Are you and your family better off than you were two years ago?

Under two years of Democrats’ control of Washington, inflation is surging, energy prices are through the roof, crime is out of control and a record number of illegal immigrants have flooded across our open southern border, bringing fentanyl and other drugs that killed more than 100,000 young Americans last year.

We deserve better than this far-left socialism. Everything costs more because of Biden and Pelosi’s rampant spending – from the food you buy at the grocery store to the gas you pay for at the pump. Compared to last year, gas prices rose 18.2% and groceries prices increased by 13%.

A Republican House will pass bills to reverse the damage and prioritize your economic security. We will pass bills to rein in inflation, cut your taxes, and make it more affordable for you to pursue your dreams and raise a family. Your financial security will be our top priority, and we’re ready to clean up the mess that Biden and Pelosi have made.

In the summer of 2020, big cities were burned and looted by far-left thugs and rioters. In the midst of all the chaos, opportunists ransacked every store in sight. Our police officers were the first ones to charge into danger and protect the innocent from violence and looting. Despite their heroism, Democrats labeled law enforcement officers as racists and embraced the radical “Defund the Police” movement.

This is unacceptable.

Now, as a result of leftist leaders slashing their local police departments’ budgets and ending cash bail, violent criminals are back on the streets and emboldened by the liberals who coddle them. Democrats’ soft-on-crime policies have led to an increase in murders and violent crime across the country.

More than 15 U.S. cities, including Atlanta, Georgia; Austin, Texas; and St. Paul, Minnesota, saw 2021 homicide numbers shatter previous records.

How can Biden and Pelosi justify supporting left-wing mobs and protesters over the law enforcement heroes who protect our communities and keep us safe?

Republicans will always stand with the brave men and women in blue. If Republicans are in charge, we’ll give local police departments the tools they need to keep our communities safe, which will bolster public safety and reduce crime. We will fight back against far-left district attorneys and prosecutors who do more to protect criminals than the victims they terrorize.

In addition to the lawlessness we’re seeing in Democrat-run cities, we’re also seeing the damage done by the Biden administration’s open-door immigration policies.

Let’s be clear: Border security is national security.

Over 3.5 million illegal immigrants have been apprehended trying to enter the United States in the past 18 months under President Biden – more than eight years of apprehensions under the Obama administration.

Every town is now a border town because Democrats have surrendered control of our southern border to illegal immigrants and drug cartels.

Fentanyl is the leading cause of death for Americans between the ages of 18 and 45, and this can be directly traced to Biden turning operational control of our southern border over to drug cartels who are smuggling their deadly drugs into every community in America.

President Biden’s own DEA Administrator said that cartels smuggling fentanyl into the country are “killing Americans at an unprecedented rate.”

If Republicans are in charge, we’ll secure the border and stop the illicit flow of drugs that are poisoning our kids and our communities.

From the moment Joe Biden became President, Democrats put their far-left priorities over the needs of the American people. Big government socialism has been an absolute disaster for this country.

Republicans want all families to have an equal opportunity to achieve the American Dream – from the veteran that honorably served our country to the mom-and-pop business that is struggling to keep their doors open.

We are ready to govern. We’re ready to show up to work, roll up our sleeves and deliver real results for the hardworking families of America. That is our commitment to you.

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
