As you may be able to tell from the Democrats’ caterwauling, Thursday’s House passage of the Big, Beautiful Bill culminates an epic run of wins for President Donald Trump.
First, he took the bold, historic step of ordering a massive bombing raid on Iran’s nuclear-enrichment facilities.
The Obama-Biden crowd long insisted that the only way to address the mad mullahs’ drive to get The Bomb was appeasement — including sending them pallets of currency in convenient denominations.
Trump flipped off that idiocy (which only promoted Tehran’s power) and stared down the kooky right-wing quarters that insisted that confronting Iran would mean the certain death of thousands of American troops and another decades-long “forever war.”
US forces flawlessly carried out Trump’s limited, tactical strike on Iran’s nuclear facilities — and the commander-in-chief followed up with an immediate push for peace, ending the Israel-Iran war.
Prospects for peace across the Middle East are now the brightest they’ve been in over a century.
Smaller Trump diplomatic wins range from making Canada drop its planned “tech tax” on US digital companies to a trade deal with Vietnam that will help reduce our supply-chain dependence on China.
Meanwhile, the Supreme Court backed up the president on multiple key fronts, including his deportation powers — and most crucially by making it clear that activist lower-court federal judges can’t routinely impose national injunctions on the executive branch.
And CBS parent Paramount has agreed to pay $16 million (as well as airing millions more in public-service announcements) to settle Trump’s lawsuit over the scandalous political gaming at “60 Minutes.”

Meanwhile, administration pressure is working even on campus, as the University of Virginia ousted a president who wouldn’t let go of racist DEI policies and the University of Pennsylvania agreed to keep men out of women’s sports, even erasing swimmer Lia Thomas’ bogus records.
All while the stock market sets new-record highs even as every jobs report comes in stronger that expected, while inflation stays in check despite the doomsaying over Trump’s tariffs.
Then there’s the BBB, the massive budget bill that enacts much of Trump’s agenda and prevents a disastrous tax hike that was otherwise baked-in.
Getting this one passed despite narrow majorities in both House and Senate is a major victory.
Yes, we worry about when Washington will tackle its spending problems — and we’re heartbroken over the Pentagon’s cutoff of key arms to Ukraine.
But the president’s overall win streak is truly remarkable, and all in less than six months after he re-entered the Oval Office — and not yet a year after that assassin’s bullet came centimeters from taking his life.
Presidents are usually much weaker in a second term; with this incredible start, Trump looks to be setting yet another new record for success.
