Hillbilly wisdom: Speaker of the House Mike Johnson speaking on Sunday about the Iranian situation correctly pointed out the Republican’s margin in the chamber. Anytime the republicans wish to remove the United States from the Middle East theater, the Republicans can do it. That bit of honesty is refreshing and at the same time confusing. War Power Resolutions have failed three times- March 5, April 16 and May 14 with voting mainly along party lines.

What is the American public supposed to think? A return to economic issues will be taken up after the war. Billions of dollars later, higher fuel prices, fewer critical minerals available for farmers and President Trump declared “The war is over”. And the United States/Trump is doing what? This is the president who ran for election on the slogan- no more wars.
