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.
I don’t care who you are- seeing the President of the United States escorted through North Dakota by the Rough Riders on horseback like Teddy Roosevelt back in 1883 is pretty cool 🇺🇸
Never forget.
This is how Justice Amy Coney Barrett looked at President Trump, the man who put her on the Supreme Court
She looks very bitter.
No wonder why she keeps ruling with the liberals against him.
Get this.
We have flown a regular-sized American flag on the front of our house every day of the 24 years we've lived here.
We have newer neighbors that I would guess are in their early thirties. They have a five-year-old son.
My hubby is friendly with them.
Yesterday, the husband came over and had the nerve to ask my hubby to remove the flag because it, “triggers his son”.
Two things.
First, how does a five-year-old become “triggered” by the flag of his birth? Can you imagine what the parents are drilling into this poor kid?!
Second, the complete NERVE of this guy to ask.
Needless to say, today my husband replaced our regular-sized flag with a HUGE one.
A woman hiking in Canada nearly became a grizzly’s next meal and the video circulating right now is genuinely one of the most intense wildlife encounters you will ever watch - her dog is with her, a massive grizzly is right there, and somehow she kept her head together long enough for both of them to walk away breathing.
That is not a small thing. Most people talk tough until nature is standing ten feet in front of them and every instinct in your body is screaming to run, and running is exactly the worst thing you can do.
Grizzlies are built to chase, they top out over 700 pounds and can cover ground faster than any human alive. The people who survive these moments are the ones who override pure fear with pure discipline and this woman did exactly that.
If you hike, camp, or spend any real time in the wilderness - bear spray is not optional, it is the difference between a story you tell and one somebody else tells about you.
Could you have kept your cool?
Hats off to her.
What in the Cornbread Hell is Kamala Harris talking about now?
She is talking about the “light within you” and saying you cannot turn off the light because, without the light, there will be no light.
The light must come out because the light is already inside you.
Ma’am, what are you talking about
This woman must have found the wine again.
Democrat Congressman Ro Khanna from Silicon Valley just got hit with a massive 239-page ethics complaint exposing how his family made up to 108 million dollars in suspicious stock trades beating the market by 28 million while he sat on key defense and healthcare committees. They timed buys in defense stocks like Boeing Lockheed and Palantir right before big bills passed and drug stocks right before FDA decisions with thousands of trades hidden through family trusts and his wife not even using a real blind trust. Late filings galore same-day insider moves and lobbyist connections all while he pretends to be Mr Clean. This is the swamp at its finest Democrats in Congress getting filthy rich off insider info while pushing their agenda against Trump. President Trump has been exposing this corruption for years and now with real accountability coming these crooks are finally getting the heat they deserve.
Drop a comment if you want Khanna investigated by DOJ and kicked out of Congress.
Repost if youre sick of these career politicians enriching their families on our dime.

I love this. 👇
To the person who wrote this, thank you for sharing what so many of us think of our President.♥️🇺🇸
Mr. President,
⠀
I don’t know if you’ll ever read this. Probably not. But I’m writing it anyway because my wife and I talk about this all the time, and somebody needs to say it out loud.
⠀
We can’t wait for the day you’re no longer President.
⠀
Not because we’re tired of you. The opposite. Because you deserve to go home. You deserve quiet mornings. You deserve to sit on your own porch without the weight of 330 million people sitting on your shoulders. You deserve your family back. You deserve peace.
⠀
You didn’t have to do any of this.
⠀
You had the money.
You had the name.
You had the life most men only dream about.
You could’ve spent the rest of your days golfing, traveling, watching your grandkids grow up.
⠀
Instead you stepped into a fire that nearly cost you everything.
⠀
They mocked you. They sued you. They raided your home. They tried to bankrupt you. They tried to lock you up. They dragged your wife and kids through the mud. They put a bullet through your ear and you got up with your fist in the air and kept going.
⠀
For what?
⠀
For us. Regular people. Truck drivers. Welders. Waitresses. Roughnecks. Farmers. Single moms working two jobs. Grandparents on a fixed income watching the country they built get handed away.
⠀
You didn’t owe us a thing. And you gave us everything.
⠀
You risked your name. Your legacy. Your safety. Your family’s safety. Your brand. Your freedom. All of it. So this country could have one more shot at being what it was supposed to be.
⠀
And the truth nobody wants to admit?
⠀
We didn’t deserve a President like you.
⠀
A nation this divided, this ungrateful, this asleep at the wheel didn’t earn a man willing to bleed for it. But God sent you anyway. And I’ll thank Him for that until the day I die. 🙏
⠀
So when the day finally comes that you walk away from that desk, I hope you sleep good. I hope your wife laughs again without looking over her shoulder. I hope your kids breathe easy. I hope you golf till the sun goes down and nobody bothers you for nothing.
⠀
You earned every bit of it.
⠀
Thank you, Mr. President. From a truck driver in Texas who prays for you often.
⠀
God bless you. God bless your family. And God bless the United States of America. 🇺🇸
