A New Year’s Reckoning for the Nation at a Crossroads
“The hour is coming and is now here…”
The clock is ticking on the United States. A shadow that had once begun to dissipate is reforming, and the people’s vision grows clouded under its weight.
As Americans gather tonight to celebrate the turning of the calendar, raising glasses to 2026, the clock is ticking on the United States in a far grimmer sense. A shadow that had once begun to lift is reforming, and the people’s vision grows clouded under its weight. This New Year is not just a celebration—it is a reckoning.
2025 ushered in the Golden Era—or so we believed. A year to expose government corruption, restore liberty, and reestablish America as the global leader while breaking free from the globalists’ grip. We would see wars end, corruption exposed, and our enemies prosecuted. It would be an era of triumph and celebration.
Woefully, those dreams went largely unfulfilled. Prosecutions stalled, wars escalated, liberties continued to erode, and globalists tightened their chokehold on the Land of the Free. President Trump has been a figure of mixed results, both great and rueful, but progress has been painfully slow.
President Trump and his administration have moved to reverse Biden-era damage by reasserting border enforcement (an area of considerable success), expanding deportations, restoring American energy production, withdrawing cooperation from certain globalist frameworks, pressuring NATO allies, confronting DEI and ESG policies within federal agencies, and curbing aspects of the administrative state. These actions matter, and they signal a correct trajectory.
However, these actions have been accompanied by slow progress in high-profile prosecutions, limited exposure of intelligence and law enforcement abuses, continued foreign entanglements without decisive resolution, and a failure to fully dismantle the bureaucratic structures that enabled national decline in the first place. The result is a presidency marked by real gains—but gains that are unfolding too cautiously, too incrementally, in a moment that demands speed, clarity, and force.
These issues have created problems for the American people, as Rasmussen Reports polling shows that President Trump’s approval rating is -15.
Rapidly, a year has passed by—a reality nearly impossible to comprehend. Today, New Year’s Eve, the world sets goals of prosperity. Yet, these are not the goals that I set. 2026 demands a different vision: one of survival, courage, and decisive action.
2026 is a year of necessity. A pivotal point. The political order as we know it is in shambles; there are countless demands of the people that are not being met as they drift further from their representatives. The 2025 elections were a bleak warning of the state of the nation, and the midterm election markets are showing a loss of the House for Republicans. Even if Republicans retain the House, two years of inaction prove that victories without enforcement are meaningless.
The problem is no longer routine day-to-day politics or economics—though these too falter. We face an existential threat to humanity itself. The government’s state is perhaps more dire than it has ever been; time runs out, and the people believe that every moment passing brings catastrophe closer.
In fairness, Trump inherited a nightmare the Founders never imagined. Unraveling it demands unprecedented effort. The Legislative branch remains almost completely ineffective, failing to advance America First or MAGA agendas.
Once again, the people believe that we are nearly out of time. Rome is burning, and the government is fiddling while it is being torched to the ground. While many successes cannot be ignored, there have been no necessary prosecutions, and we have been proven one thing: Justice, as this country has known, is non-existent.
I fear the consequences of these realities. The people’s demands for justice are not being met, and their situation is not improved by better economics or global security. The globalist agenda is advancing ever rapidly, and 2030 is drawing nigh. Will this result in vigilante justice, as many in the conservative world are calling for? Will this lead to a police state and play directly into the globalists’ hands? With many calling for a tax strike, as confirmed by Marjorie Taylor Greene, I fear the consequences of a government attack on the people or even the extremes of a Rex 84-style roundup.
Furthermore, Gen Z, the nation’s future, has been neglected, maligned, and denied the supposed “normal life” promised by previous generations. Their alienation signals a deeper civilizational breakdown.
As we watch the system across the 12 civilizational domains fall apart, from media to culture to the church and the government, we watch conservatives in-fight without accomplishing anything, and the government we trusted and praised rarely moves the needle, we see the entire system burn.
2026 in the year of our Lord is a new year. This year must promise certain resolutions to save this nation. The government must:
- Reassert the rule of law, deliver strong and swift prosecutions against pedophiles, criminals, and tyrants.
- Shrink the administrative state.
- Increase the number of deportations, secure social solidarity, and decrease immigration and visas.
- Confront the looming and massive debt crisis.
- Withdrawal from war-mongering, globalist, supranational organizations.
- Full protection of human life, reassertion of human, moral, and family values from a biblical lens.
- Make living affordable and possible again. Enable people to be able to afford homes, property, and families, live decent lives, and get successful, good-quality jobs.
- Break the alliance between state power and corporate technocracy.
- Freedom from the surveillance and nanny state and protection from the upcoming Orwellian nightmare.
- Absolute rejection of the depopulation and globalist ideologies.
- Restore national interest as the guiding principle of foreign policy
The people themselves bear responsibilities:
- Reclaim responsibility. A nation of dependents cannot be free. Families, churches, and local communities must resume roles the state was never meant to occupy.
- Once again demand the intelligence, responsibility, and advancement from our youth—as we once did, before the adolescent movement—, starting at a very young age.
- Reject cultural decay openly and unapologetically.
- Disengage from bread-and-circus politics and constant infighting.
- Prepare for instability instead of denying it.
- Demand courage from leaders—and remove those who lack it. This itself necessitates running for office and backing real American candidates.
- Restore moral clarity about human worth, value, intention, and purpose. This demands a return to Jehovah God.
- Rebuilding family, fertility, and continuity—which must happen before the depopulation crisis results in a unreturnable population collapse.
- Local resilience over centralized dependence.
- And most importantly, live with courage instead of comfort to save our nation.
The hour is no longer coming—it is upon us. As the clock strikes midnight and 2025 slips into history, 2026 stands before us like a trial. This is not a year for hesitation, half-measures, or waiting for others to act. It is the year the American people must demand justice, courage, and accountability—or watch their nation crumble beyond repair.
The government must act decisively—or be replaced by those who will. The people must reclaim responsibility for their communities, families, and future. Comfort has no place in this fight; only courage, conviction, and sacrifice will secure our liberty.
This New Year cannot be merely a celebration—it must be a reckoning. America cannot afford delay, indecision, or complacency. 2026 will be remembered as the year we either rose to save our nation or allowed it to burn while doing nothing. The hour is here. The chair is against the wall. The great nation we love hinges on our next move.
Happy New Year’s and Godspeed,
