Are war powers the same as a declaration of war?
There has been much controversy over this question and we are going to explore it on today’s show. I know folks want to streamline politics as much as possible, but to take something as important as committing our country to war, we need to slow down and take out time.
If the continental United states or her territories where attacked directly, you would find very few Americans who would disagree with a president, defending our country without a declaration of war. To repel an attack is in the purview of the commander and chiefs authority.
But if the continental United States or her territories is not directly attacked, does the same hold true? If an American interest over seas is attacked, can the president act without congressional approval? To go to war with a country to effect regime change, is that within congress’s or the presidents power?

The more things change, the more they stay the same
I think the world is going mad, at least this modern version of it. Most of the American people who voted for Donald Trump as president thought they were getting someone different, someone who would not make the same mistakes as other presidents in the past. They were hoodwinked!!!
How many countries are we going to pick a fight with? Lets try to count, Syria, Somalia, North Korea, ISIS (not a country but they act like one). We are still fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan, and it’s any ones guess for how much longer.
I had the smallest of hopes that President Trump would be different, would be able to go against the system. But it was just a small hope. My prayer is that Constitutionally minded folks will continue to speak up and oppose Americas foreign policies as they are today, and get us out of empire building and back to our roots of being friends to those who will accept us as friends, and only use military force to defend ourselves. Getting entangled in other countries internal affairs is a bad idea for all parties involved!!!

by Dan Clements, Your Constitutional Warrior Friday April 14, 2017 One of the hardest things to accept in life is that we don’t know as much as we thing we do. The human ego is a fragile thing and everyone has an ego. Egos manifest themselves in varying degrees, but we all have one, and sometime our egos get in…

Ryancare lite
Today congress will try to vote on repealing Obamacare, and replacing it with Ryancare. A vast majority of Americans are concerned about the outcome of a vote on the ACA and repealing it.
For the sake of the constitution and America, the ACA needs to repealed without a replacement that keeps the government in charge of our healthcare. To do anything else would be to go back on campaign promises that were made to the American people, mainly to repeal Obamacare!!!
Anytime government tries to control anything that a sovereign individual should be taking care of themselves, it never ends well. In order for the government to handle stuff, freedom and liberty, of necessity, needs to be curtailed!!! This is the nature of government that is socialistic, freedom and liberty die, so safety and security imposed by the government can take it’s place.
There are no guarantees in life except from God. So knowing this how can anyone believe that government can guarantee anything will work if we just give them control?

The first thing we need to address is, are all beliefs equal? Are some beliefs based in facts and truth and others are not? Yesterday we looked at the difference in the Critical theory and the Socratic method. Critical Theory looks for facts in support of a conclusion already believed, and the other test beliefs, facts and truth to see if it can be supported in reality. I dare say most personally held beliefs fall in the first camp of a conclusion in search of facts.
Forcing what you believe to be true or factual on others is not the best way to get someone to change their minds. If you have to force your beliefs on anyone, are they worth supporting in the first place? Beliefs that are not based in real truths, facts and reality are not beliefs at all, but just fanciful wishes of the way some folks want things to be!!!
