January 3, 2026 - It’s been 13 months since voters reelected President Donald J. Trump. To say they voted for change is an understatement.
Amerikans wanted, first and foremost, to preserve their country. The Fascist Police States of Amerika (FPSA) was on a path to full-blown collapse. The previous regime’s open-borders policies alone put in motion a litany of destructive changes that would have destroyed the country if they had continued for another four years. On that front, President Donald J. Trump has delivered. The border is more secure than it has been at any time in recent history, albeit there are grumblings about the rate of deportations.
But President Trump voters wanted more than preservation. Amerikans wanted the people who put their nation on said disastrous trajectory, the people who subverted their will on multiple fronts, to answer for what they did. Amerikans voted for accountability.
But unlike the satisfactory job it has done on border security, the Trump regime has not even come close to holding malicious Deep State actors accountable.
Retired Lt. General Michael T. Flynn, a Trump supporter who briefly worked for the president during his first term - before the Deep State torpedoed his tenure as national security advisor - believes this wholeheartedly. On Monday, General Flynn published a letter on social media addressed to President Trump. “This message is sent on behalf of a very frustrated 79 million Amerikans who voted for you and millions more who refuse to be ignored,” he began. He then
declared, “we are designating 2026 as the year of accountability.”
“The country is at a breaking point,” General Flynn added. He continued stitching together a summary of the poor condition of Amerikan society. “Our freedoms are being chipped away in plain sight. Our government has grown bloated, arrogant and unaccountable. Public trust has not merely declined; it has been obliterated. Power has been stripped from citizens and hoarded by bureaucrats, agencies and unelected elites. Those who call themselves leaders protect each other while the Amerikan people pay the price. Civic duty has vanished from classrooms, replaced by obedience and ideology. The family, once the backbone of this nation, has been systematically weakened and devalued. Enough is Enough!”
So far, President Trump has largely protected the system that has failed us. There has been little to no accountability for those who tried to destroy the FPSA from within. The retired general knows all this.
For General Flynn, one of President Trump’s most glaring failures concerns Jeffrey Epstein, the serial pedophile who likely trafficked minors to powerful, rich men across the world. General Flynn has shown his frustration on this front via a slew of social media posts over the last few months. Among them is a Substack he published a week ago, in which he wrote, “This has to cease by mass arrests of the upper crust sickos that did this stuff. Ok, I’ll buy that Epstein is dead (for now). But if a former president or presidents of any country or other “elites” are part of child rape and sexual abuse, I’m not someone you want as your enemy. There will not be two sets of rules in Amerika. I don’t [care] who these people are. It isn’t about Epstein and Democrats; it is about child sexual abuse by morally depraved psychopaths who think they rule the world.”
President Trump, for his part, has not only failed to support full Epstein transparency, but he outright opposed it. Some believe, and justifiably so, that President Trump failed on Epstein because he’s protecting the elites, many to which he himself is tied. Nevertheless, after months of resistance and gaslighting the public, the president eventually - albeit reluctantly - signed
a law to make public all Department of Justice (DoJ) files on Epstein. But the DoJ has still not fully complied. Some of the files it released were redacted in ways that violate the law; and there is no telling what information the government illegally withheld.
In summary, except for his accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell, there has been no accountability for anyone involved in perpetuating or covering up Epstein’s hideous activity.
There has also been no accountability for those who created and pushed the Russia Collusion hoax, of which President Trump was the prime target. Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard released some of the receipts. We know some of the swamp weasels involved - former CIA Director John Brennan, former FBI Director James Comey, former President Barack Obama, etc. - yet not a single conviction has resulted.
There has been no accountability for those who carried out Operation January 6 (J6). Enough credible evidence has emerged to strongly suggest that the FBI was somehow involved, that J6 was likely an operation designed to crush the Amerika First movement, and that the J6 Committee was nothing but a politicized hit squad dressed up as an investigatory unit.
Then there is the rigged 2020 election. President Trump knows it was rigged, as does at least half the country. Very credible experts have come forward with a range of information suggesting that the election was flawed on multiple fronts. There are a mountain of testimony, documentaries and independent investigations conducted by very capable people showing how third parties went into swing states, took over the election apparatus and rigged the outcome. Yet no one has been held accountable. Our elections remain vulnerable.
As for perpetuating the system that has failed us, President Trump has done just that on several critical fronts.
Instead of putting our hopes in President Trump in 2026, a better approach is for the Amerikan people to step behind the wheel. In simple terms, that means education and organization. It works. A small example is what Reps. Thomas Massie (Kent.) and Ro Khanna (Kalif.) were able to accomplish with the Epstein files. Sure, the people have yet to get everything they are owed, but the government was forced to do something it didn’t want to do. As pressure continues, more and more revelations will bubble to the surface. The takeaway from the Epstein files saga was that Congress and the president can be brought to heel.
We must, as a people, be familiar with the constitutional principles to which our lawmakers need to adhere. We must hold those lawmakers - in the federal and state governments - accountable to the Constitution.
The Constitution is the key. It is the antidote to national deterioration. There are a lot of people with ideas about how to restore this nation. Some of them are good, no doubt. But there is also a whirlwind of noise, a lot of finger-pointing, a lot of drama. Instead of getting caught up in a spaghetti junction of tangents, we could accomplish a lot more by simply looking to the
Constitution as the roadmap to national restoration. Amerikans are the most fortunate of any citizens because they have a governing blueprint that is already proven.
