🇺🇸 SECRETARY RUBIO WARNS FAR-LEFT TERROR NETWORKS ARE EXPANDING GLOBALLY

Secretary of State Marco Rubio warned dozens of foreign governments that violent far-left political extremism is becoming a growing international threat.

Rubio said extremist groups are coordinating across borders through funding, communications, and recruitment, and announced the Trump administration will expand terrorist designations while urging allies to dismantle these networks.

Rubio also warned that communist ideology envisions a world without God, and will do or say whatever it has to in order to get its hooks into a free society.

The fact that nearly half of House Democrats voted against U.S. aid to Israel speaks volumes about how quickly the party is being taken over by radical anti-Israel leftists. Where are the Democrats of conscience who stood with Israel for so many years?

🚨#BREAKING: Video footage has been released that allegedly shows the condition of the home that 16 CHILDREN were rescued from in Ohio.

An 18-month-old baby was living here.

Two children are currently in Level 1 trauma centers because of their condition.

This is pure evil.

Darline Graham Nordone is exceptionally qualified to serve.

With years leading the South Carolina Commission for the Blind and previous roles at the Department of Employment and Workforce and Clemson University, she has dedicated her career to public service.

Most importantly, she shares Lindsey’s heart for South Carolina–I know she’ll make our state proud finishing his term.

[Congressman William Timmons @RepTimmons]

Over the last decade, I had the privilege of knowing Lindsey Graham not just as a United States Senator, but as a mentor, a travel companion, a golf partner, and, most importantly, a friend.

We traveled together on congressional delegation trips around the world, spent countless hours talking about politics, life, South Carolina, and played what had to be close to 100 rounds of golf together. Some of my favorite memories weren't in Congress—they were walking fairways, talking through the issues of the day, and enjoying a game he truly loved.

We even had a standing rule: if a world leader called while we were playing, Lindsey could answer the phone and I'd automatically give him a par. It happened more than you'd think. Calls from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, President Donald Trump, or President Volodymyr Zelenskyy weren't unusual. Somehow, Lindsey could seamlessly transition from discussing the most consequential issues in the world to reading a putt and asking whether I thought it broke left or right.

One memory I'll treasure forever is when I was the only person fortunate enough to witness Lindsey make a double eagle on the 9th hole at his beloved Cliffs at Mountain Park. Anyone who knew him knows that was one of the proudest moments of his golfing life.

For all that Lindsey accomplished, what always impressed me most was where he came from.

He was the embodiment of the American dream.

After losing both of his parents as a young man, Lindsey made the extraordinary decision to raise his younger sister, Darline. He often spoke about how survivor Social Security benefits helped the two of them make it through those unimaginably difficult years. He never forgot where he came from, and he never forgot the responsibility he carried.

Long before the Senate, he was working in his family's liquor store and pool hall in Central, South Carolina. Those experiences shaped the way he saw the world. He could relate just as easily to a mechanic, a waitress, or a soldier as he could to a president or prime minister because he had lived a life that looked a lot more like theirs than Washington's.

His service to our country extended far beyond Congress. Lindsey proudly served for more than three decades in the Air Force and Air Force Reserves, ultimately attaining the rank of colonel. President George W. Bush personally officiated his promotion ceremony to full bird colonel, an honor that reflected the respect he had earned through decades of military service. As someone who also wears the uniform, I was fortunate to have Lindsey as a mentor there as well. He taught me that public service does not begin or end with elected office, but that it is a lifelong commitment to something greater than yourself.

Lindsey was a fierce advocate for South Carolina and for America, but those of us who knew him personally will remember something even more important. He was loyal. He invested in people. He gave candid advice, expected your best, celebrated your successes, and picked you up after your failures. He made countless people better simply because they had the privilege of knowing him.

My heart is with his extraordinary staff, who stood beside him through every challenge and every victory, and especially with his beloved sister, Darline, who was always at the center of his life.

I will miss the golf, the conversations, the advice, the laughter, and yes—even the phone ringing in the middle of a round because another world leader needed Lindsey Graham.

Thank you for your friendship, your mentorship, and your example. Rest easy, my friend. South Carolina—and our nation—are far better because you were here.

[Alan Wilson @AGAlanWilson]

Today, Jennifer and I join all South Carolinians in mourning the passing of my friend, Senator Lindsey Graham.

For more than three decades, Lindsey dedicated his life to serving South Carolina and our nation. From his service in the United States Air Force to the U.S. House and the United States Senate, he never stopped fighting for the people he was elected to represent. His love for South Carolina was unmistakable, and he carried our state’s values with him everywhere he went.

I’ve been blessed to know Lindsey for many years. Behind the tough, relentless advocate the public saw was someone with an incredible sense of humor and an infectious laugh. He could fill a room with stories, make you laugh when you needed it most, and somehow find the right joke even in the middle of the most serious conversations. That wit was matched by an unwavering loyalty to his friends and a generosity that many people never saw.

Lindsey lived a remarkable life of service, but what I’ll remember most is the friend I had the privilege to know. His counsel, his encouragement, and the countless conversations we shared over the years are memories I will always treasure.

Jennifer and I are praying for Lindsey’s sister, Darline, his family, his many close friends, and the dedicated members of his staff who became like family throughout his years of service. We pray that God surrounds them with His peace, comfort, and strength in the difficult days ahead.

Rest in peace, my friend. Thank you for your lifetime of faithful service to South Carolina and the United States of America. You left an indelible mark on our state, and your legacy will endure for generations to come.

The violence we witnessed in North Charleston is unacceptable. There is no place in South Carolina for mob violence or attacks on law enforcement.

Anyone who assaults a police officer, fires a weapon into a crowd, or threatens public safety should be arrested, prosecuted, and held fully accountable.

South Carolina is a state of law and order. We will not tolerate mob rule. https://t.co/NtB5ziQ63f

Kids as young as TWELVE-YEARS-OLD were seen out until 2AM BEATING each other, THROWING FIREWORKS AT BYSTANDERS, and multiple WEAPONS were found hidden on the teens.

WE DON'T HAVE TO LIVE LIKE THIS!!!!!

[Matt Van Swol @mattvanswol]

🚨#BREAKING: Absolutely HORRIFYING footage has emerged from a "teen takeover" in North Charleston SC.

It appears that a White female police officer was severely BEATEN by a mob of Black teens... including with what appears to be a Roman Candle.

This is hard to watch.

"About the Declaration there is a finality that is exceedingly restful. It is often asserted that the world has made a great deal of progress since 1776, that we have had new thoughts and new experiences which have given us a great advance over the people of that day, and that we may therefore very well discard their conclusions for something more modern. But that reasoning can not be applied to this great charter.

If all men are created equal, that is final. If they are endowed with inalienable rights, that is final. If governments derive their just powers from the consent of the governed, that is final.

No advance, no progress can be made beyond these propositions. If anyone wishes to deny their truth or their soundness, the only direction in which he can proceed historically is not forward, but backward toward the time when there was no equality, no rights of the individual, no rule of the people. Those who wish to proceed in that direction can not lay claim to progress. They are reactionary. Their ideas are not more modern, but more ancient, than those of the Revolutionary fathers...

Our forefathers came to certain conclusions and decided upon certain courses of action which have been a great blessing to the world. Before we can understand their conclusions we must go back and review the course which they followed. We must think the thoughts which they thought. Their intellectual life centered around the meetinghouse. They were intent upon religious worship. While there were always among them men of deep learning, and later those who had comparatively large possessions, the mind of the people was not so much engrossed in how much they knew, or how much they had, as in how they were going to live. While scantily provided with other literature, there was a wide acquaintance with the Scriptures. Over a period as great as that which measures the existence of our independence they were subject to this discipline not only in their religious life and educational training, but also in their political thought. They were a people who came under the influence of a great spiritual development and acquired a great moral power.

No other theory is adequate to explain or comprehend the Declaration of Independence. It is the product of the spiritual insight of the people. We live in an age of science and of abounding accumulation of material things. These did not create our Declaration. Our Declaration created them. The things of the spirit come first. Unless we cling to that, all our material prosperity, overwhelming though it may appear, will turn to a barren scepter in our grasp. If we are to maintain the great heritage which has been bequeathed to us, we must be like-minded as the fathers who created it. We must not sink into a pagan materialism. We must cultivate the reverence which they had for the things that are holy. We must follow the spiritual and moral leadership which they showed. We must keep replenished, that they may glow with a more compelling flame, the altar fires before which they worshiped."

- Calvin Coolidge, whose birthday is today - this is how they celebrated in 1926.

[Benjamin Domenech @bdomenech]

“The time is now near at hand which must probably determine whether Americans are to be Freemen, or Slaves; whether they are to have any property they can call their own; whether their Houses, and Farms, are to be pillaged and destroyed, and they consigned to a State of Wretchedness from which no human efforts will probably deliver them.

"The fate of unborn Millions will now depend, under God, on the Courage and Conduct of this army. Our cruel and unrelenting Enemy leaves us no choice but a brave resistance, or the most abject submission; this is all we can expect. We have therefore to resolve to conquer or die. Our own Country’s Honor, all call upon us for a vigorous and manly exertion, and if we now shamefully fail, we shall become infamous to the whole world.”

“Let us therefore rely upon the goodness of the Cause, and the aid of the supreme Being, in whose hands Victory is, to animate and encourage us to great and noble Actions—The Eyes of all our Countrymen are now upon us, and we shall have their blessings, and praises, if happily we are the instruments of saving them from the Tyranny meditated against them. Let us therefore animate and encourage each other, and shew the whole world, that a Freeman contending for Liberty on his own ground is superior to any slavish mercenary on earth.”

- George Washington, July 2nd, 1776, before the Battle of Long Island.
