House Majority Leader Steve Scalise said on Saturday that the chamber will vote on Israel legislation next week in the wake of Iran launching an aerial attack.

The brief statement didn’t address what House Republicans are planning to take up, amid bipartisan calls to bring up a foreign aid package. Instead, the No. 2 House Republican said that “more details on the legislative items to be considered will be forthcoming.”

FACT - Israel bombed an Iranian Embassy and killed people

That was on Iranian territory by international Law. The entire world should have condemned that.

I am sick of all sides - I am sick of the lies. I am sick of the enablers. That is all.
