NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! Secret Service is giving a behind-the-scenes glimpse inside the strategy to protect President Donald Trump and guests at Friday night’s rescheduled White House Correspondents Association (WHCA) Dinner.The originally scheduled event in April was done before it even started after a crazed gunman bolted through a security check point, and was later accused of trying to assassinate the 47th president.”Our agency grows and adapts from every event we secure, and we have engaged with WHCA to ensure attendees are given timely information in the unlikely event on an emergency during the event,” Anthony Guglielmi, Secret Service’s communications director, told Fox News Digital.Guglielmi noted that Secret Service’s protection plan worked during the April 25 dinner when agents stopped Cole Allen of California after he alleged descended from the 10th floor of the Washington Hilton Hotel, where the dinner is historically held, and attempted to breach security barriers. He allegedly fired one shot from a shotgun before tripping and falling, after which he was quickly detained. One Secret Service agent was shot and sustained minor injuries.FIRST ON FOX: WHITE HOUSE REVEALS WHO’S JOINING TRUMP AT CORRESPONDENTS’ DINNER — AND WHO CAN’T ATTEND The rescheduled dinner…

This article was originally published by Joshua Mawhorter at The Mises Institute.  Contrary to the popular assumption that centralized political power was necessary to destroy slavery, federal power spent much of its history protecting and enforcing the institution. This privatized costs for a privileged few and socialized and diffused the costs onto others in society. This is a common reality with any state intervention; indeed, it is the point of state intervention. It should be noted that slavery was historically normal (not just) and free labor was the true “peculiar institution.” As this author has argued on numerous occasions, slavery can exist wherever one person can overpower another and forcibly expropriate production from him, but—being economically costly to maintain—slavery usually required the legal protection of state power to privatize gains to a slave oligarchy and socialize costs onto others. The Constitution accommodated slavery, Congress protected it, federal courts upheld it, and federal officers enforced fugitive slave laws. Only after certain slaveholding states attempted to leave the Union—explicitly citing slavery as a principal cause of secession—did the federal government cease acting as slavery’s protector and begin acting as its destroyer. The American nation-state was willing to abandon its decades-long legal protections of chattel slavery in exchange for keeping the Union together by force. In the sharp assessment of Lysander…

If you’re a gardener with an overflowing harvest, or a prepper working to build a ready-to-eat food stash, you already know the value of canning. But here’s the thing: most of the time, you’re not going to eat canned green beans, carrots, or tomatoes straight from the jar. You’ll use them in meals. So why not skip a step and can full meals instead? That’s why I’m a big fan of canning hearty soups. Not only are they shelf-stable and long-lasting, they’re also ready to eat straight out of the jar. Great to have for emergencies, power outages, or just busy evenings. No cooking required. Just open, heat, and eat. One homesteader who really knows her stuff is Jamie from Guildbrook Farm. She’s canned dozens of batches of soup including Senate bean soup, ham and pea soup, ham and potato, German-style ham and green bean soup, and more. In this this video, she talks about why she likes to pressure can soup and some key rules for canning soup safely. She also shares her recipe for ham, potato, and corn soup. For those who prefer to read, I typed it up below. Why Pressure Can Soup? Let’s clear this up…

TAMPA, FL – While the SEC was holding its annual kickoff to the upcoming football season this week in Florida, the bigger conversation was transpiring in Washington, D.C., around the ‘Protect College Sports Act’.After being passed through the Senate Commerce Committee in June, Sens. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) and Maria Cantwell (D-Wash.) are racing against time for the legislation aimed at creating guardrails around NIL, eligibility issues, transfers and even a conference realignment, with the SEC and Big Ten not providing their support for the bill in its current form.CLOCK IS TICKING AS SENATORS TED CRUZ, MARIA CANTWELL PUSH FOR SEC, BIG TEN BUY-IN ON COLLEGE SPORTS BILLThe bipartisan bill was largely created to help navigate college athletics back into a realistic situation, and out of courtrooms. After years of lobbying Congress for help, which led to the SCORE Act being created before this latest bill, there is a growing dissension between parties on how much actual help is wanted at the federal level.After meeting numerous times this week, the revisions currently being discussed have not been presented to either conference as of Thursday evening.Does August recess for Congress creates invisible line in the sand?Obviously, time is of the essence, which Senate Majority…

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! Citizens Bank is ending its financial relationships with two of the nation’s largest private prison companies following months of protests over their role in operating ICE detention facilities, though the bank insists the decision was driven by changing business conditions rather than political pressure.The Rhode Island-based lender said it will wind down its lending relationships with CoreCivic and GEO Group, companies that have operated immigration detention centers under federal contracts. Activists who had urged customers and municipalities to cut ties with the bank hailed the move as a victory, while Citizens said the companies’ financing needs had changed because the federal government plans to acquire some detention facilities.”Over the past year, we have been targeted by several activist groups regarding our relationships with two private prison operators, CoreCivic and The GEO Group,” Citizens Bank said in a July 17 announcement. “To date, we have refrained from commenting directly given our commitment to maintaining client privacy. However, given recent developments, we feel it is appropriate to comment at this time.”TRUMP ADMINISTRATION PLANS NEW ICE HOLDING FACILITY NEAR LOUISIANA DEPORTATION FLIGHT HUB “GEO has been a client of the bank since 2018, and CoreCivic…

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! Contrary to what some on the right may believe, we are not winning the war against DEI placements and promotions, and we are not winning the war against the greater “Woke” ideology. Both have been placed in faux hibernation by a far-left playing the long game.Actually, the game may not turn out to be that long at all. Many on the left are planning to double and triple-down on the “Woke” gameplan should the Democrats take back part or all of Congress in November and the White House in 2028.Should you need a very recent reminder of how insidious and embedded DEI appointments combined with the “Woke” theology can be, I encourage you to watch the smug and condescending testimony given by National Museum of American History Director Anthea Hartig in response to a number of sane and pragmatic questions asked of her by Congressman Brandon Gill of Texas. While Gill put on a masterclass on exposing merit and nation-destroying “wokism,” I can assure you that the seemingly self-righteous and arrogant Hartig was mentally drumming her fingers while thinking: “We are just going to wait you and the Trump administration out and…

At the very core of the American project has always been a fierce defiance of far-off powers, a stubborn opposition to those who would seek to undermine our right to self-rule or impose their will on a people determined to decide their own destiny.This spirit not only brought America into being but is essential for our nation to preserve its sovereignty into the future.America again defied those who would undermine our right to self-rule on July 13 when Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced that the Trump administration would “dismantle” the International Criminal Court and teach them “the full meaning of American resolve.”CNN LEGAL ANALYST CALLS OUT ‘UTTERLY RIDICULOUS’ CLAIM BY MAMDANI ABOUT NETANYAHU ARRESTThis will include diplomatic pressure on nations that partner with American law enforcement or our military and enjoy the benefits of our protection, coordination with allies to join us in rejecting International Criminal Court (ICC) authority, sanctions against the ICC and its affiliates, and visa bans for ICC personnel.
