FYI: 😳 We are not "at war" in 2026. The US has not officially declared a state of #war since #WWll.
What we have with #Iran like with #Iraq & #Vietnam is another usurpation of #Congress ' prescribed role OR another failed Congressional check on #Presidentialpower depending upon one's POV.
Trump criticized the Supreme Court in a late-night post, claiming an "absolute right" to tariffs after the court ruled agains...

![Wittes argues that Trump’s attack on Iran reflects a governing style that confuses surviving a gamble with making a wise decision. Even a favourable outcome, he says, would not redeem the recklessness of launching war without a credible plan, a solid legal basis, or prudential restraint.

Trump’s Iran post isn’t about Iran. It’s about control: bind the general publicly, rename the menu, pre-burn the competing storyline as “purposefully” wrong.

A woman sits poised in a stately office reminiscent of a presidential setting. Warm, golden light pours through tall windows behind her, creating a dramatic backlit silhouette that frames her profile. An American flag stands near the desk, and framed portraits hang on the walls, reinforcing the sense of institutional authority and legacy. She wears a sharply tailored black suit with a crisp white blouse. Seated in a large leather executive chair, she crosses her legs elegantly, her posture composed and controlled. Papers and folders are stacked across the polished wooden desk, suggesting active leadership and decision-making. The lighting is painterly and high-contrast, with deep shadows pooling around the room’s edges while highlights illuminate her face and legs. The atmosphere blends political gravitas with cinematic noir intimacy—suggesting power exercised quietly, thoughtfully, and with deliberate restraint.

Jan 2026: Trump vacillates publicly on a potential Diddy pardon, ruling it out, then hinting at it, then reversing again. Clemency becomes spectacle, not process.

“Both sides” arguments collapse fast when history is applied seriously.

In the Civil War, Lincoln’s blockade was treated as an act of war.
In the Cuban Missile Crisis, Kennedy called it a “quarantine” because “blockade” meant war under international law.
Trump embraces the word. That matters.

🏛️ Cheney’s lifelong push to expand presidential power reshaped the Oval Office long before Trump. His vision of a stronger executive, once theory, is now reality. A fascinating look at how ideas outlive their creators.
