“There is a beginning to the lies, January 20, 2025, but there is no end in sight. The war on Iran is just another thing for them to lie about. That this war, in fact any war, involves issues of life and death does not matter to these men. Hegseth sees cabinet secretaries falling all around him and cares only about his own career. Trump sees his poll numbers falling, inflation rising, gas prices going up, and his hold on the meat and potatoes of his presidency fading, and his instinct, as ever, is to just keep lying and denying and lying some more.” —Lucian Truscott.

Amen.
