After losing the election in November, the Democrats devised a game plan to stop the implementation of President Donald Trump’s agenda. Since Democrats no longer controlled Congress or the White House, they decided to focus on the judiciary.
Consequently, 23 Democrat Attorney Generals decided to meet daily for “a thirty-minute confidential video chat to coordinate their plans for pushing back against the Trump administration.” The coordinated resistance was joined by the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), and other left-wing organizations. The result has been unprecedented success in the federal courts.
For Democrat Party resistance, it helps that President Joe Biden appointed 228 judges to the federal courts, the most for a four-year period since the administration of President Jimmy Carter. Overall, 60% of active federal district court judges have been appointed by Democrat Presidents.
Thus, it has been easy for opponents of Trump’s agenda to find sympathetic judges. Of the 30 judges who have either partially or fully blocked Trump executive actions, 26 have been appointed by a Democrat President.
The most infamous case involved Judge James Boasberg, a federal district court judge appointed by President Barack Obama, who “issued a temporary restraining order halting the Trump administration’s use of the Alien Enemies Act to deport Venezuelans that the White House insists are part of a gang.”
In response, President Trump posted on social media, “If it was up to District Judge Boasberg and other Radical Left Judges, nobody would be removed, the President wouldn’t be allowed to do his job, and people’s lives would be devastated all throughout our Country.”
Sadly, President Trump was given another judicial setback last weekend at the Supreme Court level. His administration’s plan to use the Alien Enemies Act to deport Venezuelan gang members was “paused” by the Supreme Court, which had previously issued a “narrow and focused” decision lifting the order from Judge Boasberg blocking the deportations.
In its latest decision, the Supreme Court directed the Trump administration “not to remove any member of the putative class of detainees from the United States until further order of this Court.” The “putative class” refers to individuals the Trump administration claims are members of the violent Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua.
The ruling was issued late at night in response to a hurried appeal filed by the ACLU on behalf of the suspected Venezuelan gang members. Supreme Court Justices Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas strongly opposed the 7-2 decision. In this dissent, Alito wrote, “Literally in the middle of the night, the Court issued unprecedented and legally questionable relief without giving the lower courts a chance to rule, without hearing from the opposing party, within eight hours of receiving the application, with dubious factual support for its order, and without providing any explanation for its order.”
Along with battling Trump in the courts, Democrats are continuing to count on their friends in the media to provide sympathetic coverage of their activities. On Sunday, multiple networks featured the ridiculous U.S. Senator Chris Van Hollen (D-MD) who travelled to El Salvador to have a highly publicized lunch, including margaritas, with Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a suspected MS-13 gang member who previously was living in his state.
Never mind that Abrego Garcia illegally crossed into our country, was accused by his wife of spousal abuse on two occasions, was tied by multiple judges to the notorious MS-13 gang, and was suspected of human trafficking, Democrats like Van Hollen have turned him into a celebrity.
Other Democrats want to visit Abrego Garcia and advocate for his release. This strategy is part of the Democrat Party’s plan to oppose the Trump administration on every issue, including popular ones like deporting illegal aliens.
CNN Data Analyst Harry Enten recently delivered the unwelcome news for Democrats. He noted that 56% of Americans are in favor of deporting “every” illegal immigrant in the country. What is significant about this finding is that Americans want all illegal immigrants removed from the country, not just foreign gang members.
This is a substantial change from previous polls. In 2016, Enten noted that only 38% of Americans wanted to deport all illegal immigrants. He said, “The American people have come a long way on this issue, much closer to Donald Trump, and I think that’s a big part of the reason why Americans are increasingly saying the country is on the right track when it comes to immigration policy.”
As Democrats continue to advocate for suspected foreign gang members, claiming that their “rights” are being denied, most Americans are not supporting this radical agenda. Enten showed that in December of 2024, the last month of Biden’s disastrous presidency, only 14% of Americans said the country was on the “right track.”
Several months later, after the inauguration of President Trump, there has been a 300% increase in that rating. Today, 45% of Americans feel the country is on the “right track” under President Trump.
While there is plenty for this administration to address in the months ahead to undo the horrendous policies of Joe Biden, the President has already made tremendous progress on the crucial issue of border security.
Illegal crossings at the United States/Mexican border dropped to only 7,000 in March, a decrease of 94% from the previous year. According to the New York Post, this is the lowest level in at least “25 years” and if illegal crossings continue to stay at “these levels,” the country will “hit a low not seen since 1968.”
Despite this stunning success, the Democrats continue to hysterically oppose President Trump across the board. Unfortunately for Democrats, their protests last weekend did not reach the levels of participation that was anticipated. In addition, the party is fractured with some elements supporting a more radical agenda, while others hope for some moderation.
In the meantime, President Trump and his administration continue to move forward, dealing with the strident and multifaceted opposition, but knowing that their agenda has the backing of most Americans.

Why One Survival Food Company Shines Above the Rest
Let’s be real. “Prepper Food” or “Survival Food” is generally awful. The vast majority of companies that push their cans, bags, or buckets desperately hope that their customers never try them and stick them in the closet or pantry instead. Why? Because if the first time they try them is after the crap hits the fan, they’ll be too shaken to call and complain about the quality.
It’s true. Most long-term storage food is made with the cheapest possible ingredients with limited taste and even less nutritional value. This is why they tout calories so much. Sure, they provide calories but does anyone really want to go into the apocalypse with food their family can’t stand?
This is what prompted the Llewellyns to launch Heaven’s Harvest. They bought survival food from multiple companies and determined they couldn’t imagine being stuck in an extended emergency with such low-quality food. They quickly discovered that freeze drying food for long-term storage doesn’t have to mean sacrificing flavor, consistency, or nutrition.
Their ingredients are all-American. In fact, they’re locally sourced and all-natural! This allows their products to be the highest quality on the market, so good that their customers often break open a bag in a pinch to eat because they want to, not just because they have to due to an emergency.
At Heaven’s Harvest, their only focus is amazing food. They don’t sell bugout bags, solar chargers, or multitools. They have one mission – feeding Americans in times of crisis.
What they DO offer is the ability for people to thrive in times of greatest need. On top of long-term storage food, they offer seeds to help Americans for the truly long-term. They want them to grow their own food if possible which is why they offer only Heirloom, Non-GMO, Non-Hybrid, Open-Pollinated seeds so their customers can build permanent food security on their own property.
