The Kennedy Center Honors rolled out the red carpet once again, but this year, it wasn’t just a parade of tired Hollywood elites and left-wing agitators pretending to celebrate American greatness. At the forefront was legendary rock band KISS, those unapologetic icons who embody true American grit and rebellious spirit. Their presence was a slap in the face to the usual parade of politically correct, virtue-signaling hacks that dominate these cultural ceremonies. Finally, there was a breath of fresh air—a reminder that real American culture isn’t dead, it’s just been buried under a mountain of globalist nonsense.
And let’s talk about the real star of the show: President Donald Trump. While the so-called “mainstream media” tries to paint him as a divisive figure, here he was, taking questions after the ceremony, unafraid and unfiltered. He stood as a patriotic counterweight to the glittering parade of celebrity virtue posturing. The liberal media can’t stand to see a strong, America-first leader command the room—even at events typically dominated by the coastal elite. Trump’s presence was a reminder that the silent majority still exists, and they’re not buying the left’s version of culture anymore.
Americans are done with woke garbage.
We want entertainment, art, & beauty.
Last night, the 48th Kennedy Center Honors delivered the purest form of that.

What’s truly striking about the Kennedy Center Honors is how it remains a stage for the globalist, anti-American elite to parade their manufactured “heroes.” The same people who degrade traditional values and openly court radical ideologies. These are the cultural gatekeepers who have spent decades erasing true American history and mocking patriotism. But seeing KISS, a band that never bowed to the politically correct crowd, take center stage signals cracks in the left’s cultural monopoly. It’s a small win, but an important one for patriots fed up with Hollywood’s woke agenda.
Don’t be fooled: the Kennedy Center, like so many so-called “prestigious” cultural institutions, is still a hotbed of liberal elitism. Behind the polite smiles and fancy dresses lurks an agenda bent on globalism and the destruction of American exceptionalism. Yet, whenever conservative voices like Trump or authentic cultural icons like KISS show up, they expose the shallow veneer of these ceremonies. It’s the culture war on display—and the left is losing ground, whether they admit it or not.
At the end of the day, America deserves better than a red carpet filled with hand-wringing hypocrites and cultural vandals. The real stars are those who still believe in the American dream, who fight against relentless leftist attacks on history, faith, and freedom. So here’s a question for the next Kennedy Center Honors: Will you continue to honor those who tear America down, or will you start celebrating those who build her back up? The choice is clear—and so is the future.
