THE WALL

Mayor Zohran Mamdani probably cannot have Benjamin Netanyahu arrested in New York City—but the threat still matters. The ICC warrant accuses Netanyahu of war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza, yet federal law, diplomatic immunity and America’s refusal to recognize ICC authority stand in the way.

Trump didn’t drain the swamp. He rebranded it, franchised it, and started charging admission.

The old scams were steaks, vodka, casinos, and fake universities. This one came with Secret Service.

I’m voting for Brad Raffensperger on May 19 — not because I became MAGA, but because Georgia’s open primary system gives voters leverage. This race is not about party loyalty. It is about blocking the worst version of Trumpism, protecting election integrity, and thinking past November. Bottoms may still be my general-election move. But in this primary, I’m voting the board.
