Clyburn: I Don't See A Lot Of Diversity On El-Sayed's Side Of The Fence!

The endorsements are not working. Jim Clyburn's endorsement of Haley Stevens shows how out of touch the Democrats are.

Folks, Americans are not monolithic voters. When the paychecks are not matching the American economy, all lawmakers are targets of frustration. 

We don't care about the politics. We care about the policies.

It is not about Black and white. It is about survival. Under two presidents, we have seen the U.S. economy take a nosedive. Their support of the apartheid genocidal ethnostate has not made the country great. With billions going to fund Israel and we can't fix the damn potholes on our roads, Americans had enough. 

We have major flooding in Philadelphia, Cincinnati and Houston, yet the current president claims that the war is beneficial to the American people.

The Democratic Party claims they have the momentum going in. After the Graham Platner incident, I believe the blunted all their chances to retake the Senate. 

Now  an establishment candidate in a crucial race is throwing everything but the issues at the rival. The candidate openly supports that country and recently voted to give billions to fund its military.

This shit is coming to end.

Rep. Jim Clyburn (D-SC) endorsed Rep. Haley Stevens (D-MI) in a last ditch attempt to stop the momentum of rising progressive rival, Dr. Abdul El-Sayed in this bitter Democratic primary.

Clyburn, 86 put his full support on Stevens, 43. 

El-Sayed, 41 dismissed the endorsement and stated clearly that no matter how many endorsements, the voters will decide on whether he or Stevens is capable of taking on former lawmaker Mike Rogers.

It's almost over.

Stevens has used tactics almost as bad as a Republican. She used articles from the Washington Examiner or Washington Free Beacon to go after El-Sayed's finances.

Sen. John Fetterman (I-PA) appeared on Fox to directly call El-Sayed "pro-Hamas" and compared him to former Maine candidate Graham Platner.

Sen. Elissa Slotkin (D-MI), Sen. Gary Peters (D-MI) and Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) have stepped up on fundraising for Stevens after a series of missteps.

The reasons for all of this is because the vote cannot be split. Since Michigan state senator Mallory McMorrow dropped out, the Democratic establishment is trying to put the thumb on the scale (sort of speak).

Clyburn on his part is trying to use troupes and racial identity politics to undermine the grassroots efforts El-Sayed put forth in his campaign.

"I saw a picture that concerned me [from] the rally. I didn’t see a single person that looks like me. That tells me all I need to know."

Clyburn is a stuanch supporter of Israel. His biggest problems is that he won't retire. 

He is grooming his daughter to run for him if he does retire. He has actively squashed any attempt at getting grassroots movements the candidate they want.

While I did back Rep. Shontel Brown (D-OH) over Nina Turner, Brown's support of Israel has now made me question whether she is focused on Ohio issues like Cleveland, one of the poorest cities in the damn state. Before 2023, I was opposed to Israel but at the time, supportive of Democrats who stood with then president Joe Biden. Before Biden took his focus off the economy to help Ukraine and Israel, all was good. However, the former president and his damn Catholic faith led us to Israel getting a blank check to do whatever the fuck it wants. When progressive told the president that his support for Israel will doom him (and eventually former vice president Kamala Harris), folks like Clyburn dismissed it as radical noise. 

America, we have to change course.

Well it made Michigan swing back to Donald J. Trump. The economic issues didn't get better under Biden. They are not certainly better under Trump.

Slotkin barely won against Rogers. She won with less than 1% of the vote. Many voters already disapproved of her job as a senator. She criticized Hasan Piker for being extreme while appearing at town hall. The next day she goes on Real Time with Bill Maher. Maher, a known bigot who is Islamophobic and said racial slurs about Black people. He identifies as a libertarian but leaning more conservative since the Israel thing.

El-Sayed wants to discuss economics, the massive influx of money into this primary forces Israel back into the spotlight. Pro-Israel groups like the AIPAC-aligned United Democracy Project have poured nearly $30 million into boosting his opponent, Rep. Haley Stevens, turning campaign finance itself into a proxy war over Israel.

Detractors quickly accused Clyburn and the party establishment of weaponizing identity politics against a fellow Democrat in a highly diverse city like Detroit.

Now Mali!

Ben Jennings accurately paints Trump as he is.

President Donald J. Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu prove to the world an amazing feat. For the first time in world history, white men are no longer looked upon as leaders globally. The world sees that as relics of war, genocide, corruption and destruction of resources.

The world hates Israel. The United States and Russia are by far the worst countries in the world. The world is tired of these entities creating chaos.

The Trump administration is weighing whether to take military action in Mali, current and former U.S. officials familiar told The Washington Post.

The administration’s plan is to target an al-Qaida-affiliated group known as Jama'at Nusrat al-Islam wal-Muslimin. If it’s approved, it will be the eighth nation on the list of countries where President Donald Trump has ordered strikes since the start of his second term.

Since the beginning of July, JNIM and another rival separatist group have been fighting the Malian army to gain control over the northern part of the country and create an independent nation in that region.

Jama'at Nusrat al-Islam wal-Muslimin. Realizing that fighting for natural resources and survival are the reasons why these groups exist.

An administration official who did not disclose whether President Donald Trump would move forward with strikes said that terrorism in the Sahel is a “multinational problem.”

“We urge regional partners and NATO allies to support the Alliance of Sahel States in their war against JNIM and ISIS,” the official said.

Convoy ambushed

In the most recent fighting, the JNIM ambushed a Mali military convoy, reportedly killing or capturing at least 50 soldiers. The JNIM also released video appearing to show soldiers surrendering. Some of those reportedly killed or captured are Russian fighters allied with Mali’s military.

The Russian fighters are part of Russia’s Africa Corps, which replaced the Wagner Group in offering support to Mali’s military.

Mali says its military responded to the ambush with airstrikes that killed 20 fighters.

The ambush happened in the northern part of Mali, between the cities of Gao and Anefis, which the JNIM has been fighting to take.

Violence could topple government

The ongoing fighting could topple the government of Mali, which is led by its military. The military took power in a series of coups in 2020 and 2021.

The government’s defense minister was killed in April in a joint attack by JNIM and the Azawad Liberation Front, known as FLA, a Taureg-led separatist group.

The two groups joined forces battling Mali’s military even though they do not share long-term goals. The FLA want an independent land in north Mali, while the JNIM want to implement religious rule across the country.

"Hamas" Ain't Working!

Hamas is resistance not terrorists. The West attempts to shut down dissent aren't working any longer. Israel is the most hated country on Earth. There's no putting that genie in the bottle.

The biggest way to stifle critics is labels. When the far right decides to use their free speech to dehumanize Blacks, Muslims, Satanists, immigrants, gays, transgender people, non religious or disabled Americans, the left is quick to denounce them.

We call them racist, sexist, homophobic, Islamophobic, transphobic, etc.

It forces us to double down and push for firings and public shaming.

The right wants to call it "woke."

The left calls it "accountability."

The right does it when it comes to hating capitalism, Israel, Christianity, their definition of freedom, regulations and accountability. They value "traditional" norms.

Basically white suprmacy.

See in the United States, you are allowed free speech. However, when it comes to that country over in West Asia, it is off limits.

Criticism is considered antisemitism. Well I am tired of being nice about it.

Israel is committing a genocide. Those who endorse or support Israel are criminals. They are making Jews across the world look bad. If this country supposedly a place for Jews, why the fuck are they here in the United States?

Because if they don't feel safe because of words, then these reactions are just reactions.

Zohran Mamdani speaks the truth. Benjamin Netanyahu is a war criminal and he needs to be arrested.

The far right needs oxygen.

In order to escape a generation of failures under capitalism, the military industrial complex, the need to support Israel, the corporate elite and the system that keeps racial disparity, the folks need scapegoats.

Did you know, Secretary of Education Linda McMahon will likely incorporate the Oct. 7 attacks in U.S. history books?

New York City mayor Zohran Mamdani angered MIGA. 

The mayor did a speech in which he said the U.S. should abide by the International Criminal Court's warrant. He openly called the Israeli regime a criminal enterprise that has cause the deaths of millions.

Benjamin Netanyahu is a war criminal. pic.twitter.com/YRezmW6YVx

— Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani (@NYCMayor) July 22, 2026

Mamdani pledged to order the New York Police Department to detain Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The planned arrest was based on the International Criminal Court (ICC) warrant issued in late 2024 charging Netanyahu with war crimes and crimes against humanity tied to the conflict in Gaza.

However, in a video statement released on July 21, 2026, Mamdani walked back his campaign promise. He explained that after a legal review by the city’s Law Department, it became clear that local authorities do not possess the statutory jurisdiction or legal avenue to enforce an international warrant against a visiting foreign head of state.

President Donald J. Trump, Mark Levin, Laura Loomer, Sen. John Fetterman (I-PA), Rep. Josh Gottheimer (D-NJ), Rep. Randy Fine (R-FL), Benny Johnson, U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR), Rep. Mike Lawler (R-NY), Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY), Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC), U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Michael Waltz, Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders, U.S. Antisemitism Advisor Leo Terrell, Dave Rubin, Israeli Ambassador to the United States Danny Danon and Sean "Softball" Hannity react to the mayor's "disinvite" of genocidal maniac Benjamin Netanyahu.

Trump, for his part, insisted earlier this week that Netanyahu “will not be arrested” if he visits the U.S. The president argued on Truth Social that the Israeli leader was “fighting against the Islamic Republic of Iran” and said, “the only ones that should be arrested are the people that led Iran into this unprecedented spiral of death and destruction.”

Despite admitting the city's limitations, Mamdani doubled down on his rhetoric, declaring that Netanyahu is "not welcome in New York City" and labeling him a "war criminal". He explicitly shifted the responsibility upward, challenging the federal government to join the ICC and execute the warrant when Netanyahu travels to New York for the United Nations General Assembly.

Human rights groups like the Simon Wiesenthal Center also chastised the mayor, accusing him of misusing the prestige of his office to stoke domestic division and validate harmful anti-Israel rhetoric.

Fuck their feelings.

The accusation that someone supports Hamas is often used in political discourse to discredit or silence critics of Israeli government policies. This tactic relies on the severe stigma associated with Hamas—which is designated as a terrorist organization by many countries—to shift the focus away from the substance of the criticism. 

Hamas stated the reasons for the attack on occupation forces. It has nothing to do with the Jewish religion, a concert or Iran. 

By framing dissent as support for terrorism, the speaker can delegitimize the critic's position without engaging in a factual debate.At the same time, public debates surrounding geopolitical conflicts are highly polarized. Proponents of this labeling argue that certain rhetoric, slogans, or protests go beyond criticizing state policy and cross into genuine alignment with or defense of the group's actions. Distinguishing between legitimate political dissent and actual support for a militant group remains a central point of contention in media, academic, and political spheres.

If a country wants to exists, they have the right to. They can do it through three options:

• Declaration through peace
• Declaration through violent resistance
• Declaration through occupation

Palestine is the only solution.

Israel cannot exist any longer.

Israel and its allies overplayed the use of antisemitism. From now on, as long as there is no violence towards anyone practicing Judaism or Islam, I will not hold my tongue when criticizing Israel, Jews, President Donald J. Trump, Vice President JD Vance, members of Congress, Benjamin Netanyahu, the Anti-Defamation League, Jonathan Greenblatt, the Canary Mission, Zionism, colonialism, imperialism, slavery, racism, Christian nationalism and white supremacy.

Again, as long as there is no violence towards anyone practicing religious beliefs, there is no antisemitism when criticizing the Jews.

To clear up the AP's account of Oct. 7, the Israelis used the Hannibal Directive to massacre the settlers to prevent Hamas from taking IDF soliders. The IDF has used the weapons to kill settlers at a festival.

Hamas has been very clear on who they targeted. They targeted the IDF and the walls. They do not target civilians. Israel has exaggerated the way this went down.

This guy is a vermin. And if that's antisemitic to call him that, oh fucking well.

They have used American weapons to kill settlers, doctors, humanitarian aid workers, UN peacekeepers and their own IDF soliders. Israel has killed Americans, British, German, Australian, Canadians and French citizens. 

No investigations were carried out to why Israel targeted them.

Israel refuses to allow independent monitors into Gaza, Lebanon and Syria.

IDF soliders who refuse to carry out orders are often taken out by snipers.

The "hostages" were IDF soliders. 

Israel has violated the ceasefire. They are planning on invading Gaza, the West Bank, Lebanon and Syria. They have stopped humanitarian aid and attacked any attempts by volunteers or independent surveyors. 

Israel wants the U.S. to start a war with Iran.

Let me get this straight: You are more upset over words than actions. You are upset someone using their freedom of speech to criticize a foreign country engaged in a propaganda campaign to shield itself from war crimes and impunity. You are upset over people using their voices, their wallets and their time to protest an injustice. Well, get upset over your taxpayer money aiding foreign nations. You upset other countries deciding to ban or boycott Israel for its actions. Get upset over foreign nations killing Americans in a war funded by our taxpayer money. Get upset over the deaths of thousands in Haiti, Chad, Sudan, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Syria, Venezuela, Myanmar, Mexico, Azerbaijan, Armenia, Ukraine and Palestine. Get upset at your president, your senator, your representative, your governor, your state leader, your mayor and your local junk food media for bowing to the evil regime of Israel.

Could you name one damn thing Israel's done for the United States?

Cause sure as hell, Israel is spying on Americans, meddling in our elections, doing foreign lobbying with the assistance of AIPAC and the ADL.

The Israeli government through its proxies are trying to sway American lawmakers into criminalizing criticism of its actions to antisemitism.

Israel's latest excuses to justify the genocide:

• They claimed that Hamas wants to kill as many Jews as possible.
• They claim that Hamas has underground tunnels under schools, hospitals and refugee camps.
• They claim that Hamas was planning on building a dirty bomb.
• They claim that Hamas are using civilians as human shields.
• They claim that Hamas is ISIS.
• They claim that Hamas had a copy of Mein Kampf inside a base in a children's bedroom.
• They claim that Hamas were beheading 40 babies.
• They claim that Hamas misfired a rocket at a hospital.
• They claim that Hamas wants a regional war.
• They claim that Hamas had top secret plans to attack the U.S. and Great Britain.
• They claim that Hamas has a calendar that showed the shifts of who was watching the hostages.
• They claim that Hamas shot female soliders in the pelvis, buttocks and breasts.
• They claim that Hamas shot dead a civilian and raped the victim's corpse,
• They claim that Hamas has placed explosive devices on corpses.
• They claim that Hamas has infiltrated college campuses in the U.S. and Great Britain.
• They claim that Hamas support from individuals amounts to being a terrorist sympathizer.
• They claim that Hamas were working with UNRWA workers.
• They claim that Hamas has been hiding in plain sight.

Hamas is not raping women and there is no proof they done such a horrible act. It is part of the dehumanizing campaign Israel is promoting to influencers in the West. You see it when they are constantly deflecting from the images of Gaza being destroyed by American and European sponsored Israeli weapons. In their minds, they are justifying the brutal slaughter of children, men, women, journalists and doctors as collateral damage.

Israel has raped, pillaged and tortured Palestinians. It is confirmed but the United States won't do not one damn thing about it.

Just to let you know, that Israel has done almost everything they've claimed Hamas, Ansar Allah, Hezbollah and Iran done. These entities are about stop with the rules of engagement.

They don't have the military forces but they do have the advantage of the land and the ability to stop Israel without spending billions on missiles and firearms.

Donate It To Turning Point USA!

Any attempts of honoring Charlie Kirk will be met with resistance.

In September, the far right will mark the first anniversary of the passing of white nationalist Charlie Kirk. He was killed on Sept. 10, 2025 by a white man in Utah.

Well he won't have to worry about DEI, Muslims, transgender Americans, progressives, feminists and gun control advocates.

Charlie Lost His Head (Dedicated to Charlie Kirk) by Grok

(Verse 1)
Charlie Kirk stepped up with a fiery plea,
Lost his head in the fight for liberty,
A suit and tie, with a voice so strong,
Leading the charge where the bold belong!
(Chorus)
Oh, Charlie lost his head, oh what a sight,
Spinning with passion from day to night,
No fear to find, just a steadfast tread,
Sing it loud, Charlie Kirk lost his head!
(Verse 2)
Microphone blares, he’s the voice of the fight,
Lost in the battle for what’s wrong or right,
A tale to tell of a spirit so free,
Charlie Kirk’s the spark of audacity!
(Chorus)
Oh, Charlie lost his head, oh what a sight,
Spinning with passion from day to night,
No fear to find, just a steadfast tread,
Sing it loud, Charlie Kirk lost his head!
(Outro)
So raise a glass to Charlie, bold and true,
With a vision clear for me and you,
Head in the clouds, no fear to dread,
The legend lives on—Charlie Kirk lost his head!

The suspect, Tyler Robinson is being held on murder and terrorism charges. He faces the DEATH card if he is convicted.

No one is interested in Kirk. He died with his last words about gun violence...

“Counting or not counting gang violence?”

A sculptor has claimed he has been left nearly $100,000 out of pocket after making a statue of Charlie Kirk that no one wanted to pay for.

Sergio Furnari hoped that the life-size "freedom" statue he intended to unveil in New York City's Times Square would raise "millions" from Kirk's supporters across the US.

Instead, he received a torrent of online ridicule and threats to vandalise and urinate on the memorial to the murdered conservative activist.

Kirk, 31, the divisive Turning Point USA co-founder and close ally of Donald Trump, was shot dead on Sept 10 last year at a debate at Utah Valley University in Orem, Utah.

Although criticised by the Left for his views on race and gender issues, he is revered by many Republicans for his role in galvanising young conservatives.

$100,000 to make a terrible depiction of that white nationalist Charlie Kirk.

Furnari, who moved from Sicily to New York decades ago, sought to replicate the outfit Kirk was wearing on the day he died, with his shirt emblazoned with the word "freedom".

He plans to unveil the 1:1-scale statue of the 6ft 4in activist on the first anniversary of Kirk's killing. Its planned location is the busiest square of New York, one of the US's most liberal and diverse cities.

There was a backlash online after Furnari announced his plans. "Can't wait to deface your statue," one user wrote on social media, while another called it "a new public urinal".

One X user, who described it as a "monstrosity", predicted it would not last longer than 20 minutes undamaged.

There were also supporters of Kirk who were pleased by the statue but questioned the decision to display it in New York.

'Donors will be eternally attached to Kirk

Despite no one commissioning him to make it, Furnari has said he expected to make money from wealthy donors. He claims he spent $100,000 on steel, resin and labour.

His efforts to raise $150,000 online have also failed. As of Monday, only $7,660 (£5,700) had been donated towards the target.

For any contribution, donors will have their name engraved on the monument's platform. "So yes, your name will be eternally attached to Charlie Kirk," the page reads.

The Telegraph is unable to independently verify the true cost of the statue or Furnari's claim that he sold his apartment to pay for it.

Furnari said that he felt motivated to make the statue after seeing the world's divided reaction to Kirk's death.

He told The Telegraph: "What really triggered me was the way he was treated, the way his wife Erika Kirk got treated... it was pure bullying."

'We lost a genius'

Although he said he did not agree with everything Kirk said, Furnari said: "We lost a genius, someone who could have led this country."

Furnari said his hopes to display the statue would not be deterred by threats.

"If people are afraid of a statue in 2026, there has to be something really, really wrong with society. A statue is a statue – you can love it or hate it, but no one has the right to use violence or threats against me," he said, adding: "I am not afraid."

Furnari told The Guardian he made the figure to support Kirk's wife, to "glorify democracy", and to "commemorate a person".

To make matters worse for Furnari, he recently broke his foot working on the statue by falling over in his studio.

The Kirk statue is not the first of a high-profile figure to prompt ridicule.

Last month, a new 85ft statue of Lionel Messi, built in a remote town in Argentina and featuring a large World Cup covering the player's groin, was widely mocked.

The provocative placement of the trophy between the footballing star's legs caused great amusement online.

In 2017, a now-infamous bronze bust of Cristiano Ronaldo went viral on the internet for its lack of resemblance to the Portuguese footballer.

It featured a bizarre grin and misshapen facial features. In the face of endless memes, the artist produced a revised version of the statue in 2018.

In another case of poor likeness, Andy Murray was forced to unveil a life-sized terracotta warrior-style statue of himself in 2011 in Shanghai. It was immediately met with laughter from the crowd and confusion from the tennis player.

Abdul El-Sayed: Why Do I Keep Answering Questions About That Country Over 6,000 Miles Away?

It's almost over.

Dr. Abdul El-Sayed is in a competitive race against Rep. Haley Stevens (D-MI) to become the Democratic nominee for the U.S. Senate. The race is in a state that President Donald J. Trump carried in 2016 and 2024. 

Michigan is a key swing state.

His predecessors Joe Biden carried it in 2020 while Barack Obama carried it in 2008 and 2012. 

Hillary Clinton lost the state by 1.4 points and former vice president Kamala Harris lost it by 1.9 points.

Clinton failed to reach out to Michigan voters in key swing counties. Harris failed to reach out to Michigan voters in reliable areas which demanded her boss Biden change course on international policies.

As Trump continues his downward spiral in Michigan, Democrats see this seat being vacated by Sen. Gary Peters (D-MI) as a key hold. Yet, they are ready to gamble their chances on weakening the Democratic nominee.

Whomever becomes the nominee will be weakened by the aggressive nature of outside spending. An issue that both candidates face is the cost of living and the support of Israel.

Stevens is a stuanch supporter of Israel. She is unapologetically supportive of the apartheid regime and vows to assist the country. She also claims to support Michigan voters' interest. 

El-Sayed is  vocal critic of the apartheid genocidal ethnostate. He is now being forced to answer to every question about it despite him not being interested in it.

He wants to focus on Michigan and not the noise from outside the state. 

When CNN hosts Jake Tapper and Kasie Hunt pressed El-Sayed on Israel, the candidate reacted to it with shear annoyance. He directly tells the hosts that the question of Israel is always asked of him and not the issues of Michigan. 

He is fighting three fronts. The Republicans, the outside spending and the establishment Democrats.

Peters broke his neutral stance by endorsing Stevens. He and Sen. Elissa Slotkin (D-MI) have endorsed her after Mallory McMorrow withdrew from the race. Rep. Jim Clyburn (D-SC) and the Congressional Black Caucus PAC has endorsed Stevens as well.

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) and Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-MD) have endorsed El-Sayed.

Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) who earlier endorsed McMorrow endorsed El-Sayed shortly after she dropped out. 

Former lawmaker Marjorie Taylor Greene have reacted to El-Sayed's rise by stating that Michigan voters see him as authentic. She said that Stevens and former Republican lawmaker Mike Rogers will continue to push Israel ahead of America. 

El-Sayed caught wind of it and agreed. He told Politico's Dasha Burns that even some of Trump’s base are starting feel pain and the pressure to change course is bipartisan.

Well the KHIVE and establishment caught wind of it and called El-Sayed a GOP plant.

The same stuff to go after Graham Platner and James Talarico is now plaguing El-Sayed.

The mildest criticism or even harsh criticism of Israel has invited the outside spending and the bad faith actors to drag down candidates who oppose the status quo.

Platner was voted by Democratic primary voters. He was forced out after allegations of sexual abuse. His personal problems were the distraction from issues Maine voters faced.

Now they put a potentially easy seat to flip in the Republican hands. They will install a nominee who isn't focused on the populist stances that Platner ran on. Maine Democrats will not back the nominee regardless. Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME) is a curmudgeon with Parkinson's disease. She will earn herself another six years.

Talarico won after he worked to convince Texas Democrats he is not noise. He won against Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX). Crockett, a supporter of Israel and frequent face in the junk food media tepidly endorsed Talarico after her loss. The Black voters who backed her are saying his race is lost. They vow to oppose him and they rather allow Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton to be the senator.

Back to El-Sayed, he has talked about potholes, poor infrastructure, crumbling schools, medical debt, data centers, the wildfires in Michigan and Canada, the cost of living and groceries. He has declared that every interview will eventually have Israel in it.

He showed frustrations that many Americans are holding. 

Stevens has resorted to distractions about his tax returns, his endorsement from Hasan Piker, his refusal to answer about "Israel's right to exist" and him being a Muslim.

El-Sayed stated that the "distractions" are not paying people's bills. He stated clearly endorsements are good but voting is better. He is tired of "guilt by association" and talk about things outside of Michigan.

I Can Handle Six Years!

The DEI hire, Sen. Darline Graham Nordone (R-SC) walks with Sens. Katie Britt (R-AL) and John Thune (R-SD).

Reps. Ralph Norman (R-SC), Russell Fry (R-SC), Lt. Governor Pam Evette and now Sen. Darline Graham Nordone (R-SC) are in the running for the special primary election to replace Lindsey Graham.

Graham, 71 died in July after returning from Ukraine. He had a heart condition that he ignored. He was supposed to appear on GOP Sundays with Kristen Welker, Shannon Bream, Martha Raddatz and Margret Brennan to whine about Democrats opposing Israel and more war with Iran.

Graham's funeral services on July 28. President Donald J. Trump, Vice President JD Vance, Sens. John Thune (R-SD), Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and Gov. Henry McMaster will likely attend.

Okay, Graham Nordone, 61 is the sister of the late senator. She was appointed this month and has already voted on numerous bills.

“I’ve made a decision,” Darline Graham told Fox host Sean "Softball" Hannity, according to a clip released of an interview set to air later Monday. “I’m in.”

The entrance of Graham Nordone — sworn in last week to fulfill the remaining months of her late brother’s term, which expires in January — into the Republican scramble to select a new Senate nominee further complicates an already rushed process following Graham's death earlier this month.

A weeklong filing period opens Tuesday for the special Republican primary, which will be Aug. 11. On Friday, Trump said that Graham Nordone had his “Complete and Total Endorsement” to seek the nomination, adding, “RUN, DARLINE, RUN!”

Last week, McMaster appointed Graham Nordone to serve the remainder of her brother’s term, which ends in January. In his announcement, McMaster made no reference to Graham Nordone as a placeholder or symbolic appointment, although a person familiar with McMaster’s thinking but unauthorized to speak publicly said the governor, in selecting Graham Nordone, had never contemplated that she would run for the seat herself.

Before the emergence of Graham Nordone — and their Oval Office meeting after she was sworn in — Trump had previously suggested he could back a potential candidacy from Rep. Russell Fry, who said Monday he would officially enter the special primary.

Softball Hannity, softball.

Several other noteworthy politicians, including Norman, have already gotten in, and others like Evette have been eyeing a run. 

Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) announced Monday she would not enter the contest.

Graham Nordone told "Softball" Hannity said she had been “praying a lot” about how to navigate her new role.

“It is a tremendous amount of pressure,” she said.

“I know I’m a hard worker. I learned that from Lindsey,” Graham Nordone said. “I feel like I can do it. I feel an inner peace about it. Will it be difficult? Yes.”

Funeral services for Lindsey Graham are scheduled to be held next week in Washington and South Carolina. A preliminary report from the medical examiner said he suffered a tear in his aorta.

The millions in Lindsey Graham’s campaign account aren’t funds that Darline Graham could directly access in a run of her own, according to Bradley A. Smith, a former chairman of the Federal Election Commission.

Under federal rules, Lindsey Graham’s campaign would be limited to transferring just $2,000 to a potential Darline Graham candidacy. However, Smith said there is no limit on how much it could transfer to the National Republican Senatorial Committee, which could — thanks to a Supreme Court decision last month — “spend an unlimited amount in coordination with Darline’s campaign.”

Have South Carolina as Safe Republican. Now whomever wins will face against Annie Andrews, the Democratic opponent.
