Trump's Peace Deal; Letitia James Indicted; and Columbus Day Returns

From Gaza to New York, the Week Ends with Justice, Irony, and an Unexpected Celebration of Heritage

Friday brought something you don’t see much anymore. Good news. Real, tangible good news. While the media was busy pretending nothing positive ever happens under Donald Trump, he quietly did what presidents and diplomats for decades couldn’t. He ended a war.

The Peace President Returns

President Trump’s new Gaza peace deal, brokered between Israel and Hamas, has officially been approved by the Israeli cabinet. Hostages are coming home.

Trump himself said, “We secured the release of all the remaining hostages, and they should be released on Monday or Tuesday.” Even critics who have spent eight years calling him unfit were forced to admit that this was a serious diplomatic achievement.

As Clay Travis and Buck Sexton noted, this is Trump’s second major peace breakthrough in the Middle East. The first being the Abraham Accords. Think about that. Two separate agreements in one political lifetime, both achieved without caving to terrorists or funding the enemies of the West. Meanwhile, Joe Biden once bragged about “calm” while Afghanistan collapsed. The contrast writes itself.

Lawfare Boomerangs Back

While Trump was restoring peace overseas, justice came knocking stateside.
New York Attorney General Letitia James, who built her entire political career on “getting Trump,” has been indicted by a federal grand jury on charges of mortgage fraud and lying about her primary residence.

Megyn Kelly opened her show with the news, pointing out the obvious: if you have to say “I am fearless,” you probably aren’t. James once accused Trump of “fraud against the people of New York.” Now she’s the one facing the very charge she weaponized for headlines. Irony doesn’t get much cleaner than that.

And when CNN’s panelists rushed to defend her suggesting, “Everyone does this,” Kelly’s reaction said it all: Do we all commit mortgage fraud now?

This moment isn’t just poetic justice. It’s proof that the left’s lawfare tactics have finally hit the boomerang stage. When you normalize using the justice system as a political weapon, eventually the barrel points the other way.

A Culture Trying to Rediscover Its Backbone

While Trump was negotiating ceasefires, Michael Knowles was celebrating something else entirely. The resurrection of Columbus Day. After years of activist pressure to replace it with “Indigenous Peoples Day,” Trump’s declaration brings it back in full force. “Columbus Day, we’re back. Italians, we’re back,” Knowles laughed.

That moment was more than nostalgia. It was cultural defiance. A reminder that it’s okay to honor exploration, courage, and achievement. Values that once defined the American character before the Left tried to shame them out of existence.

And in typical Trump fashion, it wasn’t just symbolism. It was a clear signal that this administration is done apologizing for Western civilization.

The Rest of the Story

The Senate continues to stonewall any deal to reopen the government, a shutdown now stretching into its tenth day. At the same time, a brutal murder case involving an illegal immigrant, apprehended after a multi-state manhunt, underscored exactly why border enforcement remains central to this administration’s mission.

Meanwhile, Clay and Buck brought it full circle, interviewing Virginia Attorney General Jason Miyares about the Democrat challenger whose leaked texts fantasized about killing cops and political opponents. The scandal that would have ended any Republican’s career in five seconds has barely made a ripple in legacy media coverage.

It’s a stark reminder that moral outrage in America has become a partisan weapon.

A Week to Remember

So let’s recap the week:
Trump ends a war.
Democrats lose their moral high ground.
The left’s lawfare crusader gets indicted.
And Columbus Day, the holiday they canceled, makes a triumphant return.

It’s been a week where the storylines flipped: peace instead of chaos, justice instead of hypocrisy, and a country trying to remember who it used to be.

Have a great weekend, Patriots.
We’ll see you Monday.
