As the 2018 congressional election heats up, the possibility of a change in chairmanship for the House Armed Services Committee is very much in play.

A switch in gavel ownership could spell different priorities in upcoming defense authorization bills than in the past. If Democrats take the House, the most likely chairman is Rep. Adam Smith (D-Wash.), the current ranking member.

Smith enumerated a handful of differences between him and his Republican counterparts, who have held the House since 2010, including funding for large weapons systems and defense spending in general.

More "rational" spending means less for the military and more for "social justice" programs like Antifa, Black Lives Matter, and spending on Muslims, illegals, and themselves.
