Israel to Reoccupy 25 Percent of Gaza to Press Hamas to Release Hostages, Official Says

Admin

Axios   The Israeli military will expand its ground operation in Gaza to occupy 25% of the enclave over the next two to three weeks, a senior Israeli official said in a briefing with reporters on Monday. The Israeli official said the ground operation is part of a “maximum pressure” campaign aimed at forcing Hamas to agree to release more hostages. But reoccupation could go beyond Israel’s stated objectives of the war and could serve as a pretense for pressing Palestinians to leave Gaza. The move, which has already begun, is again forcing the displacement of Palestinian civilians who returned to their homes in northern and southern Gaza strip after the ceasefire was announced in January.

Commentary: President Trump’s Tariffs and Sovereign Wealth Fund Can Restore American Economic Primacy, Cut Inflation

The Daily Torch
Donald Trump

President Donald Trump has expanded his tariffs to include new 25 percent tariffs on all trucks and cars and automobile parts being imported into the U.S. in a March 26 proclamation, citing national security concerns with outsourced automobile production, stating, “automobiles and certain automobile parts are being imported into the United States in such quantities and under such circumstances as to threaten to impair the national security of the United States.”

Trump cited a February 2019 report by then-Secretary of Commerce Wilbur Ross that highlighted defense production interests being upheld by a strong U.S. auto industry, stating, “Many of the most important innovations and technological advancements over the past 100 years have come from the automotive sector, and the strength of this sector drives technological advancements in the defense sector. Today, the defense sector is heavily interconnected and reliant on the automotive industry for R&D to meet current and future military requirements such as vehicle electrification, autonomous driving, hydrogen fuel cell products, advanced semiconductor utilization, radar, laser and sonar ranging, global positioning system (‘GPS’) navigation, anti-lock brakes, reduction in vehicle weight (‘lightweighting’), and fuel efficiency efforts. Product development in partnership between U.S. automotive manufacturers and defense agencies results in technological advancements in military aircraft, space aircraft, unmanned aerial systems, missiles, and submarines.”

President Donald Trump issued an executive order this week stating that his administration will take steps to ensure election integrity, sparking objections from Democrats, including some Arizona officials. Secretary of State Adrian Fontes objected to the order, claiming it would “federalize elections,” with others making similar claims.

However, Democrats supported H.R. 1, a radical bill introduced in Congress in 2021 that would federalize elections. Then-Congressman Rodney Davis (R-IL-13), who served as a ranking member on the Committee on House Administration, said at the time that H.R. 1 would be “the largest expansion of the federal government’s role in our elections.” The Heritage Foundation published a lengthy analysis, summarizing, “H.R. 1 would federalize and micromanage the election process, imposing unnecessary, unwise, and unconstitutional mandates on the states.”

Commentary: Supreme Court Reconsiders Constitutionality of Agency Policymaking

The Daily Signal

The Supreme Court heard oral arguments Wednesday in a case testing the limits of the nondelegation doctrine, an issue that may sound lawyerly, but which is of the utmost importance in ensuring separation among the federal branches and accountability for the important decisions that affect us all.

Nondelegation is the principle that one branch of government may not give away its power to another. Thus, Congress, vested by the Constitution with the “legislative powers,” cannot give those powers to the executive branch. And yet it appears to do so routinely with broadly-written laws that invite bureaucrats to make the decisions and set the rules that will bind the public.

Two grassroots organizations in Arizona that investigate election corruption examined recent public records from the Maricopa County Recorder and the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors (MCBOS) in an attempt to get to the bottom of a Shared Services Agreement (SSA) the previous recorder Stephen Richer made with the MCBOS in October turning over control of much of his office to them. The new recorder, conservative Justin Heap, demanded control of his office back, pointing out that the agreement was made at the last minute at the end of the year with lame-duck supervisors. However, one of two remaining supervisors on the board, Thomas Galvin, who is the chair, refuses to relinquish control.
