The Messy Truth about Immigration
Being a member of an immigrant family in the United States is often politically challenging. Especially when you are an Indian immigrant. Unlike previous waves of immigration to the United States, most Indian immigrants came here voluntarily. They were not forced by communal strife, famines or violence. Due to these circumstances, a majority of Indian […]
Foreshadowing for 2018
Last week, I gave an autopsy of 2016. On the flip side, I want to offer my predictions for 2018, given the current political zeitgeist: As midterms become the central focus of altering the course of Trump’s administration. Every TV network, Newspaper, and Radio is going to frame this election as a “Referendum on Trump”. […]
Why we need to care about international trade
No matter what news outlet you’ve turned onto in the past few months, it was plastered with coverage of President Trump’s first actions in office. Most people know the basics: the travel ban, foreign trips, speculation about the wall. Despite how informed the constituency is on these highly publicized issues, there is one important issue […]
Sam’s Autopsy of 2016
In the wake of Hillary Clinton’s uncanny defeat, the Democratic Party has been left in shambles, torn in many directions. However, the most concise description is a faction of Center-Left liberals like Tom Perez and Hillary trying to cozy up to the rising tide in the party of Left Progressives, many of whom are socialists, […]

A Plan for Defeating ISIS
For years, the Obama administration struggled to fight ISIS and their increasing power in the Middle East. Even though Obama permitted drone strikes in the Middle East, the Trump administration must increase their force against the terrorist group to defeat them for once and for all. In order to do this, I have a few […]
Liberalism vs. Leftism
There is a clear difference between liberals and leftists. The problem we face in America is not the “liberal media” or the “liberal agenda” but the leftist agenda and the leftist media. According to Denis Praeger, “liberals are no more leftists than they are rightists.” In the past 60-70 years, classical liberal values frequently appear […]
Flip Flop
This might seem counterintuitive, but in reality, its the Democrats who should try to keep Trump in office and the Republicans who should try to impeach him. Let me explain: The Democratic Party, in the post election period, has fractured. The task has been great to unify the liberal Clintonians and the more left, progressive […]
Trump tramples America’s relations, but is he, ironically, saving Planet Earth?
Many Americans have reacted harshly towards President Trump’s recent decision to withdraw America from the Paris Agreement. They feel that it is his worst choice yet. They feel that he is abandoning years of hard work and negotiation. In some ways, they are correct; Trump’s bold judgement will prevent America from upholding its progressive and powerful […]
