Biden In 2008: POTUS Has Authority To Strike Against ‘Imminent Attack’ On U.S. | The Daily Caller
Biden In 2008: POTUS Has Authority To Strike Against ‘Imminent Attack’ On U.S. | The Daily Caller:
However, Biden took a different approach while campaigning as Barack Obama’s running mate in 2008. On his campaign website in a section about Iran policy, Biden wrote, “It is precisely because the consequences of war – intended or otherwise – can be so profound and complicated that our Founding Fathers vested in Congress, not the President, the power to initiate war, except to repel an imminent attack on the United States or its citizens.”

Treason? Ilhan Omar Gives Military Advice Against Trump to Iran
Treason? Ilhan Omar Gives Military Advice Against Trump to Iran"The inspiringly patriotic Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Tehran, no, check that, I’m hearing she’s from Minnesota) tweeted Monday offering some unsolicited military advice to the Islamic Republic of Iran:
Trump needs to immediately divest from his businesses and comply with the emoluments clause.
Iran could threaten Trump hotels *worldwide* and he could provoke war over the loss of revenue from skittish guests.
His business interests should not be driving military decisions.”..."

Pirro on Soleimani Kill: 'The Days of Appeasement Are Over' | Breitbart:
During the “Opening Statement” segment of her Fox News Channel program on Saturday, Jeanine Pirro assessed the U.S. military successful drone strike that killed Qasem Soleimani, the leader of Iran’s elite Quds military force, as a statement of change in U.S. foreign policy regarding Iran.
The “Justice” host credited President Donald Trump and dismissed naysayers who claimed the Trump administration reacted in such a way as to distract from the impeachment saga.

This is how liberals cheat!-----Putting It to the People, Over and Over and Over :: SteynOnline
Putting It to the People, Over and Over and Over :: SteynOnline" I was struck by the placard of the Remainer at right: "Put It To The People" - ie, let's have a second referendum.
Of course, it's already been put to the people - and the people voted to leave.
At which point the losing side took the people to court, whose modish Blairite pseudo-Americanized judges ruled that only Parliament could effect withdrawal from the European Union and so, rather than putting it to the people, it had to be put to the politicians.
Hence the last three years of obstruction and subversion.
Were the Devizes Remainer to get his/her [See Dymphna Gates below] wish and have it put to the people all over again, presumably, per the "Supreme Court", that would have no more standing than the last time.
How long the people will put up with having it put to them like this is an interesting question. ..."

Surgeon General: Weed Legalization 'A Massive Public Health Experiment'
Surgeon General: Weed Legalization 'A Massive Public Health Experiment':- 'We don't know what we don't know'
"U.S. Surgeon General Jerome Adams called the spread of state marijuana legalization "a massive public health experiment on our citizenry."
Appearing before a hearing of the Senate Caucus on International Narcotics Control on Wednesday, Adams emphasized that legalization has proceeded without adequate scientific evidence.
He said state lawmakers have rushed to enter the lucrative drug market despite the fact that many people do not fully understand the risks associated with marijuana use.
He highlighted the risks of marijuana use by teenagers, pregnant women, and recent mothers—all of which, he said, remain chronically under-discussed in spite of their support in the scientific literature..."

VICTOR DAVIS HANSON---Steele Dossier Traffickers Have Lost All Credibility | National Review
Steele Dossier Traffickers Have Lost All Credibility | National Review
"In 2016, Hillary Clinton presidential candidate hired an ex-intelligence officer and foreign national, British subject Christopher Steele, to use Russian sources to find dirt (“opposition research”) on her then political opponent Donald Trump.
So much for the worry about “foreign interference” in U.S. elections.
The public would take years to learn of the funding sources of Steele, because Clinton camouflaged her role through three firewalls: the Democratic National Committee; the Perkins-Coie legal firm; and Glenn Simpson’s Fusion GPS opposition-research firm.
Steele had collected rumor and gossip from mostly Russian sources in an effort to tar Trump as a Russian colluder and asset.
We know now that his sources were either bogus or deliberately warped by Steele himself.
Almost everything in the dossier was unverified and later was proved fanciful.
Yet with the help of high Obama administration and elected officials, the dossier’s gossip and rumor were leaked throughout the top echelons of Washington politics and the media.
Its lies spread because its chief message — Donald J. Trump was a fool, dangerous, should never be elected, and once elected had no business as president — was exactly what the establishment wished to hear.
In other words, the dossier was infectious because it was deemed both welcome and useful..."
