⚠️ PARTY OVER PRINCIPLE That's what you get without a constitution. That's what you get when the people themselves are clueless about their own constitution as well. "it is the nature and intention of a constitution to prevent governing by party, by establishing a common principle that shall limit and control the power and impulse of party, and that says to all parties, thus far shalt thou go and no further. But in the absence of a constitution, men look entirely to party; and instead of principle governing party, party governs principle." -Thomas Paine, Dissertation on First Principles of Government (1795)

It’s going unnoticed because so much other news is happening, but the war drums are beating again in D.C. The warmongers worry this is their last chance to get the white whale they’ve been chasing for thirty years, an all-out regime change war against Iran. A new Middle East war would be a catastrophic mistake. Our military stockpiles are depleted from three years of backing Ukraine. Our effort to reshore manufacturing has only just begun and will take years to bear fruit. War would worsen our already immense deficit and national debt. Iran is larger than Iraq, Syria, and Afghanistan combined. A war would not be easy and could easily become a calamity. Thanks to President Trump’s restraint during his first term, America has a golden opportunity to pull away from Middle East quagmires for good. We shouldn’t throw that opportunity away so that sone D.C. has-beens can feel tough by sending young Americans to die yet again.

🇺🇸🇮🇷 Archbishop Timothy Broglio, head of the US military archdiocese, says the Iran war “does not meet just war criteria” and is therefore not morally justified. Broglio warned Catholic troops they are not bound to obey every order in such a conflict, advising them to “do as little harm as possible” and protect innocent lives. He noted US law allows objection to war in general, not specific conflicts. Broglio also called Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s use of Jesus to justify the war “problematic,” saying it is “hard to cast this war as something sponsored by the Lord.” Follow: @europa

@WeissHockeyTalk Hey, if it's not your cup of tea, move on. Lots of guys look forward to these.

Barking up the wrong tree there pal

Woodrow Wilson, 1916, campaign slogan: "He kept us out of war." FDR, October 30, 1940: "I have said this before, but I shall say it again and again and again: Your boys are not going to be sent into any foreign wars." Trump 2025 inaugural: "We will measure our success not only by the battles we win but also by the wars that we end – and perhaps most importantly, the wars we never get into."

1. How many generals have been fired? 2. Why do you think this is happening?

🇺🇸 COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF youtube.com/watch?v=9JNVt_… George Washington's commission from Congress on June 19, 1775 made clear the American principle that his duty was to REPEL INVADERS: "for the defence of American Liberty and for repelling every hostile invasion thereof" and follow orders from Congress: "And you are to ... punctually to observe and follow such orders and directions from time to time as you shall receive from this or a future Congress of the said United Colonies or a committee of Congress for that purpose appointed."

@HerzlMargot @amitylee13 But. If I did make those shirts, maybe they would sell more?

@Patho045 @amitylee13 Unfortunate circle placement

What party (if any) do you identify with?

@HerzlMargot @amitylee13 Lol. You're right. I guess that when I made that, my 72 yr old mind wasn't thinking that way.

@unusual_whales "Terrorism" is losing it's meaning. For example "Narco-terrorist" is an oxymoron. The last thing drug dealers want is public scrutiny.

Trump: "The environmentalists are terrorists. I call them the environmental terrorists."

The State is the ultimate betrayer of liberty.

@catoletters I think of Nietzsche a lot lately in regards to Israel turning towards the dark side.
