France holds Bastille Day military parade that, years ago, inspired Trump

Washington Post11 hours ago
PARIS — The City of Light decked itself out in red, white and blue on Bastille Day for the yearly military parade and fireworks show that commemorates the French Revolution and the history of the Republic — and which inspired President Donald Trump to stage his own military procession.
About 7,000 people, plus 200 horses, marched down the Champs-Élysées in Paris on Monday as more than 100 aircraft flew overhead in an elaborate display of France's military strength, global alliances and strategic priorities.

Thank the Supreme Court for helping Trump return power over America's schools to parents

The Supreme Court's decision to let Team Trump fire hundreds of Education Department employees hands him — and the nation — a double-barreled win. First, it reinforces the concept, underscored by another high-court ruling last week, that the executive branch has a fundamental right to hire and fire employees who work for . . . the executive branch. Second, planned layoffs of more than 1,300 of the agency's 4,000 employees will significantly help President Donald Trump achieve his goal of dismantling it entirely. This is terrific news for students, parents — and taxpayers. The department, after all, has spent billions of taxpayer dollars and produced close to no improvement in learning — with much of that loot going to blue states and teachers unions. If anything it's saddled schools with woke agendas, forcing boys into girls' sports and locker rooms, for example, and kowtowed to labor. Though many of the programs it administers wouldn't be affected even if the agency were to be scrapped entirely (other agencies would simply take on the task), the hope is for less red tape and a less bloated workforce. And removing education-policy decisions from the federal government. Remember, the DOE didn't even exist at all until 1980. Its creation was the result of a cheap deal Jimmy Carter made for the National Education Association's endorsement. Yet for most of the nation's history, educational policy has rested in the hands of states, towns, school boards — and parents. True, to formally abolish the department, the prez would need Congress' approval. That may be an uphill battle for Republicans, but it's one worth fighting. In the meantime, if Trump can rein in DOE's headcount — and narrow the scope of its work — that alone will be a tremendous victory.

In Pennsylvania, Trump touts jobs, hails ‘AI technological revolution'

President Donald Trump traveled to Pennsylvania Tuesday to claim credit for billions of dollars in investments that companies have planned, which he said would make the key swing state 'a leading hub' for energy and artificial intelligence. The visit was the latest effort by the White House to tout what the president and his aides call the 'Trump Effect.' Many of the deals for which the president has taken credit predate his presidency, however, or are part of companies' existing plans to partake in the AI gold rush.

All-Star Panel: President Trump Issues Stark Warning to Russia

In a meeting with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte this week, President Trump announced he will impose a 100% tariff on purchasers of Russian exports if Russia fails to reach a peace deal with Ukraine within 50 days, while also pledging to supply Ukraine with arms – a deal he says will be paid for by our European allies. Democratic Strategist and Co-Host of The Five Jessica Tarlov, Senior Fellow at AEI Marc Thiessen, and FOX Senior White House Correspondent Jacqui Heinrich, join Bret to discuss this, public frustration over the DOJ's handling of the Epstein files, and more, on today's All-Star Panel.
