2026: The Year America Begins to Rise Again
2026 will be nothing short of extraordinary.
Christian Vezilj | January 1, 2026
As the United States approaches its 250th birthday, many Americans believe the nation stands at a pivotal moment — a moment when the groundwork laid in 2025 is preparing the way for a profound national renewal in 2026. Supporters of the current direction argue that the past year has not simply been a period of political change or economic adjustment, but a time of structural rebuilding, cultural reawakening, and spiritual restoration. We see 2025 as a year of preparation, and 2026 as the year when the results of that preparation will become unmistakably visible. To understand the magnitude of what many expect in 2026, one must first understand what 2025 represented. It was a year of stabilization, reorientation, and reconstruction — a year in which the nation began to reclaim its identity, restore its institutions, and reassert its place in the world. It was not a year of instant gratification, but a year of laying foundations. And in the life of a nation, foundations are everything.
A Reassertion of Sovereignty and Security
One of the most visible shifts in 2025 was the renewed emphasis on national sovereignty and border security. There has been a dramatic decline in unlawful border crossings and a renewed focus on law and order, particularly regarding the removal of illegal aliens with emphasis on criminals. These efforts restored a sense of order and predictability at the nation’s borders — something many Americans had long desired. The goal was not exclusion but protection: protection of communities, protection of national integrity, and protection of the social fabric that binds a diverse nation together. A nation cannot thrive economically, culturally, or spiritually if it is uncertain about its own borders or its own laws. By reasserting control in 2025, the United States positioned itself for a more secure and confident future.
Economic Realignment and the Seeds of Growth
In 2025, new tariff policies and reshoring incentives boosted investor confidence, leading to increased capital in American industries. The stock market hit record highs as the United States regained its role as a hub for innovation and manufacturing.
