One of the most meaningful moments in President Donald Trump's speech Tuesday night was when a young man from Texas "who truly loves our police," DJ Daniel, was made an honorary member of the United States Secret Service. Daniel, who is 13 years old now, was diagnosed with brain cancer in 2018 and given five months to live. Thankfully, that prediction was wrong, and since that time DJ and his father "have been on a quest to make his dream come true," Trump explained, and "DJ has been sworn in as an honorary law enforcement officer many times," with various agencies across the country.
13-year-old D.J. Daniel was diagnosed with brain cancer and given five months to live — and that was six years ago.

Today, DJ and his family visited Trump in the Oval Office, where DJ told the President he had one more thing for him, "A big hug."

This kid has a heart of gold, probably because of all he's been forced to endure at such a young age. When another young man in the audience, Jason Hartley, also had his dream come true during the speech - a dream of attending West Point - DJ, who was sitting behind Jason, went and congratulated him with a high-five.
America is back.

Rep. Laura Gillen from New York was the only Democrat who stood for DJ Daniel during the speech, and the extremely callous attitude displayed by both Congressional Democrats and their mouthpieces on the failing cable news networks has shown Americans exactly who they are - and, as my colleague Susie Moore covered, Americans don't like it one bit.
But I don't want to focus on their hatred and anger; frankly, it's a reflection of how miserable they must be. I'd rather focus on the spirit of America - the America of happiness, joy, innovation, hope, justice, liberty, et cetera - that filled the House chamber and all of the country last night and the Oval Office today.
President Trump's speech to a joint session of Congress has radical Democrats in panic mode, and their childish protests won't stop all of the winning.
