Congress All Talk, No Action On Iran's Growing Strength In the Middle East

Sen. Cotton correctly highlighted the dangers of Iran's growing presence in the Shi'a Crescent.

You know what would have been even better?

Calling on the President to take action in Syria, Iraq, and elsewhere. I'm not entirely sure why Congress is sitting pretty and watching calmly while the enemy forces are spreading everywhere.

US Should Expel Cuban diplomats and shut down US Embassy in Cuba

Senators Rubio, Cotton, and Cruz (among possibly others) have all expressed concern about the health of the US personnel in Cuba after a series of sonic attacks. All three called for cessation of diplomatic relations with the vile regime, expelling diplomats, shutting down our embassy there, and so forth. The administration has been slow in following this sage advice. The emergency personnel remaining in Cuba is still at risk of attacks. Moreover, our continuing welcoming of Cuban diplomats to the US sends the wrong message after nearly two dozen diplomatic personnel fell victim to mysterious attacks on Cuban soil with not a shred of evidence as to who or what might be responsible. It's time for US to hold the Castro regime accountable for what happens to US diplomats on its soil. Legitimacy and trust should have to be earned.
