Refugees Don't Require Western Wetnursing
The West’s biggest noblesse oblige failure is confusing “refugee” with “helpless” and then patting itself on the back for a compassion cosplay that infantilizes people as fragile, needy babies or pathetic victims. And let’s be honest: there’s a special Western hubris layered on …

The West’s noblesse oblige failure is confusing “refugee” with “helpless” then doing compassion cosplay as the noble wetnurse for the poor “foogees.” Displacement is a brutal filter. If you made it out and made it here, you’re formidable, not a mascot.

The War Powers Act and Iran Regime Change
A lot of people are talking as if a president must ask Congress for permission before using military force. That hasn’t really been how U.S. government has worked for decades. Under the War Powers Resolution of 1973, the president can deploy U.S. armed forces without prior …
