In this Mogadishu bar, behind the taps of Tusker and Habesha lagers, there are three signed photographs: Olympic track star Mo Farah; deposed dictator Siad Barre, and lightning rod writer Ayaan Hirsi Ali. Now they're making room for a 4th: Minnesota Governor, Tim Walz.

In this Tegucigalpa diner, it was a tradition: big mug of Lempira coffee, plate of tajadas, and then a few phone calls to the Sinaloa cartel to get millions of dollars and automatic weapons in bribes. But then the woke mob took it all away.
