As yet another preemptive war is begun in the Middle East, John Quincy Adam’s words of wisdom still ring true:
“Wherever the standard of freedom and Independence has been or shall be unfurled, there will her heart, her benedictions and her prayers be.”
Like most Americans I have sympathy for the plight of the Iranian people and all subjected people around the globe, from North Korea to Tibet.
But as Adam’s wrote, America: “goes not abroad, in search of monsters to destroy.
She is the well-wisher to the freedom and independence of all.
She is the champion and vindicator only of her own.”
The Constitution conferred the power to declare or initiate war to Congress for a reason, to make war less likely.
Madison wrote that “the Executive Branch is the branch most prone to war, therefore, the Constitution, with studied care, delegated the war power to the legislature.”
As with all war, my first and purest instinct is wish Americans soldiers safety and success in their mission.
But my oath of office is to the Constitution, so with studied care, I must oppose another Presidential war.

I NEED PEOPLE TO STEP BACK, COLLECT YOUR THOUGHTS AND REALIZE EXACTLY WHAT IS HAPPENING IN AMERICA RIGHT NOW:
Our President just covered up the child sex trafficking ring of Jeffrey Epstein, told us it was a hoax, and then had the audacity to tell us to “move on”.
….is now about to start WW3 and send US Soldiers home in bodybags FOR the very Nation behind this child trafficking ring!
He is putting our Military in harms way to SERVE THE INTERESTS OF Satanic Ped*philes!
Do you understand that?
No….I mean do you really GET THAT!?
