President’s Address February 2026

                            President’s  Address

                                  2-21-26


Collectively, we need to get Republicans elected this year. I will keep mentioning the importance of speaking to your friends, family and neighbors.  It is critical to help register more Republican voters.  Each of us can help do our part.  Anyone watch the Super bowl?   Anyone watch Bad Bunny?   Or did you switch the channel to TPUSA All American Half time?  Did you know that the alternative half time had as many as 50 million viewers on all streaming platforms?  That is a huge win!Everything we do, collectively and individually, matters! I read a great article by General Flynn and I would like to quote him and tell you about the “Power of One”:“America was never shaped by large institutions or famous names.  It has always been influenced by ORDINARY INDIVIDUALS who chose to speak up, participate, and lead with integrity.  We often picture the Founding   era   as   calm   and   orderly,   filled   with   polite   debates   and unanimous agreements, but in reality, it was shaped by people who were   willing   to   question   unfair   systems   and   work   persistently   for reform.     One   of   the   people   was   Samuel   Adams.     Today,   many recognize his name because of a popular brand, but in the 1760s and 1770s he was known primarily as a committed writer and community leader   who   believed   deeply   in   civic   responsibility   and   public accountability.Sam   Adams   was   not   wealthy,   powerful   or   well   connected.     He struggled financially and failed in several business ventures.  Yet, he possessed   something   more   important   than   status, DETERMINIATION!   While many leaders hoped the problems with British  authorities   could   be   resolved  quietly.    Adams   believed   that lasting   solutions   require   Public   engagement,   transparency   and informed citizens.  He helped create committees of correspondence,  

early   communication   networks   that   allowed   different   people   in different   colonies   to   share   information   discuss   concerns   and participate more actively in public life.   He wrote essays, organized town   meetings   and   encouraged   neighbors   to   stay   informed   and involved.     His   focus   was   not   chaos,   but   accountability   and representation…..Samuel Adams was not always popular.  Some colleagues thought he pushed too hard or spoke too bluntly.  Other worried he would create unnecessary conflict.   Yet, his critics recognized that he motivated people   by   a   genuine   belief   in   fairness,   lawful   representation   and responsible  government.    History  often   remembers  those  who  are willing   to   raise   difficult   questions,   even   when   doing   so   is uncomfortable.Every   generation   faces   moments   when   people   feel   frustrated, disconnected, or unsure whether their voices matter.   It is easy to assume that change will come from someone else, someone more powerful,   more   experienced   or   more   visible.    As   a   result,   many choose silence over involvement.  Adams chose a different path.  He participated consistently, stayed informed, and encouraged others to do the same, even when there were personal costs. Today, many Americans feel concerned about institutions, community trust, and the tone of public discourse.  People want honesty, stability, and solutions that bring neighbors together rather than divide them. In times like these, progress does not come from anger or hostility.  It comes   from   citizens   who   are   willing   to   listen,   learn,   engage respectfully, and work within civic systems to improve them.  Positive change begins when individuals decide to show up, volunteer, attend meetings,   write   letters,   mentor   young   people,   and   hold   leaders accountable in lawful and constructive ways.  History shows that impact is not limited to the wealthy or powerful. Samuel Adams was once an unsuccessful businessman.  Rosa Parks was a working woman.   Many respectful leaders throughout history began as ordinary citizens who simply chose to act with courage and consistency.     What   set   them   apart   was   not   fame   or   fortune,   but character, persistence, and a commitment to the common good.Adams lived under pressure and criticism.  He sacrificed comfort and security for his principles.  He understood that serving the public often requires   patience,   resilience   and   humility.     Meaningful   progress   is rarely easy, but always routed in responsibility and respect for others.The   early   chapters   of   American   history   remind   us   that   lasting improvements   grow   from   conversation,   cooperation   and   civic engagement.   They   begin   when   one   person   decides   that   staying informed,   speaking   thoughtfully   and   participating   honestly   matters. That truth remains relevant today.  You do not need wealth, status, or permission   to   care   about   your   community.     You   do   not   need   a platform to demand integrity.  You do not need connections to stand for what is right.   What you need is courage to stop waiting, stop assuming   someone   else   will   fix   what   is   broken,   and   take responsibility for the future you are leaving behind.  Every generation is   judged   whether   its   people   showed   up   or   checked   out.     The question is not whether change is possible.  The question is whether you are willing to be a part of it. God Bless President Trump! God Bless Arizona! God Bless America!Administrative PointsI have a few administrative items to review:You were all given a half sheet of paper with instructions.  It is to help us sign ballots for our candidates electronically.The URL will be easier if you add equal at the end to get into the  E-Qual site. 

The second page on your table shows just some of the candidates listed online.  Choose the candidates you would like to have on the primary ballot. This is a CRITICAL effort to help our candidates get on the ballots this election cycle.  The Secretary of State shortened the period to get ballots signed.  The candidates only have until March 23rd and each of them needs a specific number of valid signatures.  Please go home and sign for the candidates! One last thing!Grand Board Elections are coming!  Voting is March 9 to 16!  You can read the schedule online.  There is a schedule of events online.  Clay Stephens’ flyer is on the tables.  Take a minute to read it or take it with you.  He is a common sense candidate. And, has some other great traits including he’s a great listener and wants to understand the topic and ask the questions to make the best decision!  Give his pamphlet a read and strongly consider him for our Grand board!  

President’s Address January 2026

 

  • 1 I could easily talk about our great President and his many accomplishments in what seems like a very short year!   I am sure all of you know that President Trump has many priorities.  He is committed to lowering costs for all   Americans,   securing   our   borders,   unleashing   American   energy dominance, restoring peace through strength, and making all Americans safe and secure once again.To quote our favorite president, “When the world looks at us next year, let them see a nation that is loyal to its citizens, faithful to its identity, certain to its destiny and the envy of the entire globe!”   Are we happy so far???So  today, I  would   like to  tell  the  story   that Ken   Blackwell  has  done   so eloquently.  “There are moments in life when the difference between talk and true sacrifice becomes unmistakably clear.Dan Bongino showed the country exactly what that difference looks like.He already had everything most people dream about.Financial security.Massive influence. The biggest show in America and a media operation reaching millions every day.He could have stayed right there.Comfortable.Protected.Close to his family.Free to speak without restraint and never worry about the cost.Then President Trump called. 
  • 2 And Dan did something that stunned both friends and enemies alike.He walked away from all of it.Not for applause.Not for a soft landing.Not for a guaranteed outcome.But to take on one of the most entrenched institutions in the country. The FBI.An agency that had drifted far from its mission.An agency that had become a shield for the Deep State.A political weapon turned inward against the very people it was sworn to protect.Most people said the system was too rotten to fix.Too protected.Too powerful.Too deeply embedded.Dan went anywayHe went knowing exactly what he was walking into.Knowing the resistance would be vicious.Knowing the pressure would be relentless.Knowing powerful people would never forgive him for exposing what they wanted hidden.And he got to work.Bad actors were removed.Corruption was exposed. 
  • 3 The   curtain   was   pulled   back   on   how   deeply   the   Deep   State   had burrowed into federal law enforcement.And   some   of   the   most   important   work   happened   quietly,   without headlines or credit.  A real crackdown on child abusers who hide behind bureaucracy and silence.A renewed focus on dismantling drug trafficking networks that destroy families and poison communities.Real criminals pursued instead of political enemies.Real justice instead of selective enforcement.That kind of work does not come with glory.It comes with threats.It comes with isolation.It   comes   with   long   nights   and   the   constant   weight   of   knowing powerful people want you gone.And eventually, it comes at a cost that no title can justify.Time away from your family.Every good father and every good husband knows there is a line you cannot cross forever.Dan reached that line.Choosing family is not surrender.It is principle.It is the same integrity that led him to serve in the first place.The FBI may still need to be rebuilt from the ground up.The fight against the Deep State is far from over.But history will record the truth. 
  • 4 When it mattered, Dan Bongino did not stay comfortable!He   did   no   hide   behind   a   microphone   and   criticize   from   a   safe distance.He stepped into the arena.He took the blows.He did the work.And he left knowing he gave everything he had.That is what real service to America looks like.Thank you for standing up when it is hardest.Thank you for protecting the innocent.Thank you for going after the worst criminals instead of the easiest targets.Thank you for going after the worst criminals instead of the easiest targets.Thank you for reminding the country that courage still exists.Thank you Dan Bongino for your service!.Now you ask me why this matters.  In my humble opinion, this year will not be like on a plane ride where the flight attendants tell us to “sit back, relax and enjoy the ride!  Instead, this election year is critical and will take ALL OF US to achieve a successful outcome.As Andrew Breitbart said, “Walk toward the fire.   Don’t worry about what they call you.  All those things are said against you because they want to stop you in your tracks.  But if you keep going, you’re sending a message to   people   who   are   rooting   for   you,   who   are   agreeing   with   you.     The message is that they can do it too.  There is awakening that is happening and we need to be down for the fight.I ask you, “if you have to choose between fight or flight, will you choose to fight?

President’s Message February-2025

  

Trump 2.0! Are we feeling better about our country and our world? I sure am. “We are filled with hope for America with President Trump leading our country!”

Before Trump even took office, he had circulated his 10 Point Plan of what he would do when he took office. Have you seen it? I put it on a slide for you. He is acting very swiftly on his list and delivering as he promised during the campaign. Agree? He is overwhelming the Swamp with his initiatives and they are not happy! Somehow, the Democrats are on their back foot and keep pushing the very same agenda that led to their huge election loss. IMHO, their heads are spinning. I am hoping the Trump team keeps the Days of Thunder going!

And how about the Department of Government Efficiency? Otherwise known as DOGE. The DOGE clock is running. It is now at higher than $82T. A very smart group of young geniuses are working for Musk seeking out and finding the egregious list of spending by our government. The USAID list is truly unbelievable especially given it is taxpayer money spent for causes that undermine America and American values. We have placed a list on the tables. Check it out! 

Did everyone get to hear the Inaugural address on January 20th? I thought it would be worth the time to go back to this very well written and delivered speech. It is worth quoting our President. 

“From this day forward, our country will flourish and be respected again over the world. We will be the envy of every nation and we will not allow ourselves to be taken advantage of any longer. During every single day of the Trump administration, I will very simply, put America First. 

Our sovereignty will be reclaimed. Our safety will be restored. The scales of justice will be rebalanced. The vicious, violent and unfair weaponization of the Justice Department and our government will end. 

And our top priority will be to create a nation that is proud, prosperous and free!

America will soon be greater, stronger, and far more exceptional than ever before.

I return to the presidency confident and optimistic that we are at the start of a thrilling new era of national success. A tide of change is sweeping the country, sunlight is pouring over the entire world, and America has the chance to seize the opportunity like never before. ……

As we gather today, our government confronts a crisis of trust. For many years, a radical and corrupt establishment has extracted power and wealth from our citizens while the pillars of our society lay broken and seemingly in complete disrepair. 

We now have a government that cannot manage even a simple crisis….

It fails to protect our magnificent, law abiding American citizens but provides sanctuary and protection for dangerous criminals, many from prisons and mental institutions that have illegally entered our country from all over the world. 

We have a government that has given unlimited funding to the defense of foreign borders but refused to defend American borders or, more importantly, its own people……..

My recent election is a mandate to completely and totally reverse a horrible betrayal and all of the many betrayals that have taken place and to give the people back their faith, their wealth, their democracy, and indeed, their freedom. From this moment on, America’s decline is over. 

Over the past eight years, I have been tested and challenged more than any other president in our 250 year history and I’ve learned a lot along the way……Just a few months ago, and assassin’s bullet ripped through my ear. But, I felt then and believe even more so now that my life was saved for a reason. I was saved by God to Make America Great Again…….

That is why each day under my administration of American Patriots, we will be working to meet every crisis with dignity and power and strength. We will move with purpose and speed to bring back hope, prosperity, safety and peace for citizens of every race, color and creed. For American citizens, January 20th, 2025 is Liberation Day! It is my hope that our recent presidential election will be remembered as the greatest and most consequential election in the history of our nation. ………

National unity is now returning to America and confidence and pride is soaring like never before. In everything we do, my administration will be inspired by a strong pursuit of excellence and unrelenting success. We will not forget our country, we will not forget our Constitution, and we will not forget our God! ……We will begin the complete restoration of America and the revolution of common sense……….

As a commander in chief, I have no higher responsibility than to defend our country from threats and invasions, and that is exactly what I am going to do. We will do it at a level that nobody has ever seen before……

I will direct all members of my cabinet to marshal the vast powers….to defeat what is record inflation and bring down costs and prices….

America will be a manufacturing nation once again, and we have something that no other manufacturing nation will ever have – the largest amount of oil and gas of any country. …We will end the Green New Deal and the electric vehicle mandate…..

I will …begin the overhaul of our trade system to protect American workers and families. ….

The American dream will soon be back and thriving like never before…..

Never again will the immense power of the state be weaponized to persecute political opponents….And we are going to bring back law and order to our cities. …We will build the strongest military the world has ever seen……

My proudest legacy will be that of a peacemaker and unifier. That is what I want to be peacemaker and unifier. …..

America will reclaim its rightful place as the greatest, most powerful, most respected nation on earth, inspiring the awe and admiration of the entire world…..Above all, my message to Americans today, is that it is time for us to once again act with courage, vigor, and the vitality of history’s greatest civilization. Ambition is the lifeblood of a great nation, and, right now, our nation is more ambitious than any other. There’s no nation like our nation. 

Americans are explorers, builders, innovators, entrepreneurs and pioneers. The spirit of the frontier is written into our hearts. The call of the next great adventure resounds from within our souls…..

Americans pushed thousands of miles through a rugged land of untamed wilderness. They crossed deserts, scaled mountains, braved untold dangers, won the Wild West, ended slavery, rescued millions from tyranny, lifted billions from poverty, harnessed electricity, split the atom, launched mankind into the heavens and put the universe of human knowledge into the palm of the human hand. If we work together, there is nothing we cannot do and no dream we cannot achieve…..

I stand before you now as proof that you should never believe that something is impossible to do. In America, the impossible is what we do the best…….

From New York to Los Angeles, from Philadelphia to Phoenix, from Chicago to Miami, from Houston to….Washington D.C., our country was forged and built by the generations of patriots who gave everything they had for our rights and for our freedom….

We are one people, one family, and one glorious nation under God. So, to every parent who dreams for their child and every child who dreams for their future, I am with you, I will fight for you and I will win for you…..

We will be a nation like no other, full of compassion, courage and exceptionalism….

We will not be conquered, we will not be intimidated, we will not be broken and we will not fail. From this day on, the United States of America will be a free, sovereign and independent nation.  

We will stand bravely, we will live proudly, we will dream boldly and nothing will stand in our way because we are Americans. The future is ours, and our Golden Age has just begun.” 

God Bless President Trump! God Bless Arizona! God Bless America!

If we work together, there is nothing we cannot do and no dream we cannot achieve…..

I stand before you now as proof that you should never believe that something is impossible to do. In America, the impossible is what we do the best…….

From New York to Los Angeles, from Philadelphia to Phoenix, from Chicago to Miami, from Houston to….Washington D.C., our country was forged and built by the generations of patriots who gave everything they had for our rights and for our freedom….

We are one people, one family, and one glorious nation under God. So, to every parent who dreams for their child and every child who dreams for their future, I am with you, I will fight for you and I will win for you…..

We will be a nation like no other, full of compassion, courage and exceptionalism….

We will not be conquered, we will not be intimidated, we will not be broken and we will not fail. From this day on, the United States of America will be a free, sovereign and independent nation.  

We will stand bravely, we will live proudly, we will dream boldly and nothing will stand in our way because we are Americans. The future is ours, and our Golden Age has just begun.” 

God Bless President Trump! God Bless Arizona! God Bless America!

President’s Message January 2025

  

Happy New Year! Hard to believe the holidays have passed and we are on to new things: New Year, new U.S. House, new U.S. Senate, new Arizona House and Senate. And, by the Grace of God, a new President and new leaders for our great country!  In 2 short days, our favorite President returns to the White House. Are we excited? I’m thinking that is a BIG, FAT YES! We have been blessed with an opportunity! 

General Flynn writes a very eloquent article on December 2nd. I’d like to quote him and relay his very well said message. 

“Our generation has produced few serious political leaders. That is our fault. We all own that.

A harsh critic observed that We - Who grew up in the era of John F Kennedy, have given way to a generation obsessed with finding the right school to raise our youth, pay off the mortgage, having two holidays a year and dinner parties. With sounding clever when slurping a glass of overpriced wine in a cheap restaurant. 

It is said that we value consumption over sacrifice or service; feelings over substance; individual rights over responsibilities. That when we die, we look back and realize we created nothing. Stood for nothing. Pushed back against nothing. Took no risk. That the institutions we joined and loved rotted from below while we walked on the sunny upper decks enjoying our temporary self-importance. 

As a result of this need to climb the consumption ladder, we select leaders that make us feel good rather than those that can actually lead. Where are the leaders who take risk in difficult times, keeping in mind the betterment of their community over their concerns for reelection? For far too long our “leaders” have lacked the ability to inspire through confidence, courage and endurance, leaving us wanting and on a circular path of diminishing progress. 

We carry on about “democracy” yet do nothing with it. We no longer find true fellowship and camaraderie within our churches, not read our bible to our children. Instead, we obsess about insignificant issues such as social media and the appearance of perfection. 

We gorge on sentimentality – sharing quotes of our founding fathers and others throughout history that left their imprints, while craving true words of wisdom and direction in these turbulent times. Yet, we are left with redundant messages of hope and change manufactured by speech writers. 

As for the U.S. Government as a whole: I am not suited to what it has become. With the exception of a few, it is a cesspool of those who have made compromises for campaign financing and won on the basis of theatrics opposed to merit, determination and moral strength.

My views are no longer relevant to an Army that seeks to be something other than what it needs to be. The mission of fighting and winning our nation’s wars has been overshadowed by a bureaucratic system that’s lost hope of just how precious a human life is and favors an unceasing wealth forging war machine. 

I don’t know what the answer is to all of this, or whether President Trump can turn the tides in four years. But what I do feel is that our generation is to blame. We haven’t fought hard enough, haven’t participated enough, haven’t done enough…and that applies to all of us. 

The world is enamored by President Trump and the opportunity for a genuine leader to be placed in a position of epic power, as this has not happened in decades. He offers a vision of greatness built on hard work and endurance. Where success is only worth something because it isn’t guaranteed. He truly loves America, but he cannot restore American values on his own. As a free people, we must weigh in together alongside him and do our part. 

We have been blessed with an opportunity. A brief moment in time to guide the future of our nation and we must seize this gift which has been given. 

Our children must be taught how to think, not what to think. Our priorities need examination and renovation. This is the time to reinforce what it means to be a leader in the free world, and what we would risk to maintain the biblical position on the world’s stage.” 

General Flynn is spot on! 

Trump doesn’t view winning the election as a victory. He views enacting his America First agenda and doing it successfully and efficiently so that all Americans, when he leaves office, are grateful and appreciative that he brought some common sense to America. Now, we all must unite and move this country forward to an America we very much need and want!

God Bless President Trump! God Bless Arizona! God Bless America!

President's Message

 

  • 1President’s Address11-15-25Welcome!   My   name   is   Donna   Rhodes-Brown,   President   of   the   SCG Republican Club.  This is our final meeting for the year.  The year has flown by!  To all the Board Members, please stand.  Thank you!  Please give them a round of applause.  Thank you to all our members for supporting our club. We appreciate you and thank each of you!  And, as always, thank you all for being here.  Don’t forget m to follow us on social media and our website.Veteran’s Day was this past Tuesday.   We honor every man and woman who has worn our nation’s uniform.   My dad was one of them, a Navy Captain.  You are the strength behind America’s freedom. You’ve stood tall in defense of our flag, our families, and our way of life. You faced danger not for glory, but out of devotion to your country, your brothers and sisters in arms, and the generations who would follow in liberty’s light.You’ve shown courage in the face of danger, discipline in the face of hardship, and honor in every challenge. Your example reminds us that freedom is never free; it is earned through courage, faith, and sacrifice.So to all of you, in our audience, we honor you and thank you for your service.  And God bless you all!Firstly, a few administrative items:  you will see a list of the board members on the screen.  All positions of the board have been filled and all members have been elected/re-elected to the board for 2026.  Thank you to those of you who voted and thank you to each board member for helping our club. In case you wanted to know, we’ve also added a slide of the propositions and questions that we voted on in November.   You can see that most of them passed.  Ok, moving on… 
  • 2The Schumer shut down.  The longest shut down in history just ended.  The government   has   been   reopened   at   the   cost   of   $14B   in   lost   economic revenue by the shutdown.  And the Democrats gained nothing,There is always so much to talk about with our favorite President in office. Abe Hamadeh, our Representative for CD8, is here today and will fill you in on Trump’s White House and administration.  I will let him do the talking on all that.  I’d like to spend a few minutes talking about the race in NYC and what that means for NY and for all of us.Zohran   Mamdami   swept   into   office   Tuesday   night   as   NYC’s   youngest mayor in modern history, riding a wave of socialist promises to fight for working families  against the establishment elite.   Gen Z backed him in droves, Jewish voters appeared to ignore his long anti-Semitic history, and he won the election easily.   His campaign painted a picture of a different kind of leader - one who would stand with struggling New Yorkers against the powerful interests that have made the city unaffordable for ordinary people.  The   capital   of   American   capitalism,   a   longtime   beacon   of   prosperity, opportunity, and innovation, has just been elected its first openly socialist mayor.  He has promised to punish the wealthy, crack down on landlords, freeze rents; open city-run grocery stores, make public transit free, and tackle the city’s crime through “mental health services”, whatever that may entail.  During   the   longest   government   shutdown   in   U.S.   history,   with   families facing an affordability crisis that has sent residents fleeing the state, voters believed they were electing someone who understands their struggles. The victory speech hadn’t even grown cold before reality set in.  And while New York families worry about making the rent  and federal  workers go without paychecks, the champion of the working class packed his bags and jetted off for Puerto Rico.  From  Representative  Mike  Lawler,  “If   Zohran   Mamdami  is  truly  serious about helping working families; he wouldn’t be jetting off to a luxury resort  
  • 3the moment he wins an election.  It’s a disgrace and now why New Yorkers are leaving the state in droves.”That assessment captures what many New Yorkers are feeling as  they watch the “revolutionary” new mayor!So what does this mean for New York’s future?  Mamdani   defends   his   positions   as   grounded   in   commitment   to   human rights for all, a principle few would argue against in theory.  Yet the practical fallout of his policies could strain New York’s historic relationships, both domestically and abroad.The   mayor-elect’s   rise   reflects   a   broader   cultural   shift,   one   where progressive ideals are increasingly clashing with established norms.   It’s about how far a city leader can push against national consensus before the pushback becomes untenable.  Will Mamdani’s tenure redefine New York’s identity?  As   the   debate   unfolds,   the   eyes   of   the   nation   are   on   NYC,   watching whether Mamdani’s bold vision will unite or divide.   Alan Dershowitz, an American   lawyer   and   law   professor,   warns   of   a   slippery   slope,   but Mamdani’s supporters see a champion for justice.  Dershowitz has branded him a danger to both America and Jewish interests.  Dershowitz isn’t just upset about Mamdani’s views; he’s alarmed by what his election represents.  He argues it sends a troubling signal that someone with controversial positions can ascend to high office in a major U.S. city. That’s a wakeup call for those who value traditional alliances. NYC’s   newly   elected   mayor   has   repeatedly   expressed   hostility   toward Israel,   while   simultaneously   defending   Hamas’   actions.     He   has   also refused multiple times to condemn the slogan “globalize the intifada” as he prepares to take over a city with a 12 percent Jewish population, one of the largest in the country.He embodies little more than the image of a privileged idealist, born into comfort, now seeking to impose an economic ideology that only the well-off  
  • 4and ignorant can afford to take seriously.  Only time will tell if this clash of values finds a middle ground or fractures further.  It would be wise to exercise caution and closely monitor how Mamdani governs.  While his socialist agenda may be toned down as he assumes office and discovers the complexities of government, even diluted versions of his policies could serve to normalize and popularize socialism across the rest of the country.His victory will send a clear signal to the Democratic establishment:  their days of merely flirting with socialism are over. Its full embrace is now seen as viable within the party, with 66% of Democrats supporting socialism over capitalism, according to Gallup polls.  Do you recognize this photo?  Josef Stalin?  He was once a hip, intellectual atheist   and   Democratic   Socialist   that   led   protests   against   the   rich   and powerful.     Rose   to   power,   promising   equality,   then   took   over   private industry, leading to mass poverty and famine.   He killed 20 million of his own people.  Socialism, a failed ideology, discredited by history through the figures like Stalin,   Mao,   and   others,   has   found   a   foothold   in   one   of   the   largest economic centers in the United States, and no one is sure what exactly that will mean for the future.God Bless President Trump! God Bless Arizona! God Bless America!
