Today, Wednesday, November 5, 2025, could be seen as a dark day for many conservatives after Tuesday’s off-year elections in California, New York, Virginia, and New Jersey, where frankly, we got shellacked. We will officially have a communist as mayor of NYC, an attorney general in Virginia who promotes brutal violence and wishes the deaths of his opponents’ kids, a shredding of the state constitution in California to further corrupt Democracy in the already gerrymandered-to-within-an-inch-of-its-life state, and more.
But today marks another milestone, one which should bring smiles to the faces of Republicans everywhere, because it’s a date where we partially took back our country and at least slowed the rapid descent into oblivion that Joe Biden and Kamala Harris were sailing us toward.
One year ago, Donald Trump was elected president, and JD Vance won the vice presidency.
To that, especially as the ugly reality of Tuesday night begins to sink in, I say: amen.
If you’re feeling a little down watching Virginia’s governorship flip from red to blue and New Jersey staying firmly in the Democrats’ camp, just remember that Kamala Harris could be president today. She’s not – and that should lift any dark feelings almost immediately and make you grin. I know my smile widens every time I think about it.
Trump himself certainly hasn’t forgotten:

Ah, Such Sweet Memories: Trump Speaks With Humility to Supporters at HQ After Victory on Election Night
Election Night Highlights: the Fun, the Joy, and the Meltdowns by the Media
The White House took the opportunity to celebrate and remind us of his accomplishments in an email and a statement on their official page:
Promises Made, Promises Kept — One Year Later
One year ago today, the American people delivered a resounding mandate to President Donald J. Trump when they overwhelmingly re-elected him to an historic second term. In just ten months since his inauguration as the 47th President of the United States, he has moved with unprecedented speed and resolve to secure the border, drive down costs, restore public safety, and unleash American energy and prosperity — and momentum is building for even greater achievements ahead.
Here is just a very partial list from the WH statement detailing the “promises kept”:
- Closing the border
- Carrying out the largest deportation operation in American history
- Cracking down on crime
- Cutting taxes for middle-class families
- Restoring Peace through Strength
- Strengthening and modernizing our military
- Unleashing American energy
- Negotiating better trade deals
- Ending the Radical Left’s insanity on race and gender
- Keeping men out of women’s sports

Ole Joe and/or Kamala would be doing the exact opposite on every single one of those policies. Think about that today and, as the saying goes, "Turn that frown upside down."
Happy anniversary, America. The battle is far from over.
Editor’s Note: The Schumer Shutdown is here. Rather than put the American people first, Chuck Schumer and the radical Democrats forced a government shutdown for healthcare for illegals. They own this.
