What’s Next: A Wake-Up Call from the Streets of Washington, D.C

It is with great difficulty—but even greater urgency—that this is written in the wake of a horrifying act of terrorism in our nation’s capital. The brutal, premeditated murder of Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Milgrim, two Israeli Embassy staffers, was not a random act of violence. It was an act of ideological warfare. The assailant, a “Pro-Hamas,” “Free Palestine” radical, executed a deliberate act of terror on American soil. And yet, silence echoes from the very institutions sworn to protect us.

This atrocity is more than a tragic crime—it is a warning flare from the heart of Washington, D.C., signaling that America is no longer merely under ideological siege. The gates have been breached. The enemy is not approaching; it is within.

But how did we get here? Why are mobs of students at elite American universities rallying behind the banner of terrorist sympathizers? Why are our streets flooded with anti-Semitic slogans, chants of “intifada,” and open support for Hamas—the very group that just orchestrated one of the most barbaric civilian massacres in modern memory?

For those who have observed the slow decay of the American soul over the past forty years, the answer is clear and undeniable: we are at war from within, and the architects of this internal collapse are twofold.

Enemy One: The Marxist Left

The American Marxist Left has spent the last four decades systematically dismantling the moral, spiritual, and intellectual framework of Western Civilization. In its place, it has erected a cult of moral relativism, sexual confusion, identity chaos, and historical amnesia. It has raised a generation that scoffs at truth, denies its own heritage, and lacks any tether to faith, country, reason or reality.

This cultural rot has created a gaping vacuum—a civilization hollowed out from within. And nature, as always, abhors a vacuum.

Enemy Two: The Islamic invaders Ideologues

Into this void steps a second, more ancient enemy: radical Islamists who have no intention of assimilating into the American way of life. They are not here to embrace liberty, but to exploit it. Their mission is not integration, but subjugation. They openly declare it, write about it, plan it, and preach it. They weaponize religious doctrine to wage cultural and ideological jihad, using our freedoms as tools for conquest. While some Islamic nations are turning away from fundamentalism, radicals embedded in the West are doubling down—more emboldened, more militant, and more entrenched than ever.

And now, thanks to the Marxist erosion of our defenses—moral, spiritual, and literal—they are succeeding.

These two forces—Marxism and Radical Islam—form an unholy alliance. One weakens the host, and the other invades the body. One dismantles cultural immune systems, the other infects the weakened soul. Together, they represent the most potent existential threat this nation has faced since its founding.

They are not outside the walls. They are inside. Loud. Aggressive. And unchecked.

So What Comes Next?

Do Americans have the will to fight back? To reclaim what has been lost? Or will we follow Europe into submission, allowing our cities to be transformed into no-go zones of moral confusion and ideological surrender?

The answer must be a resounding yes—we can fight back. But only if we act decisively.

  1. Reclaim our National Identity – The foundation of the American Republic is not found in cultural fads or imported ideologies. It rests on the bedrock of Judeo-Christian values and principles which are the roots of the Western civilization, a return to belief in absolute truth and justice. That foundation must be rebuilt with urgency and without apology.
  2. Restore Courage and Resolve – Weakness invites aggression. These enemies respect only strength. They interpret negotiation as surrender and compromise as permission. We must rediscover the language of strength and moral conviction.
  3. Preserve the Second Amendment – The one remaining advantage we hold over a crumbling Europe is the right to bear arms. It is not merely a privilege—it is a deterrent. It is a declaration that tyranny, whether foreign or domestic, will not go unanswered.
  4. Halt Immigration from Radicalized Regions – Until a serious vetting and cultural assimilation policy is implemented, we must halt immigration from nations whose dominant ideologies reject the very values that define the American Republic.

This is not alarmism—it is realism. This is not bigotry—it is survival. A free nation cannot long endure while it invites in its enemies and elevates those who hate it to positions of influence, power, and immunity.

The murders in Washington, D.C. are not isolated. They are the inevitable result of ideological rot and political cowardice. If this nation is to remain free, strong, and anchored to its founding truths, then now—not next year, not next election—is the time for resistance, restoration, and righteous resolve.  We must restore and preserve the Christian Civilization and the American way of life for our children and for the rest of the world.
