The Best Thing Trump Can Do For The Iran
War Effort Is Shutting Up Lindsey Graham
Posted By: Citoyen, 3/11/2026 4:31:14 PM
The Trump administration’s messaging on America’s military involvement in Iran has been, to put it lightly, a mess. And it’s clear after listening to his remarks about the conflict that Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., is not helping the situation. Since the U.S.-Israeli-led operation against Tehran began, Graham has rushed to every microphone and television camera available to express his unbridled enthusiasm about the campaign. When he isn’t bragging about how much money the U.S. is going to make as a result of the conflict, he’s calling for more American intervention in countries like Cuba and Lebanon.

Time to dust off the "Mission Accomplished" banner?
~A Thought for the Day from David Blair in our comments section:
It's time to move past your reticence to have initiated the war and get behind Trump. Your fear that it might end badly is noted.
"Get behind Trump"? That might be better directed at Vance, Gabbard, Kennedy and other cabinet members whose discomfort with the strange turn of events is palpable either through their sudden absence from public life or when they're testifying to Congress and trying to walk the fine line between not getting fired now and not getting impeached by the incoming Democrat majority in January.

~This news is too sad. From Old Dominion University in Virginia: The victim of the terrorist attack at Old Dominion has been identified as Lt. Col. Brandon Shah-- who was a Professor of Military Science and the leader of the university's ROTC program. So Colonel Shah survived the century's worthless unwon wars including "America's longest war" - Operation Enduring Freedom (how'd that endure, by the way?) - only to come home and die at the hands of one of his "fellow Americans" screaming - go on, take a wild guess; yeah, bingo! - "Allahu Akbar!"

They're just messing with us now. From the Epstein files: STATEMENT OF MANHATTAN U.S. ATTORNEY ON THE DEATH OF DEFENDANT JEFFREY EPSTEIN Manhattan U.S. Attorney Geoffrey S. Berman said: "Earlier this morning, the Manhattan Correctional Center confirmed that Jeffrey Epstein, who faced charges brought by this Office of engaging in the sex trafficking of minors, had been found unresponsive in his cell and pronounced dead shortly thereafter. Today's events are disturbing..." I'll say. For one thing, the statement is dated Friday August 9th 2019, and Mr Epstein was not "found unresponsive in his cell" until Saturday August 10th.
Super Bowl LX is almost here, and the NFL is making fandom a whole lot kinder. In an exclusive shared with The Hollywood Reporter, NFL executives announced that YouTube sensation Dhar Mann, 41, has been named the league’s first-ever Chief Kindness Officer. Mann also serves as the league’s “Creator of the Week” leading up to the big game. (snip) As part of the lead-up to Super Bowl LX, Dhar Mann has been tapped to partner with the NFL to help deliver the league’s “Be Nice to Your Rival” campaign.
Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich (R-Ga.) on Wednesday said the country needs a national conversation about immigrants lacking permanent legal status who “obey the law,” as public opinion sours on the Trump administration’s deportation sweeps. (snip) “On the other hand, people do not want to give them citizenship. So there should be some middle ground here on long-term goals,” he added.
Gingrich’s comments coincide with Fox News host Sean Hannity speaking out against workplace raids during immigration enforcement crackdowns nationwide.
President Donald Trump's push to seize Greenland might be the least popular idea in American political history.
Is that hyperbole? If so, that's only because reliable and fast public polling is a relatively recent development within our 250-year experiment in self-governance.
A Reuters/Ipsos poll released Wednesday found a staggering 4 percent of Americans favor the idea of seizing Greenland with military force. Among Republicans, the idea is actually twice as popular: 8 percent say taking the island is a "good idea."

The unravelling of the world continues:
~Er, so Arab nations no longer want their children studying at Oxford and Cambridge because England's too full of crazy Muslims...
(snip)What's playing out on the streets of American cities can't be encompassed by even the broadest definition of politics. As I wearily repeat, we have made a society of men that women don't want, and women that any prudent man would wish to keep at a safe distance. The only "strong, physically confident, masculine men" among the Resistance are the psychotrannies.

~How was your Thanksgiving? On a day to give thanks for all the blessings of America, it fell to Gary Beckstrom to announce to the world the death of his twenty-year-old daughter, Sarah. That will taint Thanksgiving every year for the rest of Mr Beckstrom's life - in part because his child's blood is on the hands not just of her killer but of the public policy that enabled the murderer to be on the streets of what passes for the national capital.
“We have to do something about labor, and that needs to be a smarter plan than just rounding up every single person and deporting them,” the Georgia congresswoman said.
President Donald Trump's trade and immigration agenda is deeply unpopular with the general public. Now, even some of Trump's most loyal allies are voicing their frustrations with the president's policies.
During a recent appearance on comedian Tim Dillon's podcast, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R–Ga.) criticized the Trump administration's hardline stance on immigration, warning that its crackdowns create more chaos than security.
Singer Azealia Banks has pulled out of two events in the UK, charging that the organisers relentlessly pressured her to express support for Palestine while promoting her scheduled appearance.
Banks wrote on X, “So guys, I am cancelling Boomtown and Maiden Voyage, the promoters have been stressing me out for weeks trying to force me to say free Palestine and threatening to cut me from the bill because I won’t say free Palestine.”

~Last week, à propos America's presently presidentless republic, I remarked:
Meanwhile, the Ukrainians say Moscow is 'threatening the world with nuclear catastrophe'. Given that an American client state has spent the last month bombing Russia daily, it would be unusual if they were not. But that's no reason to divert the dead husk from another week at his beach house in Delaware.
To which Roy Koczela responds: Steyn goes full-on Putinist, literally more submissive to the Kremlin than the Kremlin itself.

Will Fariah Brewer be disciplined? Will she be thrown out of the military?
Wearing a hijab, Brewer on Monday recorded a video that quickly went viral. In it, she happily admits that if she is commanded, as a member of the U.S. military, to fight other Muslims, she would disobey the orders. She makes this clear in the context of a discussion of the conflict with the Islamic Republic of Iran.
Will the Army take action? Or would doing anything to call Brewer to account be “Islamophobic”? [Tweet, video]
It’s axiomatic: a soldier in the U.S. military should be loyal to the United States.
Woke lawmaker Pramila Jayapal called for illegal immigrants to receive reparations to make up for the 'trauma' of being targeted by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
The progressive Washington Democrat blasted ICE activity in the latest of her 'shadow hearings' about immigration reform on Friday, which she titled 'Kidnapped and Disappeared.'
Jayapal called for 'offensive action' against ICE activities, saying she hoped for 'prosecutions and real accountability' against immigration agents. At the end of the day, the people that have been inflicting this harm need to be prosecuted,' she fumed.
'They need to be brought before us and they need to be held to account for the 'trauma' that they
MARTIN COUNTY, Fla. — Golfing legend Tiger Woods was involved in a rollover crash on Jupiter Island just after 2 p.m. Friday, deputies said.
The Martin County Sheriff's Office said the crash occurred near 281 Beach Road.
A picture taken by WPTV at the scene showed a Range Rover on its side.
The agency said they are currently investigating and will provide additional details as they become available. Sheriff John Budensiek was expected to speak at 5 p.m. at the Jupiter Island Town Hall.
It's unclear if Woods was injured in the wreck.

NASA’s chief on Tuesday said the US space agency will invest $20 billion to develop a base on the Moon, while suspending its plans to create the lunar orbital space station known as Gateway. The agency intends to pause Gateway in its current form and shift focus to infrastructure that enables sustained surface operations,” Jared Isaacman said in a statement given during a day-long event at NASA headquarters in Washington. Despite challenges with some existing hardware, the agency will repurpose applicable equipment and leverage international partner commitments to support these objectives,” he said.
The European Space Agency among other international organizations were partners on the planned Gateway project.
The Mexican Navy announced on Thursday that it has begun a search-and-rescue mission in the Caribbean Sea for two sailboats carrying "humanitarian aid" to Cuba.
Reuters describes the vessels as "sailboats" and says they left Isla Mujeres, in the Mexican Caribbean state of Quintana Roo, last week. They did not arrive in Havana as scheduled on Tuesday or Wednesday. The journey is about 300 to 350 miles, depending on the route. Combined, the two boats had nine people on board, including eight adults and a four-year-old child. Reuters also reports that they were a part of the "Nuestra America Convoy."
Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, who has largely been disgraced following major Medicare fraud uncovered in his state, is still trying to stay relevant as he blasted the president’s decision to deploy Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents to assist TSA at airports.
He went even further, spreading additional fear by speculating that the administration could deploy ICE agents to polling places during the 2026 midterm elections. [Tweet, video]
This is not normal. These guys aren't doing a damn thing," Walz said. "They weren't qualified to be here in Minnesota.
March 20, 2026, marked a turning point in the 2026 Iran war, when Iran launched two intermediate-range ballistic missiles at the joint U.K.–U.S. military base on Diego Garcia, a remote island in the Indian Ocean. Although both missiles failed to reach their target—one malfunctioned in flight, while the other was successfully intercepted—the attack sent shockwaves through Western Europe.
This missile proved that the late Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei had lied for years about the true range of Iran’s missile arsenal. Khamenei claimed Iran’s missiles could not threaten beyond the Middle East and their range had been limited to 2,000 kilometers.
After two months of unyielding negotiations, both parties gave up early Friday on reaching a grand accord to reform and fund the Department of Homeland Security.
Instead, Senate Republicans accepted what Democrats have been offering for weeks — cash for all of DHS except for ICE and part of Customs and Border Protection. The Senate approved the funding package by a voice vote and is now expected to begin a scheduled two-week recess. The House could vote as soon as Friday, before the shutdown would break the record Saturday night for the longest funding lapse of any federal agency in U.S. history.
Senate Majority Leader John Thune called the outcome “unfortunate” Friday.
A Secret Service agent shot and wounded himself in the leg while guarding former first lady Jill Biden at Philadelphia International Airport on Friday, according to the agency and a report.
The on-duty agent’s gun went off around 8:30 a.m. while helping escort former President Joe Biden’s wife at the busy travel hub, sources told KYW.
The agent suffered a non-life-threatening injury following the “negligent discharge” that took place while he was handling his service weapon, said Secret Service spokesperson Nate Herring. “There was no impact to the protectee’s movement and they were not present at the time of the incident,” Herring said.
Military veterans are sounding off about a Democratic congressional candidate who they say inflated his Navy record and used a deceased Korean War vet’s gravesite as a campaign prop.
Ammar Campa-Najjar — a candidate for an east San Diego congressional seat and boyfriend of billionaire Qualcomm heiress Rep. Sara Jacobs — is under fire for fudging details of his service to boost his campaign.
“I supported Ammar in the past, but won’t again,” Elizabeth Perez-Rodriguez, a former CalVet deputy secretary, Vista entrepreneur and Navy combat veteran, said in a statement.
Sir Keir Starmer is expected to offer Sir Sadiq Khan a peerage after the local elections in an attempt to bring one of his most prominent critics on side. The Telegraph has more.
Sir Sadiq, who was handed a knighthood last year, has been a vocal critic of Sir Keir’s leadership, recently accusing him of taking “liberal, progressive voters” for granted in a shift to the Right.
He also backed Andy Burnham, the Mayor of Greater Manchester, after he called for a change in the Prime Minister’s approach last year.

A Canadian woman has spoken out about being held with her seven-year-old autistic daughter in ICE custody for the past 13 days. Tania Warner said in an interview with CTV News that she is the most stressed she's ever been in her life. Her daughter, Ayla, has also been complaining about a rash that has spread to much of the lower half of her body. Warner believes the rash was caused by stress and the commercial cleaners used to wash the ICE-issued clothing. After pushing multiple times, Warner was given hydrocortisone cream.

Shawn Hannity hosted Lindsay Graham Monday and Tuesday. Maria Bartiromo had him on her Sunday Fox show. Each of his unhinged appearances are proof that President Trump needs to muzzle this lunatic. Yesterday Graham pledged American support "in perpetuity" to defend Saudi Arabia. He then said America would be with Israel "till our dying day." Finally America should "move all our stuff to Israel."
