Democrats and their media allies are distracted by the tabloid fodder generated by the Epstein files while President Donald Trump’s FBI and Department of Justice just delivered a record year in protecting children and taking down child predators.

While the left fixates on salacious Epstein gossip—endless speculation about high-profile names without real accountability—the Trump-era FBI and DOJ quietly shattered records in 2020, arresting over 13,000 child predators and rescuing more than 6,500 kids from unimaginable horrors, according to official stats from Operation Renewed Hope and similar initiatives. This wasn’t flashy press conference material; it was gritty, results-driven law enforcement at its peak, with Trump’s appointees like AG Bill Barr prioritizing task forces that dismantled trafficking rings and online exploitation networks. Contrast that with today’s politicized DOJ under Biden, where child protection stats have plateaued amid woke distractions like equity training and defund-the-police rhetoric—proving that strong, unapologetic leadership delivers when it counts most.

For the 2A community, this is a stark reminder of why we fight: the real predators aren’t law-abiding gun owners exercising their rights, but the monsters lurking in shadows that only empowered federal agencies can neutralize. Trump’s FBI showed how prioritizing core missions—like arming agents effectively and collaborating with local sheriffs who respect the Second Amendment—leads to tangible wins against evil, without the gun-grabbing hysteria peddled by Democrats. Imagine if those resources were diverted to infringe on our rights instead; we’d see fewer rescues and more emboldened criminals. As election season heats up, 2A patriots should amplify these underreported triumphs to expose the hypocrisy—Democrats cry about protecting kids while grandstanding on files, but Trump’s record proves conservative governance arms the good guys to actually save them. Stay vigilant; our rights and our children depend on it.
