RNLA President and Executive Director Michael Thielen was published by the DC Journal on February 26, 2026. The op-ed highlights the massive gains made by President Trump and his administration during the first year of his second term.
From "A Tale of Two States of the Union — America’s Back":
National pride is returning across many areas of American life because it’s genuinely refreshing to have a president who just loves to revel in American greatness.
Trump did not stand at the dais to lecture Americans and denigrate our founders. No, Trump stood triumphant at the microphone to proclaim that “less than five months from now, our country will celebrate an epic milestone in American history, the 250th anniversary of our glorious American independence.”
America is in a much stronger position in 2026 than at any point during the Biden administration, and he makes it fun.
