New York Should Re-Elect Mayor Eric Adams

 I wasn't born in New York. I grew up west of Fort Worth, in a town where the cattle outnumber the folks and nobody locks their truck at the gas station. But I've hauled freight through all five boroughs more times than I can count. I've seen the skyline at 3 a.m., rolling across the George Washington Bridge. I've seen the best and worst of that city up close.

And I'm telling you–it's worth saving.

This November, New Yorkers have a choice. And if I lived there, I'd be voting for Eric Adams.

He's Not Perfect–But He's Grounded

Eric Adams ain't no saint. He's said some things I wouldn't say and made decisions I wouldn't make. But here's the truth: the man walks the beat he used to patrol. He knows the subway doesn't run on hashtags. He's not trying to tear the system down so he can "reimagine" it with buzzwords. He's trying to fix what's broken.

And in a time when most politicians are busy building their brand, Adams has kept showing up to do the job.

Working-Class City, Working-Class Mayor

Most of the people who scream the loudest about how bad Adams is don't live in the neighborhoods that deal with open drug use, smash-and-grabs, or overloaded shelters. They've never stayed up late wondering if their store would be looted –or if their kid could walk home safe.

Adams has. And he knows who's paying the price when bad policy meets no accountability: the working class. The strivers. The folks doing their best with what little they have.

Look at the Alternative

You don't have to like every one of his decisions to see the difference between Adams and the radicals trying to take his place. Just last month, Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani, a socialist who wanted government-run grocery stores. Even in his own district, working-class voters nearly showed him the door in the primary.

That's not just political drama –it's a warning shot. The very people Mamdani claims to represent are growing tired of the experiments. They want safety, order, and real solutions. And Adams, like it or not, is the only major figure in city politics still speaking their language.

The OBBBA: The Great, The Good, and The Disappointing

  As of the time that I am writing this the House appears set to approve the final provisions of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act. President Donald Trump appears set to secure his landmark legislative achievement 164 days since the commencement of his second term. There is no doubt that this piece of legislation will be the centerpiece of his presidency, likely surpassing the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act in his future presidential biographies. Although I have not been shy in recent days critiquing specific provisions of the bill, I do wholeheartedly believe that on net, the OBBBA will be a positive step for the United States of America and should be applauded. However, in a 940-page bill, in a Congress with the narrowest of majorities, from a Republican Party that has become a broad coalition of anti-leftist, oftentimes contradicting, interests, that there will be provisions that pass that aren’t ideal. Nevertheless, let’s breakdown the One Big Beautiful Bill Act with the great, the goo...

I'm Proud To Be An American

It is a strange thing to be born into a nation that both saves and sins. Stranger still to love it. Stranger still, perhaps, not to. In April of 1945, U.S. soldiers liberated Buchenwald. What they found—bodies stacked like cordwood, children too weak to stand—shattered the postwar illusion that history had been moving gradually toward progress. It was a revelation not just of evil, but of its capability to flourish in silence. The United States did not discover evil in Europe. But it confronted it. And more importantly, it resolved to restrain it—not through imperial dominion, but through the creation of institutions, alliances, and post-war norms built on ideas. That moment—when force was met with order, when liberty stared down nihilism—is one of many reasons I am proud to be an American. Because to be an American is not merely to occupy land within borders. It is to be formed by a proposition. And to be responsible for it.

We Need Uniformity Across the Military Components

The United States was facing, until recently, an historic recruitment crisis within the Armed Services. It is likely still facing a similar retention crisis. Much of the twin problems within our fighting force can be chalked up to the social engineering pressed upon the service members by the Pentagon and the White House from the prior Administration. However, a significant portion, particularly in the National Guard and Reserve components, is due to its disproportionate treatment relative to the Active component. There are three primary areas where Active and Reservists (collectively referring to the Reserve component and the various State National Guards) diverge in treatment, (1) Pay, (2) Benefits, and (3) Duties. From the outset, it is important to acknowledge that there is a major difference in the Active and Reserve components. The Active-duty service members are engrossed in the military bureaucracy 365 days a year for the entire length of their obligation. They get reassigned...
