Democrats on Capitol Hill may be looking to further rollback the president’s war powers. On Friday, House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer said he might introduce additional legislation as early as next week.Specifically, he could take aim at the 2002 Authorization for Use of Military Force Against Iraq, which the president recently used to carry out the airstrike against Iran’s top general. Hoyer also mentioned the House may be looking to block Pentagon funds from going toward any further action in Iran.His remarks came after Thursday’s vote, where the lower chamber passed a resolution to limit the president’s powers. While it passed mostly along party lines, a number of

Demonrat marriage to the jihadis for money may even be bigger than what Peter Schweizer is going to tell us in his new book "Profiles in Corruption".

What the democrats are attempting to do to this President is an abomination. Of course, everything they suggest is motivated by the hate they have for him. Americans approve of his decisions to get out of these endless wars that the political class is so fond of. It is not in our best interests to keep doing what we have been doing because it is not working. The only thing that comes out of the decision to remain in these hell holes is the death of our brave fighting men and women because we profit nothing from being sitting sucks. The President’s strategy of using our superior capabilities to strike at these barbarians instead of putting our troops out there where IED’s kill and maim them is the right one. The military industrial complex is getting wealthy at the expense of our young men and women and we are sick of it. There is a better way to fight and we should be using it. Where is the concern for our troops who are asked to venture into these extremely dangerous situations knowing that some jihadi has planted a bomb on the roadside somewhere. It is madness to keep sending men and women into danger when it only fulfills the enemy’s bloodlust. They know they cannot win against us but they are more than content to do as much harm as they can. Enough. Our men and women deserve better. Fighting seventh century barbarians on their terms is insane. I believe the President knows this and is trying his best to change it. He has been very effective and that is threatening those who make money by fighting these endless wars including the politicians.

This is why the RNC had better use the Millions of Dollars they have accumulated to win back the House. The Democrats have proven these past two years that they are going to do whatever they can to stop President Trump from running this Country. It's time to throw the Bums out!!

Matt Gaetz - Florida District 1’s (Panhandle) latest embarrassment. Joe Scarborough was our last one. Never thought Matt would stab us in the back but he did. He will be primaried.

When it comes to the heading of Dumb Democrats, Steny Hoyer and his buddy Chris Van Hollen are at the top of the list. Ed Markey is there too. These people will say and do anything that is anti-Republican, and to hell with America.

Poor Stany. He sticks his head up out of Pelosi's butt long enough to make a fool of himself again.

This hair-sprayed clown looks like he would have been the kid in Middle School who received the most wedgies from his classmates. Who names their kid Steny?

You know Steny, our constitution doesn't allow for targeted against a republican president style legislation. Are you prepared for the fact that the next time there is a GOP congress and a democrat in the WH, that the laws you want won't be used against you? Thought not. Your party really is stupid. Look what happened to the Senate when Harry Reid got rid of the super majority option. Lost you the senate didn't it. Karma bites hard Steny, and I hope you people are ready for the blowback. This is election year Steny.

Steny Hoyer, aka, Pelosi lapdog, is a total fraud. His biggest assignment is carrying Pelos's purse. All these moron's want to do is stop President Trump from defending Americans and our country. These people, democrats/communists, support our sworn enemies over American citizens. It becomes clearer every freakin day. Get it yet.

I wish the RNC would start showing the clip of Nasty proclaiming that then President Obie 1 didn't need congressional approval to attack Syria.

Without a sympathetic Senate, let alone a veto-proof majority in both houses, such stunts are done purely to thrill their base and to give the media another daily event they can pretend is meaningful.

The President is Commander in Chief - period. There is no debate here. He is in charge of protecting the country and any assets in which the country has an interest. You cannot restrict that authority. A President is obligated to listen to security briefings (which Obama never did. Obama just read minutes {or maybe not} after the meetings at his discretion) and his top military commanders in making decisions. The people elected President Trump to do just that as they have elected presidents in the past and expect them to protect the nation.

Steny Hoyer (D-IRAN)
That's where the democrats are these days. Defending the same terrorist state responsible for the deaths of Hundreds of US servicemen. The same country that would have every democrat executed, given the opportunity, for their beliefs, positions and actions.

The Democrats are making it look like they are on the side of the terrorist supporting Iranian Government. That may not work out for them too well in the November election.
Obviously by trying to limit Trump’s constitutional powers to impress the Iranians militarily, the Democrats are encouraging the Iranians not to enter into any substantive peace negotiations with the Trump Administration, to wait Trump out, and as John Kerry most likely has already told the Iranians, that they will get a much better deal after Trump is defeated in the November election, with a new appeasing and defeatist leftist or liberal Democrat President sitting in the White House. As Trump always says, we will see what happens!
