Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News
Thursday, March 05, 2026

The House of Representatives failed to pass the War Powers bill because four Democrats voted AGAINST the resolution that would have forced Donald Trump to seek congressional approval to continue waging the US and Israel's war against the people of Iran.

House Democrats Josh Gottheimer (NJ) and Jared Moskowitz (FL) called this bill the "Ayatollah Protection Act."

To cover their tracks, four less conspicuous Democrats were given the official task of scuppering the bill:

Henry Cuellar (TX), Jared Golden (ME), Greg Landsman (OH), and Juan Vargas (CA).

The resolution failed 219-212.

To no one's surprise, all four of these House Democrats are recipients of heavy AIPAC funding:

I do not agree with their votes.

But, I do have to ask, why did they cast those votes?

Is there an election they may soon be facing?

I am not trying to justify the votes they have cast, votes I disagree with.

But this is politics (not political, but politics).

And the upcoming election is emerging as an important one.

So, are the politicians now starting to put their stake in the ground?

Anyone see the slogans on the Tucker Carlson merch?

"AIPAC an offer you can't refuse."

"NeoCons are gay for Israel"

He'd better watch out before Trump does to him what he did to Charlie Kirk.

why did they cast those votes?

1) they're owned by Israel

2) they were assessed by the DNC to be in safe districts.

3) at this time when Americans, especially democrats, are growing tired of our country being ruled by President Netanyahu, democrats couldn't show full support for Israel. So they had just enough democratic representatives vote to pass the bill without letting Americans see how much Israel controls both parties.

Intro: Afrika Bambaataa]
Speak about destruction
Speak about destruction
Speak about destruction

[Hook: John Lydon & Afrika Bambaataa]
This is a world destruction, your life ain't nothing
The human race is becoming a disgrace
Countries are fighting with chemical warfare

[Verse 1: Afrika Bambaataa]
Not giving a damn about the people who live there
Nostradamus predicts the coming of the Antichrist
Hey, look out, the third world nations are on the rise

The Democratic-Communist relationship
Won't stand in the way of the Islamic force
The CIA is looking for other tactics
The KGB is smarter than you think
Brainwash mentalities to control the system
Using TV and movies, religions of course

**** House Speaker Mike Johnson: "The US is not at war with Iran" ****

Russia is not at war with Ukraine, but is executing a "Special Military Operation" according to Russia President Vladimir Putin.

Israel did not conduct ethnic cleansing in Gaza, but "rescued hostages" according to Israel PM Benjamin Netanyahu.

At a cost of one billion dollars a day to the hardworking American taxpayer, as well as the lives of our Servicemen who died for Israel,
Mike Johnson sniveled the killing of Iranians is a "limited operation."

"We are not at war, we have no intention of being at war," Johnson bleated to reporters after the failed vote to curb Israel's power over the US Congress, calling the war a "limited operation."

Johnson whined it would have been "a very dangerous gambit" to take away the Dummkopf Trumpf's ability to execute what he has called Operation Epstein Fury.

Dummkopf Trumpf has feverishly posted messages on social media at least 30x times today.

Here's one from the morbidly obese pedophilic geriatric golf-cheating baboon and idiotic cat's paw of Benjamin Netanyahu:

"There will be no deal with Iran except UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER! After that, and the selection of a GREAT & ACCEPTABLE Leader(s), we, and many of our wonderful and very brave allies and partners, will work tirelessly to bring Iran back from the brink of destruction, making it economically bigger, better, and stronger than ever before. IRAN WILL HAVE A GREAT FUTURE. "MAKE IRAN GREAT AGAIN (MIGA!)." Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DUMMKOPF J. TRUMPF"
