Good morning, patriots! Thereās something timeless about putting pen to paperāand Georgia is bringing that back. Starting this fall, all third through fifth graders will once again be taught cursive writing, thanks to an update in the stateās English Language Arts curriculum. As someone who just missed the cut, I canāt help but feel a little envious. Maybe you learned itāmaybe you didnāt. But hereās a question worth asking: Shouldnāt we be teaching our kids to write like Americans again?

Trump Strikes Historic Deal With Japan

President Trump is once again proving that no one negotiates like he does.
On Monday night, Trump announced a āmassiveā trade deal with Japan that could pump $550 billion into the U.S. economy. Speaking at a White House reception, Trump called it the ālargest trade deal in historyā, and the numbers back him up. The deal slashes tariffs, opens Japanese markets to American goods, and solidifies Americaās leverage on the global stage.
The agreement cuts Japanās tariff on U.S. importsāfrom 25% to 15%āwhile also expanding access to critical markets for American-made cars and rice. In return, the U.S. will ease tariffs on Japanese auto exports, which make up over a quarter of Japanās sales to America. Itās a major win for farmers, manufacturers, and working-class families.
Japan, the fourth-largest U.S. trading partner, joins a growing list of countries forced to negotiate on Americaās terms, not the globalist status quo. Trumpās tough approachālong criticized by the media and political elitesāis now producing real results.
āI just signed the largest trade deal in history ā I think maybe the largest deal in history ā with Japan,ā Trump told Republican lawmakers. And heās not wrong.
Do You Trust Trump Negotiating Tariffs?
š Why it matters: While Bidenās team waffles on tariffs and appeases China, Trump is using strength to secure prosperity. This deal is a reminder of what bold leadership looks likeāand why it pays to trust Trump at the negotiating table.

Colorado Sues Deputy for Helping ICE

The state of Colorado just sent a chilling message to law enforcement: if you help enforce immigration law, weāll come after you.
Deputy Alexander Zwinck of the Mesa County Sheriffās Office is now the target of a lawsuit filed by Democrat Attorney General Phil Weiser, who claims Zwinck violated state law by cooperating with federal immigration agents. His āoffenseā? Sharing information that helped ICE detain a 19-year-old nursing student who overstayed her visa.
According to the suit, Zwinck allegedly passed along the studentās driverās license, registration, and insurance in a Signal chat with a regional drug task force that included Homeland Security agents. She was not accused of any crimeāshe simply shouldnāt have been in the country. Instead of applauding the deputy for flagging a visa violator, Colorado is treating him like a criminal.
āWe donāt do the work of the federal government,ā AG Weiser declared, defending the stateās so-called sanctuary policy. Zwinck has now been placed on paid leave while his department conducts an internal investigation.
But hereās the kicker: while Colorado punishes its own deputy, the DOJ is suing the state and the city of Denver over their efforts to block immigration enforcement. Sanctuary policies have become a legal shield for illegal immigrantsāand now a legal weapon against those who enforce the law.
š Why it matters: This case is bigger than one deputy. Itās about whether states can criminalize cooperation with federal immigration officials. Colorado is siding with visa violators over the men and women in uniform. If that sounds backwardāitās because it is.
QUICK HITS
š Cuomo, Mamdani Tied in NYC Race
A new poll shows Andrew Cuomo and Zohran Mamdani neck-and-neck in a two-way matchup for New York City mayor. Cuomo, the scandal-plagued former governor, holds a razor-thin lead within the margin of error. Mamdani, a far-left progressive, would become the most radical figure ever to lead NYC. Democrats are facing a civil war between the old guard and socialist insurgents.šµļø Trump Targets Harvardās Visa Scheme
The Trump administration is investigating Harvard Universityās right to sponsor foreign visitors, citing potential abuse of the Exchange Visitor Program. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said the elite institution may no longer be eligible. This comes as part of Trumpās broader push to hold elite universities accountable for woke overreach and immigration loopholes.āļø Senate Backs Trump Court Pick
The Senate advanced Emil Bove, a former Trump attorney, toward confirmation for the 3rd Circuit Court of Appeals in a tight 50ā48 vote. While one GOP senator defected, Democrats failed to block the nomination. Bove currently works at the DOJ and is expected to bring a constitutional originalist perspective to the bench.š Trump Saves Afghan Interpreters
President Trump blocked the deportation of Afghan allies who helped U.S. forces, halting their transfer to Taliban custody. A deal with the UAE buys time for vetting and relocation to safer countries. Itās a strong signal of Trumpās continued support for veterans and those who stood by America, despite Bidenās failures in Afghanistan.š°ļø Kari Lake: VOA Bowed to Beijing
Kari Lake revealed that Voice of America executives held repeated meetings with Chinese officials who pressured them to push more favorable coverage of Beijing. The taxpayer-funded outlet reportedly tailored its tone to appease the CCP, raising concerns about foreign influence and compromised U.S. media. Another example of federal institutions putting America last.
