Americans for Limited Government

The Unanimous Declaration Of The Thirteen United States Of America dailytorch.com/2026/07/the-u… “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.”

The Globalists Are Setting The Trap dailytorch.com/2026/10/the-g… Every week there is another “hint” or outright declaration that war is coming to Europe. The designated bad guy in the mounting calls to soak the world in blood is, of course, Russia. Nobody explains how a country of less than 150 million people threatens Europe and the United States with a combined population of 800 million and an economic base that is many multiples of that in Russia. But no matter — the global elites clearly want war and they are single focused on provoking one. Most recently the head of the British Army gave away the script. General Sire Roly Walker advised that the political leadership in the UK are looking to start a “frank conversation” with the general public about the need to prepare for war. He went further in a talk to a group of British troops saying that, “our citizens have got to consent to sacrifices to prioritize defence and security of the nation.” This follows the comments made by Conservative Party savant Member of Parliament Jacob Rees-Mogg that Britain was likely to be in a war in the next several years and that it was “the duty” of every citizen to do as they are asked to prevent the loss of sovereignty. And just this last week, the British Defence Secretary, John Healey, the equivalent of our Secretary of War, called on citizens to prepare for a coming war. He openly predicted that within the next 1,000 days — three years — Britian could be at war. Stark. Terrorizing. Pure propaganda designed to regiment the entire population.

Trump Is Delivering On Border Security With The Lowest Number Of Illegal Border Crossings In U.S. History In FY 2026 dailytorch.com/2026/10/trump… @realDonaldTrump During President Trump’s second term, the foreign-born population has plummeted by a record 2.9 million, according to an analysis conducted by the Center for Immigration Studies (CIS). CIS estimates that the illegal immigrant population has fallen by a startling 2.3 million. This comes after the foreign-born population ballooned under former President Joe Biden. Under Biden, the foreign-born population increased by 8.3 million, the largest increase in any four-year period in American history, according to CIS. The White House also reported in October that close to 1.2 million illegal aliens have been deported or removed, and there have been close to 1.3 million illegal alien arrests. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has also recorded the lowest level of illegal border crossings in U.S. history in FY 2026 under President Trump, a 95 percent plummet from Biden-era levels. In an Oct. 16 memo, DHS announced there have been fewer than 99,000 arrests at the southern border in FY 2026, a 95 percent decline from the over 1.8 million crossings annually under President Biden.

GDP Up 3.4% In Third Quarter As Fed Holds Rates Steady And Sticky Inflation Keeps Grip dailytorch.com/2026/10/gdp-u… The Federal Reserve held the federal funds rate steady at 3.75 percent to 4 percent range following an interest rate hike in the face of sticky consumer and producer inflation data published by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, growing at 3.7 percent and 6.3 percent the past 12 months respectively as of September. According to the Fed’s statement: “Economic activity is expanding at a strong pace. While uncertainty remains elevated owing, in part, to geopolitical developments, domestic spending has been resilient. Productivity growth is strong, and capital investment is robust. Job gains have kept pace with the workforce, and the unemployment rate has changed little. Inflation remains elevated.” The central bank was right about growth, as the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) just came in at 3.4 percent growth annualized in the third quarter of 2026, according to the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis. That’s great news. The pause in interest rate hikes came after a 0.25 percent rate hike in September and after the prior three consecutive 0.25 percent rate cuts in September, October and December 2025 prior to the resumption of the Iran war in February that sent oil and natural gas prices up as global distribution was disrupted out of the Persian Gulf. Now, oil is over $100 a barrel again. Gasoline prices are $4.30 a gallon. The economy’s growing, but so are prices. In truth, the September report also shows substantial disinflation, for example, food prices did not grow at all. And when you just look at core inflation without food and energy, consumer prices only grew 2.6 percent. If oil prices do indeed come down this year and in 2027, the numbers will look a lot different.

The Rise Of Russia And A Leader Who Reminded Many Of "The Cold War." youtube.com/watch?v=DJb-G2mY… As Russia emerged from the ashes of the Soviet Union, there were events that reminded many of "The Cold War." The nation continued to bring about bloodshed as a new, young leader emerged. His name was Vladimir Putin and he made many think of the leaders of "The Cold War" and the KGB.

New FBI Statistics Show Crime Plummeting To Numbers Not Seen Since 1950s Under President Trump dailytorch.com/2026/10/as-el… @realDonaldTrump @AGToddBlanche @FBIDirectorKash According to crime statistics released Aug. 24 from the FBI, which aggregate data from the previous year to calculate crime rates, violent crime fell 9.3 percent in 2025, the sharpest year-over-year decline since the FBI began aggregating crime data in 1936. While liberal skeptics are reluctant to attribute the decline to President Donald Trump’s robust anti-crime approach — including an executive order aimed at strengthening protections for law enforcement and $300 million in grants through the Model Cities Initiative to fund equipment and training for officers — the data does not lie. According to the FBI, murder and nonnegligent manslaughter plummeted 18.1 percent in 2025 compared to 2024, robbery dropped 18.5 percent, sexual assault fell 7.6 percent, and aggravated assault fell 7.2 percent. The estimated murder rate plummeted to 4.1 per 100,000 individuals, a number not seen since the 1950s and the lowest since the FBI began recording national crime measures. Other crimes plummeted as well, with property crime declining an average of 12.4 percentage points since 2024, burglary falling 15.8 percent, larceny falling 9.8 percent, and auto theft declining 22.7 percent, according to the report.

As The Midterms Approach, Power Bills Are On The Ballot dcjournal.com/as-the-midterm… As the Nov. 3 Election Day fast approaches, America’s regional power grids offer a revealing lesson in affordability and reliability. With nearly half of registered voters saying the cost of living will be the single most important factor in deciding their vote this fall, Americans’ power bills are on the ballot. One reason those bills are under pressure is that demand is growing faster than supply. The Energy Information Administration expects U.S. electricity consumption to reach record levels this year and next year, as the economy grows, manufacturing expands and Americans use more electricity in their daily lives. The challenge is making sure we build enough new power, fast enough, without driving up costs. PJM, the nation’s largest power market, offers a warning about what happens when demand grows faster than supply. Its latest auction for future power supplies hit the maximum price allowed, yet the region still failed to secure as much power as it says it will need and attracted very little new generation. In other words, people are paying more for electricity while the region still struggles to build enough new power. That should be a warning for policymakers everywhere. When it takes too long to build new energy infrastructure, everyone can pay the price. That is why the President has made “energy addition, not subtraction” a guiding principle. It means using every source that can reliably put power on the grid, from natural gas and nuclear to solar and storage. Each has a role to play. What matters most for families facing higher bills is how quickly new supply can actually come online.

NYT Poll Shows Tighter Senate Race As Latinos, Young People, And Independents Move Right dailytorch.com/2026/10/new-y… The latest New York Times/Siena College poll of 3,494 voters, conducted from Oct. 12–19, reveals that the battle for the U.S. Senate is tightening with just days ahead of congressional midterm election compared to Times/Siena polling conducted Sept. 8–13. The overall spread is closer in the latest survey than it was in mid-September: 47 percent of likely voters plan to support the named Democratic candidate for the U.S. Senate on Election Day, while 43 percent plan to support the named Republican, representing a four-point lead for Democrats. In the mid-September poll, the Democratic Senate candidate held a six-point advantage, with voters planning to support the Democratic candidate 49 percent to 43 percent. The mid-September question excluded the races in Alaska, Delaware, Idaho, New Hampshire, and Rhode Island, where Senate candidates were not yet resolved when the survey was conducted. While Democrats remain ahead with Election Day less than two weeks away, the party has seen its advantage narrow slightly. Digging deeper into the crosstabs from both surveys reveals where that shift is occurring. Key swing groups — including Latinos, young voters and independents —still plan to vote for Democrats by double-digit margins according to the survey, but those margins have shrunk since September.

Whistling Past The Graveyard dailytorch.com/2026/10/whist… This struggle began with a group of issues and political tactics that will sound very familiar to most Americans. In 1910 and 1911, forces based in Wall Street and London grew angry at the policies of President Howard Taft. Among them were issues with tariffs and the role of the government over private property and resources. Taft favored tough tariffs to protect American industry and was a staunch defender of private property rights. Those opposed to him embraced the British model of total free trade regardless of the impact on local industry and advocated for government increasing control over land and natural resources regardless of ownership. Ultimately they sought government ownership or control through excessive regulation and taxation. Seeing that the upcoming election in 1912 would validate the Taft policies, these forces used a common tactic of divide and conquer. They persuaded former President Teddy Roosvelt to seek the Presidency. He did so and split the vote so that the worst person to ever occupy the Office of the President, college President Woodrow Wilson, was elected with 41 percent of the vote. The damage done by this coup still haunts us today. The many direct attacks on the Constitution and the fabric of the nation are too many to list in this article, but they are the source of most of the problems that America faces.

Races Tighten With Election Day Around Corner As Democrats Plot To Retake The U.S. Senate dailytorch.com/2026/10/races… With Republicans holding a 53–47 majority in the U.S. Senate, Democrats must pick up a net of four Senate seats in order to gain a majority on Election Day. Two weeks out from the election, Senate races are tightening in key contests across the country. The contentious Michigan Senate race has progressive Abdul El-Sayed leading former Congressman Mike Rogers by a narrow 2.6 percentage points in the latest Real Clear Polling average. An Insider Advantage survey of 1,200 likely voters from Oct. 9–10 shows El-Sayed leading Rogers by just two points, 48 percent to 46 percent. Comparing a Quantus Insights survey conducted Oct. 5–6 to exit polls for the Michigan governor’s race four years ago, El-Sayed is struggling to pick up swing voters that Gov. Gretchen Whitmer won by wide double-digit margins. Suburbanites have flipped since 2022 according to the poll. While Whitmer won suburban voters by nine points, they now plan to support Rogers by two points. El-Sayed is also underperforming compared to Whitmer among women, college-educated voters, and Black voters, signaling that Democrats’ risky choice in rallying behind El-Sayed in the primary may backfire on Election Day. The decline in the Black vote for the Democratic candidate could make the Michigan Senate race closer than expected. While El-Sayed captures the overwhelming majority of Black voters in the Quantus survey — leading Rogers by 64 points, 79 percent to 15 percent — that lead for the Democratic party has shrunk since 2022. Whitmer won the Black vote by 88 points in 2022 (94 percent to 6 percent). With Mike Rogers polling at 15 percent among Black voters, the vote for Republicans has more than doubled. The Democratic advantage has shrunk from an 88-point margin for Whitmer to a 64-point margin for El-Sayed.

Union bosses are waging war on President Trump's agenda while lobbying Republicans for support. They've sued the administration more than 70 times and spent millions backing Democrats. Why should Republicans help them pass the Faster Labor Contracts Act?
