Of course advance information on US combat operations is classified. Pretending otherwise is an insult to our troops, who all know this.
The Secretary is unfit to lead.

I’m going to say something that shouldn’t be controversial but will be. If you are a Christian, you can support border control and immigration being legal vs illegal. You CANNOT celebrate deportations and get off on the cruelty, and be a real Christ follower. Period
To all those who say Trump has “single-handedly” wrecked the economy: He didn’t do it single-handedly. Congress could’ve stopped him anytime. The Republican-led Congress allowed him to wreck the economy.

Pope Francis lifted the world as he led the Church with his profound moral voice. As he returns to God, may his call to humility and concern for the least among us continue to resound.

This feels like a step too far towards theocracy. Isn’t it the case that the successful imposition of present ideologies of climate, vaccine, immigration, and gender, etc, are the result of governments feeling entitled to impose their morality on the people, in contravention of the rules and principles under which we charged them to do their job? I think that if governments have power to enforce their morality over people, we’ll be straight back to the present madnesses in no time at all.
Potentially, but what I often feel is missed with the "isn't this the same as what we have now" argument is the most important: the content of the morality. In my opinion, the fact that government sometimes imposes morally based laws is not the problem, it's which morally based laws they impose.
Vaccine mandates, gender madness and the other things you listed are principly poor morals. In fact, I think the generic libertarian idea of letting the free market determine where unvaccinated people sh…
I understand the concern, but there are moral values which, if followed, lead to objectively better outcomes for society. Similarly, there are values which, if followed, objectively lead to the fragmentation and desecration of functioning society.
We should be advocating the former regardless of whether that may sometimes increase the size and scope of government.
This is probably a topic worthy of its own article. However, I think a succinct example of something, which followed, has desecrated functioning society is the gender madness.
To enable mental illness and allow people to mutilate their healthy bodies is a societal failure that has led to objectively worse outcomes. The libertarian response, while somewhat nebulous, typically opposes the chemical castration and genital mutilation of children but permits adults to do as they wish. In my opinion, this is an insufficient response.
