Smell What the Trump Was Cookin’!

2 Januaries ago in America…

For those feeling like the nation is crumbling down around their ears right now… Here’s a little “positive” reality check: A list of positive changes that happened that affected Americans since January 20, 2025.

God has blessed America, & we have more winning to do still, so take your time and read all the way through this to appreciate a small snapshot of the good things happening in and for this country of ours.

🎬 Watch the Crawl

⚡ Economy & Energy

• Record U.S. LNG exports and energy abundance from private producers. 2025 saw over 100 million metric tons of American LNG shipped globally, lowering domestic energy costs and strengthening energy independence.
• Crypto regulatory clarity via the GENIUS Act.  Signed July 18, 2025, this pro-innovation stablecoin framework boosted U.S. financial leadership and market confidence for American investors and retirees.
• Energy production shattered records; first new U.S. oil refinery in ~50 years announced (Brownsville, TX); Ratepayer Protection Pledge signed with major tech/AI firms to keep household electricity costs stable.
• Broad tax relief via the One Big Beautiful Bill: No tax on tips/overtime, resulting in bigger tax refunds for millions of Americans.
• 2017 TCJA cuts made permanent + expansions, Trump Accounts for kids, work requirements for Medicaid/SNAP; native-born workers accounting for net job gains.
• 4.3% real GDP growth in Q3 2025.
• Inflation cooled to ~2.4% in early 2026, boosting real purchasing power and improving living standards for families, retirees, and fixed-income Americans.
• Real median wages and household incomes rose across multiple sectors, delivering tangible gains in financial security for millions of households.
• Record small-business formation and entrepreneurship rates continued, driving family wealth-building for tens of millions of Americans.
• Strong growth in household retirement savings and 401(k) balances from sustained market performance, boosting financial security for tens of millions of Americans.

🛂 Border & Immigration

• Illegal border crossings collapsed to historic lows with negative net migration (first in 50 years; apprehensions <10k/month; 2.5M+ removals/self-deportations per DHS; Laken Riley Act signed; zero releases at the border).

Sometimes we need to stop for a moment and soak that in order to understand the good that is being done in our lives…

⚖️ Courts & Justice

• FBI overhauled (agents removed from political roles under Director Kash Patel; 1,500+ DC staff redeployed to real crime-fighting); Antifa designated terrorists with funding probes.
• Violent crime/homicides dropped dramatically (largest one-year homicide decline on record; ~21% drop in major cities; rapes/robberies/aggravated assaults down too).
• 2020 election records seized/subpoenaed for investigations.
• Jan. 6 defendants received broad pardons/commutations (Day 1 action, expanded to cover related offenses).
• Multiple judicial victories curbed activist judges (SCOTUS limited nationwide injunctions, upheld key immigration/deportation and bureaucracy measures).
• Jan. 6 pipe-bomber caught and charged (Brian J. Cole Jr. arrested Dec 4, 2025).
• Gun death rates and firearm mortality and gun homicides dropping across major cities.

🔎 Government Accountability & Transparency

• JFK assassination records (plus RFK/MLK) fully declassified and released unredacted.  EO 14176 (Jan 23, 2025) led to the historic March 18, 2025, dump of ~80,000 pages, ending decades of secrecy and delivering maximum transparency to the American people.
• UFO/UAP/extraterrestrial files directed for release.  On February 20, 2026, President Trump ordered agencies to identify and release all relevant government files on aliens, extraterrestrial life, UAP, and UFOs; the process is underway, with the public archive at war.gov/ufo.
• Mass fraud uncovered in states like Minnesota, California, and elsewhere, triggering nationwide probes, funding cuts, and prosecutions in Medicaid, SNAP, and other programs.
• More states releasing voter-roll data for purges of ineligible voters and cross-checks against social-program fraud.
• Social Security cleaned up millions of impossibly old records and fraudulent SSNs, protecting solvency.
• DOGE purged bureaucratic duplications (per DOGE: 260,000+ positions cut, $215B+ in claimed savings, including the $9B rescissions package); USAID dismantled with corruption exposed.
• Mass release of Epstein files (~3.5M pages, videos, images released).

🌎 Foreign Policy & Strength

• Nicolás Maduro captured and in U.S. custody (Jan 3, 2026 raid).
• Foreign policy delivered strength: Middle East nations joining anti-Iran efforts; Operation Epic Fury eliminated Supreme Leader Khamenei and key IRGC/nuclear leaders; multiple ceasefires/peace deals (including Gaza); cartels designated terrorists.

They have no option but to lie, because the truth buries them in victories for America.

🚀 Tech & Innovation

• SpaceX shatters world record with 165 successful orbital launches in 2025.  Elon Musk’s company achieved the safest, most prolific year in spaceflight history: more than half of all global launches, with near-perfect reliability and massive Starlink expansion benefiting rural and underserved Americans.
• Massive private-sector AI and manufacturing investment boom.  Trillions in announced private capital poured into U.S. data centers, chip fabs, and advanced manufacturing in 2025–2026, creating high-skill jobs and solidifying American tech dominance.
• Tesla Full Self-Driving (FSD Supervised) posts what Tesla calls the safest automobile transportation in history (8+ billion miles, collision rate 8–9× safer than human drivers, per Tesla’s data).
• High-speed broadband access kept expanding across U.S. households.

Winning with Trump is fast and furious.
