We live in the greatest nation in the history of the world, and American exceptionalism is something we should never apologize for. In our 245-year history, our nation has risen from its humble beginnings to become a beacon of freedom and a force for good throughout the world.

Unfortunately, our nation’s foreign policy at times has felt like a horribly played hand of Texas Hold ’em, wasted away by apologetic, weak leaders who are ashamed and embarrassed by just how great of a country they were elected to lead.
