Operation Epic Fury: Why Trump’s Iran Strikes Don’t Need Congress

Operation Epic Fury: Why Trump’s Iran Strikes Don’t Need Congress Is it inconsistent for Democrats to label President Trump a dictator over “Operation Epic Fury” against Iran while ignoring U.S. history? Have presidents of both parties not led multiple undeclared wars and military actions, and does Article II not grant the president authority to initiate and direct military operations? Is the 1973 War Powers Act unnecessary and unconstitutional, especially in light of Nancy Pelosi’s statement that President Obama did not need congressional authorization to bomb Libya? Has the United States not effectively been at war with Iran since 1979, with Iran and its proxies killing at least 1,000 Americans? Does waiting not risk a catastrophic nuclear attack, and did President Trump not act to protect Americans and U.S. allies, including Israel?

AOC’s Wealth Tax Talk, Taiwan Questions & Leaders Unprepared on the World Stage

AOC’s Wealth Tax Talk, Taiwan Questions & Leaders Unprepared on the World Stage In this episode of Your LEO Nation, Mark Garrett criticizes elected officials for what he argues is a lack of constitutional knowledge and poor preparation at international events. He reacts to comments by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez at the Munich Security Conference about implementing a wealth tax, stating that taxation authority rests with Congress under the 16th Amendment and condemning annual taxes based on estimated net worth. He also highlights AOC’s response to a question about whether the U.S. should commit troops to defend Taiwan, arguing her answer was vague and showed unpreparedness. Garrett then points to Gov. Gretchen Whitmer deflecting a question about what “victory” looks like in Ukraine, and compares it to a past clip of Vice President Kamala Harris appearing unprepared when asked about U.S. support and refugee infrastructure related to Ukraine during a joint appearance with Poland’s President Duda. Garrett concludes that these moments reflect ignorance of or disregard for the Constitution and promotes the channel’s rule-of-law focus.
