On December 4, 2024, The Turkish American Society of Ohio (TASO) hosted Settlement Project leaders and friends at the community center of TASO in West Dublin, Columbus, OH. This special dinner was not only a celebration of Turkish culture but also served as a landmark event in establishing a bond of cooperation between the two organizations. With around 40 attendees, the night was filled with warmth, culture, and the promise of future efforts together.
The gentlest way to describe the outcome of the 2024 presidential election is that the Right secured a “decisive victory”—winning control not only of the White House, but both chambers of Congress as well. That means the Left has experienced a “crushing defeat.”

The ouster of incumbent President Joe Biden from the Democratic Party ticket by the party’s overlords — the Obamas, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, and others — may not have seemed kind, but power is power. Winning is winning. And what must be done, must be done.
Human history is full of stories about people stealing from others. Cain stole Abel’s life, slavery steals people’s freedoms, and unjust taxation steals your hard-earned property. And, in today’s America, we have a new form of theft: that of your God-given right to have your vote count.
