Another Undeclared War

A new year finds the United States of America rushing headlong into yet another undeclared war of aggression.   Our nation's Constitution clearly gives Congress, and only Congress, the power to declare war, a power it last used for our entry into World War II nearly a century ago.  Congress has taken itself out of the business of starting or entering wars and instead passed that responsibility along to whatever tinpot, wannabe Generalissimo is parked in the White House - a system that gave us the futility of Korea, bloody horrors of Vietnam, and the insanity and corruption of Bush Oil Wars One and Two.

War has become little more that an expansion vehicle and profit center for American capitalism.  It takes the children of American workers and runs them through a meat grinder to ultimately benefit America's wealth-hoarders and captains of industry and their children.

And Congress, the body of government that should be the gatekeeper for the business of war, is absent without leave.

Donald Trump, a raging patriot whose bone spurs regrettably kept him from putting on his country's uniform and going to war a half-century ago, but not from playing golf, last night sent America' s sons and daughters into the South American country of Venezuela to bomb the capital, Caracas, and to abduct the country's president and first lady.  Today Trump's administration is no doubt busy explaining to the government and people of Venezuela just how their new "free" country will operate in the future.

Troops storming into a country uninvited, bombing infrastructure, and abducting the country's leader and his wife, certainly sounds like acts of war, yet Congress, which lacks to resolve or discipline to even pass gas, much less a war resolution, snoozed peacefully through the night and let Trump and Little Marco, and possibly even Pete handle it.

Congress also snoozed through Trump's capture of the Kennedy Center, his demolition of the East Wing of the White House, and his usurpation of Congress's power to impose tariffs.  The United States of America does not need Venezuela's oil reserves, Trump's primary motivation from dragging us into yet another international conflict - what the United States really needs is a NEW CONGRESS!

Register and vote!

Mike Johnson, you're pathetic!
