President Trump has been assured about the fate of his immortal soul, according to a letter he posted on Sunday on Truth Social on Palm Sunday. Franklin Graham, the son of a late legendary televangelist, assured the commander in chief in a private letter that his “soul is secure,” and he is “bound for heaven” if he accepts Jesus Christ as God, in the note sent last year. Graham, a key evangelical ally of Trump, wrote to him last year after the president jokingly questioned whether or not he would make it to heaven. “It is an important issue to...

@wendyp4545 Graham is going to win his Primary again because the people in South Carolina repeat the same mistakes every single time that he is up for reelection. To the voters in South Carolina: To get rid of Graham, you need to rally your vote around 1 single challenger. As it stands today, you're splitting the vote between the 2 challengers which allows Graham to slide in and win it. Graham has used this same strategy every reelection and like clockwork, the people in South Carolina keep repeating the same mistake.

Florida Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R) on Sunday said Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) was acting as if U.S. soldiers were “expendable cattle” following his comments about the possibility of losing servicemembers in battle. “I am deeply upset at the lack of respect for life Senator Lindsey Graham is displaying when talking about our troops. He is acting as if they are expendable cattle. This is unacceptable and dark. There were over 26,000 American casualties at Iwo Jima,” Luna wrote in a post on the social platform X, with a clip of Graham’s remarks on Fox News’s “Fox News Sunday.” During...

NOW - Lindsey Graham pleads with Trump to join the Israeli military fighting in Lebanon

A senior US senator clashed with Danish and Greenlandic leaders on the margins of the Munich Security Conference last week, refueling fears that the US appetite for the Arctic island has not faded. Tensions in US-Danish relations had calmed after Donald Trump walked back threats to deploy military force to acquire Greenland and to impose tariffs on eight European countries that were deploying troops on the island. But during a meeting with the two European leaders — Denmark’s Mette Frederiksen and Greenland’s Jens-Frederik Nielsen — Republican lawmaker Lindsey Graham warned that if Trump wanted Greenland, Washington could simply take it,...

FBI Director Kash Patel has fired agents involved in tracking phone calls of eight Republican senators and a congressman as part of former Special Counsel Jack Smith’s investigation of President Donald Trump. Communication records belonging to GOP Sens. Lindsey Graham (SC), Marsha Blackburn (TN), Ron Johnson (WI), Josh Hawley (MO), Cynthia Lummis (WY), Bill Hagerty (TN), Dan Sullivan (AK), Tommy Tuberville (AL), and Rep. Mike Kelly (PA) were handed over to Smith’s “Arctic Frost” team after they subpoenaed major phone companies in 2023, Breitbart News reported. That fact was unknown to the public until this week, with Patel saying he...

Texas Republican Congressman Brandon Gil has filed articles of impeachment against US District Judge James Boasberg amid revelations that the Obama-appointed activist approved secret subpoenas to seize private phone records of Senators in the sham “Arctic Frost” investigation. It was revealed last week that the FBI and DOJ weaponized their power to target President Trump, former Vice President Mike Pence, and their allies to dig up dirt on Republicans and activists who participated in efforts to overturn the rigged 2020 election. As The Gateway Pundit reported, Senate Judiciary Committee Chair Chuck Grassley said last week that “197 subpoenas were issued...

Ranking Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee Rep. Jim Himes (Conn) took issue with the Trump Administration policy of having the US Navy blow up drug smugglers boats, saying "Sen Graham (SC) and other Republicans say it's okay to kill suspected drug smugglers, just so long as the American public supports it. What will they say when President Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez orders a strike on a MAGA demonstration or suppresses the speech of individuals who disagree with her policies? Do they really want to establish a precedent that the president can do whatever he or she wants?" "What precedent is he...

Democratic Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner’s national finance director announced his resignation on Friday, marking the latest departure an exodus of personnel from a campaign dogged by controversy at every turn. Ronald Holmes, who started working for Platner’s campaign in August, announced his immediate exit in a LinkedIn post, saying he is “no longer fully aligned” with the campaign’s standards. The exit comes just days after Platner’s campaign manager, Kevin Brown stepped down after less than a week on the job, and two weeks since the campaign’s political director, Genevieve McDonald, left. “I joined this campaign because I believed in...

The Trump Administration has made the decision to attack military installations inside Venezuela and the strikes could come at any moment, sources with knowledge of the situation told the Miami Herald, as the U.S. prepares to initiate the next stage of its campaign against the Soles drug cartel. The planned attacks, also reported by the Wall Street Journal, will seek to destroy military installations used by the drug-trafficking organization the U.S. says is headed by Venezuelan strongman Nicolás Maduro and run by top members of his regime. Sources told the Herald that the targets — which could be struck by...

[First-Person View drones.] Some are reportedly linked to cartels and have been recruited through private military companies.

President Donald Trump has officially thrown his weight behind RINO Lindsey Graham—whose record includes climate pandering, open-borders showmanship, and globe-trotting war-baiting—in the 2026 Senate race.“Happy Birthday to Senator Lindsey Graham!” Trump posted, along with a smiling golf-course photo of the two. “He is always there when I need him, and I hope everyone in the Great State of South Carolina will help Lindsey have a BIG WIN in his re-election bid next year.”But if the goal was to rally the MAGA faithful around the career politician, Trump may be in for a surprise.“Thank you, Mr. President! This means a great...

War-Pig Lindsey Graham is itching for another endless war.Appearing on Fox News Monday night, Graham called for direct U.S. military involvement alongside Israel and floated the idea of an outright regime change in Tehran.Apparently, diplomacy is just a speed bump for Graham on the highway to regime change. In his own words, Graham praised President Trump, saying the time has come for America to go “all in” to “help Israel eliminate the nuclear threat.” Translation? More bombs, more blood, more American involvement.But Graham didn’t stop at just military strikes. He’s now openly calling for regime change in Iran.War-Pig Lindsey Graham:...

Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) says Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) is using President Trump’s legislative agenda to “secretly explode” the Pentagon’s budget by adding $150 billion in military spending onto the national debt. “This bill is going to spend $300 billion in the first two years … $300 billion on military and border,” Paul, a critic of the House-passed version of the GOP mega bill, told Fox Business host Larry Kudlow in an interview on Wednesday. Paul said the spending cuts in the bill amount to $1.5 trillion over 10 years or about $150 billion per year. “In the first year...

Establishment Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) is giving is “more proof of who he is” with his recent visit to Ukraine, the senator’s GOP challenger, businessman Mark Lynch, said during an appearance on Breitbart News Saturday. Host and Breitbart News Washington Bureau Chief Matthew Boyle asked Lynch to respond to the fact that Graham recently traveled to Ukraine to meet with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. “I mean, yesterday we were talking about it. When did he become our Secretary of State?” Lynch asked. “You know, like you said, a week ago, Zelensky and Lindsey were left there by themselves. Putin and...

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) seems to be vulnerable in his home state of South Carolina’s Republican primary, a Lynch for Senate poll commissioned with Pulse Opinion Research found. The top lines of the survey spell bad news for Graham, as 57 percent of Republican primary voters in his state “would not vote for Lindsey Graham if the election were held today,” according to the press release. The poll found that likely voters in South Carolina are “dissatisfied with Lindsey Graham and are just as likely to vote for a more conservative, America First candidate.”

Christian evangelist Franklin Graham is urging Americans to pray for President Donald Trump ahead of the commander-in-chief’s trip to the Middle East. “Pray for President @realDonaldTrump as he travels to the Middle East for meetings,” Graham wrote on Monday morning. “There will be much pressure put on him relating to Israel, Gaza, and the Palestinians.” “Pray for God’s protection, and may God give him wisdom,” he added. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt previewed Trump’s four-day trip to the Middle East on Friday, telling reporters that Trump plans to “reemphasize his continued vision for a proud, prosperous, and successful Middle...

Everyone including me was apoplectic over President Trump’s full-throated endorsement of Lindsey Graham for his 2026 Senate race. What was POTUS thinking? Graham is a RINO, a war hawk. This man hates MAGA. Lindsey Graham said Trump-supporters embrace “demagoguery,” called MAGA “bats--- crazy,” said Trump’s foreign policy is “gibberish,” that Trump doesn’t have the “temperament or judgment” to be president. Then Graham lined up with the real January 6 insurgents (Democrats) and attacked MAGA as violent. He tried to implicate President Trump in the alleged “insurrection.” He said, “Those responsible for Capitol security, including our political leaders, must also be...
