Oregon Senator's Calling Out Trump's Illegal War

Image
Calling Out Trump's Illegal War Our Constitution is clear: Congress has the power to declare war, not the President. Trump's strikes on Iran are plainly unconstitutional. The so-called “President of peace” is anything but. Congress needs to use every lever we have to stop Trump’s illegal war.   Jeff spoke out about Congress’s responsibility to rein Trump in on the Senate floor.   Jeff knows where this road leads. Over two decades of war, more than 7,000 American servicemembers were killed in Iraq and Afghanistan. More than 50,000 were wounded. And more than $8 trillion was squandered.

  World's Road to Hell is Paved by Crusading White Christians of USA and Genocidally Messianic Israeli Jews.  by Maung Zarni   Philosophically/ideologically, I was born Godless. That is, I was born into a family of Buddhists in Myanmar, considered a major center of Theravada Buddhism, a sect, that considers itself closer to the original practice that existed at the time of the Buddha, or the Enlightened One. Born out of the Northern part of the Indian sub-continent where Hinduism was one of the oldest and most dominant spiritual tradition, Buddhism is really an antethesis of Hindusim, and has absolutely nothing to do with the polytheism, that is, belief and worship of multiple Gods. Map from:  A History of the World in 500 Maps , Thames and Hudson Ltd. 2023.
