President Donald Trump’s supporters, whom Axios on Sunday referred to as Make America Great Again (MAGA), view it as a choice between the GOP establishment or his base. Republican leaders are worried that if Paxton becomes the GOP nominee he could lose in November to state Rep. James Talarico (D), whom Sen.

If the war with Iran persists for an extended period of time, a lot of people could literally starve. Approximately half of all global food production is dependent on the use of fertilizer. Without fertilizer, crop yields would drop precipitously and there wouldn’t be anywhere near enough food for everyone. Even now, hundreds of millions of people are going to bed hungry every night, and there are severe food shortages in quite a few African nations. This is a trend that I have been closely monitoring for quite some time. We are at a very serious tipping point, and approximately one-fourth of…
