-- Connecting the dots between our economy, government and business --
A mess of uncertainty and litigation is sure to follow.
With $162 billion more from taxpayers, couldn’t you deliver a few bond upgrades, too
This morning Russia and China offered nuclear weapons to Iran. Lack debate by Congress have our impulsive president over the barrel. Tragedy for the American firsters- no bad we do not have another true hero such as Charles Lindberg!
America’s first Black president (Democrat) was a Marxist and terrorist sympathizer. The Democrat party can’t get over it.
How surprised I am regarding the Democrats who cheered LBJ with the Bay of Tonkin false flag that got the Vietnam War going under full throttle. Lets not forget Jimmie Carter’s fiasco in Iran over the hostage situation and who could forget Bill Clinton’s actions in the bombing of Yugoslavia> Democrats have such short memories these days.
And this from Raja Krishnamoorthi, Senate candidate: SCHAUMBURG, IL – Congressman Raja Krishnamoorthi issued the following statement today: “I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon. Cannot. Which is why President Trump’s decision to pull out of the Iran nuclear deal is proving to be a grave misstep. However, the President also cannot take unilateral military action in Iran without Congressional approval. We must pursue a diplomatic resolution to protect American troops, our interests in the region, and global peace. As I return to Washington this week, and as a senior member of… Read more »
This guy must be behind on his briefings. The sad thing is that the President has pursued diplomatic solutions and offered to meet with them anytime to discuss. They have tried intermediaries and passing notes back and forth. The US has had deals with this country before regarding nuclear weapons and Iran has broken deal after deal and lied to the world about their progress and intentions. Almost 40 years of BS and chanting death to America. Now these religious nuts are close to getting the materials together for the weapon and the US said, enough. The US told them… Read more »
Nuclear weapons are fake. The President can take unilateral military action without the approval of Congress, because the ‘war’ is fake. Most of Congress probably already knows this as well. It’s a big club, and you’re not in it.
“You know why? It’s show business, that’s why we’re here. V for victim. Five Marines raising the flag. One video of one bomb Mr. Moss, and the American people bought that war. War is show business.” – Robert De Niro – Wag the dog
Downvoters can go listen to Galen Winsor on youtube. It will make you feel better.
IL Democrats are pro Muslim and anti American citizen.
Casten, Foster, Duckworth, Durbin so Anti American I’m sick of your rhetoric look at how you have destroyed Illinois along with Pritzker. The rebuttal Casten did about Trumps attack on Iran, my goodness Casten you should be tried for treason along with others.
Was Duckworth serving in a declared war when she got injured in combat? She should have become a conscientious objector rather than serving in an undeclared war in Iraq. Typical Dem hypocrisy.
A good question to ask is how they would have voted if the issue was brought to Congress first.
And these same people didn’t say a word during 100’s of Obama drone strikes. Why is that?
Those weren’t targeting assets of the host nation, they were against rogue actors. That’s why no one significantly complained about attacks on ISIL.
oh yeah I remember when he droned a wedding- “by accident”
I trust that’s a rhetorical question.
Obama dropped 26,000 bombs in 7 countries without congressional approval.
He gave the Iranians $1.7 billion of our money to fund their nuclear program.
Biden unfroze over $16 billion to give to Iran,which was then used to fund 90% of Hamas, Hezbollah and Houthi terrorist attacks.
And then there is Hilary, who supplied Uranium to enrich their nuclear program.
Not to mention the Iranian attempt to assassinate Trump during his presidential campaign.
They didn’t say a word about any of this either.
We cannot hate these hypocrites enough.
Captured by their fever dreams and intolerance of dissent, “Progressivism” and Islamism are two sides of the same coin.
The same could be said about MAGA.
Illinois democrats as well as republicans failed to uphold the constitution themselves by permitting the president to unilaterally conduct a war without debate or declaration of war. Every war started since Korea without a congressional war declaration became a war without end. Few reps and senators want to be personally responsible for war and want the president to be solely blamed. The democrats are probably extremely happy as this strike to probably destroy the MAGA coalition.
Back away from the hive-mentality of Leftist Democrats. Say ‘NO’ to the cult of Leftist Democrats. Think for yourself.
