War Powers  Act  – Part Two

War Powers Act – part two

Yes, Rep. Lawler’s post is largely accurate on the War Powers Resolution: President must notify Congress within 48 hours of hostilities, forces terminate after 60 days (+30 extension) unless Congress authorizes via declaration of war or statute (AUMF). Presidents have broad Article II authority for limited actions like strikes; Congress can force withdrawal via resolution anytime.

 

Korea: Truman called it a UN “police action” (no declaration); Congress funded it.

Vietnam: 1964 Gulf of Tonkin Resolution gave statutory authorization (broad enough for escalation).

War on Terror: 2001 AUMF (statutory) authorized force against 9/11 perpetrators and associates—used for 20+ years as Congress didn’t revoke it.

 

Formal declarations ended after WWII; statutes/AUMFs became the norm instead, with politics preventing strict 60-day enforcement.

 

This conga line of feckless and leftwing Democrats on TV is grotesque.  They are literally angry that our country is engaged in a righteous battle to eliminate a terrorist regime that is developing nukes, slaughtering tens of thousands, has murdered and maimed thousands of our fellow Americans, and is funding and spreading terrorism throughout the world.

 

Now, what did they do about this regime?  Funded it.  Appeased it. And left it to President Trump to deal with the disastrous mess they created and left him.  They had no rational or effect strategy or plan to address it.

 

The Democrat Party does, in fact, hate America.  Even now, at a time like this, they seek to sabotage us.

 

Also, a number of the usual American-hating Islamist media clowns are in full propaganda mode, trashing our president and our country.  It is time to deport as many of them as is legally allowable and to attempt to denaturalize some of the others and remove them.  When you read what they say and believe you have to wonder how an immigration system that is supposed to work to benefit our country, and is supposed to only allow in foreigners who have allegiance to our country, it is clear these individuals ought not be here.  This is not about the 1st amendment or any civil liberties.  It is about their presence in our country in violation of basic immigration-law requirements.

Deep Thoughts from AOC

Uh, I think that. Uh, uh, I think that that we as uh a nation can uh see and uh hear the difference. As a uh long term policy we uh can uh tell the uh difference.

Remember,  that was pretty much her response regarding policy matters regarding Taiwan.  (The “uh” thing). 

AOC and Venezuela

Uh, I think that. Uh, uh, I think that that we as uh a nation can uh see and uh hear the difference. As a uh long term policy we uh can uh tell the uh difference.

She claimed it is south of the equator when she was trying to claim to be an expert on. World Politics.

Basically she was telling us “I was a bartender for years listening to drunks arguing about politics and therefore I am an expert.”

We’ve all seen AOC’s mentality before; “if you don’t let me pretend I’m in charge,  I’ll throw a temper tantrum. “

Mad Max and SOTU

Maxine Waters says she is skipping the State of the Union address.

LOL … you won’t be missed, silly.

She imagines she is one of the stars in her party… actually,  she might be, that party is infested with self-agrandizing lunatics.

SAVE Act

This is the truth of the matter,  not what the Democrat politicians are claiming.

Democrat Stars

KAMALA HARRIS: “We have so many stars in our party. There are so many stars, and… let’s not be afraid of them. You know, you talk about Mamdani—I mean, he’s exciting. This group of people who otherwise don’t think of themselves as being aligned, or part of, or even seen by the system. You just look at the range of… we have so many… Jasmine Crockett, who I just talked to recently. I mean, we have so many…”

Jasmine Crockett and ICE

When Jazzy gives a speech, she just wants to follow her script.  She doesn’t want anyone to ask questions because she can’t answer them if it’s not written down –sound familiar? – Biden redux.

  Jazmine Crockett’s word salad turned out to be full of dandelions when she went speechless after a reporter asked her why there was no violence or chaos in Texas, even though ICE has arrested three times as many people there than they have in Minnesota.  “Well … I … that’s not the point. (she never did say what the point was)

  She had to think, that’s why she couldn’t answer!  Her two brain cells were fighting for third place in order to avoid being called upon.  Bless her heart, she fell of the short bus.  We know the lefties will either lie or not answer at all, but the look on their faces when they realize they are in a corner is just so funny.

  Isn’t she the one who said, “Just because someone has committed a crime, it doesn’t make them a criminal”, or was that AOC?  It is hard to tell them apart sometimes.  Sadly, Democrat Congress critters are all a disgrace, compromised and corrupted.

  Texas believes in law and order; in supporting those who actually work everyday enforcing the law and corralling the criminals rather than coddling the criminals.

Hakeem the Treacherous

Hakeem Jeffries says we will never allow anyone to “whitewash treachery,” but what he’s really demanding is blind obedience to a story Democrats wrote for themselves. Calling the entire event a “violent mob” with a singular mission ignores reality and erases the fact that the vast majority of people there were not violent at all. This kind of language is designed to shut down debate, not tell the truth. When you have to scream “free and fair election” over and over, it usually means you’re trying to convince people who no longer believe you. And let’s be clear, there are serious, unresolved questions about 2020 whether Jeffries likes it or not. Millions of Americans still think something was deeply wrong, and shouting “extremist” at them doesn’t change that. Maybe Trump is right. Maybe the election was stolen. Either way, the real whitewashing is pretending doubt itself is treason. Jeffries isn’t defending democracy, he’s defending a narrative, and he’s terrified of anyone who won’t fall in line.

Schumer Shutdown is Ending

Schumer on his shutdown of the Government: “each day gets better and better. “

Fascistic Chuckie Schumer has lost the absolute control he welded over the Democrat party for many years and he got nothing that he was demanding.  Yay, long overdue.

SNAP Fact

Senator Schumer is responsible for the Shutdown,  pure and simple.   He is proving that the Democrats really do not care about the American citizens.
