NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! President Donald Trump’s push to extend the government’s controversial warrantless surveillance powers suffered a minor setback early Friday morning after a group of conservative lawmakers rejected a compromise deal that would have extended the program for five years while incorporating some minor reforms intended to appease GOP privacy hawks.Shortly before 2 a.m. Friday, the House of Representatives approved a two-week extension of Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA), giving lawmakers until April 30 to reach a deal.House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., voiced confidence that his conference can come to an agreement by the end of the month.”We were very close tonight.

The Trump administration canceled a longstanding contract with Catholic Charities in Miami, citing a drop in illegal immigration as a factor amid tensions between the president and the Pope.On Wednesday, Miami Archbishop Thomas Wenski wrote an op-ed for The Miami Herald lamenting the loss of an $11 million contract to help care for unaccompanied minors and migrant children programs, which has been active for more than 60 years. Without funding, Wenski warned, services would not even last the rest of the year.”For more than 60 years, the Archdiocese of Miami’s services for unaccompanied minors have been recognized for their excellence and have served as a model for other agencies throughout the country,” Wenski wrote. “Our track record in serving this vulnerable population is unmatched.

As Bob Dylan once sang, “The times, they are a-changin.” I remember an era where bolt-action pistols were associated mainly with long-range metallic silhouette shooting. Magnum handgun cartridges offered a good amount of up-close knock-down power where steel pigs and rams were concerned, but at 100 yards and beyond, they were found to be lacking. Indeed, it’s hard to beat the ballistic performance of a good rifle round. The Model 2020 Heatseeker Pistol in .308 Win. offers shooters a uniquely capable bolt-action pistol with impressive power. I’d secretly wondered why the product category wasn’t more common. To me, the benefits of a “go anywhere” precision platform seemed self-evident. I’m happy to report that over the last 20 years, a good number of shooters seem to have come around to my way of thinking. Far more than a niche product, the bolt-action pistol now curries favor with handgun hunters, shadetree ballisticians, those wanting a capable rig that can be stowed in a compact bag or case — and of course, anyone who desires a different shooting experience from the same-’ol, same-’ol. The Heatseeker pistol features a Sharps Brothers chassis and offers the capabilities of a bolt-action rifle in a much smaller…

Knox was ruled “grossly negligent” by Judge Kim Bailey Phipps, and a default judgment comes when a lawsuit has no response or a party does not appear in court. In this case, it was reportedly the latter.”We’ve asked the court to grant the default judgment because we’re ethically required to as a matter of diligence,” Kuykendall’s attorney, Marc Lenahan, said in a statement to ESPN when the motion was filed. “Personally, it pleases us that Teddy hasn’t made further mistakes that we’re aware of.

Even at 100 new fighters per year, full recapitalization of the total force could still take 10 to 15 years given the existing backlog of legacy aircraft.“When all 22 adjutants general with fighter missions speak with…
