uses it to become paid subscribers...
Trump fundamentally doesn’t care too much about containing people’s vices, and I believe that stuff like OF and weed and tattoos are just a symptom of overall people feeling disconnected from society rather than those being the root cause of antisocial behavior. Trump won the popular vote off the backs of a lot of Fanduel Americans as Greer puts it and he doesn’t want to rock that boat. If we can build a proper society and social cohesion again I think these vices would melt away with that.
As for the Pardons, I mostly don’t care about who gets pardoned because there have been some absurd pardons in the past especially in their final days but Trump Pardoning the Nikola EV guy was not just questionable it was absurd and then Tucker interviewed him and just agreed with everything he said about how evil Short sellers were the true villains in his case. I think Trump has just lost so much faith in the legal system from his own cases that he just listens to whoever his Pardon Attorney tells him to Pardon.
Overall though panicans are gay retards and Trump has been wildly successful in almost every front
You’re right about the fireside chats. Vance’s ability to embrace the meme. Rubio is sorta cool with football . They recently did a 5 minute video with hesgeth and something like the 8a federal contracting rule for the military (not the point). It was really well done, and informative of winning. +Humanizes our guys who are in fact likeable and normal

Imagine if heritage publication say National Review were this clear eyed and not massively brainraeped by the last decade.
Counter proposal: we all continue to "name them" until victory just kinda happens. Also we all vote for Gavin Newsom for being conventionally handsome

Excellent essay. Well done Mr. Grove.
I will be sad the day your Twitter @ is no longer around, but I know it will mean we escaped once and for all.
(PS Could you post the videos of the Civil War songs being sung in Japanese? I always like those.)
A bunch of these

One of the best articles I’ve read in years man. Bravo.
This was really great, nice job. A much needed detox from some of the absolute retardation that has been normalized.
Welp *gulps* so THAT just happened 😅
This one’s going straight to Good Night Chat.
Glad to have some positive sane discourse of late. Too many people are invested in turning outright victories into grand betrayals. It’s okay to win.
