I often criticized Lindsey Graham. But this weekend, I learned his full story:
- Orphaned young, he adopted & raised his little sister instead of letting her go into the system.
- Grew up dirt poor, racking balls in his parents’ pool hall.
- In search of opportunity, he joined the Air Force. Served 33 years. Retired a Colonel.
- Then spent decades in Congress, earning respect across the aisle.
- Bashed Trump hard in ~2016, then respected the will of the voters, and grew to become a loyal ally.
- Humble. Devoted to his constituents.
- Driven by patriotism (even when misguided). Never in it for the money. Could've cashed in any time like most of his colleagues.
- That Disney trip everyone mocked? Just a good uncle taking his beloved nieces. He smiled through (and ignored) the hate to protect his family.
RIP to a self-made American original.
@sarahtexe Yes. It’s one of the reasons I voted for him. A strong commander and chief who doesn’t allow our enemies to chant death to America and get away with it. We must be feared and not go on apology tours like Obama did.
@ChristinaPushaw I’m usually against Pride displays but because Iran is against it, all of a sudden I think we should shove it in their face with a full on gay pride parade and drag show lol. 😂
How to succeed in the Democratic Party in 2026:
1. Be a Muslim or convert.
2. Openly declare that you hate America and want to destroy it.
3. Openly support Hamas.
That’s it.
Meet those three requirements and you’ll automatically be considered a ‘progressive.’ The new Palestine-first Democratic base will vote for you in droves.
@EricLDaugh We are giving Iran a lifeline by opening up their ecconomy and allowing them to make billions selling oil. All that money can go to rebuilding their weapons and sponsoring more terrorism.
Iran can now sell oil. China buys more of Iran’s oil than any country. Upwards of 90%. They will be thrilled. What are the safeguards to prevent the Iranian regime from using the money to rebuild its war machine? I see none. Does that concern anybody? And please don’t blame Israel. We’re doing this with our Qatari and Pakistani friends.
Was it Joseph Goebbels who said in 1939: "those monsters move millions of dollars in dark money to preserve their single goal: to divide us so they can hold on to power"
No, it was Zohran Mamdani in 2026.
Any historian or academic pretending not to know what is going on here is either lying to themselves or to the public.
@EricLDaugh Surrendering to terrorists isn’t making America proud. He is making us look weak and giving in to radical Islam. Europe has already fallen. I never thought MAGA would fall for Islamic takeover.
The mayor of the city with the world’s largest Jewish population is pushing conspiracy theories about “money men” who “move millions in dark money” to “turn us against one another” — and calling them “monsters.” Subtle.
@globeandmail Actually I would like to encourage my children to become the next Elon. To dream big, work hard, create jobs for thousands, and change the world.
A second woman says Graham Platner knew the Nazi origins of his Totenkopf tattoo, contradicting his claim that he only learned of its meaning last fall.
She also alleges he cheated on his fiancée and described the tattoo as a reminder that “the US was the evil bad guy.” (NYP)
