The Lindsey Graham State Funeral will be one week with the body lying in state in Jerusalem for 2 days. U.S. and Israel flags will be flown at half mast until August 1. Bombing missions in Gaza, Lebanon, Iran and Russia will be accelerated and dedicated to the memory of Sen. Graham. Posted by: GMST | Jul 12 2026 15:47 utc | 1 thinking about this in some sort of symbolic context, it seems to me the warmonger graham being dead, means the death of usa hegemony and an acknowledgement of the death of it too… it seems iran is providing the details… but that is the problem with symbolism for you – you can read almost anything into it…. graham is dead and i don’t have to hear about him and all his warmongering bullshit ever again.. Posted by: james | Jul 12 2026 15:50 utc | 2 news this morning said Trump was bombing 140 targets in Iran? is that old news?

Posted by: John Gilberts | Jul 12 2026 16:36 utc | 10 Expanding on my conspiracy theory and sudden death of Lindsay Graham just after returning from Kiev. An aerosolized virus (adenovirus is easiest but RSV is good too) engineered to cause over-expression of the human gene PAI-1, induces coagulation and disrupts fibrinolysis. Many papers written on this in mouse models. A large number of people hated this miscreant so it is a long list of suspects. Of course, he was overweight and ripe for a heart attack anyway so it could have been natural but the timing is suspicious. If other evil creatures of the swamp have sudden myocardial infarctions then that would confirm it.

After the election, I asked at least 100 people if they voted for him, and I found no one who would admit it at least. Quite a lot of the results were expletive no. Turned out even though it was supposedly opposition to them, they hand picked all the “tea party” candidates at least from the state, if not elsewhere also.They now reside in the part of Dante’s inferno which is cold.

Recall a few choice quotes from the Epstein File: Posted by: Exile | Jul 12 2026 19:40 utc | 40 I take solace in knowing that Lindsey Graham lived long enough to see his wildest dream, War with Iran, turn out to be a complete failure.

Posted by: michaelj72 | Jul 12 2026 23:43 utc | 68 CENTCOM excuse for illegal attacks on coastal Iran is to safeguard smugglers violating Iran responsibility under the U.S.’ MOU. Posted by: paddy | Jul 12 2026 23:45 utc | 69 What Mossad asset gets in Trump’s ear almost daily now that Lindsey is gone? Even Google AI can’t give a solid answer, suggesting Marco Rubio (nope, too young and Trump doesn’t vibe with Mario) and Tom Cotton (nope for same reasons. Somebody older, who actually likes golf.

If the current war modality oozes its way to November then will come the double-tap on orangman’s psyehe and it would be at that point we might see an even crazier Trump.

Posted by: psychohistorian | Jul 13 2026 0:32 utc | 75 Well no, because Iran’s ‘crazies’ would have had to have assassassassinate him in order for those numbers to then transpire. Posted by: General Factotum | Jul 13 2026 0:34 utc | 76 Massive American strikes on Iran as we speak. This won’t end till Iran shows the US it’s serious and takes out a few aircraft carriers/destroyers. If freaking Ukraine can hobble the Russian navy, I’m sure Iran can do some serious harm to the US navy. Posted by: bored | Jul 13 2026 0:40 utc | 77

Does Iran REALLY think those two US Empire vassals are its friends??

One hopes Kuwait and Bahrain are smoking craters by the time one wakes up on Monday morning in the US. And that a few US Navy ships have been heavily damaged.

And Iran was expecting what exactly? Even their new religious leader stated he thought the MOU a mistake. Seems Iran, like Russia, has a government that believes they can negotiable with the US, this despite a long history demonstrating this is impossible. Fifth columnists or simply deluded liberals?
