Midknight Review -- new and revised: A brief word about the War Powers Act:

We are hearing much talk about the don-nothing opposition to Trump's decision to send a message to Assad. "It was an unconstitutional action." "He had no authority for his decision."

As it turns out, the War Power Act that the Opposition references in their criticism, gives the President, any president, 60 days to act in a crisis situation as he pleases, and, before going to Congress to expand on his initial decision.

Trump was reacting to the horror of Assad's gas attack. It is as simple as that. To argue that we, members of the human race, have no obligation to stand in the gap for those who have suffered so much for so long, is mindless tripe. President Trump has made it clear that he is not about a regime change that is not supported by the larger community. To place ideology ahead of what is righteous, is to act stupidly and without allegiance to the very values we pretend to proclaim.

The Stated Nonsense from the Left now includes these Progressive goals:

July 2, 2008, Obama had this to say: "We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we've set. We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded."

MICHELLE OBAMA: "Barack knows that we are going to have to make sacrifices; we are going to have to change our conversation; we're going to have to change our traditions, our history; we're going to have to move into a different place as a nation."

“ . . . . . . they have become a generation of activists possessed with that most American of ideas – that people who love their country can change it.” -- Obama the Radical

On September 30, Van Jones told MSNBC "I think everybody should hold onto your seats. October is going to be the turning point when it comes to the progressive fight back."
