When the United States military shows up, kings and kingdoms fall to their knees. As the great philosopher Toby Keith once said, ``We put a boot in their ass, it's the American way.'' Our military preeminence is unmatched, our brand is dominance. But our greatness lies in temperance. America first means power under control. Overzealous executives have wrenched away a precious power bestowed on this body. I am here to remind them: Congress declares war, not Joe Biden, not some woke general. Congress, the people, must debate, decide, and then, if absolutely necessary, declare war. The Constitution is our compass, not the feelings of some bought-off military-industrial complex war hawk who uses emotion to justify America's entry into every overseas conflict. Congress must reclaim our power to declare war, and if we do declare, we must define what victory looks like. The sons and daughters of America are too precious to waste on the altar of globalism. America first, always and forever. ____________________
