GOP Senator Opposes More Than 60 Days Of War On Iran Without War Declaration. An excerpt:
“Curtis didn’t say whether he would vote to declare war on Iran, focusing instead on his opposition to “funding for continued military operations without Congress having the opportunity to weigh in.” There have already been several attempts to block further military action without congressional approval — all of them have been thwarted. To this point, only a few Republicans have backed these war-power resolutions: Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul joined Democrats in supporting a Senate measure, while Kentucky Rep Thomas Massie introduced one in the House, and was joined by Ohio Rep. Warren Davidson, who is a former Army Ranger. “

Howard Lutnick to sit for questioning in House panel’s Epstein probe next month. JWR’s Comments: I have doubts that any of Epstein’s co-conspirators will ever be prosecuted. Perhaps just a handful will. It is apparent that Epstein was an asset of both the CIA and Mossad. His New York mansion, his New Mexico ranch, and his notorious USVI island were all Honey Trap operations, fully bugged and video-recordeded, to blackmail hundreds or perhaps thousands of sicko pedophiles. Surely, there are terabytes of kompromat videos. Many of these perverts were turned into intelligence agency HUMINT assets. The ongoing value of what they have revealed means that the government will be disinclined to ever prosecute them.
