Senate Budget Committee Chair Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) has unveiled a plan to override Homeland Security Committee Chair Rand Paul’s (R-Ky.) proposal to fund border security and immigration enforcement activities at roughly half the amount favored by Senate and House Republican leaders. Paul created an uproar two weeks ago when he unveiled his portion of the Trump agenda megabill that would spend $6.5 billion on completing President Trump’s border wall and $22.5 billion on expanding detention facilities for migrants. Now Graham has answered with a move of his own, unveiling a proposal to restore funding for the border wall and Immigration...

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) in a Sunday morning interview pushed back on claims that President Trump acted outside his Constitutional authority by ordering strikes on Iran. “No, he was within his Article II authority,” Graham said in an interview on NBC News’s “Meet the Press,” when asked if Trump violated the U.S. Constitution by “acting unilaterally.” “Congress can declare war or cut off funding,” Graham continued. “We can’t be the commander in chief. You can’t have 535 commander in chiefs.” “If you don’t like what the president does, in terms of war, you can cut off the funding. But declaring...

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:...

Freedom requires a price to be paid by every generation 1. While most of America remains blissfully uniformed by our establishment press, the world's two greatest superpowers are being manipulated by Dark Forces inside and outside our government, into a major military confrontation that no country wants, and no sane person would ever want. 2. I have no role in the Trump Administration, but over a long career in the active uniformed military, specifically military intelligence, I have made it a point to cultivate many sources of information around the world. From what I can piece together, I want to...

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) praised Ukraine’s weekend drone attack on Russia, calling its government and armed forces “ever-resourceful” while warning that Russian President Vladimir Putin is preparing for more war. “The ever-resourceful Ukraine used creative drone warfare tactics to successfully attack Russian bombers and military assets used to kill Ukrainian citizens and destroy their country,” Graham said on the social platform X on Sunday reacting to the Ukraine attack. Ukraine hit Russian bases across the vast country in the recent attack, including in the regions of Irkutsk and Amur, which are thousands of miles from the Russian-Ukraine border. The attack...

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.”

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) wrote a letter to the editors of The Wall Street Journal that was published on Tuesday in which he vowed that the U.S. Senate was ready to “grind” Vladimir Putin’s “war machine to a halt” if President Donald Trump is unable to broker a ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine soon. Graham, one of the most hawkish GOP senators, wrote his letter in response to a scathing Journal editorial titled, “Time for a GOP Senate Revolt on Sanctions Against Putin.” In the editorial, the Journal’s board argues for the GOP to advance Graham’s bill that would “hit...

While tariffs make wars more likely, embargoes make wars difficult to avoid. Senator Lindsey Graham’s Sanctioning Russia Act calls for 500% tariffs on dozens of countries and essentially amounts to an embargo.If this bill were to pass, it would cause an economic calamity on a scale never before seen in our country.In its insistence that Moscow be a permanent enemy of the United States, the foreign policy establishment is pushing to impose more punitive measures on Russia should they refuse to negotiate a peace deal with Ukraine. The Sanctioning Russia Act seeks to inflict a series of additional sanctions and...

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...

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) on Wednesday said “very sensitive information” was discussed during a Trump administration group chat on Signal that included a journalist, but the longtime ally of President Trump said he sees the snafu as a “lessons learned” episode. “Recent revelations about the content of the texts — while not discussing war plans per se — do in fact detail very sensitive information about a planned and ongoing military operation,” Graham said in a statement. “Lessons learned.” Jeffrey Goldberg, editor in chief of The Atlantic and former foreign affairs correspondent, reported Monday that he had been inadvertently included...

On this week’s edition of FNC’s “Fox News Sunday,” Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) criticized Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky for how he handled himself at the White House weeks earlier. However, the South Carolina Republican warned if the United States pulled the plug on Ukraine, the result would be “worse than Afghanistan.” Host Maria Bartiromo said, “So there’s a pause right now on Ukrainian aid and intelligence sharing. There are reports that that is hampering Ukraine’s ability to defend itself against this incoming new wave of attacks from Russia. Have you talked with the White House about that? How concerned are...

The U.S. cannot cut off aid to Ukraine while it fights against Russia, Republican Senator Lindsey Graham said on March 9. The U.S. froze intelligence sharing and military aid to Ukraine soon after a heated argument broke out between President Volodymyr Zelensky and U.S. President Donald Trump in the White House on Feb. 28. U.S. officials have suggested the pause is "temporary," without indicating when aid will resume. "If we pull the plug on Ukraine, it'd be worse than Afghanistan. I don't think (Trump) has any desire to do that," Graham said in a television interview on March 9. Until...

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) signaled Wednesday evening that he supports President Trump’s decision to open direct communication with Hamas on the release of hostages amid the militant group’s fragile ceasefire with Israel. “It looks like the administration’s directly negotiating with Hamas. Do you like that, or you don’t like that? How do you feel?” Fox News’s Jesse Watters asked Graham. The Republican senator responded that he doesn’t mind what the president does, “because I trust Trump.” He pointed to Trump’s recent post on Truth Social that called for the remaining hostages in Gaza to be released “immediately.” “Trump sent out...
