Since the start of the war in Iran, President Trump and his administration have casually dismissed the fact that they are having Americans killed in the war of their choice.The constant dismissal and disregard for the human life that has been and continues to be lost is rarely discussed in the mainstream media, but it is frequently present in comments from administration officials.Previous presidential administrations have agonized over decisions they knew could cost American families dearly.

Things are getting very strange in the U.S. Senate Republican primary runoff elections in Texas. After Trump tried to end the runoff by volunteering to host a Bachelor-style reality show where he gets to choose the contestant, either Paxton or Senator John Cornyn, and the person who doesn’t get approval must drop out, Attorney General Paxton apparently shouted, “Hold my felony indictment and made his own offer.”PoliticusUSA is nonpartisan and not beholden to any political party, corporation, or special interest.

When a president has a cabinet full of loyalists, many of whom worked for a cable news network that critics call state television, the administration will likely have difficulty speaking to and rallying a large and diverse nation like the United States.Before Trump chose him to run the Pentagon, Pete Hegseth was a C-level talent on Fox News who spent his time with other C-level talent on Fox and Friends Weekend. Hegseth never possessed the biography or gravitas necessary to look like a serious leader capable of rallying the country around a war if necessary.After his first attempt at briefing…

The worst kept secret in American politics is that Marco Rubio desperately wants to be president, but he has none of the skills of a potentially adequate president. Rubio first tried to defeat Trump in 2016, and when it didn’t work, to put it mildly, then-Sen. Rubio began his gradual transformation into Trump’s super lapdog, culminating in his appointment as Trump’s secretary of state. Sarah Jones debunks Trump’s lies about war on Iran:As secretary of state, Rubio has not been the level playing field that many of his former Senate colleagues had hoped for. In fact, Rubio’s worst and most…
