It’s time to recognize what time it is. In 2024, President Trump fell 5% short in Virginia, a state that elected a Republican governor just a few years ago. This week, following the lead of Virginia’s new radical left-wing governor, the state narrowly voted to redraw its congressional districts—turning a map that favored Democrats 6–5 into one that could leave only a single Republican representing the state in Congress.
This is one of the most blatant displays of raw political power I’ve ever seen. Unfortunately, it’s not surprising. It comes from the same party that spent four years during the Biden administration jailing its political opponents, persecuting pro-life activists, and using every lever of the federal government to impose its radical ideology on the country.
What time is it? It’s the time Ronald Reagan warned us about when he said, “Freedom is a fragile thing, and it’s never more than one generation away from extinction. It is not ours by way of inheritance; it must be fought for and defended constantly by each generation, for it comes only once to a people.”
We’ve seen where left-wing totalitarianism leads, and it isn’t pretty. But America is not beyond saving—if we take the threats before us seriously.
I was gratified to see the Department of Justice indict the Southern Poverty Law Center for secretly and dishonestly funding the very organizations it claims to oppose. For years, the SPLC has smeared conservative organizations like the Family Research Council, Alliance Defending Freedom, and Turning Point USA as if they were no different from the KKK.
Along with their political and media allies, they’ve gone after anyone with traditional conservative beliefs—censoring them, persecuting them, and trying to make them unemployable. Believe me, I know.
Finally, we have a president and an administration that are fighting back. Finally, we have a leader who knows what time it is and understands that we cannot roll over and allow the radical left to take over this country.
But Republicans across America need to step up. Look at what’s at stake here in Idaho: the 2030 census will create a third congressional district. If lawmakers don’t act soon, those new district boundaries will be drawn by a “bipartisan” commission—even though Idaho has more than five times as many registered Republicans as Democrats.
We could easily end up with a Boise-dominated third district—and a Democrat representing Idaho in Congress—if our leaders don’t act soon.
I know some people find politics distasteful. I get it; we all want to be left alone to live our lives. But the side that wants to win will always beat the side that wants to be left alone. Reagan was right—this is our time, our battle, and we must fight it now so that our grandchildren can enjoy the blessings of a free country. |
