I’m happy that my wife and I recently visited Washington, D.C., and saw all the key places along Constitution Avenue in front of the White House, where the great Army Parade took place on June 14th, 2025. We had spent a lot of time in the precise location where the stage was set up for President Trump and others to view the celebration, so it was extra special for me, given the context of that visit. It was a very patriotic event that we much needed, and it’s so good to see President Trump back in the White House. This is the kind of thing many were unsure would ever happen again in America, especially after the 2020 election theft and the COVID-19 lockdowns. It seemed at the time as if we would never see such celebrations in America again. However, this one was the first of its kind, where Army sentiment was on full display with tanks and troops marching in full patriotic fanfare, which occurred very early in President Trump’s second term, and the world was watching. And it couldn’t have come at a better time; the country certainly needed it. With the world plunging toward war, with lots of hostile characters trying to create chaos in the background, whether it was the fights in Iran, the war in Ukraine, or China posturing to attack Taiwan, the many Marxist groups were gathering for No Kings marches all over the United States at the same time. And without this epic Army parade, things would have looked pretty bleak. However, it was so successful that it made it very clear who the world’s villains were, and they seemed rather foolish by comparison. Something that would not have been so obvious if Trump had not thought of celebrating the 250th birthday of the creation of the Army before America was even born.
For anybody to protest that parade was pretty foolish. Trump has never sold himself as a king of any kind, so the desperate attempts to paint him as a tyrannical dictator only indicate just how much of a threat law and order are to the chaos of destruction that the political left intends for us all, which has been hidden carefully behind polite society. However, when a majority of society views something like an Army parade and enjoys it under the common appreciation of our nation’s flag, radicals against it appear much worse than they typically do. It’s hard to preach against something so positive, yet that was the position of the anti-American protestors who have been attacking ICE deportations, American support of Israel over the PLO, and now a resurrection of appreciation for military recruitment and career advancement. The combined efforts of many hostile characters working in the background were aimed at eroding the idea of America and turning our country into a collective entity of the United Nations, thereby losing all sovereign control to foreign, centralized banking. It was never more apparent just how bad the messaging is of these radical groups than by June of 2025, when they still haven’t figured out why Americans voted for President Trump again in the recent election. The bottom line is that they don’t understand what makes people work, and believe that they are so stupid that they would just mindlessly follow the Marxists trying to stop America from existing. Trump was never trying to position himself as a king; he was popularly elected to do a job. And he is doing it very well.
But imagine what the rest of the world must have thought. Again, I frequently get the chance to travel and talk to people from all over the world, so I have a perspective that isn’t confined to what people are doing in my own backyard. And the world isn’t a very good or safe place. Most governments are lacking because they are centralized and driven by administrative controls. So people have come to accept deficiencies in expectation due to this collectivist nature. Most places in the world have some degree of socialism, communism, or overall Marxism at the core of their society. That has been tried in America and can easily be found on most school boards, corporate boardrooms, finance institutions, the medical industry, and all labor unions. However, people themselves have rejected those traits and have been hungry for an alternative, which the free market in America has been able to nurture, and to significant effect. And the reminder of why that is was on full display with the Army Parade. Tyrannical ideas can’t take hold in America because of the Second Amendment, and because we have an all volunteer military that keeps bad guys out, leaving some of the most hostile forces in the world to fund radical demonstrations like what was seen by the No Kings protests, primarily financed by Marxist groups and figureheads like the billionaire Neville Singham. We usually talk about people like Alex and George Soros for that kind of thing, but in truth, there are many handfuls of these Marxist types who use their money to pay for their own sort of army, the disenchanted youth, to be their ground troops of destruction. And the poor kids are too stupid to understand how they are being used as a disguised military overthrow of our government by Marxist protestors. And in the background, constantly, they have hidden themselves, because there weren’t better things happening in the world that exposed them. This Army Parade was so positive and impressive that it made what they had been doing look insignificant by comparison, and the contrast is stark.
As a result, people are finding that they like the world President Trump is presenting, much better than the stringy-haired hippies of public education advocating for Marxism. People like those in the military wanted to celebrate it with the President in such positive fanfare. It was such a nice event. As I mentioned, I thoroughly enjoyed my recent trip to Washington, D.C., with my wife. It was great to have Trump back in the White House. But it was even better to take that area between the Washington Monument and the White House and have a military parade to show the world the miracles of capitalism, and a solid, well-funded Army with a deep, sustainable history, controlled by popular elections under self-rule. Quite the opposite message from what the protests were trying to sell, that came out flat and jaded. Unlike in the past, when people would give their opinions the time of day. There is now a lot of history that people are ashamed of, so the communist playbook of protest and discontent isn’t registering. However, a military parade in front of the White House was something the world could rally behind, demonstrating that Trump understands all too well how to project America’s values to the world in ways that no modern-day consultants could comprehend. That display was pure Trump, and understanding the market value of freedom, and how it helps keep the world in check. And it dwarfed all the rallies cheered on by the Marxist and socialist groups in cities all over America. The Army parade dominated the news cycle and deflated the Marxist balloon, just in time, too. And I think it started a new tradition, which is about time. The first months of Trump’s second term have been great. But I think we are just seeing the beginning of many great things to follow.
