  1. 'We Came, We Saw, He Died': Democrats' Breathtaking Hypocrisy On War Powers Ed Morrissey After last night's strikes on Iran, Democrat politicians reached screeching levels of hypocrisy over Donald Trump's decision to act rather than wait for an Iranian nuclear weapon deployment. Chuck Schumer demanded action from Congress, as did Hakeem Jeffries. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez led calls for impeachment. Practically every Democrat on Capitol Hill -- with the notable exception of John Fetterman -- rushed to promote their "authoritarian" narrative about Trump. All of this venting reveals very short memories on the port side of Capitol Hill. Fourteen years ago, they couldn't get enough of presidential strikes on a nation in the very same region. Remember Hillary Clinton's chortling over the fall of Moammar Qaddafi and the role she and Barack Obama played in it? "We came, we saw, he died," she raved to Leslie Stahl after a joint US-EU bombing campaign decapitated Qaddafi's regime, and left a failed state in its wake {snip} The wisdom of that Libyan operation is not the issue here. Neither is the wisdom of last night's operation, although the Iranian nuclear-weapons program certainly has far more connection to American security than Libyan rebels did in 2011. The issue at hand is the hypocrisy of those who cheered the 2011 operation, but who now insist that such use of American military forces without Congress' approval is somehow illegal or unprecedented. https://hotair.com/ed-morrissey/2025/06/22/we-came-we-saw-he-died-dems-breathtaking-hypocrisy-on-war-powers-n3804046
  2. TWO-TIER JUSTICE: Princeton refuses to punish masked students who hurled slurs at Jews.. No other victim group would get so little consideration. https://www.campusreform.org/article/princeton-refuses-punish-masked-students-hurled-slurs-jews/28091
  3. You are correct (again) OB "Vance says U.S. 'not at war with Iran, we're at war with Iran's nuclear program' President Donald Trump said Saturday night that the U.S. had dropped bombs on three Iranian nuclear sites, the first time the U.S. has directly attacked Iran" (NBC News). https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/trump-administration/vance-says-us-not-war-iran-re-war-irans-nuclear-program-rcna214329
  4. NO ! Volodymyr Zelensky Demands $40 Billion in Annual Budget Support for Ukraine This is madness. Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy sends a twitter message as if he’s ordering coffee from the guy down the street, telling NATO members not to forget to send him his $40 billion in “budgetary support.” Budgetary support means we pay for the operational cost of Ukraine government, including govt payrolls, pensions, healthcare services, welfare and social services for the people in Ukraine. (snip) The crazy thing is, unless Trump stops it, our congress will give it to him. And even if Trump tries to stop it, congress will demand the payment as part of their appropriations process. As if we don’t have important priorities here at home Maybe it’s just me, but the in-your-face hubris of it is, well, just off-the-charts. https://theconservativetreehouse.com/blog/2025/06/21/volodymyr-zelensky-demands-40-billion-in-annual-budget-support-for-ukraine/
  5. It was too depressing to write this last night, after we got off air, so I went to bed. But, it needs to be said by more Democrats: this was not an impeachable offense, and Trump did not need congressional approval for one precision attack under the circumstances, just as Obama did not when striking Bin Laden. Why can’t our Party just say it’s great we achieved the objective and destroyed Iran’s nuclear sites, god bless the soldiers who carried this out and made it home safely, god bless our country, military, allies, and we look forward to a full intel briefing. . If one must then assert Congressional authority at the moment, add that any escalation will require congressional approval. And if you must, express concern for where this may go and what might come next. But, for so many in my Party to knee jerk with unhinged calls for impeachment - and sadly omit in their statement support for Iran not having nuclear weapons, which has been a principle of our Party for 40 years -is truly TDS.
