++It's a snow day here in DC, Congress is on recess--again, and no wars have been declared--yet. But Congress only has two days after Recess to fund the Department of Homeland Security.
++John Boehner hasn't entertained a clean bill--yet. Polls show that a healthy majority believe the GOP will be at fault if Homeland Security closes down. About 30% blame Obama, the same who blame him for anything. So, as Ed Kilgore, says he's on safe territory.
++But Dr. Ben Carson, neurosurgeon and presidential aspirant,says Obama will be committing treason if DHS shuts down.
++IN his fight against political correctness Carson believes that the rules of war do not apply in fighting ISIS. Of course, these weren't developed by liberals but grew out of actual conflict and religious traditions.But we are exceptional so they shouldn't apply to us.
++Meanwhile, Congress has not approved a new Authorization of Military Force despite President Obama submitting a new one. Marc "I Love Torture" Theissen says he doesn't have to.
++I got blasted via e-mails last night that Obama has violated the War Powers Act but not notifying Congress about the use of force by 90 days within fighting ISIS. I was told that this was unprecedented. Sorry, folks, I remember Richard Nixon bombing Cambodia and not asking permission from Congress or notifying anyone.
++Our ace Israeli ambassador says today that it will be worth it for Bibi to speak to Congress even if it destroys his relationship with the President of the United States. I have no idea where this meaningless flap in going.
