The main thing I learned in 2025 about Democratic politicians was the display of their brazen stupidity which went way beyond my imagination. They are mostly all clowns as I see them. Anyone that voted for these nutcases must be ashamed. Well, I should hope so for those that put these useless people in office. The so-called "Greatest Country in the World" and this is what we get. Geez!! May the Dems never see the light and eventually be flushed out of DC. Looking forward to a different 2026. Happy New Year, Republicans!
Agree 100%. Let’s pray that the Dems do not flip the house in the midterms. If they do it will be a chain of impeachments, investigations and general obstruction of the Trump agenda.
In 2025 the American public learned that being “Democrat” is not only a political party preference, but a psychiatric diagnosis as well. Or so it would seem! Yes, the activities and behavior from folks on the left seems more like from the comic strip “Bizarro,” than reality. Men playing in women’s sports, turning “climate change” into a religious faith, letting our cities burn to the ground because of empty reservoirs, defending of illegal immigrants and dangerous criminals and bankrupting our social services and then being told to look the other way, “nothing to see here,” all rounding out the insanity of lefty world over the past year!
Yes, 2025 earmarks the year Dems went from the party of JFK, FDR and LBJ to the party of “Democratic Socialism,” leading the way with AOC, Jazzy Crockett and Zohran Mamdani as their standard barriers. How bizarre, should be an interesting year in 26’.
Yep, on the local front, being told by Salud, Monique, Laura and Oscar that failing schools, unaffordable housing, illegal immigration and going broke isn’t the real problem, no, the real problem is Donald J. Trump.
Che Guevara and Fidel Castro must be somewhere lighting a cigar and popping the cork!
Happy New Year everyone, here’s to keeping them honest, guessing, and on their heels!
Thanks Henry. You have again summed things up pretty well. I used to watch the events happening around me with shock and awe but at the tender age of 75, I now watch more with amusement. I have the "What will happen next?" along with the "are ya kidding me?" and the sarcastic "who could have predicted this?" kind of attitude now. I have to have this position because who could ever take all of this seriously. Happy New Year!!!!
broad tariffs (+$200 billion by year-end), core inflation around 2.1%, hundreds of thousands of net new jobs (+ strong blue-collar wage growth), pledges of trillions in domestic investments, “One Big Beautiful Bill,” major tax and spending package, deregulation savings of hundreds of billions for families and businesses, aggressive tariffs on global partners (leading to negotiations, temporary pauses, and deals), facilitated ceasefires and resolutions in multiple conflicts, including India-Pakistan, Israel-Iran, Rwanda-DRC, and pathways in Syria and the Middle East, issued record number of executive orders (over 225), memoranda, and proclamations, reshaping US to America First, reduced federal workforce significantly via DOGE, closed the border + large scale deportation, focusing on the worst of the worst…
the list goes on and on…Whew, times flies when we’re having fun!
Happy New Year! The best is yet to come, it’s gonna be biblical!
Trump is not reshaping the US to America first. He attacked Venezuela and threatened to "knock the hell " out of Iran. And did so arm and arm with Bibi.
Hmmm…yes, Trump is taking out the narco terrorist that run the country known as Venezuela…look for Columbia next. And yes, he did knock the hell out of Iran, but not with the assistance of Bibi. Instead, he took away BBs last card, the ability to scream, “Iran is going to kill us”, all while Bibi had his armies attacking its neighbors. The people are now in the streets in Iran, they are one step away from freedom and throwing off the Mullahs (FYI, Trump took control, leverage over Iran, a few years back). And, now he’s got Bibi cornered. America First!
For real? So you support Trump attacking both Venezuela and Iran, as well as his bromance with Bibi, but end your comment with "America First! Peace is The Prize!" ?? Who are we to take out democratically elected leaders in other countries, which has been our shameful foreign policy for decades, and why is this so-called "America First" page supporting this?
The leaders in both Venezuela and Iran were not democratically elected… I know it’s hard to see the big picture, there are many moving pieces to the puzzle. Bear in mind, that all countries have been captured by this evil scourge, which has enveloped the world. This is the final battle, World War III. All roads lead to the Khazarians…Peace is The Prize
Why does the left continuously support all those who are out to kill Americans? What is the motivation? As the average person we're not privy to all the world information. But China, Iran, likely Russia and who knows, North Korea are deeply entrenched in Venezuela. Some for the drugs, most for the oil. Maduro is their puppet and they can't afford to to have him ousted. He's their security blanket and runs front for their corrupt operations in that country. And it's not the only country. While liberals waste energy about Trump's medical capacity, evil empires are taking over South America. Liberals in America are so focused on stupid things like marches and singing songs and have no clue how dangerous the world had become under Biden. Trump has to use force and stand his ground and show he means business. Not draw some fake line in the sand. Peace through strength is the only thing insane lunatics understand.
Henry, Get your head out of your ass with this partisan garbage. All I see from you on here is "the left" "the left" "liberals" "liberals." It's getting tiresome. I never mentioned anything in my comment about political party. At least DL can have a debate/discussion without shutting it down by calling "liberal."
"Why does the left continuously support all those who are out to kill Americans?" How stupid is this starter to your comment?
Agreed… everybody wants Venezuela’s oil. But with Trump, it’s more about taking out the narco terrorist and provide freedom for the people. Just one of the many fronts in this worldwide war.
Maduro is not a "khazarian"...how was he not elected and even if he wasn't who are we to take him out? You're saying peace is the prize, but advocating for WW3?
Correct LAngel, Maduro is not at Kazarian. He’s just one of their many puppets. We are already in World War II, it’s a silent war that is not a traditional nation state war…It’s Team Trump (USA) aligned with dozens of countries across the (key leaders + their military intelligence & fire power) against the deep state. Have you reach the point of understanding that there is a hidden government that runs the USA & the world (a.k.a. deep state)?
Perfect Henry! Nothing else could define a demonic, satanic, negative, morally bankrupt party like the DEMONCRATIC PARTY like you have. Why are these morally bankrupt people (Demoncrats) breathing our air?
Thank you for writing. I think 2025 has been interesting as the President takes hold of our country correcting the mismanagement of the prior Biden Harris administration. I also think that our woes are nothing compared to Israel and Ukraine continual attacks. Worrying about fraud or socialism is nothing when a city is being missiled randomly with no end in sight.
"I also think that our woes are nothing compared to Israel and Ukraine continual attacks." You mean the attacks that Trump and his team, and our congress has been funding with our money?
Prayers go out for a better 2026. May the Republicans prevail in the midterms and continue to roll back the destructive policies of the Democratic machine. I’ll say for the final time (of 2025), let’s start with taking our children back by doing a way with teachers unions nationwide! Bring some sanity back to teaching and let/ make our kids be kids again. No phones of any kind in school. Armed officers and teachers (optional) of course. Implement school choice with equal distributions for all children and eliminate property taxes for seniors over 65 living in their own homes.
President Trump is the most consequential President in our life time. Well unless you are one of the election losers. To real Americans though he and Elon literally saved our country. And it has not even been one year yet. So much good!!
Thank you for writing Henry. Keep it up. The past has been quite a ride. The future will be one too. It has been said that the "journey is the reward."
I have a continual conversation with a fellow about Trump.
Pointing out obvious issues of inflation, growing government that fails (did someone mention Washington D.C, and a failed border?). When I make the point that many of the improvements came in less then a year and the other side cannot understand their generational mistakes are defeated by a Capitalist the response is, uh hummmmm.
The passage of time is the final judgement. Looking in the rear-view mirror too often is the ouch factor. Capitalism....really? That often is the comment of my friend.
Henry, this is nicely written and I enjoyed the reference to Proust. But would you care to substantiate the”Democratic cheating machine”and “rigged elections”. This is poisoning the well before any future Democratic wins and these are very serious charges that deserve a bit of substantition on your part.
Morning Jay. That's a column for another time and I like the idea. As we get closer toward the midterms, it may warrant a list of the shenanigans that have gone on and what we can expect. I'm sure you're aware of some of them. Like the Somali's in Minnesota can go to election location the day of and "vouch" for up to eight people. No ID. No address confirmation. No oversight. And likely many are not even American citizens. Try that in Russia. Or anywhere else in the world for that matter. Stay tuned.
The main thing I learned in 2025 about Democratic politicians was the display of their brazen stupidity which went way beyond my imagination. They are mostly all clowns as I see them.

The Commie-Dems _will_ flip the House this year. How do I know?
a) Most people are stupid
b) Most people vote Democrat
What more empirical evidence do ya need?

I was going to say, "Well said" or "Beautifully written", but that would be an understatement.

Perfect Henry! Nothing else could define a demonic, satanic, negative, morally bankrupt party like the DEMONCRATIC PARTY like you have. Why are these morally bankrupt people (Demoncrats) breathing our air?
Thank you for sharing your thoughts.
The progressive liberal Democrats are so enraged that they can no longer hide their support of everything Evil to bring down America.
Thank you for writing. I think 2025 has been interesting as the President takes hold of our country correcting the mismanagement of the prior Biden Harris administration. I also think that our woes are nothing compared to Israel and Ukraine continual attacks. Worrying about fraud or socialism is nothing when a city is being missiled randomly with no end in sight.
I hope that we and they have a better New Year!
"I also think that our woes are nothing compared to Israel and Ukraine continual attacks." You mean the attacks that Trump and his team, and our congress has been funding with our money?
Another cogent article by Henry Schulte! My thoughts exactly.
Prayers go out for a better 2026. May the Republicans prevail in the midterms and continue to roll back the destructive policies of the Democratic machine. I’ll say for the final time (of 2025), let’s start with taking our children back by doing a way with teachers unions nationwide!

Thank you for writing Henry. Keep it up. The past has been quite a ride. The future will be one too. It has been said that the "journey is the reward."
Could not agree more with your recollection of what happened and where we are now. Thanks for the year end note.
You have a knack for sage observation...and with this "Fasten your seatbelts, 2026 is going to be a doozy." you warn us to keep looking up 😊 Blessings

I'd be interested in that substantiation as well. I've heard 'cheating' and 'rigged' all the time. If there is any, it should be cleaned up.
