The Constitution does not permit a president to wage war on a whim.
The founders were clear: the power to declare war rests with Congress, not the executive. The president, as Commander in Chief, was meant to oversee the military—not unleash it unchecked.
And yet, once again, we find ourselves embroiled in an unauthorized war—funded by taxpayers, justified with shifting narratives, and carried out without meaningful oversight.
Shifting dollars from domestic programs to the Pentagon is shuffling deck chairs on the Titanic given our mounting fiscal crisis.
The sitting president of the United States is spending money that is not his to spend in order to fight endless wars unauthorized by Congress that do nothing to protect the American people or our interests, while insisting that the federal government’s only priority should be the military industrial complex.
While Americans struggle with rising gas prices, soaring grocery bills, and mounting debt—fueled in part by reckless tariffs and preemptive wars—the federal government is spending money it doesn’t have on military expansion, foreign conflicts, and presidential excess.
This is not America First.
If anything, it is becoming painfully clear that Donald Trump’s “America First” approach to governing puts America last every time.

The war with Iran did not emerge from nowhere.
It was not some tragic misunderstanding. Not some unforeseeable spiral. Not some sudden emergency that forced reluctant men into hard decisions. This war was cultivated. Desired. Lobbied for. Dreamed about for years by the same class of politicians, strategists, donors, media courtiers, and foreign policy ghouls who have spent decades dragging America through one Middle Eastern disaster after another.

Half of Congress hates America.
The other half doesn’t much care.

Libertarians must be obsessed about liberty now.
Talk to people everywhere. Pass out flyers. Print out business cards. Make a website. Start a newspaper. Rent a billboard. Make songs and movies about freedom.
You might be the last one defending freedom, but you must live with your conscience.

Once Trump initiated this Iran War it was destined to plunge the world into a catastrophic period of upheaval, global famine, depression, and possibly nuclear annihilation.
There will be no cease fire or negotiations. Sides are being chosen and there will be clear winners and losers when this is over.
