It’s hard to know whose side the Democrats are on as they defend terrorist Qassem Soleimani, continue to spread Iran’s propaganda, and attempt to prevent the President from executing his lawful duties. Iran attacked Americans dozens of times in 2019. It had to stop.
Speaker Nancy Pelosi announced the House of Representatives will vote soon on a war powers resolution to limit President Donald Trump’s military actions.

“Last week, the Trump administration conducted a provocative and disproportionate military airstrike targeting high-level Iranian military officials,” Pelosi said in a letter to colleagues Sunday. “This action endangered our service members, diplomats, and others by risking a serious escalation of tensions with Iran.”
“As members of Congress, our first responsibility is to keep the American people safe,” she continued. “For this reason, we are concerned that the administration took this action without the consultation of Congress and without respect for Congress’s war powers granted to it by the Constitution.”
Killing a terrorist parading around organizing an attack on a U.S. Embassy in the midst of a ‘Big Attack’ is hardly disproportionate. The House Democrats want to waste more time and continue to do nothing else.
If they want to prevent the President from keeping Iran from killing our soldiers and diplomats, whose side are they on?
Watch:
Pelosi continued, “It reasserts Congress’s long-established oversight responsibilities by mandating that if no further Congressional action is taken, the Administration’s military hostilities with regard to Iran cease within 30 days.”
In the Senate, Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., and ranking member of the Foreign Relations Committee, Robert Menendez, D-N.J., wrote to Trump asking him to “immediately declassify in full the January 4, 2020, war powers notification you submitted to Congress following the U.S. military operation targeting” Soleimani.
Schumer knows a lot of this information cannot be declassified, certainly not quickly.
What they fail to mention in the media is that the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Mike Milley said he is 100% certain of the intelligence. He is also certain of the ‘Big Attack’ which is a Soleimani plan to kidnap and execute U.S. diplomats and Military personnel to start a war.
Speaking to reporters in the White House briefing room, White House counselor Kellyanne Conway said members of Congress “will be briefed, but they should also calm down” and “celebrate” Soleimani’s death.
She said it was “fine” for Trump to order an airstrike killing Soleimani without congressional authority, comparing it to former President Barack Obama ordering the mission to kill al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden.
Even Obama’s former DHS Secretary Jeh Johnson said it was well within the President’s powers.
Boy howdy, there is a knee jerk reaction from the leftists that no one saw coming. Uh, well, not really.
I think they had that resolution just waiting for the right something to be able to use it.
Trump has the left in the House, and elsewhere, defending terrorist leaders. What is gonna be Trump’s next trick to further expose the traitors in our government?
Can hardly wait. Fun to watch.
Just sayin’.
At what point do we, the American citizens get relief from these people overstepping their power? The democrats in the House of Representatives do NOT run the country. They are a part of one branch of government, not the sole arbiter of all laws and rules.
We, the people need more than our votes to change the players, we need more power and more recourse to remove any politicians who stomp on the Constitution, like the democrats have done, and are currently doing.
Enough already.
these demoncraps are getting on my last nerves…hate to tell you demoncraps, but love and hugs isn’t going to cut it with these guys
At what point does it become treason?
it will be a show vote, never gets past the senate.
