No surprise. I wonder if this Congress will EVER find its spine? Probably not until the Midterms.

suggest they hamper the ability to defend U.S. interests.
Is Israel's existence a U.S. interest? Yes.
Is eliminating Iran's nuclear capability a U.S. interest? Yes.
Is putting U.S. soldiers in harm's way a U.S. interests? Yes.

Is Israel going in, capturing Iran's nuclear stockpile and leaving, a U.S. interest? Yes.

Need to be charged as accomplices in these war crimes and for abdicating their Constitutional responsibilities.

I have not seen any indication from anyone that that will happen.

It's just a gut feeling here so take it with however much salt as you like...

BUT, I think things are going to be happening in short order within the next 30 days. I suspect that the pendulum has reached its fullest extent and will soon be heading in the opposite direction. Will be plainly noticeable by the end of July.

It's just a feeling, as I said. Will be interesting to see if it comes true, not holding my breath but I know change is coming and soon. Be careful what you wish for.

like waiting for something to big to happen but not knowing which way it's gonna go. I felt a hint of recognition when trump started bombing Iran... like this was the screw turning, but still not sure which way it's gonna go. I just feel unsettled, like vibrations in the background barely making themselves heard, and my ear trying to tune in to hear any of it. So unsettling...

No more endless wars. No more war pigs and a bottomless trough of blood money.

If a politician votes for more war funding they will not get my vote. No matter what letter is after their name.

No more excuses. No more war.
Peace. Science. Life.
