A graphic with a dark navy header band containing white text, flanked by two circular presidential-style seal emblems (eagle with "45" and "47"), above a thin gold stripe. Below is a line chart on a white background with a thick blue line. The y-axis runs 0 to 30 and the x-axis runs from just before FEB to NOV. The line starts near 25 in Jan–Feb and stays flat through early March. It then drops steeply to about 9 in mid-March, where a red arrow points at the low with the red label "Hormuz shuts". The line stays near 9–10 through April and May, then climbs through June to a peak near 27–28 in July. It falls to about 23 in August, dips near 21 in early September, and ends around 23 in late September/early October. A black label "2025 average level" sits at the top left of the chart near the 25 level, and a green "100%" is at the right at about the same height. The chart has no unit label on the y-axis and no data source. It is a promotional-style graphic asserting that oil has returned to its pre-war level after the Strait of Hormuz closed.

We, the citizens of America, are now joined in a great national effort to rebuild our country and restore its promise for all of our people. Together we will determine the course of America and the world for many, many years to come. We will face challenges, we will confront hardships, but we will get the job done. For too long a small group in our nation's capital has reaped the rewards of government, while the people have borne the cost. The forgotten men and women of our country will be forgotten no longer. What truly matters is not which party controls our government, but whether our government is controlled by the people. Every decision on trade, on taxes, on immigration, on foreign affairs, will be made to benefit American workers and American families. We must protect our borders from the ravages of other countries, making our products, stealing our companies, and destroying our jobs. America will start winning again, winning like never before. At the bedrock of our politics will be a total allegiance to the United States of America. Through our loyalty to our country, we will rediscover our loyalty to each other. We must speak our minds openly, debate our disagreements honestly, but always pursue solidarity. Do not allow anyone to tell you that it cannot be done. No challenge can match the heart and fight and spirit of America.

What you are seeing is Donald Trump on the precipice of the greatest comeback in American political history. We've never seen anything like this. Who's here? He has risen from the ashes, yet again. The Fox News decision desk can now officially project that Donald Trump will become the 37th president of the United States. The golden age of America begins right now. From this day forward, our country will flourish and be respected again all over the world. During every single day of the Trump administration, I will very simply put America first.

For more than 50 years, the Kennedy Center has stood along the Potomac as a living memorial to President John F. Kennedy, in America's home for the performing arts. Millions have come through its doors to experience music, theater, dance, history, and culture. Yet behind the marble facade, above the ceilings, and beneath the foundation, critical systems are failing. Above the iconic walkways, wrapping the building's exterior, lower roof drainage failures have saturated the massive overhead panels, severely corroding the steel supports that hold them in place. One third of these 278 soffit panels require immediate replacement, and over 95% exhibit significant corrosion. Each panel weighs up to 2,500 pounds, suspended 60 feet directly above active pedestrian pathways. In the parking garage, decades of water infiltration have degraded structural concrete and severely corroded structural steel. Temporary shoring towers now hold up deteriorating slabs directly above active drive lanes, while key steel beams exhibit section loss of up to 40%. This degradation reaches further into the subterranean service tunnel and loading docks. Chronic water intrusion has compromised joints and fractured concrete slabs overhead, creating immediate life safety risks across this primary transit pipeline that serves every backstage space. On September 4th, the risk became a reality. In the Grand Foyer, water damage caused a 4 by 5 foot section of plaster to break free from the ceiling and fall 60 feet to the floor. A security officer had cleared the area just minutes earlier. Other locations along the Grand Foyer ceiling show similar signs of trapped moisture and deterioration. Under the front plaza, active leaks threaten the center's primary electrical infrastructure. Because this high-voltage equipment from the 1960s lacks modern downstream disconnects, major repairs or component failures require shutting down power to two-thirds of the building. The central chillers and boilers that heat and cool the complex are operating years past their engineered service life, leaving the facility vulnerable to catastrophic mechanical failure and rendering basic climate control increasingly unmanageable. And for 30 years, a failed filtration system has allowed unfiltered Potomac River water to contribute to buildup, corrosion, and additional strain on the center's aging cooling equipment. The challenges extend to the stages themselves. Backstage in the Opera House, critical theatrical rigging, and overhead production systems are decades beyond their intended service life. An independent engineering report recommended major replacement as far back as 2002, yet much of that equipment remains in use above performers and crews today. Taken individually, these are major capital projects. Together, they represent compounding systemic failures that temporary shoring and piecemeal repairs can no longer mitigate. This is not about demolition. A planned temporary closure of the main facility is the only path to overhaul these compounding hazards, modernize critical plant and stage technology, and safeguard this national memorial for generations to come. But a temporary closure does not mean silencing our mission. By activating the reach and expanding off-site artistic, educational, and civic programming, the center will remain vibrant while this essential overhaul is completed. It also means preparing for a historic grand reopening, delivering a renewed national home for artists, audiences, and future generations. The work ahead is significant, but so is the opportunity, and lasting stewardship requires action today.

You know, it's always an honor for me to be in the Oval Office with the greatest president of my lifetime. Yes, I said it, and I meant it. You know, I was just, I just got home last night. I toured the border in California, Arizona, and Texas. I did it on a four-wheel drive, I did it on the river, I did it from the air. Hundreds upon hundreds of miles of border. I didn't see one illegal alien. Not a single one. I've done this since 1984. I worked for six different presidents. No one has done more than President Trump. What he has done is gave us the most secure border in the history of this nation. Hard to stop. I went to hundreds of miles of border and didn't see one illegal alien. Incredible, considering the Biden administration, we had 10,000, 12,000 a day. Most released in the United States. I'm proud to be with these patriots behind me. I'm already proud to be in the Oval Office of the President, but being with these heroes, I met some of these soldiers down on the border. And actually, a shout out to Fort Drum, New York. We got some 10th Mountain division here, so at least upon it, Claudia 10, we all love Fort Drum and the 10th Mountain. So look, this is a game changer. I want to make something perfectly clear. Could we get attacked all the time being inhumane? The Biden administration is much more humane. It's just a bunch of crap. Because there's been studies done that 31% of women that make that journey through the cartels get sexually assaulted. They get raped. And not just the women, children too. I've done numerous investigations in that. Sex trafficking was a historic highs with an open border. Fat no, historic highs that killed a quarter million Americans. No inspected terrorists that came across the border. Record historic. What happened under Biden administration was the most inhumane thing I've seen in my lifetime. Now that the border is 96% decline, 96% less people are coming. How many women aren't being raped? How many children aren't dying making that journey? How many women and children aren't being sex trafficked into this country every day? How many known suspected terrorists aren't just walking across that border? President Trump in this administration is saving thousands of lives every month. Hard to stop. That's just a stone cold fact. I'm just proud to be a part of this. I work with Steve Miller every day. Steve Miller is one of the most brilliant people I've met in my entire life. President Trump bought together one hell of a team here and the success proved. We all working together, one team, one fight. We're not done yet. We're going to keep going and I guarantee we can continue saving thousands and thousands of lives. Secure border means strong national security. Secure border saves lives. Thank you.

Peace in the Korean Peninsula, which hasn't been achieved since the armistice in the 1950s. President Trump has single-handedly toppled Maduro, freed the people of Venezuela and secured the greatest boon for America's energy and supply chains probably in the history of our country. He's taken the fight to the drug cartels, declared them a foreign terrorist organization, used military power to fight these enemies of human civilization. And as you have mentioned, he stopped Iran, the Islamic theocracy of Iran, from obtaining a nuclear weapon that could destroy an entire city. And now you come at home. He's unleashed American energy. He's building pipelines. He's bringing the price of gas down from the heinous highs of the Biden administration. He's taken inflation from the highest level in American history down to 2 percent, the largest tax cut in American history, no tax on tips, no tax on Social Security, no tax on overtime. And he took the most unsecured, dangerous, violent, hellish border in the history of our republic, and 15 straight months, Sean, of zero releases, zero into the country.

Obama cut the nuclear deal and then delivered to Iran an enormous amount of cash and turned a blind eye basically to the proxies and the missiles and drones. So if you think of Iran's defense posture as being a triad of the nuclear program proxies and disruptive military capabilities, we got in one leg of the triad we got temporary and reversible restrictions and then a complete green light to the Iranians to develop everything else. So that was I think a huge mistake in American strategy and Donald Trump has reversed that and he has returned deterrence and the credible threat of military force to the equation. And for that alone I give him an A. I give him an A+ for that. It's absolutely necessary. You can hear a lot of arguments especially when talking to our European friends, they say that the Strait of Hormuz was open before the war, now it's closed, the problem hasn't been solved, it's just been worsened and so on. And my answer to that very simply is what was your plan to stop Iran from developing a nuclear weapon? What was your plan from stopping Iran from putting its nuclear program behind a wall of missiles and drones that was going to exact that if allowed to continue to develop was going to exact such a high price from the United States if it attacked them that we would never be able to use them, we wouldn't have the military option. So I think that what Donald Trump did was absolutely necessary if he hadn't done it, what the Americans and the Israelis together did was absolutely necessary, if he hadn't done it then every American base in the region was under threat and we were going to have a nuclear armed Iran in very short order, the price of doing anything about it was going to become prohibitive and we also had an Iran that could be the proxy of China in the event that we were to go, that China was to make a play for Taiwan, it would be able to close the Strait of Hormuz and the Baba Mandeb and so on. So I think we need to also see it in that global level. So I give him very very high marks for taking this on and expending the political capital that it took to do it.

- For incredibly good reason, Trace. Look, as has already been said several times tonight, this is the most consequential leader that we've ever seen, not just in the United States of America, but I think worldwide, and I think that's why he faces as much opposition as he does. And with that, that's why he's loved the way that he is. And I think for someone like him, I like to imagine myself back on that campaign in 2016, the few times I got to either interact with him or see him come and talk to our team, it's almost like he was prepared back then, over 10 years ago, knowing this is exactly what was going to happen. Knowing he was not going to be another leader that went in and did absolutely nothing, and knowing that with those strong actions and with that courage, unfortunately, would come some really dark days, but also some incredibly bright ones as well.

It is not the critic who counts. Not the man who points out how the strongman stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred with dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs, who comes up short again and again because there is no effort without error and shortcoming, but who does actually strive to do the deeds, who knows great enthusiasts, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those whole or intended souls who neither know victory nor death.

I want to just go back a little bit in history if I have time briefly. President Trump single-handedly stopped Iran from getting a nuclear weapon. Beginning in term one, when he tore up the JCPOA, Obama's Iran nuclear deal that made them richer and more powerful than ever before, gave them cold hard cash, gave them hundreds of billions of dollars in financial support, and gave them a direct path to a nuclear weapon, which would not only change the balance of power in the Middle East, not only change the balance of power in the region, but change the balance of power in the whole world. Nuclear blackmail on planet Earth, its commerce, its energy, its trade, its national security. President Trump then, of course, took out Soleimani, one of the evil masterminds of so much bloodshed and mayhem across planet Earth. Then, Operation Midnight Hammer obliterates their nuclear weapons program, and now with Operation Epic Fury, he has decapitated Iran's leadership, he has destroyed their navy, destroyed their air force, destroyed their defense industrial base, all of these things to protect peace, safety, and security in the world. Now, there's a new team in place in Iran, and a result of these negotiations, the United States is closer than ever before to inking an agreement that is going to finally create the roadmap for peace, security, and prosperity in the Middle East, and for solving this nuclear program once and for all. This is an extraordinary, momentous fulcrum point in the history of the world, and President Trump alone deserves the credit for bringing us to this point. I couldn't be prouder to be part of this administration and watch this happen and play out in real time.

This is a digitally illustrated (watercolor-style) meme image with bold black text reading "AMERICA IS BACK!" across the top. Below it is an idyllic, nostalgic-style illustration of a suburban American street scene: three young boys playing baseball/stickball in the street (one in a red shirt holding a bat under a tree, one in a white shirt near the middle of the street holding a bat, and one in a blue shirt running with a red glove chasing a ball). The street is lined with white clapboard houses with porches, an American flag hanging from one house's porch, two bicycles parked on a lawn, green trees, and a soft pastel sky suggesting late afternoon/sunset. The overall style evokes a wholesome, retro Americana aesthetic reminiscent of mid-20th-century illustration or Norman Rockwell-style art.

A screenshot of a Daily Signal article headlined "America Sees a Huge Decline in Crime Thanks to Trump and Republicans," bylined Steve Marshall. Below the headline is a photo of Donald Trump at a podium (visible microphone), wearing a dark suit and gold tie, making a fist gesture with a satisfied/smirking expression, standing in an ornate room with chandeliers and columns (appears to be the White House). Below the photo is body text of the article crediting the Trump administration and Republicans for a decline in violent crime, citing FBI data on murder rate decline, fentanyl seizures, and gang/criminal enterprise interceptions.

Text in image: DAILY SIGNAL America Sees a Huge Decline in Crime Thanks to Trump and Republicans STEVE MARSHALL Across America, violent crime is on an impressive decline. The FBI recently shared new data, illustrating a 20% decrease in the nationwide murder rate. Additionally, violent criminals and drugs are being taken off our streets, helping to make communities safer for thousands across the country. Most notably, there has been a 31% increase in the number of kilograms of fentanyl seized, plus a 210% increase in the number of gangs and criminal enterprises intercepted. After years of a raging fentanyl epidemic, ending the lives of half a million Americans, we are finally drawing the line thanks to steadfast policing and straightforward policies. These remarkable changes could not have been achieved without our country's heroic law enforcement and support from the highest levels of government. 1

A screenshot of page 2 of a printed text document (article or op-ed), plain black serif text on white background, with two underlined hyperlinked phrases ("Council on Criminal Justice" and "three weeks") and a page number "2" at the bottom right. The text argues that crime has declined under Trump's policies, citing law enforcement resourcing, policing strategies, National Guard deployment, and crime statistics.

Text in image: Under President Donald Trump, our agents have the resources and morale to focus on counternarcotics initiatives and "America First" crime-fighting. These crime reductions should not be recognized as a one-off shift, but as evidence of well-functioning institutions. When our law enforcement agencies operate with stable staffing, abundant resources, and competent command structures, they thrive at keeping Americans safe. Strategies such as hot-spot policing, gun-violence interception, and repeat-offender targeting have shown to reduce crime when implemented consistently. Some police forces in U.S. cities were dilapidated after the mainstreaming of anti-cop rhetoric in 2020. However, it's important to note that when cities rebuild their police forces after periods of attrition, they tend to see faster reductions in crime. When they operate at full capacity, law enforcement gets the job done, which means deterring more crime and keeping Americans safe. According to the Council on Criminal Justice, " … Violent crime overall in 2025 was at or below levels in 2019, the year prior to the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic and racial justice protests of 2020." Specifically, homicide, aggravated assault, gun assault, sexual assault, domestic violence, and robberies are all on the decline. These declines are evident in cities across the country, including the nation's capital. In January, the District of Columbia went three weeks without a homicide. Only two murders were reported for the entire month, a significant slowdown after crime had reached a historic high in 2023. Additionally, Trump's deployment of the National Guard has also contributed to the decrease in crime. Two of the top five cities with the steepest homicide declines, Los Angeles and Washington, had guardsmen present in the past year. When law enforcement knows that the guy at the top has their back, they're confident in their ability to perform. Policymakers at the state and federal levels cannot hesitate to support our law enforcement and ensure they feel protected and equipped. 2

I'll be doing, hopefully, a very powerful teller rally tonight for a friend of mine, Ed Galrein, who is a fantastic man, a fantastic hero, war hero, farmer from Kentucky's running against the worst congressman, in my opinion, worst Republican congressman in the history of our country. The guy's a total disaster, and you know who it is, Thomas Massey is the worst. So we have to get out and vote. We have to make sure that Ed gets there. I mean, Ed left the Republican Party because he couldn't stand Massey, couldn't stand watching him, couldn't stand how disloyal he was to your president. He left the Republican Party, but he came back, and he came back strong. He couldn't stand Massey, and neither can I, a bad guy. So get out and vote. Thanks a lot. Bye.

Do you remember what it was like when the 2020 election was rigged and stolen? Do you remember all the bullshit stories people told you about how the fraudulent election would be overturned? Do you remember the symbols of tyranny when fences went up around DC for Joe Biden's inauguration? Do you remember watching fuel and food prices skyrocket in a matter of months? Do you remember watching our borders being invaded by a virtual army of unidentified criminals? Do you remember watching our nation get systematically destroyed for four years by the Joe Biden auto-pin administration? Do you remember longing for the days of winning when we had Donald Trump in the White House? Do you remember thinking he was going to die when the bullet aimed at his brain only grazed his ear? Do you remember rejoicing after witnessing the miracle that saved his life? Do you remember celebrating the epic landslide victory in November of 2024? This is what you hoped for. This is what you prayed for. This is what you voted for. So why are you questioning every decision he makes now that he's back in office? God didn't save his life so he could make mistakes. He knows what he's doing. Maybe it's time to shut the fuck up and let him cook. This has been a public service announcement paid for by the Dilly meme team.
