The IRGC has warned the United Kingdom it will be targeted if USAF bombers at the RAF Fairford base in Gloucestershire are deployed in operations against Iran. Tasnim reported the IRGC as saying, “any base used to attack Iranian soil is a legitimate target” after...
One of the defining failures of modern American government has been the steady erosion of Congress's constitutional authority over war. The Constitution grants Congress -- not the president -- the power to declare war. Congress decides to go to war. The president...
Over the weekend the Pentagon announced that four more US soldiers have been killed in President Trump’s war on Iran. That brings the total to 17, but many believe the real number of dead US servicemembers is much higher than that. The Pentagon has claimed it has no...
On July 17, NBC News televised portions of a lengthy investigation proving that Israeli military forces had attacked medics at least 116 times in South Lebanon over the last several months. On that same day, Reuters reported that eight people were killed and 20 others...
Among the key men involved in the American Revolution and the following periods, we find an oft-repeated concern that may seem foreign to us today—the threat of standing armies. This was a heritage of British legal thought and history, and it became an...
On September 5, 2025, President Donald Trump signed an executive order which revived the original name for the Department of Defense, “The Department of War.” While technically the name remains the Department of Defense for legal purposes (as only an act of Congress...

Since its inception, the government of the United States has inexorably exceeded its powers under the Constitution. All three branches have been complicit in a consistent pattern of constitutional indifference. Congress has regulated in areas of governance nowhere...
Against the odds, the Memorandum of Understanding signed by the US and Iran appears to be holding, after threats and counter-threats. It may collapse, but it has survived a first round of talks between the two sides in Switzerland over the weekend. President Trump...
