How We See It

New Republican Times Editorial Board

It’s refreshing to see our military taking decisive action against the drug trade that’s been plaguing our shores. The recent strikes in the Pacific, ordered during Trump's leadership, showcase our commitment to American strength and the safety of our communities. It's clear that strong action against these threats is exactly what we need to protect our families and uphold law and order.

We have to appreciate how these efforts align with Republican values—no-nonsense policies that prioritize freedom and personal responsibility. Unlike the liberal approach, which often turns a blind eye to such issues, our side stands firm against crime and chaos, believing that a safe nation is a strong nation.

As we celebrate these military victories, we must remain vigilant against any attempts by the left to undermine our efforts. Their policies often promote leniency, which only emboldens criminals. Let’s continue to support our leaders who prioritize patriotism and tough stands on law enforcement, ensuring that conservative principles guide our path forward.
