NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! Once war begins and American soldiers are under fire, a rational discussion of the pros and cons of war becomes nearly impossible. That is exactly why our Founders wrote a Constitution that demands a debate before the initiation of war.But there was no debate in Congress, let alone a vote. On Feb. 28, Americans awoke to discover that their country was once again embroiled in a war in the Middle East.Americans were not asked if they would bear the burdens of war. Instead, the American people were told, through a presidential eight-minute video posted around 2:30 in the morning, that the country was, once again, at war.And because there was no national discussion about going to war, we do not know whether ground troops will be used. We have no idea how long the war will last. We have no idea who will lead Iran after the death of the Supreme Leader. And we have no idea how many casualties the American people are supposed to tolerate. We cannot know the answer to these questions because no one bothered to make the case that war with Iran was worth the sacrifice.The Senate…

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! Every day, Americans walk into a hospital without any idea what they’ll owe when they walk out. In my home state of Kansas, a mammogram costs $70 at one hospital and $800 at another. One hundred million Americans are drowning in medical debt, and we’re spending $5 trillion a year on a system that still won’t tell patients what anything costs until the bill arrives.At the State of the Union, legislators heard a call to action from our commander in chief. President Donald Trump put it plainly about his “great health care plan.” “[M]y plan requires maximum price transparency.” He’s right – it is simple. We have a plan to fix it, and now is the time to seize the moment.That’s exactly what our “Patients Deserve Price Tags” bill is designed to do. It makes hospitals, surgery centers, imaging centers and labs post their actual prices – real dollars and cents – before a patient ever walks through the door. No more blank checks. No more guessing. It turns patients back into consumers, and that matters more than people realize.Healthcare is the only industry in America where we’ve stripped out consumerism entirely…

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! Sen. Steve Daines, R-Mont., will not seek re-election, opting to leave the Senate just minutes before Wednesday’s filing deadline in the Treasure State, three sources confirmed to Fox News Digital.Montana’s senior senator is serving his second term and was widely expected to secure a third in Big Sky Country, where President Donald Trump won by nearly 20 points in 2024. He previously served two terms in the House before making the leap to the upper chamber. Daines played a key role during that election cycle as chair of the National Republican Senatorial Committee, helping Republicans regain a majority in the upper chamber. He also backed Sen. Tim Sheehy, R-Mont., in a grueling race against former Sen. Jon Tester, D-Montana, helping the GOP secure unified control of Washington. The lawmaker said in a video statement that after “much careful thought, I’ve decided not to seek re-election.” He thanked his wife, Cindy, and noted that, for the last 13 years, she “has selflessly dropped me off at the airport at 5 a.m. on most Mondays for that commute back to D.C.”And, together, Cindy and I look forward to the next chapter, like cherishing moments with seven…

A look at the prolific 9mm Luger cartridge, a worldwide favorite that’s been with us since 1902.The 9mm Luger, or 9mm Parabellum, was introduced in 1902 with the Luger automatic pistol. It was adopted first by the German Navy in 1904 and then by the German Army in 1908. Since that time, it has been adopted by the military of practically every non-communist power.The 9mm Luger has become the world’s most popular and widely used military handgun and submachine gun cartridge. In 1985, the 9mm Luger was adopted as the official military cartridge by U.S. Armed Forces, along with the Beretta Model 92-F (M-9) 15-shot semi-auto pistol.Although the 9mm Luger delivers good performance for police, military or sporting use, it was not popular in the United States until years after its inception. The principal reason was that no American-made arms were chambered for it initially. In 1954, Smith & Wesson brought out its Model 39 semi-automatic in this chambering, and Colt chambered its lightweight Commander for the 9mm Luger in 1951. This plus the influx of military pistols chambered for the 9mm greatly increased both popularity and acceptance in this country. Currently, the 9mm Luger is the most widely used…

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! The partial government shutdown of the Department of Homeland Security could impact how the federal government is able to address potential terror threats in the U.S., a public safety expert said, warning that the escalating conflict with Iran could encourage those wishing to harm Americans.Jeffrey Halstead, a retired police chief in Fort Worth, Texas, and a former commander for Homeland Security for Phoenix police, told Fox News Digital that U.S. military actions could “escalate the mindset of some of these outlying or outlier terrorist entities” wanting to take action. “We’ve seen historically that any time there is a conflict, especially in the Middle East with escalating tensions, military action and now a declaration of war, there is a significant impact on the ability for us to work collectively to share intelligence and gather information in a timely manner from our federal partners,” Halstead said. “With the current Department of Homeland Security shutdown, if something were to occur here in the United States, there could be some significant delays because FEMA and other very, very critical divisions of the federal government are basically shut down.”He specifically pointed out the terrorist attack in Austin, Texas,…

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! British-Iranian actress Nazanin Boniadi called out progressive activists for their lack of outrage over the regime’s human rights violations before President Donald Trump conducted military strikes against the nation.The “Rings of Power” actress appeared on CNN’s “The Lead with Jake Tapper” Wednesday to discuss the ongoing war against Iran and concerns over the vacuum of leadership in the nation after the U.S. eliminated its leaders.She agreed with concerns that an ISIS-level threat could take over the country but noted that several human rights activists and organizations did not acknowledge civilian deaths until after the U.S. targeted Iran. “For people who care about international law as I do, I’m getting plenty of messages from colleagues in entertainment and saying, ‘I’m so sorry in this moment, what’s happening to your people.’ Thank you, but where were you a few weeks ago, when tens of thousands of Iranians were being killed by their own regime?” Boniadi said. “This is a regime that has been violating international law for decades.”Tapper remarked that he also hadn’t “really heard a ton” from international progressive activists regarding Iran’s human rights violations, even after the nation launched hundreds of missile…
