NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! French President Emmanuel Macron went full Orwell recently. While long the darling of Western media, Macron has been one of the most anti-free-speech leaders in the world. On Sept. 29, he declared that “The so-called American ‘free speech’ today, which some people have promoted, is the opposite of free speech.” Having Emmanuel Macron holding forth on free speech is akin to Joey Chestnut proselytizing on veganism.France has been in a headlong plunge into censorship and speech criminalization. These laws criminalize speech under vague standards referring to “inciting” or “intimidating” others based on race or religion.For example, fashion designer John Galliano was found guilty in a French court on charges of making antisemitic comments in a Paris bar in 2010 and 2011.MACRON TRASHES AMERICAN FREE SPEECH AS RIOTS GRIP FRANCE — INTERNET UNLOADS: ‘ENORMOUS FOOL’In another case, the father of French conservative presidential candidate Marine Le Pen was fined because he had called people from the Roma minority “smelly” in 2013. A French teenager was charged for criticizing Islam as a “religion of hate” in 2020. Many of us were disgusted recently when Macron celebrated Brigitte Bardot’s life as someone who “embodied a…

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., is confident that Democrats will win the Senate, but whether they support him as leader remains to be seen.Schumer, who has led the Senate Democratic Caucus since 2017, believes that Democrats have “wind in our sails” heading into what some Republicans fear could be a brutal midterm election in November.And win or lose, he plans to retain his spot as the top Democrat in the Senate.12 RACES SCRAMBLE SENATE BATTLEFIELD AS DEMOCRATS EYE COMEBACK “I am running for re-election for leader,” Schumer told Politico. “Period.”But some of his own candidates on the trail running in elections that could shape the balance of power in the Senate aren’t keen on supporting him to once again lead Senate Democrats since he took the mantle from his friend and mentor, the late Sen. Harry Reid, D-Nev.Adam Hamilton, who has gained enough ground on incumbent Sen. Roger Marshall, R-Kan., in ruby-red Kansas to make it a toss-up race, reiterated this week that he won’t support Schumer for leader in either a majority or minority.”And no disrespect for him at all, it’s just that I think we need new ideas,” Hamilton…

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! A federal grand jury in Washington, D.C., has heard evidence concerning possible false statements former Trump White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson made to the congressional committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot, Fox News Digital has learned.Additional evidence could be presented to the grand jury as soon as next week, according to a source familiar with the matter.The proceedings remain in the grand jury phase, and no final decisions have been made about whether the matter will result in criminal charges, the source said.FORMER CIA DIRECTOR BRENNAN SUBPOENAED TO TESTIFY IN FEDERAL TRUMP CONSPIRACY CASE Hutchinson, a former top aide to former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows, emerged as one of the most prominent witnesses before the House select committee investigating the Jan. 6 Capitol riot and President Donald Trump’s efforts to challenge the results of the 2020 election.During a nationally televised hearing in June 2022, Hutchinson provided testimony about Trump’s actions on Jan. 6, including an account she said she heard from another White House official about the president’s reaction after being told he could not travel to the Capitol.Her account of an alleged confrontation inside the presidential…

Ability, Opportunity, Jeopardy & The Five Elements: how two self-defense frameworks fit together.Spend enough time studying the law of armed self-defense and you will eventually run into two influential ways of thinking about when deadly force is justified. Massad Ayoob has spent decades teaching ability, opportunity and jeopardy—the AOJ triad. Attorney Andrew Branca, author of The Law of Self Defense, offers a five-point framework: innocence, imminence, proportionality, avoidance and reasonableness.More than a few gun owners have seen these as competing systems. Which one do you pick? But that’s the wrong question. AOJ and the five elements aren’t rivals. Rather, they are complementary frameworks and understanding how they fit together makes both more useful.The Five ElementsBranca’s framework starts with “innocence.” The person claiming self-defense cannot also be the unlawful aggressor who started the confrontation.“Imminence” asks whether the threatened harm is happening now or is about to happen. Self-defense law is preventive, not punitive or retaliatory. You cannot use deadly force today because someone threatened you last week, and you cannot keep using force once the threat has ended.“Proportionality” asks whether the force used matched the severity of the threat. Deadly force generally requires a threat of death or serious bodily injury,…

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! The three Stars and Stripes staffers who were fired last week over alleged insubordination have filed a lawsuit against the Pentagon over their terminations, alleging they are facing “imminent retaliation and termination in violation of their First Amendment and statutory rights.””Defendants are attempting to fire Plaintiffs for speaking up as private citizens in support of the press’s freedom to cover military operations, its need to reach all servicepersons, and in retaliation for their publication of a news report on deteriorating conditions aboard the U.S.S.

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! Social media is in a frenzy over a report that police raided the home of Rep. Ilhan Omar’s son over charges in connection with allegations involving his roommate.Minneapolis police raided the home of Adnan Hirsi earlier this week when they confiscated guns and ammunition before arresting his roommate, Abdulrahman Abdi, Alpha News reported. Hirsi, Omar’s son, has not been implicated in any wrongdoing, nor is the congresswoman implicated in the reported incident.But the report’s mention that the suspect shares an apartment with the progressive lawmaker’s son was enough to make her right-wing critics on social media erupt.”Nothing to see here.

Residents and airmen in the Washington, D.C., area will soon miss the familiar “whomp whomp” sound of UH-1N “Hueys” flying overhead as the aging aircraft depart Joint Base Andrews in the coming years.The U.S. Air Force recently selected Andrews to receive 26 HH-60W Jolly Green IIs, an advanced combat search and rescue helicopter, to replace the base’s 26 aging medium utility Hueys. The new aircraft are expected to reach initial operational capability by 2029, with full operational capability by 2030. In the meantime, the base will prepare for the additional aircraft through standing up the 5th Helicopter Squadron on Thursday as the first unit on base to receive the Jolly Green IIs. As part of the transition to the “Whiskey” mission, the base will gain 60 active-duty manpower positions.By 2030, both the 1st Helicopter Squadron, the unit that operates the base’s Hueys, and the 5th will be flying the HH-60Ws full time, completing the mission, Katrina Cheesman, JBA 316th Wing public affairs chief, told Military Times on Monday.Ahead of the transition, Military Times had a chance to fly on a Huey during a media flight and speak with its crew to gain a sense of what this switch entails and…

KYIV, Ukraine — The Department of Defense has awarded a contract worth almost $11 million to X-Bow Systems, a New Mexico-based rocket manufacturer, under a program aimed at developing a new anti-ballistic weapon for less than $750,000 a shot — roughly a fifth the cost of its top-tier equivalent, the Patriot missile.First issued one year ago, the government’s original solicitation from the Missile Defense Agency’s Rapid Response Small Launcher Technology program called on tenders that could “rapidly demonstrate very low cost, modular interceptor designs to counter ballistic and hypersonic threats.”Two companies, Northrop Grumman and L3Harris’ Aerojet Rocketdyne, have long held the domestic market for the solid rocket motors inside those weapons, while production of the Patriot itself runs through Lockheed Martin and Raytheon. Japan remains the only country ever licensed to build the missiles abroad.“The contract will aim to address the critical need to expand the SRM industrial base, which is currently reliant on a duopoly of two primary manufacturers,” the DoD wrote in its contract announcement last month. The program has taken on new urgency since the war with Iran left the U.S. with fewer than 1,000 Patriot interceptors and roughly 250 THAAD rounds, with each Patriot replacement costing…
