NJ: Please Lower Flags In Memory Of Graham

Senator Joe Pennacchio (R-Morris, Passaic) called on Governor Mikie Sherrill to lower U.S. flags in New Jersey to half-staff in accordance with President Trump’s July 13 proclamation honoring the life and service of U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham, who passed away suddenly on July 11, 2026.

“Senator Lindsey Graham dedicated decades of his life in service of our nation, both in Washington and in the Air Force,” said Senator Pennacchio. “Our nation has long understood that when a public servant passes away after a lifetime of service to the American people, we come together and honor them with dignity and respect. New Jersey should not be the exception. Senator Graham may have represented South Carolina, but his oath of office was to the United States Constitution, both as a congressman and as a Veteran. I respectfully request that the Governor acknowledge the President’s directive and order all flags in New Jersey to be lowered out of respect to Senator Graham’s lifetime of service.”


Senator Graham served more than two decades in the United States Senate after being elected in 2002 and previously served four terms in the U.S. House of Representatives. Before his time in Congress, he served in the United States Air Force for 33 years, retiring with the rank of Colonel.

On The Death Of Senator Lindsey Graham . . .

From our friend Christine Flowers:

I only just now . . . had a chance to read some of the comments about Lindsey Graham. Many of them are kind, thoughtful, very appropriate to mark the passing of a combat veteran, a man who spent three decades in public service, a staunch ally of Israel and a genuinely blithe spirit and happy warrior.

But many more have been cruel, a shameful example of the degradation of our discourse. Interestingly, most of the cruelty comes from the same people who accuse Donald Trump of being arrogant, rude, insensitive, insulting and coarse. Hypocrites are often the last to recognize their own hypocrisy. But I am particularly upset at the veiled accusations that Senator Graham “might have been gay.” It’s used as an insult, which I would think no longer has a place in our society, especially among the “genocide-rainbow-transisgood-pro abortion” demographic that recoils at any suggestion that we are not “Free To Be, You And Me” ( gratuitous Marlo Thomas reference.)

They ignore the fact that he put his own life on hold to raise his little sister when their parents died. Imagine that sacrifice, in a very young man. Perhaps that’s the reason he had no wife. Nobody’s business.
Beyond that, it’s a cruel suggestion that single people have something wrong with them, that there must be some ulterior reason, a hidden shame or a congenital defect, that has left them facing life “alone.”

I am single, by choice. I am happy to live in a world filled with friends I love, family I cherish, pets I have and will yet mourn when they cross into eternity. I treasure my dinners alone, quiet moments with a book or a slice of cake, walks in the rain (sorry if this ironically sounds like a personal ad.) I am truly happy for those who have found what the Italians call their “anima gemella,” their twin spirit. I am wryly amused yet still happy for those who’ve done it over, and over…and over again.

But like Lindsey, I see my life through a single lens, crystal clear. And yes, I am straight even though I went to Bryn Mawr.

My point is that criticizing Lindsey for his politics is fine (I shared them almost 100%.) But mocking his choice to remain single is more of a commentary on the mediocrity of the heckler than it is about the great spirit of a glorious patriot. Who is home, now, with some friends who loved him.

Kim Kries As Kooky Stunt Krumbles!

From a facebook friend:

Warning to every Congressman, Senator, or activist itching to "stand with protesters" at ICE facilities.

Yesterday outside Newark's Delaney Hall, Sen. Andy Kim (D-NJ) didn't just insert himself. He actively shielded rowdy, obstructionist demonstrators who were chaining themselves to exits, blocking federal vehicles, and turning a detention center into a riot zone. ICE agents did what they had to do. They deployed pepper spray to clear the dangerous blockade.
Kim caught a face-full of it while playing hero for the mob. Classic self-own.
But here's the idiot masterstroke. This so-called leader then let volunteers flood his eyes with water, spreading the oil-based capsaicin across even more skin and amplifying the burn over a wider area. He turned a standard 30-minute sting into pure, self-inflicted agony.
That's what happens when you choose the side of facility-targeting agitators over federal law enforcement. Kim wasn't de-escalating. He was aiding chaos. And he proved it by botching his own first aid like a rookie protester.
Congress, stay out of the way. Let agents do their jobs. Obstruct at your own risk.

Hey Mikie And Andy, Take A Look At THIS!

This is how you act on Memorial Day. 
This is how you remember the fallen. 
This is what real pride in country looks like.
NOT your despicable grandstanding!

They Dishonored Our Military; Our Fallen Heroes!

Good News About A Genuine HERO!

The mother of Staff Sgt. Andrew Wolfe — who was shot by an Afghan national in DC — announces Wolfe came BACK from the hospital and is now playing golf again! "We have a strong faith in God, and God is what brought our son through this." "He came home from the hospital April 2nd, and he is now enjoying being home. He's getting back into playing golf. He loves cornhole, as you know. He loves doing so many activities, and so we're truly blessed that we're able to get him into some outpatient care closer to home."

"We do have another surgery coming up in September, and just recovery is my understanding that will happen for quite some time, but I have no doubt that he will be 100% back to Andrew within a few years, independent, driving, being a young bachelor again!"

And Now, This -- From Our Vice President, J.D.Vance

America Takes Lead On Energy Production, Security!

President Donald J. Trump has directed a bold and decisive U.S. naval blockade to counter Iranian aggression and restore safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz — a masterstroke of American leadership that showcases a level of power and strength the world has never before witnessed.
 
As this historic action unfolds, America’s record-breaking energy production is providing a critical lifeline to the world. Thanks to President Trump’s American energy dominance agenda, the U.S. stands as the world’s top energy producer and exporter — ready to supply reliable, abundant energy to nations cut off from Middle Eastern crude.

Signs of American energy leadership are immediate:
  • As of yesterday, 167 crude tankers had declared U.S. destinations, with 103 empty vessels heading to American ports to load U.S. crude.
     
  • Of those, 54 were Very Large Crude Carriers, each capable of carrying approximately two million barrels.
     
  • Many had recently unloaded elsewhere and are now steaming to the Gulf of America — including 20 empty tankers under European flags and 20 under Asian flags.
After just one year back in office, President Trump’s pro-energy policies have shattered records and secured America’s position as the undisputed global energy leader:
  • U.S. natural gas production hit a record 118.5 billion cubic feet per day, with new record highs forecasted in both 2026 and 2027.
     
  • America became the first nation in history to export more than 100 million metric tons of liquefied natural gas (LNG) in a single year — reversing years of Biden-era restrictions.
     
  • Oil production reached an all-time high of 23.6 million barrels per day.
     
  • U.S. offshore oil production also set a new record.
     
  • The Trump Administration opened vast new areas for oil, gas, and coal development, approved nearly 6,000 drilling permits on federal and Native American lands (a 55% increase over the prior year), and advanced multiple new LNG export terminals.
     
  • Today, the United States produces more oil than Saudi Arabia and Russia combined and more natural gas than Russia, Iran, and China combined—securing its role as the undisputed global energy leader.

President Trump’s energy dominance agenda is more than policy; it is American strength. While adversaries weaponize energy, America delivers it.

Quick Summary Of Message From The President

"Any Iranian who fires at us, or at peaceful vessels, will be BLOWN TO HELL!" "Effective immediately, the United States Navy, the Finest in the World, will begin the process of BLOCKADING any and all Ships trying to enter, or leave, the Strait of Hormuz." "At some point, we will reach an “ALL BEING ALLOWED TO GO IN, ALL BEING ALLOWED TO GO OUT” basis, but Iran has not allowed that to happen by merely saying, “There may be a mine out there somewhere,” that nobody knows about but them." "I have also instructed our Navy to seek and interdict every vessel in International Waters that has paid a toll to Iran." "No one who pays an illegal toll will have safe passage on the high seas. We will also begin destroying the mines the Iranians laid in the Straits." "The Blockade will begin shortly. Other Countries will be involved with this Blockade. Iran will not be allowed to profit off this Illegal Act of EXTORTION. They want money and, more importantly, they want Nuclear. Additionally and, at an appropriate moment, we are fully 'LOCKED AND LOADED,' and our Military will finish up the little that is left of Iran!"

President DONALD J. TRUMP"
