NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! Todd Blanche, President Trump’s acting attorney general, appears before the Senate Judiciary Committee Wednesday for a nomination hearing that will help decide whether he gets the permanent job. Blanche is unquestionably qualified to serve as the next attorney general of the United States. Indeed, the Senate confirmed Blanche as the deputy attorney general – the Justice Department’s No. 2, with almost all powers of the attorney general – nearly 16 months ago. And Blanche has already served as the acting attorney general for many months. Blanche, a former New York federal prosecutor, white-shoe law partner, and senior Justice Department official, is the right man for the job. His experience fighting (and beating) the Biden lawfare against Trump as his private attorney makes Blanche uniquely qualified to bring much-needed accountability and reforms to the Justice Department to ensure the Democrats’ unprecedented, republic-ending lawfare is never repeated. Blanche is on a glidepath to Senate confirmation as America’s next attorney general.So naturally, Democrat operatives are getting desperate. In a last-minute judicial drive-by attack, former federal public defender-turned Obama-appointed Judge Kathleen Williams blasted out an unprecedented, lawless order Monday in which she baselessly referred Blanche for…

This article was originally published by George Ford Smith at The Mises Institute.  If you read enough commentary, you’ll find various versions of the idea that our ruination is the result of powerful private interests driving government decisions that benefit them at our expense. Simply put, rich guys can buy votes that favor them, and only them. In some cases, they augment their bribes with blackmail. Does the problem lie with the billionaires or the government? One way a person can become a billionaire is by providing people with a product or service they want. As various economists have pointed out, the money people use to acquire the product or service is like a vote cast. The votes can change overnight if the entrepreneur fails to deliver what people want at a price they can afford, or if a competitor offers something people perceive as better or cheaper. This process of voluntary production and exchange is the free market in action. But security agencies are needed to keep this process free of coercion. Traditionally, this has been the government’s role as a protector of fundamental rights, but government as established is supported not through the voluntary choices of customers but…

The U.S. military can tell commanders how many troops are deployable, how many aircraft are mission-capable and how quickly units can mobilize for combat.As military leaders prepare for wars shaped by drones, artificial intelligence and rapidly shifting battlefield conditions, however, defense experts say the Pentagon still struggles to answer a more difficult question: How do you know whether a force can adapt when the unexpected happens?Future conflicts are widely expected to unfold faster and with greater uncertainty than the wars the United States has fought in recent decades. Communications may be disrupted, battlefield conditions may shift rapidly and long-held assumptions about how wars are fought could prove wrong almost overnight.The military has spent decades refining how it measures readiness. Yet, many of the qualities defense experts say will matter most in future wars — judgment, initiative and the ability to adapt under pressure — remain difficult to define and even harder to quantify.Adaptability matters more than everMilitary leaders have long understood that no plan survives first contact unchanged. The challenge, according to defense experts, is that rapid technological change is making future conflict increasingly difficult to predict.The Pentagon has acknowledged as much. The 2022 National Defense Strategy describes a security…

House GOP leaders face a pivotal test Tuesday as they try to break a conservative revolt that has paralyzed the House floor for weeks.The rebellion, including several dozen Republicans, has repeatedly forced House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., to pull votes on key legislation, grinding House business to a halt just months before the November midterm elections. Conservatives say they’re blocking procedural votes until the Senate passes the stalled SAVE America Act and House GOP leadership allows a vote on sweeping border security legislation. Neither demand appears close to being met amid GOP divisions, raising questions about whether Johnson can advance any major legislation this week.

They tell our children and use their words when they — when they grow up. I wonder what’s wrong with us. I don’t know why we lost our way. So it feels — but maybe we’ve always been like this, we just got better at making things that can kill each other,” he said in a viral video clip of the concert. “Anyway, I wanted to say his name. I wrote it down so I didn’t forget it, this young man who was — well, old man, but we’re all young — this father and grandfather who was murdered by ICE in Houston, Texas.
