For more than 50 years, Gallup polls have asked the public what they think of our system. Last week, Gallup released its financial results for the year, and the results were very worrying.
Only one in four Americans trust the president or the Supreme Court. I have less than half that confidence in the Congress I work for. But it’s not just the government that has lost the trust of the American people.
According to Gallup, the percentage of Americans who have “extremely” or “extremely” trust in the church, health care system, Supreme Court, public schools, newspapers, TV news, banks, and the presidency, respectively, is higher than it was 50 years ago.

These numbers should sound alarm bells for anyone interested in the country.
I believe they are also a scathing indictment of the country’s strong shift to the left over the past 50 years. According to Gallup, small businesses and the military are the only organizations that have gained widespread respect over the past 50 years.
What do these two institutions have in common? They have been a stronghold of resistance against the American Left. Small businesses are resisting demands for higher taxes and regulations, and the military is completely out of politics.
No wonder Democrats in Washington are trying so hard to catch them.
Through the tireless efforts of President Donald Trump, we can see that trust in our institutions is slowly starting to grow again. But over the past two years, the Left has been obsessed with transforming the military from the world’s greatest killing machine into a mere organ of liberal social engineering.

Just days later, Joe Biden issued mandatory vaccinations, which discharged more than 8,000 patriots from the military. A year later, it suffered the worst recruitment shortage in the history of a volunteer-only army. Hiring numbers will be even worse this year.
The most political Department of Defense in our history is also the least successful in our history. It’s no coincidence.

Hits keep coming. Since March, the Pentagon has spent taxpayers’ money on travel and extra paid leave to get abortions for military personnel and their children, which Congress has neither approved nor appropriated. We are currently recruiting non-binary ambassadors to perform drag queens on Navy ships.
This is not the army my father served patriotically.
To politicize the military would be a tragedy in any country.
