“Delaware Gov. Matt Meyer recently signed an executive order directing state and district agencies to work together and expedite permits for broadband and other infrastructure projects. The order aims to expand statewide internet connectivity and keep Delaware businesses competitive by reducing regulatory bottlenecks. It’s one of many state and federal initiatives to remove barriers to the deployment of next-generation broadband. Delaware has the right idea.” 904/16/26)

“A U.S. president has suggested that he may order the destruction of an entire civilization. This is the same president who stated in an interview that he’“doesn’t need’ international law and the same president who appointed as his secretary of defense someone with a record of disparaging the importance of law and the role of legal advisers in relation to U.S. combat operations. … These laws matter. They matter because they strike a logical balance between the necessities of war and humanitarian protection. But they also matter because they protect our own forces — not just from what may happen if they fall into enemy hands, but by enabling them to live with the consequences of their actions.” (04/16/26)

“The prognosis of the Iran War is now so couched in politics and so warped by the American Left that the public has grown tired and wants it all to go away. But in truth, the situation is so fluid that any accurate prediction is impossible. Yet there is good reason to believe in an eventual outcome quite favorable to the U.S. and one far better than the status quo ante bellum. Prior to President Donald Trump’s most recent announcement that the United States would first blockade and then reopen and control traffic through the Strait, only a few ships were going through, mostly those aligned with Iran, opposed to the U.S., or neutral. Thus, the Strait was disrupted to a far greater degree than during Iran’s earlier efforts at closure during the ‘Tanker War’ phase of the Iran-Iraq War, as well as its chronic harassment of shipping in 2018-19. And now?” (04/16/26)

“Our system is wildly different from Hungary’s. The story of our last decade and a half is different, as well. But what Sunday did show us is that, so long as a toehold of democracy remains, a people can come together to throw off authoritarian rule.” (04/16/26)
