The Patriot Post: Early-May Issue 2025

Greetings Fellow Patriots!

Dear FCREC Members and Patriots,

As we step into May, we’re riding a wave of momentum that’s energizing conservatives across Flagler County. With the 2024 elections behind us and 2025 shaping up to be a year of strategic groundwork and renewed focus.

Already this month, we came together for a successful Kentucky Derby Watch Party—blending tradition, community spirit, and a touch of friendly competition. It was a reminder that while our work is serious, our fellowship is strong and spirited. Thank you to everyone who attended and helped make it a success.

As we look ahead, May is about mobilization. From voter registration efforts to policy discussions and outreach events, FCREC is hard at work laying the foundation for long-term impact. We’re strengthening our committees, expanding our digital presence, and preparing for a season of civic engagement that will keep Flagler red and thriving.

In this issue, you’ll find:

• A recap of President Trump's 100 Days of Greatness.🎉

• Updates on upcoming meetings, initiatives, and volunteer opportunities 📅

• A recap of recent events and photos from the Derby Watch Party 📸

• Spotlights on committee work and community impact highlights 🌟

• Calls to action—because every voice and every hour of service matters 🗳️

Let’s keep building together, one conversation, one event, and one election at a time.

Stay informed, stay involved, and stay proud to be a part of FCREC.

Onward and upward.

President Trump’s First 100 Days: A Strong Start for America’s Comeback 

President Donald J. Trump has hit the ground running in his historic return to the White House. In just his first 100 days back in office, the 47th President has made it clear: America First is back—and stronger than ever.

From Day One, President Trump has focused on restoring strength at home and abroad. He signed a flurry of executive actions aimed at securing the southern border, restoring energy independence, and reversing the Biden-era regulatory overreach that burdened American businesses and families. Border wall construction has resumed, and immigration enforcement has returned to the forefront of national policy.

On the economic front, the Trump administration has moved swiftly to unleash American industry, rolling back stifling regulations, reviving job growth initiatives, and pushing forward with tax reforms aimed at helping working families and small businesses thrive. Consumer confidence is rising, and American manufacturing is once again getting the boost it deserves.

Abroad, President Trump is reasserting America’s strength on the world stage—standing firm against adversaries and reaffirming our commitment to peace through strength. Diplomatic efforts are back in America’s favor, with a renewed focus on fair trade and holding foreign nations accountable.

Here at home, the mood has shifted. Patriotism is rising. Law and order are being prioritized. And Americans are once again seeing a president who puts country before politics and citizens before special interests.

The first 100 days have set the tone for what promises to be a transformative term. As supporters and proud conservatives, it’s our job to stay engaged, informed, and involved—because the work of restoring this great nation is just getting started.
