NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! A federal judge on Tuesday rejected a lawsuit from the Trump administration seeking to acquire Michigan’s voter registration rolls.The ruling by U.S. District Judge Hala Jarbou, a Trump appointee, is the latest in a string of legal losses over the acquisition of sensitive voter information. The Trump administration has sued multiple states over voter information in an effort to force them to clean up their voter lists. DOJ TARGETS NONCITIZENS ON VOTER ROLLS AS PART OF TRUMP ELECTION INTEGRITY PUSH Attorney General Pam Bondi argued that the Civil Rights Act of 1960 gave her the power to compel states to turn over their lists. In a 23-page brief, Jarbou disagreed, saying the law applied to voter applications.”If the distinction between voter registration applications and voter registration lists is overly pedantic, it is a pedantic distinction made by Congress, and it is Congress’s prerogative to make distinctions that may seem unnecessary to a person reading the statute over six decades after its passage, the judge wrote. “”Needless to say, the existence of a statewide computerized voter list was not foreseeable to the Congress of 1960, and it is possible that legislators would have included such…

Even positive changes can be hard to accept. Long before the M1 Garand rifle was in widespread service in the US military, it had its share of detractors. A number of these objectors simply disagreed with the Army’s decision to adopt a semi-automatic rifle at all. They argued that the M1903 Springfield bolt-action rifle was more than capable as a battle rifle, that new semi-automatic designs were unproven, potentially too fragile or complex, and that troops would waste ammunition. A man demonstrates how to load a M1941 Johnson rifle using five-round Springfield stripper clips. Author’s collection At the time, these old-school concerns were certainly given some credence, but the Army had carefully considered these issues well before adopting the M1 in 1936. John Garand, the man who made the M1 Garand, had developed a rifle that served as America’s primary battle rifle until 1958. A more significant and modern challenge to the M1 rifle arose with the Johnson semi-automatic rifle, which first appeared in 1938. Melvin M. Johnson was a Marine Corps Reserve officer and prospective gun designer. He had several concerns about the M1 Garand’s design, and independently, Johnson assembled a rifle that became a widely discussed competitor to…

United States President Donald Trump has threatened to block a major bridge between Canada and the United States over ownership concerns. The bridge is suspended between Michigan and Ontario, and Trump is demanding ownership of at least half of the crossing. In a post on his Truth Social platform on Monday, Trump said he would not allow the Gordie Howe International Bridge that connects Windsor, Ontario, and Detroit, Michigan, to open until the United States is “fully compensated” and Canada treats its neighbor with what he described as “fairness and respect.” “With all that we have given them, we should own, perhaps, at least one half of this asset. The revenues generated because of the US market will be astronomical,” Trump wrote. Trump accused Canada of benefiting disproportionately from the project, claiming it was built with “virtually no US content” and alleging that a waiver issued under former President Barack Obama allowed Canada to bypass ‘Buy American’ requirements. He also repeated longstanding grievances over Canadian dairy tariffs, provincial restrictions on US alcohol sales, and Ottawa’s recent outreach to China. The new six-lane crossing is expected to open early this year following final testing and inspections, and will become one of the busiest trade links…

This article was originally published by Micahel Snyder at The End of the American Dream under the title: Kick Off Event Incoming: Israel Is Going To Attack Iran Even If The U.S. Does Not – A Major Showdown In The Middle East Now Appears To Be Inevitable One way or another, it appears that a final showdown in the Middle East is going to happen. The tyrants that are running Iran have slaughtered tens of thousands of protesters, they have just deployed ballistic missiles that travel so fast that they can reach Israel in 10 minutes, it has been reported that they have been “developing biological and chemical warheads” for their long-range ballistic missiles, and during negotiations with the Trump administration they are absolutely refusing to make any significant compromises. They are calling President Trump’s bluff, and they are daring him to act. At this stage, it is not entirely clear what Trump intends to do. But even if Trump doesn’t pull the trigger, Israeli officials are warning that they will attack Iran anyway. The Israelis know all about the Khorramshahr-4 missiles that Iran now possesses. And they know all about the unconventional warheads that could potentially represent an apocalyptic threat to major Israeli cities. So they…

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! The Senate is scrambling to avoid a third government shutdown under President Donald Trump, and after negotiations seemingly appeared to hit a brick wall, lawmakers are cautiously optimistic that a deal could be made. Senate Republicans received Senate Democrats’ “partisan wishlist” of demands over the weekend, sources familiar with negotiations told Fox News Digital. The White House sent over its own counter-proposal, but several lawmakers weren’t clear what was in package as of Monday night. Some, including Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., wouldn’t say, but noted that congressional Democrats and the White House were “trading papers,” and signaled that the back and forth activity was a good sign of negotiations moving forward. But lawmakers aren’t out of the woods yet, a reality that Thune warned of since Senate Democrats demanded a two-week funding extension for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). Congress has until Friday to avert a shutdown and little time to actually move a short-term patch from one side of the building to the other. REPUBLICANS WARN DEMOCRATS’ ICE REFORM PUSH IS COVER TO DEFUND BORDER ENFORCEMENT Republicans are mulling another short-term extension, known as a continuing resolution (CR), to avert a partial…
