The United States of America must always be prepared to use overwhelming military force when necessary to defend our national security interests and protect Americans at home and abroad. And, a President should have the latitude to make decisions to that end, but only to the extent that those decisions are also consistent with the inherent authority of a Commander-in-Chief under the U. S. Constitution and the provisions of the War Powers Resolution. To date, I have supported the President’s decisions relating to the Iranian conflict because they were consistent with these authorities and the ultimate goal of protecting national security interests. At the same time, what sets America apart is not only our strength, but how we use it. Our nation has always conducted military operations for just causes and through just and moral means. This must continue in the future; otherwise we forfeit our legitimacy to lead the world. So, let me be clear: I do not support the destruction of a "whole civilization." That is not who we are, and it is not consistent with the principles that have long guided America.  I have and will continue to support a strong national defense—one that is focused, disciplined, and firmly rooted in protecting the safety and security of the American people. But, how we protect the lives of the innocent is just as important as how we engage the enemy. America is great because America is good.

Congress must immediately end this reckless war of choice in Iran before Donald Trump plunges us into World War III. It’s time for every single Republican to put patriotic duty over party and stop the madness. Enough.

ROME (AP) — Pope says President Donald Trump’s threat to destroy Iranian civilization “truly unacceptable,” as deadline approaches.

Thank you to the 30 men and women from our law enforcement and first responder lacrosse teams who made this weekend’s clinic with the East Islip School District so special. Coaches from Suffolk County Corrections, the FBI, the Secret Service, NYPD men’s and women’s teams, the MTA Police Department, the Nassau County Police Department, the Suffolk County Police Department, and the FDNY were the driving force behind this event, stepping up to mentor and lead by example.

Trump says a "whole civilization of people" will "probably" die tonight. I don't even know how to characterize a post like this. 90+ million people in Iran under threat tonight. It's unspeakable.

President Trump: “Tuesday will be Power Plant Day, and Bridge Day, all wrapped up in one, in Iran. There will be nothing like it!!! Open the Fuckin’ Strait, you crazy bastards, or you’ll be living in Hell - JUST WATCH! Praise be to Allah. President DONALD J. TRUMP”
