This New Year, remember, we are all one. We share the same joys & trials. I have faith in the resolution, resilience and goodness of the American people. I have faith in you & me. I believe in America. Let's make her shine. Have a happy, healthy & abundant 2025. Peace to all.
I wrote this knowing a lot of my old friends in Washington are going to hate this one, but it's necessary.
The Power Addict: A Cold-Eyed Look At Lindsey Graham
Link in bio and comments.
When I heard about Senator Graham’s death last night, the first thing I thought about was not all the things he said and did in service of Donald Trump. I thought of the time before Donald Trump when he was a brother to Senator John McCain.
A time when senators from different parties could fight about politics and still be friends. A time when a conservative Republican from South Carolina could say of my father: “If you can’t admire Joe Biden as a person, you’ve got a problem. He’s the nicest person I’ve ever met in politics. As good a man as God ever created.”
That is the Senator Graham I will remember today. Not because I have forgotten what came after. Because in that memory there is hope. Hope for a country where brothers can fight like hell over policy and still share a meal, and a laugh, and the loss of the people they love.
I will choose to remember the time before Trump. Because I believe in an America after Trump.
Another one of @MirandaDevine’s favorite sources is going to jail.
Miles Guo got 30 years yesterday for a billion-dollar fraud.
He was Steve Bannon’s business partner. Together they built GTV. GTV pushed the doctored photos and smears about me. They built the Laptop from Hell narrative. Devine made it famous. Guo even had a Mar-a-Lago membership.
He joins Alexander Smirnov. Six years for fabricating the Burisma bribery story that drove the impeachment inquiry against my father. Smirnov admitted he made it up.
And Gal Luft. Still a fugitive. Indicted for acting as an unregistered Chinese agent after paying a Trump adviser to push Beijing’s line in public.
All three came after me and my father. All three are liars and frauds. All three served the interests of Donald Trump. And they are just the tip of the iceberg.
Follow me on Substack where I’ll be sharing the whole story soon.
