Staff Reports
The latest news out of Europe has U.S. Army bases on heightened terror alert, prompting a fresh wave of anxiety and concern. With threats looming larger by the day, this heightened alert serves as a stark reminder that America’s international interests require strong, coherent leadership. Sadly, what the country has right now makes a game of Jenga look like a pillar of stability.
If anyone still harbored doubts about the current administration’s dwindling cognitive faculties, this situation should clear it up. A president should inspire confidence, marshaling resources and ensuring readiness. Instead, Americans have witnessed a commander-in-chief who struggles with cue cards and public appearances. What this country doesn’t need is an endless string of gaffes and mental lapses at a time when clear-eyed leadership is crucial.
The world is not a kind place, and threats to national security are an ever-present reality. Whether it’s hostile nations or radical terror cells, the responsibility of safeguarding American lives extends far beyond our borders. European allies are now in a heightened state of alertness due to terror threats, and the ripple effect is felt back home. The patience of our service members and their families is being tested by an administration that seems better fit for a retirement home than the White House.

The American people deserve a leader who can actually lead, not one who’s lost their grip on key responsibilities. When threats are knocking at the door, the country needs someone who can keep it locked and secure, not a figurehead who fumbles with the keys. The stakes are too high for the nation to be governed by someone who can barely navigate a teleprompter.
It’s past time to get serious about national security. A president who’s losing his grip on reality can’t be expected to handle the intricate and grave matters of safeguarding American lives. What the nation needs is firm, decisive, and fully engaged leadership that treats these threats with the gravity they deserve, not someone who’s treating the presidency like an assisted-living arrangement.
