“Zohran Mamdani is now New York City’s first Democratic Socialist Mayor-elect, and with him comes a slew of initiatives marketed as making the Big Apple more affordable, safer, and more equitable. While this sounds good in theory (as political promises often do), Mamdani’s champagne socialism will only push rich New Yorkers away from the city, and leave the middle and working classes to foot the bill.” (11/06/25)

“In politics, migrations rarely happen all at once. They start quietly — one or two members of a herd moving toward safer ground while the rest pretend not to notice. But once the wind really changes, the movement becomes unmistakable. I believe that a migration has begun within the Republican Party. The first signs are visible. A few Republican members of Congress — some of them proud standard-bearers of the MAGA movement — have begun to distance themselves from President Donald Trump. … Republicans running in midterm races are going to face a choice. They can cling, as many Democrats did in 2024, to an economic message that ignores reality. Or they can begin the slow, necessary work of reclaiming the party of free markets and global engagement. The Republicans most likely to lead this migration are those senators not on the ballot in 2026. They have time, insulation and perhaps a touch of perspective.” (11/06/25)

“Nonintervention is not isolationism; it is wisdom born of bitter experience. The notion that American military might can resolve Nigeria’s deep-seated religious and ethnic strife ignores the region’s complexities and invites catastrophe. To understand why, we must first unpack Nigeria’s fractured landscape — a mosaic of peoples, faiths, and histories that no external force can redraw without spilling rivers of blood. From there, the annals of past ‘humanitarian’ interventions reveal a grim pattern: promises of salvation masking bids for regime change, yielding chaos that endures for generations.” (11/06/25)
