Once again, the Senate showed the country exactly where it stands — and let’s be honest, it’s no surprise. The latest attempt to tie America’s hands on the world stage went down in flames. In plain English: the Senate said no to a wishy-washy resolution that would have stopped the U.S. from smacking Iran where it hurts. That’s right. Liberals wanted to pull our troops out and go soft on a regime that chants “death to America” as a national pastime.
A strong majority — 53 out of 100 — shut that nonsense down. It’s worth noticing, though, that there are still a shocking number of senators who just don’t get it. They’d rather let Iran plot and scheme without fear of consequences. Never mind that Iran refused to negotiate over its long-range missiles. Never mind their race for nukes. Some folks in Washington still think endless “diplomacy” is the answer.
Even more ridiculous, people who call themselves patriots are cozying up to Democrats against American interests. Rand Paul—supposed champion of liberty—voted with the left to clip our military’s wings. Meanwhile, John Fetterman, of all people, had the common sense to cross over and back the GOP for a change. Funny how it’s the so-called “anti-war” crowd who wring their hands and scream about American strength whenever we finally take the bad guys to task.
The resolution in question would have given Congress veto power over strikes in Iran—just the type of slow-walk that globalists love. Imagine: every time Iran threatened Americans overseas or stirred up chaos, we’d have to run things by lawmakers who can’t even fill potholes back home. Iran would love that. The enemies of this country count on our leaders being divided, confused, and soft.
Donald Trump—unlike the parade of weak presidents before him—has taken real action to keep Iran in check. No more hollow speeches, no more bowing to the mullahs. The American people deserve a government willing to defend them—period. The Senate got this one right. So here’s the real question: how much longer will progressives fight harder for Iran’s interests than for America’s safety?
