The resurfacing of a 2011 clip featuring former U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi sheds light on a stark contradiction in her stance toward presidential military actions. During a press event at the time, Pelosi publicly defended the Obama administration’s decision to strike Libya without congressional authorization. A reporter pressed her about whether the president needed Congress’s green light for military engagement in Libya.

Leftists in the U.S. appear to be grappling with a stark contradiction. As Iranians worldwide celebrate the death of the oppressive Ayatollah Khamenei, American liberals criticize President Donald Trump’s military efforts aimed at dismantling the regime. This disconnect stems partly from a phenomenon described as Trump Derangement Syndrome, where anything associated with the former president garners immediate opposition, no matter its context. Criticism of the joint U.S.-Israel strikes on Iran was quick and heated. Connecticut Sen. Chris Murphy labeled the strikes “dangerously illegal” and rebuked Trump as a “would-be dictator.” Elucidating his stance, Murphy has not shied away from condemning…

The war unfolded in two distinct phases: an intense five-week aerial assault…

He has positioned himself as the “original Trump conservative,” eagerly reminding voters of his early support for Donald Trump during the 2016 election. However, critics are quick to challenge Collins’ self-proclaimed conservative identity. His 2019 Heritage Foundation conservative score of 35% stands out as a glaring point of contention. This score is not only low but is…
Conservative discontent is boiling over as social media users direct their frustration towards retiring Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) for allegedly undermining the Trump-backed SAVE America Act.
