“On the year of our nation’s 250th birthday, President Trump offered a bold vision for an America that is growing stronger and safer every day. His speech correctly pointed out the facts on how our America First policies are delivering results: taxes and prices are down, private sector job growth and wages are up, mortgage rates are at the lowest rate in 4 years, fentanyl trafficking is down 56% and the border is secure, with zero illegal crossings last month. Our peace through strength mantra has made every citizen of the world safer. His speech was filled with pride and optimism for our country, honoring our heroes and celebrating our wins, while acknowledging the steep price of freedom and the work ahead.
“I have long supported many of the policies the President is looking to tackle next, such as stock trading bans for members of Congress, cracking down on corporations buying up housing stock and implementing voter ID. These are common sense policies that further our efforts to return our country to the hands of the people, where it belongs.
“We have a lot more work to do to restore America’s greatness, but the progress is undeniable, the path is clear, and we are resolute in our mission.”
It was a tremendous honor to meet a true American hero, USNavy Captain Royce Williams, who received the Medal of Honor during last night’s SOTU address. His bravery and heroic actions in 1952 shooting down 4 Soviet MiGs during a 35 minute dogfight is an aerial feat never achieved previously or since.
He celebrated his 100th birthday this year and is the oldest recipient to ever wear the medal. God bless him & the USA!
