   We learned a lot from Viet Nam…do not go to WAR,do not start WAR, do not send our youth to probable death or injury and clear mental harm. Stop being a bully, tend fort your own before trying to help everyone else. Simple and yet the crew in DC , many of whom are of an age to have been eligible for military service but somehow avoided it via phony heel spurs or othr false medical issues, seem to have forgotten thse simple facts, Why not today??? Why not every damn day until the country wakens from its coma and sees what is happening? All the promises have proven to be contra what they promised, US citizens are paying more for less at stores and pumps, earnings have not grown, governmental waste has not been stopped, $1.5BILLION dollars has been siphoned from health care and food and provided to a Trump own and operated fund while our children starve and need helath care, veterans suffer, homeless suffer, and now a war. Chaos and pain while the thieves in the market and temple once chased away by Christ are back 10 fold wearing corporate robes, false promises and smiles as their bank accounts swell. IT All MUST STOP NOW , so yes today and everyday NO Kings, War, Loss of Civil Rights, Poll Tax, Inflation, Tax breaks for Billionaires and Corporate Buy Backs, passing legislation that ultimately harms the workers and benefits only the rich, Union breaking, Overlooking our Veterans, Homeless, Children, and the list goes on and yosince Jan 6u as why now??? WOW…remove thee binders or rose colored glasses. It should have happened daily since Jan 6 which date was a clear indication of the plans all along.

      Question Dave – do you speak from experience as a Vet of Vietnam are your comments personal views? In your comments you mention 1.5 billion dollars which was less than the frozen assets that were given back to IRAN by the Obama and Biden Administration. They then used those funds to start up their nuclear program which is why we are in the mess we are in now. They claimed they weren’t using it for war. The first days of this conflict they opened fire on 6 of the surrounding neighboring countries who forewarned them they wanted nothing to do with the conflict. Do you think they put those armaments there over night? Perhaps they been there planning on using them for years. Point of note we all should remember as Americans. Iran, their proxy armies of Hamas and the Houthi’s have been killing and attacking Americans since the 1972 Olympics, taking over our embassy under Jimmy Carter and that diabolical. Hmm Day one Ronald Reagan another Republican forewarned them to return our Citizens. Like Trump showing Peace through Strength! They promised they didn’t have a weapon that could go more than 2,000 miles but magically shot one that hit our base 4500 miles away. Showing all of those European nations they actually had missiles that could reach every one of their Capitals. Don’t get me started on the UN, NATO who we did most of the funding and most wouldn’t even pay their fair share. Peace through Strength we had to put tariffs on their goods and still gave them a break! Where is there thanks in supporting us the country who twice saved them all from speaking German or Japanese. Oh! let’s not forget the Clinton Diabolical of NAFTA and selling American jobs and creating the exodus of most businesses Manufacturers to foreign countries or as I saw American Jobs. Hmm! go around your house and let me know how many items you find that are made in America? China, Indonesia, India, Pakistan, Philippines heck they even replaced the Japanese. So, we are still looking and need to find the enriched Uranium and Plutonium the Irani’s have. Yeah, sometimes you need to punch someone in the nose before they do it to you. Lets not forget how this whole thing started with 1400 Jewish celebrants at a party being slaughtered. That based on their population in percentages would be like someone killing 40,000 of our loved ones. They are a UN ally and not a mambi-pambi one at that. I vote on giving Our President and his Cabinet with real time information on the Iran Regime that it is time for them to go! Oh! Don’t forget these NUT Jobs killed 40,000 of there own citizens. What I don’t get is why Jewish Americans, LGBTQ and women in general have been brain washed against this action?? They must know they will be the first to get killed if these fanatics ever got power. Lastly ask yourself who benefits from Open Borders, Unvetted Illegal Aliens, Cartels, Birth Right Citizenship etc… These bloodsucking lying, stealing, cheating in office forever once Democrats taken over by the these Socialist. Our WWII fathers would be up in arms.

         Yes a Vet, thank you. Are you? We will continue to see things differenty. The MIddle ast has ben a hotbed of unrest for centuries and I foresee no change. We changed the regieme there and replaced it with the Shah …remember hw that turned out? We changd regiems in Iraq as well…remember how that turnd out? Do you really think a change again in Iran will change anything? We kep sticking our noses into places where they do not belong , flexing our musclea and klling our youth (Korea, VietNam, Iraq, Iran) and all ineffectual and commenced by the GOP. Does that tell you anything? Bees do not sting until bothered. GOP likes to bother as it makes money for its supporters. GOP is all about making money (but not for the everyday American) for the stock market and those more fortunate crew who reap its rewards.

         We are a country created by immigrants, our strength lies in that diversity; every citizen deserves mutual respect regardless of economic level, age, gender, sexuality, race, religion but that is severely lacking and people suffer as money is spent in needless assaults upon other nations. Feed our children, educate them, protect our Veterans (many are homeless) , provide health care to all and use our miltary as a defense not an offense. Leadership’s resposibilities are to protect and serve its citizens. This administration and many previous GOP led ones have failed in that regard. Say what you will about Clinton but he left a balanced budget and a surplus. Obama and Biden pulled us out of deep economic holes and built jobs and those deep holes were GOP created, Trump supporters scream they are “Pro:Lfe” …hint everyone is ProLife.but critical thinkers also consider the lives of those living outside the womb to include starving childrena AND active military service members ( whose lives we place at risk with every invasion and do so with not an ounce if outrage from ProLifers). Hypocrits all. We shall continue to disagree. I love my country and its people and its sordid history and what we have learned from it. Unfortunately, those leading us have not learned enough or, more likely conveniently, overlooked it. War is NOT the answer.(Ask Germany and the US…losers in those they started). QED
