The soldier above all others prays for peace, for it is the soldier who must suffer & bear the deepest wounds & scars of war.-Gen #MacArthur

@PaulIngrassia Amen! 🇺🇸🗽

In America, the presumption of innocence is inviolable. It is supposed to be a bedrock principle of our legal system. The presumption of innocence demands rigorous legal guardrails, referred to as procedural due process. Those who resent this arrangement should really channel their resentment against the Constitution, the document which safeguards the God-given rights of every citizen and lays out these protections boldly. One remains innocent until a court of competent jurisdiction renders a judgment. This process is what separates America from the world, and is what makes this country exceptional. Let’s not lose sight of this.

Pray hard for the heroic men and women serving in our armed forces. They are truly the best among Americans and sacrifice the most - always have been.

@annietag_ @NEWSMAX Great interview on Newsmax!

An honor to speak with America’s Mayor today. Story on @NEWSMAX!

Today, we honor two American heroes who gave their lives defending the United States and our allies. We pray for their families, for the safe return of the missing servicemember, and for the swift recovery of the wounded. Their sacrifice will never be forgotten, and we remain committed to securing the peace they fought to protect.

@RogerJStoneJr @nixonfoundation @NixonLibrary Roger, you’re tan, rested & ready! Nixon Now!

When it comes to Richard Nixon, I was just before my time..

.@NEWSMAX: “Jim Banks introduced a bill that would codify President Trump’s Day One Executive Order, the Citizenship Act of 2026.” @RichValdes: “This is a slam-dunk and I think this one will likely work if it makes its way to the Supreme Court… I think the language is clearer.”

Lindsey Graham and President @realDonaldTrump’s friendship was shaped by their view of the primary role of the federal government and presidency: To provide for the common defense and keep the American people safe. My @NEWSMAX op-ed: newsmax.com/vanhipp/graham…

@DonnaON88693977 Amen! They’re asleep. One of the greatest breakthroughs in our lifetime in the fight against cancer!

@VanHipp This should be being picked up by worldwide media outlets and reported on. It’s a major breakthrough and excellent news for those unfortunate people who have this stage of pancreatic cancer.

So proud of the groundbreaking discovery of Stage V Cancer (meaning he’s figured out how to live w/Stage 4 disease) by Dr. Matteo Ligorio. And I’m honored to call him a friend. One of the world’s top pancreatic oncologists, Dr. Ligorio’s breakthrough offers hope to so many.

Congratulations, Senator Darline Graham. You've been a United States Senator for 24 hours, and the women of The View are already mad at you. I'd say you're off to a pretty good start. Your brother would be proud.

The University of Pittsburgh is leading the way in academia for space medicine. We’re honored to enter into a MOU with @PittTweet to advance mitochondrial transplantation & novel therapies targeting mitochondria dysfunction associated with space travel, aging, Long COVID & more. mitosenseinc.com/post/mitosense…

Senator Lindsey Graham spent a lifetime fighting for our state and our country. Today, it was my honor to appoint Darline Graham to complete his term and carry forward his legacy of service.

@toddstarnes Amen!

Social media is filled with memorial and tributes just about every time a lawmaker dies. And more often than not – the pundit crowd begins their posts with a caveat: “I did not agree with Senator so and so, but…” or “We disagreed on everything and he was a sorry so-and-so, but...” If you have to qualify your tribute or memorial – it is not a tribute. It's an example of bad upbringing. Senator Lindsey Graham died suddenly over the weekend. And I noticed that a good many folks on both sides of the aisle were offering backhanded condolences. Senator Graham was a good and decent man. He took care of his family. He fought for the unborn. He stood up for religious liberty. He was a friend to our president. And he will be missed. And as Grandma Starnes used to say – if you can’t say something nice – it’s just best to hush up.

In a time when too many run for office just to get on TV or more clicks on social media, Lindsey Graham actually did things to help people.   That’s called public service.  And he was always there to help the people of South Carolina he loved. RIP American Patriot. 🇺🇸

🇺🇸 He Kissed His Baby’s Photo Before Every Jump (USA – 101st Airborne, 1944) Sergeant Michael Donnelly carried a photo of his newborn son tucked into his helmet strap. Every time he jumped—Normandy, Holland, Bastogne—he kissed it first. He was killed in action in January 1945. 🕊️His fellow paratroopers returned the photo, folded with care, to his wife. On the back, he’d written, “Every time I fly, I land in you.” #WWII #History #FamiliesServeToo

In my op‑ed for the @nypost, I share our family’s story and why, as the daughter of Iranians who know America’s value, I say: happy birthday, and let’s protect what makes this country the greatest on earth. Happy birthday, my beloved nation! 🇺🇸 @californiapost @capostopinion nypost.com/2026/07/03/opi…
