War without Congress’ approval: To what end?<\/h4>\n

Re: “Trump: Iran’s supreme leader has been killed,” March 1 news story<\/p>\n

President Donald Trump\u2019s call for Iranians to take to their dangerous streets to express their rights, to gain free speech and to create a new government is beyond irony when his goons beat, jail and kill Americans expressing their right of free speech in Minneapolis and across the United States. When the time comes in America, let us hope our citizens have the courage that he calls for in Iran\u2019s citizens.<\/p>\n

Another Republican war. This is the third war perpetrated by a Republican administration. In spite of what many Americans may have thought about President Joe Biden, I felt safe under his administration. And one of those reasons is because of his respect for our military and the lives and safety of our soldiers. I no longer feel safe, and I\u2019m willing to bet I\u2019m not alone.<\/p>\n

Astounding! We\u2019re at war with Iran! Our Congress, the only branch of government with the power to declare war, didn\u2019t declare war?<\/p>\n

President Trump spoke for a long, long time last week on national TV and \u201cforgot\u201d to mention he was locked and loaded the military for immediate action. You\u2019d think somebody would have \u201csuggested\u201d to our diplomatic corps to send their families back to the U.S. of A. for an overdue vacation ASAP. Now many are trapped, and the last time that happened, there were hostages held in Iran for 444 days.<\/p>\n

Pity those service members due for discharge this week to be told to fuhgeddaboudit. I got nailed with a\u201d for the convenience of the military\u201d enlistment freeze back in 1961 and didn\u2019t appreciate the surprise one bit.<\/p>\n

Now I suppose Trump will suspend our elections until after it\u2019s over there.<\/p>\n

If anyone needed confirming evidence that America is spiraling downward into a fully fledged autocracy, President Trump’s war with Iran provides it.<\/p>\n

After having announced in June that Iran’s nuclear program had been “completely and totally obliterated,” it seems that it is now necessary to attack Iran again to destroy its missile program. The reason for this is to prevent Iran from launching non-existent nuclear weapons against the U.S. on rockets that do not currently exist.<\/p>\n

But then Donald Trump does what he wants, when he wants, regardless of the facts, which is the definition of an autocrat. And if you believe that the mid-term elections in November will be “free and fair,” you may want to think again.<\/p>\n

Rep. Boebert demonstrates a new low at Hillary Clinton deposition<\/h4>\n

Re: “Boebert leaks photo of Clinton testifying, disrupting deposition<\/a>,” Feb. 27 news story<\/p>\n

Rep. Lauren Boebert\u2019s despicable behavior at the Epstein deposition of the Clintons is an astounding new low, even for her. She is an embarrassment to all of us in the 4th congressional district and, for that matter, to all Coloradans. If it isn\u2019t apparent already, she needs to resign or be replaced, as she is incapable of functioning as a competent adult in the halls of Congress.<\/p>\n

Ralph Roberts, Roxborough<\/em><\/p>\n

Everything keeps getting interesting when it comes to Lauren Boebert. Everyone on the House Oversight Committee should have known the rules for this closed-door session, as they were read at the beginning. It included no photographs.<\/p>\n
