Did Trump Violate Constitution With Strike on Iran? Republicans in Congress at Odds

/0 Comments/in , /by

In the wake of President Donald Trump’s military strike on Iran’s nuclear facilities Saturday, Republicans in Congress are at odds over the constitutionality of the military action without congressional approval.

House Speaker Mike Johnson said: “The President made the right call, and did what he needed to do. . .

But a fellow Republican, U.S. Rep. Thomas Massie of Kentucky, said the dropping of 12 bunker buster bombs in a precision strike on three nuclear sites was “not constitutional.”

Massie responded directly to Johnson’s opinion, saying: “Why didn’t you call us back from vacation to vote on military action if there was a serious threat to our country?” . . .

Numerous presidents of both major political parties have taken military action against countries without congressional approval in recent years, including Democrat Barack Obama launching strikes in Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Libya, Yemen, Somalia and Pakistan.

Trump Calls for Special Prosecutor to Investigate Rigged 2020 Election

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Donald Trump is calling for the appointment of a special prosecutor to investigate the rigged 2020 election, polluted by everything from suspect absentee ballots to Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg’s “Zuckbucks.”

“Biden was grossly incompetent, and the 2020 election was a total FRAUD! The evidence is MASSIVE and OVERWHELMING,” Trump wrote on Friday on Truth Social.

“A Special Prosecutor must be appointed,” he continued. “This cannot be allowed to happen again in the United States of America! Let the work begin!”

In the same post, Trump blasted his predecessor and his “CORRUPT CRONIES” for leading an invasion that saw millions of illegal immigrants pour into the United States over Joe Biden’s presidential term. The president noted the latest U.S. Border Patrol report, which shows that the agency did not release a single illegal immigrant into the country in May, compared to 62,000 on Biden’s watch in May 2024.

Corporate media immediately sprang to Biden’s defense and turned to the tired line that Trump’s assertions about the rigged election are “baseless.” The Associated Press decried that Trump’s call for a special prosecutor comes as “his Republican White House is consumed by a hugely substantial foreign policy decision on whether to get directly involved in the Israel-Iran war. Audaciously, the AP added that Trump’s call for a real deep dive investigation into an election replete with irregularities and election-law violations “is part of an amped-up effort by him to undermine the legitimacy of Biden’s presidency.” (Read more from “Trump Calls for Special Prosecutor to Investigate Rigged 2020 Election” HERE)

Iran Has Rejected Trump’s Nuclear Terms, Again

/0 Comments/in , /by

Less than 24 hours after President Donald Trump gave the Iranian regime up to two weeks to accept a nuclear agreement, the Iranian regime is rejecting a deal.

“Americans want to negotiate and have sent messages several times, but we clearly said that as long as this aggression doesn’t stop, there’s no place for talk of dialogue,” Iranian Foreign Minister Araqchi said Friday.

On Thursday, President Trump said, “Based on the fact that there’s a substantial chance of negotiations that may or may not take place with Iran in the near future, I will make my decision whether or not to go within the next two weeks.”

Trump Nominated for Nobel Peace Prize for Preventing India-Pakistan War

/1 Comment/in , /by

Pakistan nominated President Donald Trump for the 2026 Nobel Peace Prize for his “decisive diplomatic intervention and pivotal leadership” in brokering a ceasefire between India and Pakistan.

In a post on X, the Government of Pakistan praised Trump for having “demonstrated great strategic foresight and stellar statesmanship through a robust diplomatic engagement with both Islamabad and New Delhi which de-escalated a rapidly deteriorating situation.”

“The Government of Pakistan has decided to formally recommend President Donald J. Trump for the 2026 Nobel Peace Prize, in recognition of his decisive diplomatic intervention and pivotal leadership during the recent India-Pakistan crisis,” the government of Pakistan wrote. “The international community bore witness to unprovoked and unlawful Indian aggression, which constituted a grave violation of Pakistan’s sovereignty and territorial integrity, resulting in the tragic loss of innocent lives, including women, children, and the elderly.”

In response, Pakistan launched an operation called Bunyanum Marsoos, which the government of Pakistan described as “a measured, resolute, and precise military response, carefully executed to re-establish deterrence and defend its territorial integrity while consciously avoiding civilian harm.”

“At a moment of heightened regional turbulence, President Trump demonstrated great strategic foresight and stellar statesmanship through robust diplomatic engagement with both Islamabad and New Delhi which de-escalated a rapidly deteriorating situation, ultimately securing a ceasefire and averting a broader conflict between the two nuclear states that would have had catastrophic consequences for millions of people in the region and beyond,” the government of Pakistan continued. “This intervention stands as a testament to his role as a genuine peacemaker and his commitment to conflict resolution through dialogue.”

/1 Comment/in , /by

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt read a statement Thursday from President Donald Trump saying he will decide on whether to get the U.S. directly involved in the Israel-Iran war within the next two weeks.

Leavitt acknowledged ongoing speculation about whether the Trump administration would take direct action in the ongoing conflict before reading the president’s words.

“Regarding the ongoing situation in Iran: I know there has been a lot of speculation amongst all of you in the media regarding the president’s decision-making and whether or not the United States will be directly involved,” she said.

“In light of that news, I have a message directly from the president, and I quote: ‘Based on the fact that there is a substantial chance of negotiations, that may or may not take place with Iran in the near future, I will make my decision whether or not to go within the next two weeks,’” Leavitt continued.

Donald Trump: We Don’t Want a Long-Term War With Iran

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Donald Trump made clear Wednesday the administration is “not looking for a long-term war” with Iran.

Trump addressed concerns among members of the Make America Great Again base that the United States would be pulled into a long-term war, while fielding a question from Brian Glenn of Real America’s Voice.

“We’re not looking for a long-term war. We’re looking– I only want one thing–Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon. That’s it,” Trump said. “I’m not looking long-term, short-term, and I’ve been saying that for 20 years. I’ve been saying it as a civilian, who got a lot of publicity, people would cover it.”

“Very simply, Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon. That’s it,” he continued. “It’s not a question of anything else, and if you did, you wouldn’t have much of a country because they would use it on us and use it on other people and they’d be a terror all over the world.”

Trump notably tweeted in 2011, before he even entered the political world, that Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon, and has been firm in his stance throughout his political career and the presidential campaign in 2024.

Trump Touts ‘Total Control’ of Iranian Airspace, Says U.S. Knows Where Ayatollah ‘Is Hiding’

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Donald Trump announced, “We now have complete and total control” of Iranian airspace and that the U.S. knows “exactly where” Ayatollah Ali Khamenei “is hiding.”

Trump’s announcements came in a string of Truth Social posts.

“We now have complete and total control of the skies over Iran. Iran had good sky trackers and other defensive equipment, and plenty of it, but it doesn’t compare to American made, conceived, and manufactured ‘stuff,’” Trump wrote.

“Nobody does it better than the good ol’ USA,” he added.

Trump then said the United States knows where Khamenei is located.

Trump Mulls Iran Strike Ahead Of High-Stakes Situation Room Briefing As He Says He Knows Where Ayatollah Is Hiding

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Donald Trump is reportedly seriously considering bombing Iran while revealing that the U.S. has knowledge of Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei’s exact location, Trump said on Truth Social on Tuesday.

Three U.S. officials told Axios that Trump was seriously considering launching a strike on Iran, in particular using bunker busters to target the underground Fordow uranium enrichment facility. Additionally, Trump said that the U.S. is not going to attempt an assassination “for now,” but noted that his patience for the Supreme Leader was “wearing thin,” the president said in his Truth Social post.

Trump will reportedly meet with the National Security Council on Tuesday at 1 p.m. to further discuss whether or not to strike Iran, sources told Axios.

“We know exactly where the so-called ‘Supreme Leader’ is hiding,” Trump wrote in his post. “He is an easy target, but is safe there – We are not going to take him out (kill!), at least not for now. But we don’t want missiles shot at civilians, or American soldiers. Our patience is wearing thin. Thank you for your attention to this matter!”

The U.S. has reportedly been weighing whether or not to join Israel in striking Iran’s nuclear arsenal since the beginning of the strikes June 12. Additionally, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is not ruling out assassinating the Ayatollah.

Trump Refuses to Sign G7 Statement on Iran; Wants Total End to Nuclear Enrichment; Iran Cries Uncle: Wants to End Israeli Attacks, Negotiate With Trump

/0 Comments/in , /by

By Breitbart. President Donald Trump rejected the G7’s proposed statement on Iran because it called for monitoring of Iran’s nuclear activities, rather than an outright halt to Iran’s program of nuclear enrichment.

The Trump administration has been demanding that Iran halt all uranium enrichment, since enrichment past a certain level has no purpose other than developing the unique isotope necessary for nuclear weapons.

Iran has refused to agree, leading to the impasse in nuclear talks — and leading Israel to attack Iran last Friday rather than face the prospect of an imminent Iranian nuclear weapon. (Read more from “Trump Refuses to Sign G7 Statement on Iran; Wants Total End to Nuclear Enrichment” HERE)

Iran Cries Uncle: Wants to End Israeli Attacks, Negotiate With Trump

By Breitbart. Iran has sent messages to both Israel and the United States that it wants to end the war and to negotiate with President Donald Trump, and could give up its nuclear enrichment program to save the Iranian regime.

Reports of Iran’s eagerness to end the fight came as Israeli fighters attacked regime institutions in the capital city of Tehran, including the state broadcaster, after achieving total dominance of Iranian airspace.

The Wall Street Journal reported:

Iran has been urgently signaling that it seeks an end to hostilities and resumption of talks over its nuclear programs, sending messages to Israel and the U.S. via Arab intermediaries, Middle Eastern and European officials said.

In the midst of a ferocious Israeli air campaign, Tehran has told Arab officials it would be open to returning to the negotiating table as long as the U.S. doesn’t join the attack, the officials said. Iran also passed messages to Israel saying it is in the interest of both sides to keep the violence contained.

…

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has said the attacks will continue until Iran’s nuclear program and ballistic missiles are destroyed, and he has shown no indication he is ready to stop. He has also said regime change isn’t a goal but could be a result given the Iranian leadership’s weakness.

Trump Targets Blue Cities With Deportation Strategy

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Donald Trump explained that he is planning on having his administration target Democratic cities as a part of its latest deportation efforts.

Trump posted a Truth Social on Sunday that he is directing U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers to expand its deportation operations to “America’s largest Cities, such as Los Angeles, Chicago and New York.” The president added that these cities are the “core of the Democrat Power Center.” Trump explained his Truth Social while at the G7 Summit on Monday, telling reporters that he wants to go after “sanctuary cities” because they have been “overrun by criminals.”

“I want them to focus on the cities, because the cities are where you really have what’s called sanctuary cities, and that’s where the people are. I look at New York. I look at Chicago. I mean, you got a really bad governor in Chicago and a bad mayor, but the governor is probably the worst in the country — Pritzker — but I look at how that city has been overrun by criminals,” Trump said, naming New York and Los Angeles as well.

“Biden allowed 21 million people to come into our country. Of that, vast numbers of those people were murderous killers, people from gangs, people from jails, they empty their jails out into the U.S.,” he continued. “Most of those people are in the cities, all blue cities, all Democrat-run cities and they think they’re going to use them to vote. It’s not going to happen.”

The Trump administration has increased its pressure on leaders of sanctuary cities over the last several weeks. Tom Homan told NBC News government officials could face consequences if they obstruct federal agents’ official actions in response to rioting in Los Angeles, California, that resulted from ICE raids. Democratic New York Gov. Kathy Hochul of New York and Democratic Illinois Gov J.B. Pritzker later responded in a House Oversight Committee hearing, daring Homan to come and arrest them.
