Thank you for this thoughtful summary of the situation. The same people who accepted Clinton's destruction of an aspirin factory without Congressional approval are this evening screaming bloody murder over Trump's destruction of a bomb making factory. It's a matter of partisan priorities. The progressives have only one motivation, and that is to deny protection to the ordinary citizens of our country. Creating chaos internationally and in our Democrat-controlled cities is their "strategy". The world is in better shape now than it was yesterday.

06/21/25: " igniting a firestorm of debate" --- IGNITING? As if there's been a single day of peace and quiet since Trump was first elected in 2016? The bonfire's been blazing every single day for almost nine years. And thank you for taking the time and extensive trouble to create the above, to to remind people what chronology is (to most, a lost discipline, if not entirely non-existent).

06/23/25: Memo to the Treasury Dept. (having wisely halted penny manufacturing): "Start creating 'One-Tenth Pennies." We've found someone worthy of his face being on worthless currency."

06/23/25: A Russian navy squadron in 1904-05 sailed from the Baltic Sea to East Africa, Madagascar, Singapore and so on, on its way to disaster at Tsushima (Korea). At an Africa port (barely more than a clutch of grass huts), the sailors responded to the natives who were pleading for the chance to catch coins being thrown from the ships. The coins started flying. Then, the next day, the Africans created a mob scene after finding out that the currency was worthless.

Rep Thomas Massie is not the "conservative" many think him to be! On the contrary, he's a leftist libertarian with perhaps a slight conservative leaning on a few select issues. He sounds more like the Leftards everyday. Time for him to be primaried!

What on earth is conservative about waging war?

Man, you spoke between 30 and 40 words, and each one was delusional.

Iran’s unwavering objective since the beginning of the Revolution in 1979 has been clear. For nearly a half century, the Imams have insisted that both Israel and the United States must be destroyed.

Their screed—“Death to Israel! Death to America!”—has been repeated continually as behind the scenes the Iranians developed a nuclear capability.

Their sole intent in developing weapons-grade nuclear material was to employ the resulting bombs against Israel and the U.S.

President Trump mitigated the risk working in coordination with Israel as that nation destroyed Iranian air defense systems and eliminated key military leaders. Israel made possible “less risky” U.S. air strikes which allegedly crippled Iranian enrichment facilities.

The people of Iran want the current regime to be removed. Sentiment throughout the region echoes their hope. President Trump made a measured, prudent decision that may make these hopes a reality in the near term.

Not sure this happened, not sure it didn't. All I know is, the Iran Military (commentary) account posted a video on X little over 2 hours ago, stating it was today's strike by the U.S. However, the video is at least 6 days old, & not from Fordo, Iron. How are we supposed to know who & what to believe anymore, when so much deception has been perpetrated upon the global populations? Seems no one in powerful or journalistic positions have the ability to state the truth.

Do you remember Bagdad Bob? Have you any evidence that any islamists ever tell the truth? On the contrary, they lie as a matter of course. They are commanded to do so in their Quran. No matter how ridiculous they look to be, they can't help themselves.

Yes, their whole ideology is based on satan's deception. But islam isn't the only sect that deceives - all sects of gov't lie through their teeth. Can't seem to trust or believe a single one of them. That's why I question everything.

They would engage in truth if it served their purpose. Working the strings on a presidential puppet for four years has left those who seek unaccountable power little room for reality-based truth. They may not be able to recognize truth after such endeavors.

“The U.S. airstrikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities are igniting a firestorm of debate over presidential war powers, with critics arguing that President Trump’s decision to act without prior congressional approval violates the Constitution.”

Don’t remember all this handwringing when Obama launched his & Hilary’s war on Libya. Then she goes on tv to brag about it - “He came, he saw, he died!” Really?

Double standards are the norm & selective outrage on full display.

Why is everybody blind to the elephant in the room? Israel is the tail that wags the US dog. That is the modus operandi of the J-people: deceive the gentiles into acting as their proxy. This strategy goes all the way back to biblical times. Back then, it was the Romans doing their dirty work.

Since you seem to have a different view, can you site your sources? I would be interested to read a history of a people who have been enslaved by every major world power since Egypt who actually were in cahoots with their oppressors

TDS has become a primary Democrat tenet. They have to virtue signal their hatred for Trump at every opportunity; they see that as their job.

It is unfortunate that any modern President cannot obtain Congressional approval for the simple reason Congress, including their staffers, cannot keep secrets. Roosevelt went to Congress and asked for a declaration of war. He did it publicly. But he didn’t ask for approval of specific battle plans. So short of asking the leaky sieve for a declaration of war against Iran, what’s President Trump going to ask for? Approval for a specific detailed strike? And expect it to stay a surprise?

Thank you for laying out the history of decisions made w/o the blessings of our Congress. If Congress was asked today, could a decision even be reached?

The bombs have been dropped and the debate can rage on as to if it's constitutional or not. My concern at this point is what retaliation Iran or it's proxies will take here in the USA and what is being done to combat that and protect us.

Islam is a terrorist religion. Islam is war. Islam is hate. Islam is not an Abrahamic religion. There is zero archeological evidence that Islam or Mohammad ever existed.
