In Memoriam - The Most Interesting Revelation Released by Senator Lindsey Graham

NY Post: Lindsey Graham had among the lowest wealth in Congress despite a lifetime at the center of power trib.al/ZyutBzu

The Last Refuge  

"How does the office of a U.S. president; and more importantly the republic itself; survive a coordinated coup effort involving all three branches of government; while simultaneously those in charge of exposing the corruption fear the scale is too damaging for them to reveal?"

"Many people have specific citations for the impact of Senator Lindsey Graham. Several people have noted his importance in releasing information associated with the fraudulent “spygate’ and “Russiagate” operations. However, to me, the most interesting release from Senator Lindsey Graham was the release he could never again mention.

"Senator Graham released a highly compartmented letter [STILL ACTIVE LINK] that proved the depth of the fraud targeting President Trump. The letter formally outlined a complete governmental fraud using all three branches of government, and as a consequence it could never be discussed in public.

"In/around April 2020 (the letter is technically undated) the Senate Judiciary Committee (Graham and Feinstein) along with the Senate Intelligence Committee (Burr and Warner) received a copy of a letter previously transmitted secretly by the Mueller-led Dept of Justice to the FISA Court in July 2018.

"BACKGROUND: The Mueller led DOJ (Rosenstein compliant, Sessions recused) had previously sent a notification to the FISA Court, July 12, 2018, saying despite the Office of the IG investigation showing clear manipulation of Carter Page FISA application process, there was still “sufficient predication” to believe the FISA warrant was appropriate.

"The Mueller team were covering their ass, and racing against the clock while hiding information from the public. The letter clearly establishes in July 2018 the Mueller team were lying to the FISC.

"After the December 2019 OIG Horowitz report that exposed how the Mueller probe, DOJ and FBI having clearly manipulated information to continue using the FISA warrant, despite information showing the warrant was obtained using fraudulent information, the FISA Court demanded the DOJ, now under Bill Barr, inform the Legislative Branch (Judiciary Committee) of the July 12, 2018, lie told to them by the Mueller team.

"The DOJ had to comply and send the secret letter to the Senate Judiciary Committee. That’s how Graham received a copy of it in early 2020, which he then made public.

"Until that moment in 2020, no one knew the Mueller team was saying one thing to the FISA Court, and another thing entirely to the media and public." . . .  More...

A few hard truths for the gay cruise that’s not allowed to dock

"[President] Reagan was polite when he said, 'The trouble with our Liberal friends is not that they're ignorant; it's just that they know so much that isn't so.”

 Andrea Widburg

". . . Still, it’s statistically likely that the people on this cruise have absolutely no idea what Islam stands for, even as they enthusiastically support a political party that loves Islam, even as Islam wants them dead."

"The story is kind of funny—an LGBTQ+ filled cruise that is being turned away from ports in Muslim countries for being inconsistent with Islamic values. However, what’s a little less funny is that, statistically speaking, most of these passengers support the Democrat party and its love affair with Islam. Indeed, at least one passenger has let his followers know that the animus the ship is facing is all...wait for it...Trump’s fault.

"It all began with Patti LuPone’s outrage. LuPone is a true Broadway star, having originated the diva role of Eva Perón in the musical Evita, before Madonna came along. She’s also done turns in movies and TV shows. She’s a genuine talent, and she knows where a large part of her fan base comes from: Gay men.

"Naturally, then, LuPone was happy to make a guest appearance on a gay-themed cruise carrying over around 2,000 LGBTQ+ passengers across the Mediterranean. The cruise ran into a hitch, though, when it tried to dock in the Turkish port town of Kuşadası, the gateway to Ephesus. (I’ve been on a cruise ship to Ephesus, and I must say that this historical site, one of the best-preserved ancient cities in the entire Mediterranean, is spectacular.)

"It turns out that the Kuşadası port authorities thought it was a very bad idea to have 2,000 LGBTQ+ people descend on the local community:" . . .

. . . "As for the anti-Israel animus, while there is no polling information about how LGBTQ+ voters specifically view Israel and her enemies in the West Bank and Gaza, Democrats have repeatedly shown themselves to hate Israel and love Gaza. Can we say “Queers for Palestine”?

"This is ironic, of course, because Israel is one of the most homophilic countries in the world, while gays are thrown off of roofs in the West Bank and Gaza." . . .More...

What Americans Don’t Appreciate About Iran

"When Iranians view nuclear power, they view it not through a “mutually assured destruction” filter, but as the fulfillment of prophecy."

Allan J. Feifer   

"Energy markets do not stop at borders. Neither do shipping lanes, alliance commitments, or the ripple effects of regional conflict. When those systems are disrupted, the consequences are not regional—they are immediate and far-reaching, requiring new strategic thinking, including the possibility of early intervention."

"Iran is about 7,300 miles away from where I live in Florida. To many Americans, that distance makes the Middle East irrelevant, appearing in their lives only as something associated with higher gas prices, periodic wars, and political arguments that seem disconnected from daily reality. So they ask a reasonable question: why are we involved at all?

"It’s a simple question, but the wrong answer is uniquely dangerous.

"America, more than any modern nation, functions as its own ecosystem. The belief that distance insulates it—and that security can be reduced to guarding its borders—is widespread, but fundamentally wrong. With dominance in technology, energy, finance, and culture, it is tempting to believe we can wall ourselves off from global instability. That belief only works if instability stays contained, but that’s not how instability works.

"Americans tend to reduce the Middle East to two variables: oil and Israel. Energy independence is cited as proof that the region no longer matters. Israel is increasingly treated as either a moral cause or a political liability, depending on perspective. But both frameworks miss the deeper structure underneath the region’s instability.

"That structure starts with Iran.

"Iran is not simply another regional actor. It is the primary organizing force behind much of the region’s persistent instability. Remove Iran and its network of aligned actors, and the Middle East does not become peaceful—but it does lose its coordinated, multi-theater pattern of sustained proxy warfare. Instead of an arc of linked conflicts spanning multiple regions, most violence would likely revert to more localized, fragmented disputes.

"This pattern is visible across multiple theaters, from Hezbollah’s sustained military infrastructure in Lebanon to Houthi disruption of maritime traffic in the Red Sea, where commercial shipping routes tied to global energy flows have repeatedly come under pressure.

"That matters because Iran is not operating as a conventional state acting only through narrow national interest. It is a system shaped by an espoused belief that combines ideological mission with strategic calculation.

"Iran is not a conventional nation-state. It is the product of a revolution that defines itself as unfinished." . . .   More...

Socialism is Always a Move Towards Communism -- with the Same Results

Communism and socialism have terrible records. To understand what Mamdani calls "The warmth of collectivism" study the Holodomor.

Mark Landsbaum - American Thinker  

"[British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher] no doubt agreed with Williams when he wrote, “I keep what I earn and you keep what you earn. Do you disagree? Well then tell me how much of what I earn belongs to you -- and why?”

"Tragically, we face today burgeoning support for socialism, largely because the U.S. socialist-inspired public schools have intentionally avoided teaching the system’s evil ways and disastrous results everywhere on earth it’s ever been attempted. As red flags go, they don’t come much bigger. Or redder.

"I have a long-time family friend, who should know better. He’s a lifelong business journalist who even for a while wrote for the conservative Wall Street Journal. Nevertheless, my buddy insists “socialism” is quite different from communism, and that in fact many socialist countries, such as in Scandinavia, are quite happy with the “benefits” of socialism.

"He may be right that many people are happy in Sweden, whose major political party is the Swedish Social Democratic Party. But the happy faces in Sweden and its Scandinavian neighbors can be explained by the fact that many people find pleasure in receiving benefits paid for by other people. As U.K. Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher so coyly noted in 1976 before she became prime minister, “The problem with socialism is that eventually they run out of other people’s money.”

"The difference between those happy-faced socialists and actual communists is just a matter of degree. As those benefitting from seizing other people’s wealth and income taste the fruits of their government-enabled theft, their appetite only grows for more. When was the last time you heard a socialist demanding less of other people’s money?

"As Karl Marx, the unemployed German who came up with the idea of communism, spelled out in detail in his Das Kapital, Communist Manifesto, and other writings, socialism is not a goal. It is an essential step toward the goal.

"That means even those enjoying short-term benefits by living off the sweat of others, in fact are nudging their nations closer and closer to the communist goal, whether they realize it or not. Today’s socialist is tomorrow’s communist; that’s the plan. Don’t think otherwise."... More...

Religious Liberty Means More Than Mere Toleration

 The American Spectator  

"The Supreme Court should make clear that the First Amendment means what it meant in 1791: that Americans possess an inalienable right to live out their faith that no city zoning code can extinguish. Home worship, Bible study, prayer groups, and Sabbath minyan, should not require a permit."

"In 1790, the Hebrew Congregation of Newport, Rhode Island wrote to President George Washington with words that carried the weight of centuries of persecution: “Deprived as we heretofore have been of the invaluable rights of citizens, we now behold a government which gives to bigotry no sanction, to persecution no assistance.”

"Washington’s letter to the Hebrew Congregation is one of the most remarkable documents in American history, not for its eloquence alone, but for what it rejected. The new republic, Washington insisted, would not merely tolerate its religious minorities. It would guarantee their rights. Every American, he promised, “shall sit in safety under his own Vine and Figtree, and there shall be none to make him afraid.

"Two hundred and thirty-six years later, the town of University Heights, Ohio, failed to live up to that promise for one of its Jewish residents. Daniel Grand is an Orthodox Jew. His faith requires him to pray three times a day, preferably with a minyan, a quorum of at least 10 men. On the Sabbath and High Holidays, when driving is forbidden, that means gathering on foot within walking distance of home. In January 2021, Grand sent an email to about a dozen neighbors, inviting them to pray together at his house. One neighbor informed the mayor.

"The next day the city’s law director sent Grand a cease-and-desist order. The letter warned Grand that if he held his planned prayer meeting at his home, his residence would be transformed into “place of religious assembly,” prohibited by the town’s zoning laws. If he wanted to pray with friends, he would need to apply for a special-use permit.

"What followed was a systematic campaign of civic harassment. When Grand applied for the permit, the hearing was converted to a “quasi-judicial” format that locked the record and prevented him from submitting supporting evidence. Neighbors sent letters of protest, including one that read, “I do not want our neighborhood labeled as Jewish.” When Grand withdrew his application, the mayor doubled down, publicly declaring that the cease-and-desist remained in full force and urging neighbors to report any signs of religious gathering at Grand’s home to city authorities. Police began conducting drive-bys, and the city withheld Grand’s certificate of occupancy and tax abatements, costing him thousands of dollars. Sanitation workers stopped collecting his trash." . . .  More...

Remembering Lindsey Graham’s Pivotal Role in the Kavanaugh Confirmation Hearings

 Legal Insurrection

“I would never do to them what you’ve done to this guy. This is the most unethical sham since I’ve been in politics. And if you really wanted to know the truth, you sure as hell wouldn’t have done what you’ve done to this guy.” 

"As these things often go, the aftermath of a political figure’s passing brings along with it varying opinions about the person, debates over their legacy, and speculation as to who will take their place if they still happen to be holding office.

"That has certainly been the case since news broke early Sunday morning that Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC), whose first Senate term began in January 2003, had passed away Saturday night “from a brief and sudden illness.”

"Graham, who had just gotten back from a Friday meeting in Ukraine with its president, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, was 71.

"One of the things Republicans and Democrats alike will most remember Graham for was his powerful defense of then-Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh, and his blistering criticisms of Senate Judiciary Committee Democrats, during the highly contentious confirmation hearings for Kavanaugh in the fall of 2018.

"Total war was declared on Kavanaugh, as Democrats were growing increasingly terrified that more conservative justices to the court would result in the overturning of Roe v. Wade. Relatedly, two senators on the committee, Kamala Harris (D-CA) and Cory Booker (D-NJ), were preparing to run for president and used the hearings to stage stunts and elevate their national profiles.

"There were also the behind-the-scenes machinations of then-Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA), which ultimately set the stage for the fiery speech Graham would later give during the hearings:

Senator Dianne Feinstein knew that a woman had sent a letter claiming the Kavanaugh assaulted her in high school, but Feinstein said nothing. Not during the hearings, not during her consultations with fellow Senators, not during her private interview with Kavanaugh.

Instead, after the confirmation hearings were closed and a committee vote ready, it was 

conveniently leaked to The Intercept and Buzzfeed that the letter existed, and that Feinstein had forwarded it to the FBI. Days later the accuser was revealed in a Washington Post interview and story to be Christine Blasey Ford." . . . More...

Minimum-Wage Bill Shows Yet Again That Congress Is A Refuge For Know-Nothings

"We'll put Democrats in power again if it takes every dime you've got!"

Issues & Insights  

"In addition to killing jobs, minimum-wage hikes also increase prices, as employers pass on to consumers as much of their additional labor costs as is possible." 

"Democrats have many problems, not the least of which is an inability to understand, and for some the refusal to accept, basic economics. If they did, there wouldn’t be proposals to raise the federal minimum wage to a preposterous $25 an hour.

"House Resolution 8555 would “place the federal minimum wage on a durable path toward a living wage,” requiring “large, highly profitable corporations to lead the transition.” Under its yoke, large employers would have to raise their lowest wage from the current $7.25 an hour to $15 an hour on Jan. 1, 2027, a more-than-double spike that would shock the market.

"Large companies, defined as those with annual gross revenues in excess of $1 billion (there are more than 6,000 of them) or with 500 or more employees nationwide, will have to ramp up their minimum wage every Jan. 1 thereafter until the minimum hits $25 an hour on Jan. 1, 2031. Smaller companies will have to boost their hourly minimum to $14 next New Year’s Day and will have to meet the $25-an-hour standard by 2038.

“'We can afford it,” declares Connecticut Democratic Sen. Chris Murphy, who late last month introduced a similar bill in the Senate. “It’s not like we can’t pay a $25 minimum wage, we just choose not to because we’ve become okay with dozens and dozens of people in this country making hundreds of billions of dollars.”

"Who is “we,” Senator? Which company do you own? Which business did you start that will fall under the government’s wage boot? When was the last time you had to meet a company payroll? Anyone who would say “we” in this context is definitionally low-minded.

"Minimum-wage hikes are a combination of economic tyranny (there is no moral authority for lawmakers to tell private businesses how much they have to pay their workers, so they simply delegated the power to themselves) and economic lunacy.

"Raising the cost of anything, including labor, will lower demand, and in the case of a government-mandated minimum wage, that would be the demand for workers in the private sector." . . .

France Explains They Can't Help Open Strait of Hormuz as They Already Sent All 15 Of Their Soldiers to Defend Greenland (Parody)

 In my opinion, having surrendered to Germany in just over six weeks, the Vichy Nazi puppet ally began rounding up French Jews to send to Nazi death camps has left a stain on France that will not fade.  One fears being a gloat today as the American Left (Democrats) will happily turn this nation into Vichy America. TD

Babylon Bee   "PARIS — French President Emmanuel Macron explained today that the French Army simply could not help open the Strait of Hormuz as all fifteen of its soldiers have already been deployed to defend Greenland.

"Though expressing their sincere desire to help, Macron stated that France simply did not have the military resources to help open the Strait while maintaining its protection of Greenland.

"'All of France's military might, specifically the one unit we have with fifteen soldiers, is already deployed," said Macron. "They cannot be relocated as they are bravely defending the shores of Greenland. Specifically, the one shore that's about fifty yards wide, the one next to 'Uncle Yert's Fish And Crabs.' You know the place. Anyhow, really wish we could help."

"Macron did offer President Trump his apologies, stating that France genuinely wished they had the resources. "If only we had more soldiers. We did have a sixteenth soldier, but he suffered a devastating baguette injury and will be out of commission for several months," said Macron. "Thus, France cannot contribute to this just cause. Je suis désolé, mon amour!"

"At publishing time, the French army had been reduced to fourteen soldiers after a horrifying escargot accident."

For you gearheads: What Stunned German Tankers Inside Captured American Shermans.

 Biên Tập Viên News

"On the morning of April 14th, 1943, a German engineer named Wanner stood at the edge of a concrete apron at Kummersdorf Proving Ground, 20 mi south of Berlin, staring at something that should not have existed. It was an American tank, an M4A1 Sherman, serial number USA 3067641. Cast hull, 75-mm gun, olive drab paint still showing the desert dust of North Africa.

"Someone had chalked armor thickness measurements on every surface, front, sides, turret, mantlet, each number followed by the angle of the plate. The Germans had been thorough. They always were. But, the numbers were not what stopped him. He climbed up onto the hull. The metal was cold under his palms. He lowered himself through the commander’s hatch, feet finding the turret basket floor.

"And for a moment, he just stood there in the fighting compartment, looking around. And that is when something changed. Not in the tank, in him. What this engineer saw inside that turret, what he touched, what he tested, what he wrote in his report, would quietly unravel everything the German armored corps believed about the enemy they were fighting.

"Not about American courage, not about American numbers, about something far more dangerous than either. This is that story. If the story of what Americans built and what it took to win matters to you, hit subscribe and the like button. It helps this channel reach the people who care. The Sherman sitting on the concrete at Kummersdorf had a name." . . .

*Captured Shermans | The Sherman Tank Site;     Germans Mocked the Sherman as a "Tommy Cooker" — Until Lafayette Pool Destroyed 12;     When 5 German Panthers Attacked — This Sherman Gunner’s 5 Shots Destroyed Them All

Tom Gayler at Millionaire Yachting has problems with information in the above:

Tom Gayler

Millionaire Yachting There are numerous historical problems here, ranging from outright errors to invented details.

1. The date at Kummersdorf is wrong or at least unsupported.

The post claims 14 April 1943 and gives a precise serial number, but there is no well-documented evidence that an M4A1 with that serial was being examined at Kummersdorf on that specific day. German testing of captured Shermans certainly occurred in 1943, but the exact date and circumstances appear to be invented.

2. The engineer "Wanner".

I am not aware of any documented German engineer at Kummersdorf named Wanner who wrote a famous report about a Sherman changing his view of Allied tank design. This reads like historical fiction.

3. "War Daddy the Second".

This is almost certainly fabricated.

"War Daddy" is famous because of the 2014 film Fury, whose Sherman carried that name.

There is no evidence that a Sherman of the 1st Armored Division in Tunisia was named "War Daddy the Second." It looks like the author borrowed a famous fictional name to make the story more engaging.

4. Unit designation.

It should be 3rd Battalion, 1st Armored Regiment, 1st Armored Division, not "Third Battalion, First Armored Regiment, First Armored Division of United States Army." That's not how the U.S. Army designated units.

5. Sidi Bou Zid date is wrong. This is the biggest factual error.

The Battle of Sidi Bou Zid began on 14 February 1943, but:

The German attack began before dawn on 14 February.

The major American armoured counterattacks involving Shermans occurred 15 February, not the morning of the 14th.

The post compresses several days into one.

6. "51 Shermans rolled out by midday." I have never seen a primary source supporting exactly 51 Shermans in that counterattack. It looks like a made-up precision figure.

7. "Most had never heard a tank gun fired in anger." This is dramatic rather than historical. Many soldiers had never been in combat, but that's true of almost every army entering battle for the first time.

8. "Quietly unravel everything the German armored corps believed." This is pure clickbait. German reports on the Sherman were generally favourable regarding:

reliability,

crew ergonomics,

visibility,

radio equipment.

But they did not conclude that it revolutionised their understanding of tank warfare." . . .

Porn Will Keep Destroying Lives Until We Honor Those Who Fight It

"The sexual revolution’s final victory is the inversion of honor and shaming anyone who fights obscenity."

The Federalist

" . . .it shapes appetites in destructive ways, desensitizing users and escalating their emotions, mental patterns, and actions toward greater extremes."

"The final victory of pornography in the United States lies not in the ubiquity of hardcore porn on every phone but rather the extent to which society tolerates it. We have laws against obscenity on the books in every state and at the federal level. But prosecutors everywhere find excuses not to bring obscenity charges.

"They cite First Amendment concerns. They worry about shifting community standards. They plead limited resources. It’s always someone else’s job to enforce the laws — feds wait for the states, states wait for the counties, counties for the cops.

"These excuses show that there is no longer honor in fighting porn, nor is there societal shame for producing pornography. This reallocation of honor and shame marks the sexual revolution’s deepest success.

"Our new Heritage Foundation Backgrounder, “Is General Obscenity Still Illegal? A Postmortem on the Bush Obscenity Prosecution Task Force,” reveals this cultural shift by investigating the last serious federal effort to prosecute pornographers. Launched in 2005, the Obscenity Prosecution Task Force (OPTF) under Director Brent Ward achieved convictions in every case it tried.

"Yet, as we show, the OPTF effort was doomed from the start. Ward’s 2007 resignation memorandum to Attorney General Michael Mukasey, published for the first time with the Backgrounder, reveals an operation “calibrated so as to render obscenity enforcement only minimally effective.”

"Organizational flaws abounded: chronic under-resourcing, FBI content guidelines that created a safe harbor for most pornography, too few investigators, a strange geographic separation between investigators and prosecutors, and a Task Force that depended on voluntary participation from U.S. Attorneys who often declined cases or dragged their feet." . . .

Porn exists in admissible forms even on the beaches and sports events.

Lindsey Graham’s Finest Moment; Democrats at their most contemptible

"If you remember, Justice Alito’s wife ran out of her husband’s confirmation hearing in tears over what Democrat senators were doing, not even the rabble-rousers in the crowd. You know, I looked at the Republicans on the committee, too, and they weren’t doing anything to stop it because they obviously have calculated that it’s beneficial for people watching to see, “Well, this is who the Democrats are.

Mick Jagger takes a swipe at Bruce Springsteen over anti-Trump rants at gigs

Bruce: The Rosie O'Donnell of rock. Included below is my favorite Springsteen post and will be used as long as Bruce and I live. TD

James Gordon For Dailymail  

"The comments come after Springsteen turned many of his concerts this year into platforms for outspoken criticism of Trump."

"Mick Jagger took aim at Bruce Springsteen's increasingly political concerts warning that fans don't want to be lectured from the stage.

The Rolling Stones front man made the comments during an interview on The New York Times' podcast with David Marchese, where Jagger laid out his philosophy for entertaining stadium crowds. 

He appeared to distance himself after Marchese brought up avowed Donald Trump critic Springsteen who has repeatedly used his concerts this year to launch blistering attacks on the president and his administration.

Asked how he views his relationship with audiences compared with artists such as Bob Dylan and Springsteen, Jagger said his priority has always been making sure concertgoers leave feeling uplifted rather than weighed down by politics.

'The bottom line of my thing really is that my job in the live music world is those people that come is to have the best time they possibly can,' Jagger said.

'For two hours or whatever it is, to forget all their problems and the problems of the world and their mortgages and whatever, just to give them the best time they can have.'

The 82-year-old rock icon compared attending a concert to watching a major sporting event, arguing that audiences should be able to switch off from the anxieties of daily life while the show is happening.

'You don't want to lecture them,' he said. " . . . More...
