@MargoinWNC instead of flubbing up names of counties, why isn’t he calling out the name he does know- Thom Tillis and demanding he votes for the SAVE act NOW…..show an inkling of leadership 😬
I’m sorry, but Lindsey Graham dying out of the blue like this doesn’t make any sense at all.
We have him on camera yesterday looking perfectly healthy.
None of this is making any sense…
@OldeWorldOrder The Lord literally gave Americans a government of the people, by the people for the people- WE are the government and as such should ALWAYS be involved in policy aka politics. For too long Christians have sat aside and not contended for the city ( state, country) they are in
Lindsey Graham's parents died within 15 months of each other when his sister Darline was 13. He became her guardian and raised her.
He was a military lawyer, a Judge Advocate General (JAG), after getting his psychology degree.
He once served as head prosecutor in Europe in USAF. He retired as a colonel and earned a Bronze Star. He also served in the Guard and Reserve.
He was a constitutional law scholar, and when asked a question about legislation, would frequently speak at length about the constitution.
He had a wicked sense of humor.
He loved his state, the military, and his country.
He loved his sister most of all.
Radio traffic from response to Sen. Graham’s home: Emergency radio traffic indicates that Senator Lindsey Graham suffered chest pains before going into cardiac arrest Saturday night. Efforts to revive the South Carolina lawmaker were not successful. Graham died two days after his 71st birthday.
This is the second time within a month that the DC Fire & EMS Department was dispatched to the Capitol Hill home of a Republican U.S. Senator reported to be in cardiac arrest. The first was Senator Mitch McConnell from Kentucky on June 14th.
The radio traffic from https://t.co/DXLk3t0e9D indicates that the 911 caller last night was a woman in Baltimore. The crew from Engine 7 arrived and could not get anyone to answer the door. They apparently forced entry into the home. The radio traffic gives the impression that Senator Graham may not have immediately been in cardiac arrest when they arrived, but there is no confirmation of that information. Here’s the unofficial timeline for the call:
· 8:27:34 Engine 7 and Medic 7 (a paramedic ambulance) were dispatched to Graham’s home on South Capitol Street SE (I’ve omitted the street numbers).
· 8:32:34 Engine 7 requested a callback to get someone inside to open the locked front door.
· 8:33:34 (timestamp missing on video) Dispatcher reported that the caller said she was not in the home and the door is unlocked.
· 8:34:15 Dispatcher reported that the caller asked if they knocked on the door, believing the patient would answer. Engine 7 responded, “Yes. Repeatedly.”
· 8:35:05 Dispatcher said the caller is coming from Baltimore. The dispatcher asked Engine 7 if they would like a ladder truck company to force entry and asked about the need for DC Police. Engine 7 said they will need police, but they could handle forcing entry into the home.
· 8:53:28 Engine 7 reported CPR was in progress “now” and requested an EMS supervisor (standard on cardiac arrest calls).
· 8:54:00 EMS 6, an EMS supervisor, was dispatched.
· 9:13:41 Battalion Chief 2 told the dispatcher to attach him to the run with Engine 7 (this is not routine on most cardiac arrest calls and is likely an indication of who the patient was).

@dogwoodblooms folks - this happens when land use plans are formulated and passed by counties and towns…..there are public hearings required and NO ONE shows up to say no….i’ve been the lone soul or one of a few folks in my town following the planning boards and councils on this….
As Mitch McConnell is MIA, when the Senate returns Monday Ted Cruz will chair the Rules Committe.
If he doesn't advance the SAVE America Act, he needs to be primaried.
We won't forget, Ted.
If you're MAGA, prove it.
A John MacArthur clip is going around right now where he says nothing political or social "has anything to do with the advancement of the kingdom of God."
Thousands of Christians are bookmarking it. Reposting it. Treating it like settled doctrine because a famous man said it in a confident voice at a Q&A.
Let me show you what your Bible actually says.
Joseph of Arimathea used his political standing to retrieve the body of Christ. Without his seat on the Sanhedrin, that body stays on the cross and the burial never happens. That was political standing used for the kingdom.
Daniel served in the government of Babylon. He governed as a believer inside a pagan empire, and God used that position to preserve an entire people.
Esther used her political position in a foreign court to stop a genocide. She walked into the throne room and risked her life because the kingdom of God was operating through that system.
Nehemiah had a political office under a pagan king. He used that office to rebuild the walls of Jerusalem. Actual stone and mortar. A political act that directly advanced the purposes of God.
Moses walked straight into Pharaoh's court. Ten plagues targeted the political and religious systems of Egypt simultaneously.
Jesus Himself was executed by a political system. The crucifixion was a Roman political act. And the resurrection was God's answer to it.
The idea that the kingdom of God operates in some separate lane from politics and culture is not in your Bible. The entire Old Testament is the story of God working through nations, governments, judges, and kings.
And the theology is only half of why that clip matters.
The other half is how fast Christians adopted it as their own position without ever opening the text to check.
A famous man says something with authority and a clip goes viral. Thousands of believers treat it as settled.
I used to stitch my faith together from pieces of other men. A little of this pastor, a little of that podcast, whatever sounded smart that week. Then my kid asked me a question about the Bible and I realized I was quoting everyone except the Book.
That's the disease. We have been trained to follow personalities instead of Scripture. Trained to let a man's reputation do the work our own study was supposed to do.
You can respect a man and still hold his words up against the text. You should. That's what the Bereans did in Acts 17:11. They heard Paul preach and then searched the scriptures daily to see whether those things were so. The apostle Paul himself, and they still checked him.
If the Bereans checked Paul, you can check anyone.
Read your Bible.
🚨 WOW! President Trump now has FBI Director KASH PATEL involved in the investigation to FIND THE LEAKER behind NYT's report that 47 switched Air Force One planes in Turkey because of a security threat — NYT
The fake news is PANICKING right now!
Subpoenas sent out, investigation is surging, and the leakers are trembling 🔥
It's simple: leaking sensitive security information regarding the president while he's OVERSEAS, literally BORDERING a country we're involved with conflict against, is betrayal.
No matter where you stood on Lindsey Graham, his defense of Brett Kavanaugh will be remembered as one of the defining moments of his career.
Rest in peace, Senator.
