"Senator Graham's family appreciates prayers at this time and asks for privacy during this incredibly difficult period," the statement continued.
U.S. President Donald Trump said that the American military stood ready to "completely decimate and destroy all areas of Iran" in response to threats to his life. Trump made the post on Truth Social in the early hours of Saturday morning. Media reports indicate that Trump received intelligence briefings from Israeli authorities that the Iranian regime was targeting him for assassination. In the post, the president said that "1000 Missiles are Locked and Loaded and aimed at the Islamic Republic of Iran" should the regime attempt to assassinate him. However, talks between Washington and Tehran are ongoing despite the recent hostilities. "PRAISE BE TO ALLAH!" added the U.S. president, signing off his social media post.
U.S. President Donald Trump said on Saturday that he had "just finished" a physical at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, without specifying when the exam was conducted. It was not clear whether Trump had a new physical or he was referring to the one he had in late May, following which he said "everything checked out perfectly." "I just finished a perfect physical at Walter Reed, I do it every six months, and I requested another Cognitive Test, the only President to do so, three times, and I aced them all " Got every question right," Trump, who turned 80 in June, wrote in a Truth Social post.

Youtube star Ms. Rachel is voicing her support for Muslims and the hijab, after President Trump singled out a kindergarten graduation ceremony in Minnesota. In case you missed it, this week, President Trump shared a video of a Minnesota kindergarten graduation featuring children, many of them wearing hijabs. He didn't write his own caption. Instead, he amplified a post from the X account End Wokeness highlighting that "every girl is in a hijab ... in kindergarten." children weren't protesting. They weren't campaigning. They were graduating. It's one thing to debate immigration policy. It's another thing entirely to put kindergarteners at the center of a political message.
Patricide Jeff is hoping for an invitation to one of his child-raping idol's kiddie beauty pageants.

We live at a helluva moment when a major GOP leader suddenly dies and the first reaction of many is disappointment that it was not a different major GOP leader.
