My latest: The Mamdani coalition mirrors the bitter resentments of Scar in The Lion King. Palantir CEO Alex Karp put it best when he told Axios, “The average Ivy League grad voting for this mayor [Mamdani] is annoyed their education is not that valuable, and that the person who knows how to drill for oil has a more valuable profession. I think that annoys the f*** out of these people.” That’s Scar: privileged, well-fed, exceptionally smart, and deeply annoyed. He just needs enough hyenas who see him as "one of them" and lions too ashamed to fight, and Scar can take the kingdom.

If NYC is the hub of global capitalism, then truly the “Pride Lands” have fallen.

Empathy in the civic realm often links feeling with virtue, and it's not helpful. More than ever, we need a nation of virtue, not a republic of feelings ----- some thoughts of mine in Newsweek today.

If you don't know what to say without equivocating, say that.

a bad week, but a beautiful night in Manassas

A few remarks to EWTN yesterday about what has been happening since the assassination of Charlie Kirk in Utah. Our challenge is to interact with our anger, recognize it, and not let it morph into resentment.

Being a communicator

At my core, service is my passion. That’s why I work in PR & media with a focus on getting fresh voices onto radio and TV. I enjoy thinking about different audiences needs and working with media partners and communicators to serve those people. I’m passionate about millennial politics, criminal justice reform and consensus building in an increasingly polarized world.

I host the Beltway Banthas Podcast and contribute entertainment & political commentary regularly to the Washington Examiner, The Glenn Beck Program, Kennedy on Fox Business and WUSA Channel 9 in Washington D.C.
