Continue readingThe days of congressional declarations of war are long gone, not passed for any of the many United States wars since World War II. In recent decades, Congress has passed authorizations for use of military force (AUMFs) to hand over to the executive branch discretion to choose to go to war against a certain county or to achieve a certain objective.

No matter how much was given, he never accepted it as enough. More, more, more aid, he constantly demanded.
It looks like the Israel government is starting off in its new war on the same course of aid demands as the Ukraine government has pursued.
Continue readingAndrew Napolitano has done a great job helping people become informed about developments in the Ukraine War through his interviews with guests with pertinent knowledge and insights, including Douglas Macgregor, Ray McGovern, and Scott Ritter. As war builds in the Middle East after the Hamas attack of last week, Napolitano has been providing a similarly valuable service in presenting information about this new war.
