Here is Ann Coulter's latest column.

When President Donald Trump ordered the killing of Iranian Gen. Qassem Soleimani, he pushed us to possible war with Iran. Article I of the Constitution states that only Congress has the power to declare war.
I urge citizens to contact their congressional representatives to take back their congressional responsibility. Already HR 2354 has passed the House of Representatives and the companion Senate bill S 1039 will be voted on next week, resolutions that state the president cannot take action against Iran without congressional approval.
Also, No War Against Iran has been introduced in the Senate and the House, stating no federal funding would be granted for military force against Iran unless Congress declares war. Congress needs to hear from its citizens.

Note from KBJ: I have no problem with enforcing Article I, as long as it applies to presidents of both parties. Are you with me, Jeanne? I hope your objective is not merely to limit President Trump.

Here we go again, another Con Job by the Do Nothing Democrats. All of this work was supposed to be done by the House, not the Senate!

Donald Trump's approval rating is 49%. Barack Obama's approval rating at the same point of his presidency (14 January 2012) was 46%.

I was amazed at the Jan. 9 letter “Those on the left hate Trump more than they love this country” for two reasons.
First, Charles Michael Sitero trots out the hideous love-it-or-leave-it trope that essentially equates criticism of the president with treason. We’ve seen it before, but it’s still appalling.
Even worse was when Sitero attacks the “disgraceful display of . . . obstruction” coming from “progressives.” He has a short memory. No president in my long lifetime endured the level of willful and partisan obstruction that Barack Obama did (remember Merrick Garland?).
Progressives rightly feel that Donald Trump is a national and international embarrassment, and they have not only a right but an obligation to protect the country from his destructive policies and blatant incompetence.

Note from KBJ: It's a simple question, Sumner: Do you hate Donald Trump? Don't evade the question.
