At the end of a particularly thrilling and rollicking meeting in the Oval Office, Lindsey Graham turned to the room and said: “I’ve never had this much fun in my life.”

I cannot describe to you how much joy President Trump’s leadership and friendship brought to Lindsey. Meetings with Graham at the White House were filled with camaraderie, kinship and uproarious laughter.

As heartbreaking as his sudden passing is, I hope it will bring some measure of comfort to those who cherished him to know just how much he was living his dream every day. Very rarely in life do you get to be exactly where you want to be, when you want to be there, with who you want to be with, doing precisely what you want to do — that was every moment for Lindsey.

When President Trump won in Nov 2024, Lindsey was exultant. Elated. And determined. He couldn’t wait to spearhead work, as the Budget Chairman, on the reconciliation bill that would cement President Trump’s most important campaign promises. I’ll never forget the senate lunch, when a couple Senators were a tad off the program, and Lindsey — in his inimitable way — made sure everyone was onside by the time we left. It was a glorious thing to witness. He knew how to move a room.

Lindsey was a senator’s senator. The job was everything to him. Truly did he believe in the splendor of the office and the noble lineage behind it, of which he was the worthy heir.

He was a senator in the mold of those who fashioned the institution, someone who still had the ability, in a heated exchange, to use rhetorical power to change the course of events.

Which is why we will never forget his legendary Kavanaugh moment. We rarely think that we are out of time with our friends, so while there is a lot more I wish I could have said to Lindsey, I am glad that more than once I told him what that moment meant to the whole nation and why he was the only Senator who could have done it with such utter perfection.

Most importantly, I had the chance to tell him on many occasions what his friendship meant to me and to us all. There was never once a time he didn’t answer a phone call and lend whatever assistance was required. It was never a question with Lindsey. He believed deeply in the code of friendship and loyalty.

The fact that Lindsey started out as a political opponent only to become one the President’s most steadfast and faithful supporters underscores that Lindsey believed emphatically in the voice of the people.

There is a lot more I would like to say. His passing, at a time when he had never been more dynamic, is as unexpected as it is shocking. In many respects, Lindsey was the last of a breed of American Senator whose like we may not yet see again for a long time.

He lived every minute in the arena, a political gladiator to the very last.

More than anything now, our thoughts are with his Sister, nieces and loved ones.

We pray that God will ease their sorrow and heal their pain.

Lindsey can never be replaced and will never be forgotten.

Godspeed, my friend.

Were you aware that VAXELIS, a 6-in-1 pediatric vaccine, was approved by the FDA?

Nothing will ever change.

The blackmail begins.

After a humiliating strategic failure, the US is now preparing to release $6 billion in frozen Iranian funds, because Iran is threatening to close the Strait of Hormuz.

This is what “winning” looks like.

Paying ransom to the regime you just failed to defeat.

The humiliation is complete.

@InformedNJNurse Anything on the childhood schedule is coveted under NVICP which is why they were so aggressive about adding it. Why are people spreading false information about this?

Qatar is all over our government. A nation of 330,000 and 1 million indentured servants, biggest funder of terrorism, destroying our schools, etc., has the run of DC.  The Qatari lobby has a massive presence.  It has spent hundreds of BILLIONS in our country.  It’s ubiquitous. 

Thoughts.

The difference between
Marco Rubio & JD Vance is huge!

Rubio nails a Lebanon-Israel
peace deal the region actually needs.

JD is begging the terrorist Islamic
Republic for peace…
like anyone wants that 😂

[Adam Mossoff @AdamMossoff]

More Rubio. Less Vance.

Tom Barrack, Trump’s Ambassador to Turkey with zero diplomatic experience, is busy congratulating Turkey for beating the United States in soccer.

This is the same man who helped sideline the Kurds, killed the plan to pressure Iran, pushed al-Sharaa (a former al-Qaeda leader with a $10 million bounty on his head) into power, and played a major role in this entire strategic disaster.

Brilliant work, Ambassador.

@fleshgordon2001 @InformedNJNurse It’s a question 🤷‍♀️

[Hillel Fuld @HilzFuld]

When I say that @GovMikeHuckabee delivered a historic speech at today’s conference, I am not kidding.

If I had any doubts that we are living in messianic times, Ambassador Huckabee reassures me on a daily basis.

This man will be remembered favorably in history books when they tell the story of how western civilization abandoned its moral compass.

I voted for your dad in the 2016 Republican primary, the 2016 election, the 2020 election, and the 2024 election. I’m not a “Never Trumper.” The deal with Iran sucks.

Meanwhile, here’s what JD Vance, the guy selling the deal, thought of your dad:

[Syrians love israelis @SY_Love_IL]

I searched J.D. Vance's political positions and came across this video, where he says his favorite politician is Bernie Sanders.

His hostility toward Israel is not new. It's simply surfacing now because he finally has the opportunity to act on it.

No wonder he sided with the IRGC against Israel.
