This is more impressive when you realize Mississippi was 49th in the country in 4th grade reading in 2013.
Here is a good article on how illiteracy is a policy choice being made in a lot of blue states: https://t.co/Pa9VMOXBBc
This guy ruined his own life, and stole someone else’s, for absolutely nothing. The left encourages and celebrates people like this but they are absolute losers who don’t move the needle at all. No one got better healthcare because of this zero.

You don't get to spend years pushing to fundamentally transform the country, divide it on racial lines, inject DEI into every institution, and then try to brush it off as a minor misunderstanding when your worldview turns out to be extremely unpopular with the American people.
"I always wanted to make you right. And I know you trusted me, and that allowed us to be great."
@Drewbrees had a special relationship with his head coach Sean Payton.
Stephanie White grew up playing on girls' teams before and in high school, and the women's teams in college and the WNBA. She had a wildly successful career as a female athlete, and now coaches a WNBA team.
Yet she has no idea why female sports exist.
Oh Pete’s sake, he wouldn’t even answer when asked about the color of the rug on the floor. He was not going to answer any questions, no matter what they were.
From the snippets of Fauci emails that I've seen, the thing that most infuriates me is that Fauci *knew* that "dissenters" like @DrJBhattacharya were honest actors making reasonable arguments but he coordinated attacks on them anyway.
Courage is inspiring. If you want to change the culture, courageously speak truth at every opportunity. And then don’t back down. That’s how you change the culture.
This is the position of 70+% of Americans. It’s also common sense.
The fact that so many in the press and associated institutions treat it as something morally abhorrent and feel the need to grill a female athlete for voicing it shows how disconnected they are from reality.
They’ll praise a lunatic who murdered tens of millions of people, and in the same breath, claim they care deeply about a non-existent genocide in Gaza.
No one should ever take these people seriously.
This was a profoundly necessary, cathartic moment, giving voice to the righteous fury and disgust of millions. It marked a striking departure from his typically charming, winsome, humorous, bipartisanship-minded demeanor. Arguably his finest hour. Thank you, Senator. RIP.
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.
