War Powers Act Vote to Limit Iran Action Fails, Meaning This Is Now a Congressionally Approved War

Okay okay, that's kinda bullshit. But you will agree, this means that this is not a Congressionally disapproved war.

And because double negatives are effectively positives -- yes, Congress has voted affirmatively to not stop the war.

The Senate rejected the war powers resolution to force the U.S. to cease operations in Iran in the middle of active combat. Only one Democrat, Sen. Fetterman, voted against the resolution despite some of these same senators supporting Obama in unilateral attacks on Libya...

...In the end, the Kaine resolution succeeded in having the opposite effect of voting against limiting the prosecution of the war. The Senate has now been consulted and voted against limits...

...Notably, the resolution was more feckless given the exception for "imminent threats." With full combat operations on both sides, all threats are now imminent and all attacks responsive.

...What is interesting is that, ever after the Senate was notified, consulted, and voted, Democrats are still calling the war "illegal." The Senate just voted against limiting or blocking the use of force.

The Mullahs made semi-secret overtures through the CIA begging for an end to the war. Trump rejected these overtures.

He now says Iran has only one way out: Unconditional surrender.

President Donald Trump told NBC News that would be a "waste of time," adding on social media today that there would be no deal without Iran's "unconditional surrender."

In more Iran news: The leading candidate for Ayatollah is a limpdick.

Mojtaba Khamenei, the favorite to become the new Supreme Leader of Iran, was repeatedly treated for impotency at hospitals in the UK, according to a secret US intelligence document.

On Tuesday, Mojtaba, 56, was reportedly preparing to be named successor to his father Ali Khamenei, who was killed along with 48 other senior regime officials in America and Israel's ongoing Operation Epic Fury.

According to a classified briefing sent by the State Department to the US Embassy in London in 2008, and later released by WikiLeaks, Mojtaba was placed under pressure by his family to produce heirs.

It required four visits, including a final stay lasting two months, and he eventually had a son who was named 'Ali' after the baby's grandfather, the then Supreme Leader.

According to US intelligence, Mojtaba married relatively late in life in 2004. That was 'reportedly due to an impotency problem treated and eventually resolved during three extended visits to the UK.'

'Mojtaba was expected by his family to produce children quickly, but needed a fourth visit to the UK for medical treatment,' it said.

Not unexpected: Crown Prince Reza Pavlavi has announced that he will serve as a transitional leader while Iran constitutes a new government (and a whole new constitution).

The Conservative Party of Iran just declared itself and announced its principles. It's a pro-monarchy, secular conservative party. "Conservative" is not code here for "mullahs." It sounds like it wants to be what the UK Conservative Party should be, but is not.

Activist Calla Walsh Praises Iran's Missiles at Exhibition, Drawing Backlash Over Warren Ties

2 hours ago

Walsh, a Cambridge native who volunteered for Warren's 2020 presidential bid and other Democrats, spoke at an Iranian aerospace exhibition in a clip first shared by state media in February 2026. She highlighted Iran's indigenous missile program supplying an 'axis of resistance,' prompting rebukes from figures like James Woods, who tied it to her Warren history. Walsh later shifted to militant activism, co-founding a group targeting Israeli firm Elbit Systems, leading to arrests and jail time in 2023; critics now decry her praise for IRGC weapons while she continues posting pro-Iran content online.

These weapons are good weapons because the drone technology is "indigenous." I mean, except for the part it's all stolen from the West and/or supplied by Russia.

No seriously she praises weapons for being "indigenous" people's weapons.

She is a traitor. The group she formed, "Unity of Fields," is explicitly in favor of terrorism against the west.

And she's a Democrat activist. Obviously.

This is CNN:

Kian Tajbakhsh appeared on CNN last night to discuss the Iranian operation. It wasn't confrontational like Scott Jennings, Kevin O'Leary, or Ben Ferguson; he simply presented facts. He should know, as a former political prisoner. We discussed how liberals are trying to frame Operation Epic Fury as a new endless war, but it's not new: Iran has considered itself at war with the United States since the Iranian Revolution. Tajbakhsh was present when officials stated this--we've been at war with the Islamic Republic since 1979.

What he later said about the failed Obama-led Iran Nuclear Deal is what caused CNN to cut to commercial, and you can see why. Tajbakhsh plainly stated how flawed the Obama administration's logic was with this negotiation, and how giving this regime, the largest state sponsor of terrorism, billions might have led to the October 7 attacks. The fingerprints are all over it--the "straight line" as he said before, host Abby Phillip pulled the plug...

AWFUL cries over the death of Khamenei.

This is what Khamenei did when he was president of Iran: he sent ten year old boys to clear minefields. Each boy was given a plastic key. They were told that when they get blown up, the plastic key would open the kingdom of heaven for them.

This is the man the AWFULs cry for and call "selfless, egoless."

Hans Mahncke @HansMahncke

One of the most haunting stories from the Iran--Iraq War is that the Iranian regime mass produced little plastic keys that were hung around the necks of young children who were then sent out to clear minefields, after being told that if they died the key would open the gates of heaven for them.

The regime later tried to deny the story about the keys, but there is no dispute about the underlying reality tens of thousands of elementary school children were systematically indoctrinated in martyrdom and sent to clear minefields.

A couple of days ago I posted video of what was supposed to be a memorial service outside a mosque in Manchester, England. They got mogged by Iranians celebrating his death.

Well, the mosque tried to stage another tearful memorial, and they mogged it again.

Check out the music. It samples Trump saying "Ayatollah Khamenei is dead, dead, dead, dead."
