Is the king of the world trying to start World War III?


Before getting into what is happening all around the world, let me comment that as I look out the window right here now in Berkeley Springs, snow is coming down, coating everything. It was cloudy this morning when we went out, but not particularly cold, and most of the previous snow had melted. We were all expecting to welcome spring,.but then snow started falling once again on new green grass. So it's not quite spring here yet.







Indivisible on Trump’s Attack on Iran: The Constitution is clear. The power to declare war belongs to Congress.’ 

Does Donald Trump really care a fig about the Constitution or Congress? He may have been snoozing lately, but already dreaming about launching the Iran attack. Iran seems to have done nothing to trigger the attack. Trump has launched it without consulting Congress, as is required by law. 

Shortly after reports of the US attack against Tehran emerged in the predawn hours, Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) characterized the strikes as “acts of  war unauthorized by Congress.”


Wash. Post, Democrats demand immediate vote to restrain Trump on Iran


Congress is expected to vote on two resolutions that seek to block further military action, the latest test of a long-shot strategy to reassert lawmakers’ war powers.

(Will Donald Trump actually heed any curbs on his powers?)

BREAKING: Israel Reportedly Believes Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei Has Been Killed

Rep. Massie (R-Kentucky) and Rep. Ro Khanna (D-Calif.) are expected to force votes next week on legislation that would curb Trump’s ability to take unilateral military action against Iran without congressional approval. But the U.S.’ s Saturday morning strikes came before the bipartisan pair could compel a war powers vote.





The Supreme Leader is sort of like a pope. Trump has now assasinated him. 
Many Iranians are outraged. Others are just keeping quiet. It's a very complicated situation, which Donald Trump doesn't really understand at all.



A senior Democrat suggested Saturday that Trump may be too “mentally incapacitated” to understand the harm inflicted by his attacks on Iran via coordinated airstrikes by the U.S. and Israel. Now the whole world is

turning against the USA, which once served as an aexample and a beacon of hope. 

“Has President Trump learned nothing from decades of U.S. meddling in Iran and forever wars in the Middle East?” asked Senator Tim Kaine. “Is he too mentally incapacitated to realize that we had a diplomatic agreement with Iran that was keeping its nuclear program in check, until he ripped it up during his first term?”



Mourners fill the streets in Iran. Anti-US demonstrations have spread throughout the Middle East and even to Pakistan.. 

FOX, Iran attack: Girls school hit with more than 165 killed

Young female students were reportedly among the victims.
Donald Trump is on a killing spree and needs to be stopped.

Fox News Slams Trump’s ‘Brazen’ Attack on Iran


The Daily Beast

The Generals Said No but Trump Was Bored of Peace



Wash. Post, U.S. service members killed as Iran retaliates


3 dead, 5 seriously wounded, Central Command reports. Did they sacrifice their lives in vain, not to defend our country but simply due to Trump's crazy whims? This is definitely a war of choice. Iran did nothing to provoke it. Even Fox News is no longer supporting Trump. We'll soon see how Republicans fare in the midterms. (American casualties have now grown.)


‘60 Minutes’ Puts on Judges to Sound the Alarm on Trump Attacks

‘UNDER SIEGE’

Numerous federal judges have reported receiving violent threats during Trump’s second term. Donald Trump's unprovoked attack on Iran will only increase the threats against them. Trump needs to be physically restrained..

George Conway, ex-husband of former Trump campaign manager Kellyanne Conway, is running for Congress as a Democrat. The couple have 4 children together.  


Here George Conway was with his wife before their split.


Here's what Conway has to say now.

🔴 The President of the United States is a criminal.

He should have been convicted for the crimes he led on January 6th, 2021.

He was convicted of 34 felonies for corruption and harassment.

🔴 And now, Donald Trump must be impeached. Full stop.

Yet somehow, instead of facing the consequences he deserves, he’s running the White House like a mob operation and making a mockery of his sworn duty to serve the American people.

🔴 But what is Congress doing about it? ABSOLUTELY NOTHING.

That’s why I’m running for Congress – because their lack of urgency is unacceptable, and I can’t stay quiet. This President MUST be impeached, and he must face real, material consequences for his crimes.

San Francisco Ballet cancels planned performances at the Kennedy Center

It is certainly no badge of honor to perform at the Trump/Kennedy Center. 
=======================================

Donald Trump has a very short attention span, veering from Greenland to the Nobel 
and now to Iran. Let's hope he hasn't already started World War III. 

Trump voters
could not have forseen that he would embark on this crazy rampage. Will this impulsive war in Iran become
Trump's very regrettable and most memorable legacy?



 
More than ever, we still need organizations promoting peace. 
The Peace Corps is celebrating 65 years of service, still sending volunteers all over the world. I very much appreciate the opportunities that Peace Corps gave me. 
(Thank you, JFK.)


===================================================

Most Americans aspire to become home owners. I'm paying to buy the house where I live now in West Virginia with my son, planning then to pass it on
 to my kids.


Tulip Day is coming up on March 15. 


In Washington, DC, where I lived for so many years, police have responded
to a man wielding a knife.
