If stepping down truly reflects responsibility, it should increase, not diminish, scrutiny: audits should expand, subpoenas should continue, institutional reforms should be enforced, beneficiaries of fraud should be named. Anything less converts resignation into absolution—and teaches future officials exactly how to escape the heat without ever facing the fire.

What this administration is doing is internally consistent with how it thinks about power, legitimacy, and time—and it is not a continuation of the Bush-Obama era nation-building model that the media keeps dragging out of storage every time the United States acts abroad.

France is not merely defending borders or laws; it is defending a civic model in which citizenship is individual, secular, and equal. MB-inspired entryism challenges this by advancing communal mediation between the citizen and the state, eroding the universalist foundation of the Republic.

There’s a long-running public record that the U.S. has pursued criminal cases against Maduro and senior Venezuelan figures. The DOJ announced in March 2020 that Maduro and others were charged, describing narco-terrorism / drug trafficking-related allegations (and related conduct). Department of Justice

New York City has adopted leadership and personnel practices that predictably degrade public-safety capacity. The outcome—talent flight, command dilution, and declining service effectiveness—is already observable in the New York City Police Department. The same structural choices now place the Fire Department of the City of New York at similar risk.

Religious differences are a foregone conclusion—but even within Islam, there is no unanimity beyond a shared anxiety among ruling elites: that mass ideological movements, especially those cloaked in religious legitimacy, threaten their hold on power.

The October 7 attack on Israel accelerated these dynamics globally. Israel’s long-standing image of total intelligence control and military dominance shattered in real time. In a post-trust information environment, failure is read as complicity and secrecy as guilt. Conspiracy narratives did not spread because they were persuasive; they spread because no authoritative, public truth framework filled the void. Silence and minimal disclosure were interpreted as narrative weaknes

The Trump administration recently recalled nearly 30 career diplomats, including U.S. ambassadors from 15 African nations, as part of an effort to realign diplomatic personnel with the President’s America First agenda. The affected countries include Algeria, Burundi, Cameroon, Cape Verde, Côte d’Ivoire, Egypt, Gabon, Madagascar, Mauritius, Niger, Nigeria, Rwanda, Senegal, Somalia, and Uganda. All of the recalled ambassadors had assumed their posts during the prior Biden admin

Venezuela’s oil crisis is not the result of a single policy failure or sanctions alone. It is the outcome of geology, economics, and governance colliding. Venezuela possesses enormous oil resources, but they are overwhelmingly extra-heavy, capital-intensive, and unforgiving of mismanagement. When the country nationalized its oil sector and expelled international oil companies (IOCs), it removed the only actors capable of operating such assets sustainably.

Venezuela’s oil is vast in volume but poor in quality, ruinously expensive to rehabilitate, and politically radioactive to invest in. The idea that the United States—or any rational actor—would pursue regime change purely for this oil ignores geology, engineering, finance, and history.

The new approach is simple: U.S. funds pay for frontline outcomes — medicines, diagnostics, and health workers — not NGO overhead. Partner countries must co-invest, meet performance metrics, and deliver measurable results. Bilateral compacts replace open-ended grants. Accountability is contractual, not aspirational. If nations don’t meet benchmarks, funding shifts elsewhere. This is not moralizing. This is not dependency. This is a deal.

The difference between Islam as a religion and Islamism as a political ideology is essential. Militant Islamists justify their political agenda by citing explicit passages from the Qur’an and Hadith.

There is an unmistakable pattern whenever Donald Trump attempts to elevate strong, patriotic leaders inside the U.S. Armed Forces: suddenly, anonymous sources appear, allegations harden into “facts,” and the entire Washington bureaucracy works overtime to destroy that individual before he can rise.

At the end of all this — a $7 million fraud, a wife who walked, a husband acquitted despite the jury’s verdict, and a judge willing to override all twelve jurors — the core question remains untouched: Where is the missing money?

The individual identified publicly as “Rahmanullah Lakanwal” is either misidentified, traveling under a substituted identity, or has had a backstory artificially assigned to him for political or bureaucratic reasons.

Reagan did this with New York’s mayors in the 1980s.Clinton did it with big-city mayors in the 90s.But Trump, in this political climate, doing it with a self-identified socialist?That is a power move.

But this narrative has one fatal flaw: It assumes China will always have goods worth shipping — and that America will always need China’s ships to receive them. The reality is very different, and the numbers tell a far more sobering story for Beijing.

Economists estimate the U.S. is short over 650,000 construction and skilled trade workers, a number projected to grow as reshoring accelerates.^9 Unions Are Uniquely Positioned to Fill the Gap Trade unions—if reformed—could: Train tens of thousands of workers rapidly Provide structured apprenticeships Offer healthcare and retirement benefits without federal expansion Rebuild America’s eroded middle class Revitalize post-industrial cities through dignified w

There is a moment in public policy where incompetence crosses the line into something worse: indifference to the public good. The Edgewood ostrich cull is that moment for Canada.

Augustine never asked his readers to withdraw from the world. Christians, he wrote, must live as “resident aliens,” working for the peace of the earthly city while belonging to the heavenly one. This dual citizenship requires discernment: to engage without surrender, to love without idolizing.
