Hillbilly wisdom: It is rare that I agree with a politician’s statement. Trump through his press secretary announced that he is in complete control of the situation in the Middle East. Normally, I would point out that he has operational control because Congress has refused to shut the executive administration down. Any blind person can see that Trump and a small group control through military actions. His attempted subjection of the world through economic hardships is enforced with the United States’ military might. It is unusual, to say the least, that a politician owns up to controlling a situation that causes hardship worldwide. As one of the many opposed to the WAR let me say that I agree Trump is in control for better or worse. Press secretary Leavitt may have misspoken.

This administration actions are comparable to the actions of the IRGC in Iran. Trump and a small group have high jacked this country. There is a problem with comparisons of this type and it will rightfully be pointed out that the IRGC uses weapons to control their countrymen. Can America, without bloodshed, stop this coup? Thus far the deaths associated with rallies or protest in the United States have not reached the numbers killed in Iran. Nor have our service personnel deaths been large as compared to the other countries. For this we should be thankful. Do we continue to allow the man in control to govern and run a war in opposition to the wishes of the majority of Americans. For those in Congress who refuse to stop this war, let me use language similar to Trump’s language. Grow a set of balls and declare war. Get off the fence. YOU either want a war or you don’t. Don’t allow Trump to control unless it is what you want.
