If you have followed my work over the years, you know that foreign affairs are, to put it mildly, not my area of focus. There are a couple of reasons for that. One of them is that I’m just not that interested in what other countries are doing. The other is that, to my mind, focusing intently on the affairs of foreign nations comes with a significant opportunity cost. For every hour we spend talking about, for example, the mullahs in Iran — who have supposedly been on the verge of acquiring nuclear weapons for many years now — we aren’t talking about catastrophic threats that directly impact the lives of American citizens every single day. And these are threats that we can easily solve, if we choose to do so.
To give just one example, yesterday a magistrate judge ruled that Kilmar Abrego Garcia can be released from jail pending his trial. This is the illegal alien and suspected MS-13 gang member whose alleged crimes include human trafficking and wife-beating, who Democrats have turned into a hero of their party. Now that Democrats have succeeded in bringing him back here from El Salvador, and if this judge gets her way, he’ll be free to roam the streets of Nashville, Tennessee — or anywhere else he wants to go.
