It’s not every day that a Chief Justice of the Supreme Court steps into the political arena to rebuke a sitting president—especially one from the same party that appointed him. But that’s exactly what happened when Chief Justice John Roberts responded to President Trump’s call to impeach U.S. District Judge James Boasberg. Trump’s demand came…
Trump’s Deportation Play: Right Goal, Wrong Move
A federal judge has temporarily blocked President Trump’s attempt to use the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 to deport alleged members of the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua, and honestly? It’s not surprising. While deporting violent criminals should be a top priority, using an obscure wartime law to do so was a mistake—legally, politically, and…
Trump, Tesla, and the Thin Line Between Protest and Crime
Last week, we witnessed a fascinating clash of politics, business, and law and order. On one side, we had President Trump browsing a sleek red Tesla on the White House driveway, a symbolic show of support for Elon Musk’s company. On the other, we had radical activists ramping up their attacks on Tesla dealerships, with…
Putin’s Hypocrisy, Trump’s Diplomacy, and Ukraine’s Survival
In the complex and often contradictory world of international politics, few scenarios highlight hypocrisy more starkly than Russia's stance on the ongoing conflict with Ukraine. President Vladimir Putin's insistence that peace negotiations cannot proceed while Ukraine controls any part of Russia's Kursk region, juxtaposed with Russia's occupation of Ukrainian territory, epitomizes a glaring double standard.…
Trump’s Tariff Turmoil: How Uncertainty is Hurting American Businesses and Consumers
If there’s one thing businesses hate more than taxes, regulations, or even competition, it’s uncertainty. They can adapt to challenges, but they need a stable economic environment to plan, invest, and grow. Unfortunately, President Trump’s erratic handling of tariffs—especially on Canadian steel and aluminum—is introducing exactly the kind of unpredictability that disrupts economic growth. On…
Andrew Cuomo’s Mayoral Bid: Redemption or Political Rebranding?
Andrew Cuomo running for mayor of New York City? Now that’s a plot twist no one saw coming—except maybe Cuomo himself. Three years after resigning in disgrace, the former governor is attempting the mother of all political comebacks, betting that New Yorkers have short memories and even shorter attention spans. The question isn’t just whether…
Trump’s Address: A Defiant Speech, a Dysfunctional Opposition, and the State of the Nation
President Trump’s latest address to Congress was a masterclass in defiance, a blend of policy, bravado, and political theater. It was everything we’ve come to expect from him—bold, brash, and unapologetic. Love him or hate him, the man doesn’t mince words. He doubled down on his key campaign promises, threw out some well-aimed jabs at…
Trump’s Ukraine Gambit: Siding with the Bully, Abandoning the Victim
In a move that has left Ukraine scrambling and Putin smirking, President Trump has ordered a "pause" on all U.S. military aid to Ukraine. This decision, made after a tense meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, is yet another signal that Trump is more interested in forcing Ukraine to capitulate than in standing up to…
Why Ukraine Still Matters
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy arrived in Washington last week with high hopes. He was expecting tough conversations, yes, but also the reinforcement of an alliance that has been critical to Ukraine’s survival. The centerpiece of his visit was supposed to be a minerals deal—one that would give the U.S. a tangible economic stake in Ukraine’s…
Trump, Zelenskyy, and the Weight of War
Yesterday’s White House meeting between President Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy was a high-stakes diplomatic encounter that revealed much about where both leaders—and their respective nations—stand on the war in Ukraine.
