Episode Date: July 14, 2026

"For God's sake, let us sit upon the ground and tell sad stories of the death of queens." -Shakespeare, if the truth be told. Lindsey Graham is dead.

via uh... uh... pod bean and that means pod bean PayPal Roxanne Jesus

look I was on the road yesterday I'm a little blibibut bit bit yet but no thank you ever so kindly to Gary and Gaia and thank you to

uh different Gary. Thank you, Gary. And thanks as well to Tony in Chico. You know, Tony's been a member of the PayPal community, the supporting community, almost from the beginning of the program. Thank you, Tony. I just want you to know I think about that. Thanks as well to our friends at Postal Wade Education. And, well, that thanks one and all for all of all. you who are partial sponsors of the program. Where does that leave us standing? Well, we are three days in front of the halfway point of the month of July. The summer is rapidly running away from me,

and I'm not going to let it steal my joy. We are under the halfway point for fully funding July and if we take these few days, these last little today, tomorrow, and well, today through Thursday, let's say today through Thursday, we can be well ahead of the pack and well ahead in terms of our hopes for funding July fully, thanks to Ralph's and her No More Holes challenge and everyone who responded to that and the giant bailout of June. So the fundraising deficit, well, it's not even a deficit.

The fundraising goal now stands at $2,830. And I hope, like I said, we can use these four days to get it down to a manageable number. Well, that would be a real miracle four-day. That would be $700 a day, and that seldom happens, although it has. It has. So the PayPal buttons at head-on. Dot Live, the contribute tab has access for, like, Patreon, Vimaud, what have you.

Yeah. That reminds me after the program. Patreon wants me to do something. Jeez. Yeah, because I lead a life of indolent boredom. But anyway, that's it. That's not why you tend in. you tuned in because my goodness gracious what a fascinating weekend it has been oh yeah uh let's see

how to put this uh Mitch McConnell let me see if I get this right Mitch McConnell isn't dead but Lindsay Ladybug's Graham is Jesus yeah it was well it was well it was I woke up Sunday morning to lots of you messaging me on variations on the theme of, holy shit, Lindsey Graham's dead. And he is of an aortic deconstruction. I suppose we can start with that. Aortic deconstruction is a function of arteriosclerosis. hardening of the arteries

and the aorta is in the widow maker zone as they call it however there was no widow to make where Lindsay was concerned but nonetheless if something goes wrong with the aorta you got real problems

so the the word that filtered out in the wake of his his demise and there's still so many questions he was unmarried he lived alone didn't have any kids so uh who called 911 i was reminded of the i presume to still be authentic history of the passing of one former vice president nelson rockefeller it's amazing how many people don't think about him uh but he was once the vice president of of the United States. He was also

the father of the so-called war on drugs, which he used to devastating effect to attack communities of color when he was governor of the state of New York. This guy's been dead a long time and, well, there's his legacy.

It's a warning to us all. But Nelson Rockefeller was married and I don't know if he was divorced at the time of his passing, but, well, at any rate, as Richard Pryor once said of his own father, died fucking same time. Actually what happened in Nelson Rockefeller, because when the paramedic showed up, he was seated upright in a chair with his shoes on, his house slippers on backwards. His lady friend, well, she was nowhere to be found. And so that was one of the things I thought about when word came out that Miss Lindsay was dead.

Apparently we're having dropouts already this early in the program. God, I hope that doesn't become an issue. But anyway, so, you know, that's always going to, it's not always, but it's going to be a curiosity. Uh-huh. Wait a minute. Stand by. Well, I think we solved the drop-out problem. I haven't broadcast from here in a couple of weeks,

and I had everything set up and ready to go, except for the hardwire into the PC for the program. Now the hardwire is back in place. Thanks for thinking of that. here. But anyway, what to say about Lindsay Graham? Because his life is being memorialized all over creation. Some more charitable than others. Before we get to the uproarious laughter part of the program, well, there's always the, there's always the matter of the closeted life. Oh, and by the way, before I get into this,

happy birthday, darling in Connecticut. Happy birthday, and I hope you've had a really, really wonderful day. But, yeah, there's been all kinds of fun people have had over the course of the day. Well, this one caught my eye. It's from an account, it's a reel from an account called Dragapella. It's very short. It's any number. It's four drag queens expressing their feelings thusly.

Good news. Short, sweet, to the point. Again, dragapella. They sound great. But just in all seriousness, some remarks, some thoughts, just things that have been passing through my mind. since Sunday morning. It sent me, the news sent me down memory lane. By the way, the camel cardinal, Brother Deacon, Asa, saying the cabana boy, that's who called 911. Oh, no, not yet, Ralph's. So Ralph still has a challenge on the table this evening. There's $20 remaining of it. Let's

just start fresh with 25. And that would get us down to 2780. if somebody's got $25, Ralps is just itching to turn it into 50. Thank you, Ralps. And thank you to anybody who jumps in. It would be a great start to what may be, who knows, a wonderful evening. Well, no, I remember how I remember how I first became aware of Lindsey Graham.

He was brand spanking, and I do mean spanking, knew in the House of Representing back in the mid-90s. But even though he was a mite wet behind the ears and we won't say why or what he was wet with,

he got himself appointed to be a manager of the great Republican cleanest hunt. Mm-hmm. Oh, there he was on TV, day in and day out, just a fuminating and periodically having to take a minute just to settle him because he was getting the vexed and vapors from that from that that that that thorio bill clinton and his sexy time and he'd sit there on the desk and uh ask you because he was a lawyer you know he he was the he was the

first member his family ever to go to college mm-hmm and and and and and and his mama and his daddy they ran what was referred to as a restaurant and a pool hall restaurant restaurant come on don't don't be a snobrocks in best cheeseburger i ever had in my life was chili cheeseburger at the pool hall in florence alabama daggum okay not the best but maybe the second best it oh just pool hall had, like going to Waffle House, really. You got to watch all the action take place. But now his mama and daddy ran a pool hall and a restaurant,

and Miss Lindsay went through school. You know, back in them days, when a Southern boy was of a certain type, his teachers would say, well, he is so smart and he's very sensitive. Sensitive was elementary schoolteacher speak in the south were gay as fuck. But he come up from them humble beginnings and went to college and went to law school and become the lawyer and then joined the military as a lawyer and then rose in the ranks to a major, a captain. or some sort of thing in the in the south carolina national guard uh served a tour in a war somewhere he was lawyer and uh military lawyers aren't known for uh bullets whizzing past their heads but you know he served that's that's that's that's why him and john mccain had so many

things in common because you know they they they're fierce and my mind and butch military backgrounds. Yes. But at any rate, he got himself elected to the House of representing, and the next thing, you know, he was getting the vapors because all them sexy things, what Bill Clinton done did. And, of course, in the background, you know, he was a little minion of Newton-Leroy-Gangreen amateur paleontologist, and he did his master's bidding, because at the same time that they was involved in the Great Cleanest Hunt, well, Newt Gingrich was banging on Callister like a cheap gong from Pia 1. Yes. ah ah but that didn't that didn't even slow down miss lindsay and then fresh from the from delving about fumbling with the zipper of bill clinton

the people of south carolina propelled him right into the seat that was conveniently vacated by the ancient strong thumbing Mm-hmm. The man who in 1948 said there's not a nickel's worth of difference between a Democrat and Republican, and I'm leaving the Democrat Party. Because they won't stop the black folks from swimming in our swimming pools. And eventually, he ran for president that year. He did. And eventually he would become a Republican, and eventually it would turn out that. at some point in his life. Well, Straum Thurmond had been a sexy timing of the help and had a bastard child. Mom was black.

Strong was stone-called racist, at least, in public. But, you know, that's kind of the history of white men in the South, isn't it? You know, before 1860, 1865, they was a going, the white fellas was going down to the quarters at the same time that they was yelling the N-word in the fields. So in 2002, Miss Lindsay entered the Senate, and everybody, everybody from Dan to Beersheba knew that that man was gay, but he wouldn't come out no matter what nope and so he was a member of the new

united states senate from two from 2002 to 22 26 that's 24 years that's four terms in the senate of the united states almost completed four terms and among other things part of what probably done him in I swear I think this accent is sticking what did he man was going to keve now the fact that he had been to keve raised little um it made him a pink little ears perk up because that'd be a perfect place for one of pootie's um minions to uh slip him a little novichok or a little polonium pellet from the old umbrella, from the greatest heads, the Russian greatest heads.

Because, say what you will, about Lindsey Graham, he did appear to be quite committed to not see in Russia overrun Ukraine. If there's much in the way of good things to say about Lindsay, that's one of them. Of course, he was also an absolute, shit-eating supporter of Psycho Beebe and a big fan of genocide. But anyway, it's a 14-hour flight from D.C. to Krakow, Poland.

Because you can't just fly into Kiev anymore. Not a lot of air traffic going in and out of Kiev. And then you've got to get on a train. The plane flights 14 hours. The train ride is 12. That's a grand total of 26 hours. 14 of which are in a pressurized cabin, which is not particularly good,

especially if you're seated, not particularly good for the circulation of a 71-year-old man with hardening of the arteries. It might speak, for instance, to why nitwit Nero when he flies, Air Force One or the griff jet or whatever the hell, um, that he's up and walking around and ranting and raving the whole time.

Because, well, he's 10 years older than Miss Lindsay and subject to the same sorts of problems. Yeah. So that was Friday. And he's home by Saturday. And then Saturday night. aortic dissection. And in the words of Jesse Lee Peterson, a man of similar inclination, says Lindsay, he did. And I confess, while there is Chadenfreudeau-Plenty to go around,

Lindsay joins the ranks of other closeted men who have spent their entire lives denying their homosexual nature and have tried to and play it straight and have never come out even in an era when well had Lindsay come out as unlikely as well as impossible as that proved, bless his heart, he would have been celebrated for being true to himself. He would not have been the only out-Republican. In fact, I got a story in the stack here about an out-and-proud Republican who, well, maybe that's why Miss Lindsay never come out, because this guy's running for a congressional seat in, what, Montana? The congressional seat. and he is being pilloried up and down all around by people who are calling him everything but a child of God because he's gay.

Democrats aren't doing that to him. Republicans are. Now, Lindsay, had he come out, probably could have withstood that because he had a war chest from hell, and there was no way that he, uh, he, he his dear, dear, dear friends at APEC, we're going to let someone like Lindsay be driven from the Senate. APEC has enough money to buy partner every member of the United States Congress, and sometimes it seems like they have with very few limited exceptions. So, he never came out. He lived a life in hiding. he lived a life of fear he lived a life i know a little bit about a life of shame for who god made him to be now he professed to be a christian imagine spending your life being ashamed

of the way that the all power, all powerful, all knowing, all seeing, creator of the universe made you. I don't share that philosophy, but I spent a lot of time in the closet as a trans woman in hiding, and it ain't healthy, not at all. and I dare say there's more than a handful trans women in this community who can say the same the same I've never heard from any trans guys

but they're certainly welcome and it's a similar phenomenon and so it's a pity it's a shame I suppose there's a distant possibility that maybe Lindsay Roxanne

we're not doing the accent for three solid hours I suppose it's a possibility that maybe maybe Lindsay was ace, asexual, incapable of forming romantic attraction to other people. But his history with sex workers who have dared to speak out would suggest otherwise that he was, in fact,

a closeted gay man. Goodness me. And so I'm going to go here. Next. I saw this earlier today. A trans woman, an author, immediately stepped forward. Her name is Jesse James Rose. She wrote a book called Sorry I Keep Crying During Sex.

And, you know, the law is such that the law of slander and defamation do not apply to the dead. Moreover, even if it did, the truth is still an absolute defense. Yeah. Again, Jesse James Rose went to Instagram and didn't so much spill as dumped the tea on Lady G. Because remember, back as far as far as, back in 2011 Lindsay was having conyptions opposing

the repeal of don't ask don't tell which was just a closet policy that forced serving members of the military to keep their sexuality

private at the risk of being discharged that in fact was the policy that applied when Lindsey Graham was in the military. And so it was that every time an LGBTQ plus issue arose, Lindsay was right there to bark and grunt and hoot and fulminate against people who were just like him. He was opposed to marriage equality because he was well paid to be opposed to marriage equality. he opposed

Obergefell he opposed laws against workplace discrimination and so it was that Jesse James Rose posted three

full panels detailing her interaction with Lindsay Graham she wrote just woke up to find out Lindsey Graham is dead. Ball. Most of you know him as the homophobic senator from South Carolina, but to me, he will always be the man who paid a Twinkie pre-transitioned college student, hand-raised emoji, a fat stack of cash to do unspeakable things to him in a hotel room

while he wore red lingerie. It is a canon trans event to have far-right freaks bank rolling you and then turning around and voting against you. People love to judge us for it, but I never see them opening their wallets. Shout out to sex workers everywhere, forced to humanize their enemies just to make rent. It is an absolute mind-fuck to me that one of the reasons I have any semblance of financial security

and a lack of student loans is because of this man. At the time I had no eye. idea who he was and I only figured it out because another group of twinks leaked Lady G to the media. Some queers tried to grandstand critique this, saying we shouldn't out people. I believe bigots with power deserve no peace or privacy, especially when they hold public office. I'm glad they did. Icons forever. Anyway, she said, if you've ever. If you've ever enjoyed what I do on the internet know that it is in part because of Lindsay's generous donation

over a decade ago. If I've ever sent you money for something, no, that was kick-started by the now-deceased sissy senator from South Carolina. Lindsay, rest in hell for what you did to our community. I will continue to love queer and trans people harder than you ever hated us. You loved every second of our time together, and now everyone knows. And I don't know if she deleted the fourth panel or if it was made up, but what I saw was followed by, oh, and the ladybugs, they were real. Now, those are just my little ladybugs. And some of what Jesse James Rose was referring to included in 2020 porn performer Sean Harding posted online implying that an unnamed Republican senator had hired multiple gay sex workers including him.

People connected the story to Graham based on the nickname Lady G, a code name sex workers in D.C. allegedly used to refer to the South Carolina legislator. The nickname followed Graham for what would turn out to be the final years of his life. Again, it's all pathetic. He could have been out. He could have been happy. Hell, he could have come out and quit the Senate. But he was as dedicated in life to using his power for cruelty as he was dedicated to trying, using all 10 fingers and all 10 toes as the drive-by truckers sing just to keep the closet door closed.

But other people had entirely different takes with regard to Lady G. You might recall on January 6th, Lindsay declared, well, that's it. I've had enough. And within almost no time at all, was belly crawling back to, back to Nitwit Nero. Oh, and by the way, thank you, Auntie Kat. Auntie Kat met Ralph's challenge, so that gets us down to 2780. And that means we're almost a full day funded, $80 more, and we will be a full day below the halfway point of July building that cushion. Thank you. Thank you, Auntie Kat. Yeah, I know the replacement

has been named. I'm getting there. From K, well, not accepting yourself and hating others as a result. I'm not in any way defending a piece of shit, but I can say that he's a classic of this. I was there for a long time myself. I imagine him living in the South had a lot to do with it. Of course, the hatred he exhibited was also self-serving because it helped keep getting him elected. I guess that's also a sad commentary on this country in the world at large that bigotry often wins out. It does, and the South plays a part in it.

You're Southern, I'm Southern, okay? And, of course, back at the time that, well, nowadays, you know, one of the big fights is to preserve or protect trans kids, their bodily integrity, their bodily choice, and their ability to transition as soon as they realize who they are. Well, that didn't exist for me when I would have been that age. And so, well, I've often said that had I breathed the word of it, Ms. Terry, who was my dear friend in high school. She agreed with me when I said, you know, had we breathed the word of who we were, we would have been found floating face down in the Tennessee River by morning and not by our

own hands. There were some unrepentant, not that they should have been, but there were some just gay kids in my high school graduating class who refused to play the game and pretend to be straight. Then there were others whom everybody knew via various avenues were gay, but persisted in trying to pretend they were straight. But like I said, others have had different takes on his passing. And by the way, he will also be defined by his own words. Back when Greta Tunberg was aboard one of the ships desperately trying to bring aid to the genocide victims in Gaza, the flotilla. Lindsay Graham posted, Hope Greta and her friends can swim, because he wanted Israel to blow them out of the water. Because he was a bloodthirsty little piss ant, too. Every chance he got, you remember,

He'd show up on Fox News TV Radio Rwanda to rant and rave about how we, oh, he was practically Cato the Elder. I ran to Linda Aist. Iran must be destroyed. We would describe those moments as Lady G. getting all booitch. From the funnier side of things, Spencer Hakemian posting, Lindsey Graham wasn't married and had no kids. So who called the police in the middle of the night? And someone named Lee Breslin responded.

He was just about 17 minutes into a 20-minute phone call with Mitch McConnell when it happened. Thank God Mitch was able to call it in. But in terms of just, well, odd how just the other day we were quoting Clarence Darrow, I have never wished a man dead, but I have read some obituaries with real pleasure. Michael Phanone, who was a Capitol police officer on January 6, 2021, when Nitwit Niro led a domestic terrorist attack on the capital of the United States, Michael Phenone said, Lindsay Graham is dead. I will always remember my first and only encounter with him when he looked the grieving mother of a dead police officer in the face and barked that he wasn't going to listen to her blame Trump for January 6th. When I showed him my body cam footage from that day, he turned away and looked at his phone.

Rest in piss, you fucking worthless scumbag. If there's a hell, I hope you. you're in it. Well, if there is, and if one subscribes to Dante's categorization of it, the levels and everything, then he's in the lowest level of hell, for he is a betrayer. I guess he's down there playing pinnuckle with Judas's carrot top, a wasted life, a wasted life. Probably, and we should share this part as well, probably the classiest, response he came from uh hunter Biden he said when I and and you know this this is kind of the opposite of everything Lindsay Graham was because hunter his hundred Biden has been through

his own personal hell and he has come out the other side a manifestly better man and so he said when I heard about Senator Graham's death last night the first thing I thought about was not all the things he said and did in service of Donald Trump. I thought of the time before Donald Trump when he was a brother to Senator John McCain, a time when senators from different parties could fight about politics and still be friends, a time when a conservative Republican from South Carolina could say of my father, if you can't admire Joe Biden as a person, you've got a problem. He's the nicest person I've ever met in politics and a good man and as good as man as God ever created. That is the Senator Graham I will remember today, not because I have forgotten what came after,

because in that memory there is hope, hope for a country where brothers can fight like hell over policy and still share a meal and a laugh and the loss of the people they love. I will choose to remember the time before Trump because I believe in an America, after Trump. That was, at least in my opinion, profound. And then earlier today, Mitwit Nero demanded that Lindsay's sister, Darlene,

be immediately to fill the vacancy. Her name is Darlene Graham Nordone. She was nine years younger than her brother Lindsay. And speaking to the New York Post, she said, actually, I'm just kind of devastated right now. Apparently, they lost their parents in the 1970s. When Darlene was 13 and Lindsay was 22,

he became her legal guardian. He supported her with his military benefits. She said, he's always been there for me, no matter what. Nitwit Niro, desperate not to have another absence in the Senate, said, Oh, this would be a fabulous tribute to Lindsay who loved her dearly. How would he fucking know? He doesn't love anything dearly. He's a psychopath.

Representative Joe Wilson, whose real name isn't Joe, that would be Joe Uly Wilson. He supported Darlene Nordone's appointment. It's just a brief affair. he'd serve through January the 3rd. There's one humorous aspect of this, and that is that Nancy Hatchet-face Mace apparently thought that she might ought to have a chance at the seat.

No, no, hatchet face, no. She has almost no support whatsoever. hatchet face mace does in South Carolina. And now that we're using betting platforms for gauging the pulse of public opinion at at Calshe she was down at

4% but no Darlene has been filled or been appointed to fill Lindsay C one wonders is she will be every bit as hateful as her big brother was. Governor Henry McMaster of South Carolina said of Lindsay Graham, he was this irresistible man, this irreplaceable man, this extraordinary man.

Irresistible is an interesting choice in that triptych of phrases. It is my honor to ask. his little sister, Darlene Graham, to finish his work for him now. And I guess she said yes. So it'll take her a minute to get fully up to speed on the

processes in the Senate, but I'm sure she'll have a handler perhaps from A-PAC, who can teach her which button to push when it's time to push buttons to vote. In a just and decent and good world, and why do I continue?

She would prove to be the antithesis of her brother, but I sincerely doubt that's going to happen. She's not going to say anything about the hateful brutality of the closet. No, no, I don't think so. Well, listen, y'all, I have no control over whether or not the program is blipping. None whatsoever. The only time we blip back home is when, you know, Appalachian. power runs under the bed and shivers like a terrified chihuahua passing a peach bed. But we're blipping like mad, and I've got a hard wire and everything going, so I got nothing.

Lee tells me three brief blips. Jeremy says you're breaking into funny music again. Don't blame me for the music. That's the camel cardinal. So have we said enough about the passing of Lady G? I'm sure more. will be said and the only people talking about his life in the closet will be the people who he quietly and surreptitiously came out to while he was a bit golly moses how much did he pay jesse james rose that she was able to finish it how much did she have to do i could do a little i could do a little digression into what well never mind i'm not but as she said she was handsomely paid for doing unspeakable things to lindsay graham while he was dressed in red lingerie

pathetic it's sad uh from jeremy we all uh we all know of lindsay's famous claims of rackin balls from sunset to sunrise at his daddy's boo hall i'll add that that probably happened away from the hall as well Mm-hmm. God made me this way? Lee in New York answering, it's good to know who's to blame for my shoddy construction. Yeah, that's one of the, yeah, intelligent design. That always gives me a giggle.

Really? Intelligent design? How intelligent is the wisdom tooth? How intelligent is the appendix? And that's before we even get to the mosquitoes and the seats he flies. There's nothing wrong with my Windows 11, Randy Radar, at all. the problem is the bandwidth and I don't know why that problem exists but here we are but no no windows is doing just fine nothing it don't worry and so having entered the

second hour of the program just yeah we are at 2780 we could get down to if we got down to 2700 that's a full day post July 16th that is funded. So we'll kind of keep at it. And thank you in advance for anybody who does jump in. And by the way, it's just something to be happy about. Lee lets me know that obligatory Star Trek reference, Patrick Stewart, make it so number one, is 86 years old today. Well, happy birthday and many happy returns. Is he Sir Patrick? I can't remember. I can't keep up with it. Yeah. Randy asked earlier, how many votes can the Republicans afford to currently lose in the U.S. Senate and even taking into account the VP's tiebreaking vote?

Well, they have 53, and they're down to 52. And with that, Lisa Murkowski bails on some things. Susan Collins is definitely going to be bailing on some things trying to get reelected. So that's 50. If you get down below 50 here and there with, say, Rand Paul, libertarian ophthalmologist, then you make that up with John Federman voting the other way, serving in his role as senatorial Kirsten Mansion, stabbing the Democratic caucus in the back. And that gets you back to 50, and there's J.D. Vance's tying votes.

So I hope that addresses it. And then there's Moscow Mitch McConnell, who we were assured in a statement. It was very much alive. A briefly lost consciousness. I was taken to the hospital, and I'm now in a rehabilitation facility. with my beloved bride to lean here by my side. Yeah.

No video, no audio recording, just a photograph of Moscow Mitch sitting up in a bed wearing a red and white checkered shirt such as you might

see in a revival production of oh I don't know Oklahoma singing Surrey with the fringe on top. But it was just a photo. And immediately people began looking at the photo and said, huh, this was taken two years ago in 2024. But of course, the credulous multimillionaire for-profit media

swallowed it whole. And so the goal was achieved to wit, getting people to stop talking about Moscow, Mitch being dead. Not me, though. Is he or ain'ty? Randy Radar, that does not happen on this machine. I've got articles that indicate people's Windows OS maxing out their CPUs and drives at random moments seemingly for no reason,

but MS is busy doing spying and other inane and stuff. Insane, I don't know. No, I run my little monologue. and none of that is happening. That's not where the blips are coming from. But, oh, what else? Well, I'm not the only one skeptical about Mitch McConnell's statement, because if he suddenly passes away on August the 4th

or the 7th or the 8th, it will know the fix was in. Over at CNN, one of their political reporters. Camilla Deschalas noticed some language from his statement that, well, it grabbed me too. And he said that he was briefly in a, he was concussed that he did not, he just suffered from just being briefly unconscious for a bit. And that's why he was sent to the hospital. Now, he says, according to the doctor's note, that he did not suffer from any heart stroke, that he did not suffer from any broken bones or from a concussion, but he said that while he was in rehabilitation and that he was recovering, that he developed a mild case of pneumonia. Now, this is very important

of why he was saying that's why he's been out. But really what was kind of telling is that you saw that the senator got a little bit more vulnerable in his statement stating, and I quote, you all know how folks of my generation often hesitate to share the vulnerability that comes with growing older, even in the public eye. I feel that. same instinct. I can't help it. And he really details about how in the past he's struggled with some health challenges. And that's what made his recent hospitalization this time around that he remained a little bit silent of what transpired. But he said that according to the advice Oh, you sweet summer child.

From his doctor that they have recommended that he does not return to the Senate while he still is in recovering from this. And he's at right now. receiving physical therapy to ensure that he does not suffer from any other falls going forward. But yeah, that's just not going to happen. He's a polio survivor. He's had trouble getting around all his life. He was stricken by polio back when he was a child in Calvert County or perhaps limestone County, Alabama, long before he ever decamped to Kentucky stand and went to school up there. Yeah, it was children. like Moscow Mitch McConnell

that sent America's unstrickened children door to door with little boxes in a campaign called the March of Dimes that was created by

FDR and funded initially by some of his rich friends so that others might never have to be afflicted with polio the way he himself FDR was. Either directly or indirectly, Moscow Mitch was a beneficiary of that and has spent his life shitting on everyone else. You know, who wasn't a bourbon distiller or an oil company or a drug manufacturer or an organization who gave away awards in front of the Confederate

battle flag in Kentucky, which he proudly posed in front of. He's going to continue to be at a risk of falling and nothing is going to prevent that going forward short of just never trying to walk again. Oh and by the way while we're at it if he if he if he if he if he fell while he he was just up gambling about in the in in his mansion there in D.C. Well, why was he brought out of the why was he brought out of the house barefoot he's at a fall risk why did he not have grippy socks

there at home they're not that expensive the grippy socks they'll put them on you in the hospital because there's a lot of risks falling in the hospital I'll never I'll never forget toddling around my unit in a pair of grippy socks a few a couple of days after surgery.

But more on another aspect of his statement in a moment. This is a really key defining moment because you just had this past week where the Democratic governor of Kentucky put out a public letter essentially requesting a health update from the senator and really lamenting about how his constituents have the right to know about his current health condition and about where he currently stands and most importantly whether he's still fit to continue to serve an office and really in the statement he'd really be. really does detail laying out what he's been through and his path, how open and public his other hospitalizations were and why he kind of remained silent this time around.

Camilla, Charles, really appreciate the reporting. Thank you. I'm sure we all do. But that business about people of his age. Yeah. He said, Dang it. He said, Uh, folks of my generation often hesitate to share the vulnerability that comes with growing older. Even in the public eye, I feel that same instinct. I can't hip it.

That's, that's how you say it when you grew up in Calvert County. I can't hip it. I can't hip it. Well, let's take a moment with that, shall we? I have been around old Appalachian people all my life. In some ways, I feel like my growing up was training for where I am now. Part of my youth, when we would either come up and visit my grandmother, Kincaid,

or eventually when she came down to live with us, was perfumed by Absorbean Jr. Because when she was a younger woman than I am now, she got run over by a young fella. Wasn't paying attention. Maybe he was drunk. I don't know. But it damn near killed her.

And what it did do was crush both of her knees. Now, we're talking about before I was born, so we're talking about the late 5th. really early 60s, when orthopedic surgery was not exactly where it is today. There was no such thing as a knee replacement. You just try to put things together with pins and screws and hope for the best. But she was as tough as any woman I've ever known. They told her she would never walk again.

But walk she damned near did, or damned well did. She used a cane. exactly Jeremy I have lived long enough to be considered an old Appalachian woman and I've been training for it all my life and in the part of Appalachia where my family comes from is a whole bunch of coal miners and a lot of men literally coughing their lives away and having fought like like the very dickens just to get the basic income that they were doing and owing for having sacrificed their lives for the coal industry. But even the side of my family that were farmers, what did Moscow Mitch say? Folks of my generation often hesitate to share the vulnerability that comes with growing older. Bullshit! Baloney! Complaining about one's infirmities is one of the privileges of being...

an elder, in my case, an elder Appalachian, or the culture with which I am familiar, older folks will become shockingly frank about the operation of their bodies, celebrating things like regularity, and announcing to the world when they aren't, talking about their aches and their pains and their complaints and bunions and skin, tags and you know there was a reason it became a running joke on the Beverly Hillbillies

when Uncle Jed would say Granny, go and get your rheumatiz medicine because that was that was Granny's excuse for getting liquored up. Oh, marumatiz is acting up and you know what? You get a belly full of 140

150 proof good clean moonshine and it'll perk you up, at least in the short run. But that attempt to be foxy and trade on his southerness, that rings hollow for me at least, doesn't it you? I was briefly unconscious. Now, again, we are treating this as if it really is a statement from him, which I do not believe to be the case.

The whole thing reads like it was cooked up in a PR shop, or at least the comm shop of his own office. I was briefly unconscious. So you're out toddling around without your grippy socks on, and something, we still don't have an answer to what, caused him to become briefly unconscious. Then why, when the 911 call was made, did dispatch send out an ambulance that was made? did dispatch send out an ambulance that was equipped. All ambulances are not so equipped with advanced life support. Why was there talk of performing CPR on him? There are not very many things left in this country that are the same from sea to shining sea

and across the fruited plane, but one of them is this. You do not perform CPR on someone. with a heartbeat and a pulse. You only do CPR when someone has neither and ain't breathing. They performed CPR on Moscow Mitch. You don't do that for someone who is briefly unconscious. And K, who, if I recall correctly, is or was one of, Moscow Mitch's constituents said earlier, just call the fucking special election.

Even Maga knows the turtle isn't going to magically come out of his shell and back into the Senate, and many of them have said as much. Bashir just needs to call the special election. Massey will probably win, and as awful as he is, at least he's not dead, and actually wants to hold most of the Epstein class accountable and get justice for the girls who were raped. that's better than the turtle ever could do yeah but k they took that away from him the legislature took Bashir's ability to appoint a successor away from him so yeah call needs that's why she says Bashir just needs to call the special election well this was geared to buy more time to keep him from being able to do that.

But you know what? I realize we're dealing with politics here. But, well, consider this. They may be of different political parties. But Bashir is the governor of the state of Commonwealth, excuse me, of Kentucky. And he has every right in the world. Democrat, Republican, anarcho-sendicalist, communist. fascist, what have you, he has the right to speak to Moscow Mitch in person and provide proof of life.

Because this statement is not proof of life. This is proof of communications center. Com shop. And I don't know how they do things down in Frankfurt. But you kind of wish that the governor would say, I don't want to see him for more than five more than three minutes more than two but on behalf of the people of the Commonwealth of Kentucky I do insist upon meeting with him if he's capable of putting out a photograph of him sitting up in bed and grinning like a fox eating shit out of a wire brush then he's strong enough to speak with the governor of the Commonwealth make it so number one yeah that's another one and that's rapidly where we find ourselves now, Balmer Bob saying, weekend at Mitch's title courtesy of

Stephanie Miller. Yeah, the joke sort of writes, they write themselves in this instance. And I don't know how many people are buying this. And I don't want to hear any bullshit about, well, he has a right to his privacy. No, he really does not. If he wanted to be a private citizen, there is a very easy way to do that. And it's called resigning from the Senate. Yeah, Micah suggests that the Commonwealth, legislature taking the power away from the governor is unconstitutional, but it hasn't been legislated in court yet. But yeah, the state constitution outlines how the replacement is named. That's the Commonwealth Constitution. They get a mite, they get a mite finicky about that down there in Kentucky.

Oh, the sun shines bright on my, Kentucky, oh, dear. There I was hoping we'd get down to $2,700 this evening. But we are at the halfway point of the program, and we have covered Moscow Mitch, and we have covered Miss Lindsay. So let's run over and check in on the stress line and see who we've got. Welcome to the program. Okay, I've got you on the right channel. You're not muted.

Just a second. Might be on my end. That's okay. Are you there? Bagnavitt. I guess you're probably screaming into the phone at this point. Try something else. Oh, that's solid too.

I guess we're going to have blips like this when I come back here and start using this equipment again. And no, it has nothing to do with, well, it may have something to do with Microsoft. 11, but it's how Microsoft 11 handles audio, because for some reason or another, going all the way back to Windows XP, audio handling has been the bane of my existence. Everything is solid. Stay by a sec. Checking one last thing, it might have something to do with this.

Okay, I don't know what to do. If you can hear me, whoever is on the stress line, I'm going to hang up. And please feel free to turn back around and call right back. And we'll see if we can get you on air. There's for some reason or not. Okay, wait a minute. That's not muted.

No. Okay. I got you. Can you hear me? Dave. Well, hi. Right about the time, Ms. Lindsay, was reporting in to the bleeding inquire eternal. I was enjoying some fireworks in Muncie.

Really? Hello? Yes. Yes, ma'am. Christine and I went up. Bob had to delay the show by a week. Nobody else showed up, but a friend of his, his friend's son and Bob, and all the neighbors got the show around the road out there

on the county road but yeah it was not a bad little show I especially like the fireworks that had the little bits of violet blue and those were kind of pretty I can imagine

yeah that's about the time they say that this Lindsay was talking to Donald about the trip to chief and of course Donald being Donald can't leave well enough alone and had to advocate for the Slave America Act. Naturally. I just, oh, I mean, why couldn't it have been Donnie?

That's my question. Well, that's the thing. I woke up Sunday morning and the first thing that ran through my mind was Maxwell Smart. Missed him by that much. You missed him by that much. Yeah. Roxanne, you and I have to sit death down. Have a talk.

You realize. We have to have a nice long talk with death. Maybe we can get the goddess of irony in on the conversation. I mean, I'm just thinking we might need to sit that boy down. down and just say, hey, look, we know you've been at this a while, but you really need to work on your aim there, dude. You know? Well, it sounds like he might not be in the greatest frame of mind, in which case I don't want to be anywhere near him, and hence I won't be sitting him down and talking to him because he might be off his meds in a big way. Oh, that's true too.

that's true see that's why i'm asking the goddess of irony to show alongside that way if he does go off half baked then uh somebody interesting gets off you know i'm just thinking yeah and and where where moscow mitch is concerned um i'm surprised that there has not been someone just poke a phone around the corner and go click of him laying there in the bed covered in hoses and tubes and things that go ping well have you ever noticed that a certain individual from your former filthy morning habit explain to America how a a congressional member's day is divided up in 20-minute blocks. Yeah.

And everybody in her uncle who talked to Mitch did so for 20 minutes. But not one of them can prove they actually talked. No, no, no. And frankly, at this point in time, Scott Jennings should be fired from CNN, even though they've already offered a disclaimer. or that he's not a real live honest-to-goodness reporter and employee of CNN. He needs to be set adrift. You okay, Dave?

Well, yeah, I got the hiccups. I hate that. That's the sole reason. That's the sole reason I keep a bottom. I haven't been drinking any of Granny's room, and too, from medicine. No, no, it ain't necessarily. Damn it? Yeah, but just from the remedies department,

that's the sole reason that I keep a bottle of bitters around here. A wedge of lemon with three or four drops of bitters on it. You don't breathe. You suck the lemon with the aromatic bitters. You swallow. Hickups go away. Oh. Well, there it is.

No. I have some news from Christine. Yes. she is attempting to talk to her doctors at the VA about getting one or both of her knees replaced her what happened on the 4th of July really scared the shit out of both of us yes

and and Bob told her he thought she ought to get her knees replaced she said when he had it done, all the pain went away. He was able to stand on his own, you know. And Christine is 68 years old, far younger than, let's say, Senator McConnell. And she thought Ms. Lindsay was 81.

I'm like, no, no, Ms. Lindsay was definitely. 71 and that kind of surprise. But I'm in better shape than either Mitch or Lindsey, so I'm feeling pretty damn good right now. I should think so. I saw that

clip on Facebook where they were singing about him dying and I thought it was classy it wasn't over it wasn't too far over the top

but it was funny and oh I saw it on YouTube and I thought oh this is just AI slop and I went and I go up and sure enough

he had died and I was like, holy shit. Of course, you know with that conversation between him and his former boyfriend, John, would be. John looked over that, he has gotten an exemption from the pineapple parade because as the powers to be down there,

has indicated that Lady G might enjoy that just a little, a tad too much, and it would no longer be a punishment. So we're going to have to find something else for him to do. Any ideas? No, no, no. Look, girl, I already ate dinner. I don't want to, I don't want to, I don't want to hurl up. this early.

But no, but I do have a feeling it will have something to do with standing on his head and well, not to put too fine a point on it,

Roxanne, but if he was in a room full of sis-girls for the rest of eternity, he might be going to go and going crazy. crazy. That would be hell for Lindsay.

So I'm thinking, you know, they put him in a room full of cis girls and just lock him in and until he atones all the shitty crap he's done in his life, he doesn't leave the room. Oh, hold on. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. I think we're going to have to workshop this a little bit, Dave. It's not just that he's in a room full of cis girls. It needs to be, oh, I don't know, a few bigillion cis girls, and they all have to be deeply attracted to him sexually.

Oh, dear God. Is that the budget cuts I've been hearing about? I've been hearing about a lot of those budget cuts. they take these god-awful women and they make them attracted to their like closeted gay men who are really shitty to other people I mean you know think of them

let's see and I think I think it's a budget cutting thing down there well I mean you got your you got your theodosia of Byzantium you got your Jezebel you got your Potifar's wife

from back in ancient Egypt who had the hots for young gay Joseph I mean there's a lot of opportunities here Montahari Catherine the Great of Russia I didn't say anything about horses Well no she just be horse in run

With him God die this is why I love you She'd just be horsing around. But the possibilities are endless in there. And all of them are just a crawling all over Lindsay saying, oh, you are so hot. It is hell after all. Oh, you're so butch and so masculine. Tell me again about all the Iranian children you wanted to slaughter and how macho it made me.

Oh, golly, Moses. Oh, I'm all excited, Lindsay. Do me. Take me. I'm yours. Can you imagine the screaming as he tried to run away from her? Oh, good boy, I can. It makes me almost feel sorry for him. Almost. Yeah, you never quite, you never quite get all the way there. Well. And that's, that was, and it'd be in hell, that's probably part of the hell for the women that are down there. Right. That's why I'm saying. The budget cutting that goes on. I mean, they get multiple punishments out of

one situation. She wants him in the worst way and he wants to get away from her in the worst way. And neither one of them is going to be satisfied. Tadda. And since he's a fiscal, conservative Republican, Roxanne. That will just make Lady G just get all butch on it, you know.

So, yeah, I could see that. I could see that. But you do know that you have serving Ms. Porter by bringing up a certain and what would you call him, a human burrito. Yes. In Jesse Lee? Yes, ma'am.

You know that just bringing him into the conversation. Well, you know, I mean, when it comes, when it comes to Lindsay, honestly, it might be hell. It might be hell for him just to ask him to be a top. No. Because you got to remember that Jesse James Rose said he paid her extraordinary amounts of money when she was a pre-twinky, her words, pre-transitioned sex worker, extraordinary amounts of money to do unthinkable things to Lindsay while he was dressed in red lingerie.

and I have a feeling she's only I have a feeling she's only going to be the tip of the iceberg although just the tip was not what Lindsay wanted no no I do believe he wished to be shafed on more than one occasion but no I'm just thinking what would have happened had it not been Lindsay

and it had been an orange thing at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. You know what would be going on right now. I guarantee you one or both of his daughters would be going, yep, Dad did everything you say, think he did, and more. The book's on sale next week.

Oh, yeah. Atlas. Oh, I've got a couple of notes here to share. Balmer Bob wrote back in and said Weekend at Mitch's odds are we won't get a clear explanation on the status of Mitch until August the 4th. August the 3rd is the

critical statutory deadline for a special election in Kentucky to fill a U.S. Senate vacancy. If a vacancy occurs after this date, the Senate seat would sit empty until January, which has fueled intense political speculation amid Senator Mitch McConnell's ongoing recovery.

Because, you know, there aren't any rules about senators actually have having to show up to work and then and there's a certain amount of expertise involved here got a note from Theo Mitch's brief unconsciousness hey Robin and hooey to Mitch's rationales which I suspect were concocted by a PR shield or seven or eight I've performed CPR and had it performed on me Mitch if he's alive suffered trauma to his sternum and upper rib cage if they've whipped up on him for medicinal purposes. More than that, elderly prior polio victims developed post-polio syndrome, which weakens the muscles

and nervous systems in numerous ways. Dr. Arthur C. Clark, the famous author 2001, et cetera, developed it in his last few years, and it was managed with good care and personal assistance. I don't think there's anybody home at this point in Mitch's carcass, which may presently be repurposed as his cadaver. I privately find that a heart-warning thought, evil chuckle. Well, Christine, when she had her stroke, Roxanne, they worked on her for 11 minutes, and she only knows that because she got to talk to the EMTs who did it afterward.

So, yeah, I think Governor Bashir has the right of it. I want to speak to Senator McConnell. I think that should be of. right. Right. And by the way, he can take an aircraft to D.C., which is where I think Mitch is currently convalescing at the Commonwealth's expense because it's part of his duties as governor of the Commonwealth of Kentucky. And in honor of this pause in governance, down there. I suggest that the

Indiana State Legislature asked the federal government to stop building the wall along the Ohio River will just turn off the light. We don't need to Indiana and Kentucky

are a little strange. I mean, in the last few years, they've had a bridge drop into the middle of the Ohio River. You know, that river that doesn't actually belong to Ohio? Well, I think it's, I think it's anybody's, uh, the fight after it gets past the territorial boundaries of West Virginia, but yes.

But, uh, no, we have a history of bridges dropping into the middle of the Ohio River. And, uh, each side being Republicans, blames the other. Well, isn't the most classic example of a bridge dropping into the Ohio River? Isn't that the silver bridge? I don't know what the name of the bridge. Well, the mid to late 1960s, only it crossed from West Virginia into Ohio. And it just dropped, just pancaked into the river, killed the number of people. But, and I know you're familiar with the critter, it also spawned the legend of Mothman.

Oh. Yeah. Well. That was the first, I think that was the first sighting of Mothman. Mothman presages disasters in West Virginia. Okay. Um, you know, about, I don't know, in the last 10 years. they've actually had a bridge drop

right into the middle of the Ohio River. And both sides were. Because the bridge maintenance was a joint commission, each side was blaming the other one for the collapse in typical Republican fashion. So there it is. Anyway, Roxanne, I'm going to let you go because I'm, my stomach starts to give a grief.

Oh, no, I'm sorry, Dave. I didn't, I didn't, I did not mean to nauseate you with this conversation. No, no, I've been having this problem for a week. But I'll let somebody else get in. Okay, one thing, one thing real, one thing real quick, David, and I'll let you go. Just please stay away from all fresh produce for a while. Oh, I'm not touching anything like that. You know about the Cryptosporiasis, right?

Yes. I've experienced it. Oh, Jesus. No. So I will talk to you later. Okay, you take care of yourself. Give our best to Christine. I will.

And Tracy, if you're listening, honey, I did not summon you. that is all Roxanne's doing. All right. Take care, girl. I'll take the blame. Take care, Dave. Bye. Everybody, Dave, calling from the blind.

You know, earlier, I said with regard to Lady G. But I wondered if there was a connection to the trip to Kiv. And I talked about pressure changes and all of that sort of thing. Well, a former case officer for the CIA has opined something similar but different. I wondered if the, I wondered if Pouty's boys had gotten to him. It may not be the case. But Larry C. Johnson, who writes,

son of the new American Revolution at Substack had a different take. Now, he was identified in another article as Charles Johnson. I don't know. Larry Charles Johnson. I don't know. I don't know. But this is fascinating. It may have been Poutis people. I know the conspiracy theories are going to pop up like mushrooms after a warm spring rain with something like this, but it's worth considering. He wrote, let's follow the timeline. According to the official story, 911 call from his D.C. residence at 8.30 p.m.

Eastern daylight time on July 11th for suspected cardiac arrest. He died at home. This is total bullshit, he writes. So let's go through the timeline. I got to admit this is some compelling compelling stuff Lindsay departed Dulles International Airport at around 0,700

local on July the 9th the flight from Dulles to Warsaw is nine hours I'd seen earlier that it was 14 he took the overnight train that departed Warsaw at

1815 hours local on July 9th and arrived in Kiev between 945 to 1045 local time on July the 10th. So Lindsay Graham arrives in Kiev by 11 a.m. Friday morning. He meets with Zelensky and tours a drone factory. Then we are asked to believe that he returns to Washington, D.C. after spending less than 24 hours on the ground. Again, I call bullshit. The earliest train back to Warsaw departs Kiev Pajoriski at 0740 to 0800 on the 11th and arrives permissible glauny in the afternoon, 1700 to 1,800 hours.

That is at least nine hours. That would make it roughly 1,100 hours in Washington, D.C. Let's assume he has an hour to get to the airport and the plane takes off at 1,900 hours local from Poland, which is 1,200 hours in Washington. Seven-hour difference. The flight going west takes 10 hours. This means the earliest the plane could have landed at Dulles is 2,200 hours on the 11th. That is two and a half hours after Graham reportedly done. died at home. I emphasize that the normal travel to Kiev by members of Congress, members of NATO,

and the EU, and even Joe Biden, is to take a plane to Poland and then hop a train to Kiev. It is normally at least a 20-hour trip. In order for Senator Graham to have arrived at home by 2,000 hours local in Washington, D.C., he would have had to have departed Keeve at 0700-700 hours local Ukraine. I've been unable to find any schedule that shows a train departing Keeve at that hour. And so the conclusion drawn is that he died in Kiev, not his home in D.C. Who knows? As everyone knows, Kiev is a very dangerous place to be.

Add into this the reality on the ground that we have CIA station chiefs in Poland, Krakow, probably also Warsaw. And we certainly have a CIA group in Kiev. I don't think we're that incompetent yet that we wouldn't. And it is, after all, Kiev, Ukraine. That means that it is more than likely that his progress from the minute he, at the very least, arrived at Dulles entirely through his trip, was watched, if not in person by someone on the plane and on the train, then certainly by eyes in the sky. And if what Mr. Johnson says is true, then, well, just as was the case with the Chewbacca defense, it don't make sense. It don't make no sense.

The earliest the plane could have landed. Okay, back up. Let's assume he has an hour to get to the airport, and the plane takes off at 1900 hours local from Poland. The flight going west takes 10 hours. Okay, so that's 7 p.m. Crackow, which is... noon, D.C. He says it takes 10 hours. Well, the conclusion he draws is this means the earliest the plane could have landed at Dulles is midnight on the 11th, three and a half hours after Graham reportedly died at home. Now, do we want to do the thing where we shave with Occam's razor? There's all matter of, if we thought the Mitch McConnell business is weird, there's all manner of weirdness. So, surrounding Ms. Lindsay's demise.

Enter Trash Patel, who got in on the act. He went to X and posted an excrement saying, the FBI's assisting local authorities. Really? What's the FBI got to do with it? Aaron Parnas said, is the FBI investigating Lindsey Graham's death now? This seems reckless from Cash Patel. And Patel's own post was followed with comments from wild-eyed maggots.

saying, is anyone checking to see if Senator Graham was poisoned by Russia? And then it gets weirder. The announcement of his death was no sooner made. Then the maggots came out from the baseboards like cockroaches in the dark in the kitchen. The statement was it came out. It was at 2 a.m. On the evening of Saturday, July 11th, U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham passed away from a brief and sudden illness. You see something like that, and you know, Novichok, that's brief, and it'll make you suddenly ill and dead.

A little polonium pellet. And then the story came out that he had actually been called later Saturday night at George Washington University Hospital after chest pains. One libertarian Clint Russell said, get your tinfoil ready and went on to say that russia likely had a hand in in it russell said i'd say there's a decent chance that russia blew up lindsay graham is not just the most psychotic booster of ukraine but he was also the biggest booster for arming ukraine a decade ago and likely the midon revolution which really forced russia to invade yeah russia was forced to invade god these chuds This could be the warning shot to the political class

But while Russia doesn't want World War III They'll extract a cost on the politicians themselves Who are pushing for this endless war It's now being reported he died of a heart attack Sure, maybe IDK Laura Looney got in on the act Because of course she did She said

There seriously needs to be an investigation Russia just sent a delegation To Kamani's funeral in Tehran where the IRGC and funeral organizers was calling for myself, President Trump, and Senator Graham to be assassinated. Oh, my God, she's such, oh, she's such an attention whore. Really? The Iranians are mad at her. As mad at her as they were at, are at Nitwit Niro, as mad at her and Lindsay as they are at Nittwit Niro. Lindsey Graham was in Ukraine one day ago calling for a Russian sanctions bill that he claimed the White House supports.

Now he's suddenly dead from a random illness according to his staff. Did Russia just murder a U.S. senator? Then another maggot got in on it and took the ball and started around the end with it. If Iran was behind Lindsey Graham's sudden death, but we should respond anyway. President Trump should launch Operation Lindsey Graham. It's what he would have wanted. Operation Lindsey Graham? What, are we going to send

twink-twinky sex workers to Iran to do unspeakable things to Mullah's outfitted in red lingerie and don't think they don't exist? And here's what passes for the voice of reason among the maggots. Jesus. Matt Forney a podcaster He said,

I'm not going to go full conspiracy theorist yet But this was two days ago Lindsay Graham looks pretty spry for a 71 year old He certainly doesn't look sick or frail Did Russia or Iran assassinate Graham I don't think we can rule it out Dumb You know it's a frustrating

part of living in this timeline that you just don't know what's true anymore. And were he around, I think our dear friend Scott would say, well, it all started with Kennedy, Robin. And it kind of did. But Kennedy was one thing, one event. We've entered a world where everything is subject to question, and it's not good for one's mental health. it leads you to a place where you ask questions like, is water wet? I'm presently in Parkersburg.

I haven't talked a lot about it, but there was a fire here a few weeks ago. A big one. A warehouse caught fire. Just like a warehouse here caught fire nine years ago. Back then, nine years ago, the maggot legislature said, well, we've got to do something about this. We've got to create, we've got to stop this sort of thing. happening, harumph, harumph, harumph, harumph. And then over the course of nine long years, they have done, and this is a complex political term, not dick, to prevent warehouse fires.

We don't even have a law in this state that says that businesses that own warehouses or people who own warehouses have to say what's being warehoused in them. And so a few weeks ago, it caught fire. Huge plumes of black. smoke into the air at a warehouse that was storing packaging and the very same day the responding fire department said that's okay we put the fire out and by Sunday morning there were big huge plumes of black smoke blow a billowing back into the sky because it reignited and they continue to work for days to extinguish the blaze and then said all right

I mean, they were pumping water out of the Little Canal River. It was so bad. And, of course, they had no idea what was really inside, so they didn't know if pumping water onto the fire was necessarily a good idea. You know, you don't, for instance, throw water on a grease fire in a kitchen. That's why professional kitchens have those fire suppressant hoods. It dumps. a bunch of chemicals on that ain't water.

And then a couple of days ago, oopsie, the fire started again. Of course, all of it, courtesy of your local maggot legislature. God damn, if Democrats are in charge of this state, the maggots would be howling from the rooftops. But the bottom line is that, the air around here is probably not real great to breathe and i mention that because i wonder what the air is like in keith and he toured a drone factory and you can't help but wonder if maybe mother russia probably knew the location of that drone factory and you know they don't get russia doesn't care if they're bombing civilian apartments or drone factories or train stations or what have you

It's weird on this timeline. And I think we cling to our sanity by doing so together and sorting out what's real and what's not. Joy in Ann Arbor noted earlier, it's scary to live in a time when no news can be trusted, no photo, no video. The photo released by McConnell's office was run through Grok and rejected as being old. then word came that his office released no photo at all I tend to believe that it's an old photo because of the pneumonia glow up as he's normally blurb... Such a great word, joy.

I tend to believe that it's an old photo because of the pneumonia glow up as he's normally blurple-colored. Regardless, I think the only thing that might convince me at this point is a live conversation. And just a few moments ago, she sent me a social media post from someone called Julius Goat. I'm going to need to see the long form proof of life. And at this point in time, the only way we have of getting the long form proof of life before August 3rd is the governor of the Commonwealth of Kentucky.

And meanwhile, Ms. Haley out in Arkansas, noting, well, I guess this means Tom Cotton is now the biggest closet case in the U.S. Senate. Oh, now. I think biggest closet case is a, well, that's an esoteric call, Haley. Because first we have to narrow down the universe of maggot closet cases. I mean, you share a common border with Missouri stand. Does Josh Hawley for all of his barking and grunting and hooting about his masculinity, does he really just suffuse you with the power of his straightness? I mean, hell, DHS secretary, not in the Senate anymore.

I have a feeling that, by the way, that DHS secretary, Mark Wayne Mullen, whose goons murdered another individual today up in Maine. That's another part about this stupid fucked up timeline, is that ICE goons murdering someone in Maine is somehow not the lead story. And, you know, there's only one person responsible for that. And that's shame on me. But I saw some, I had some notes and I saw some things and be doing, you know, I can't wait to see what Roxanne has to say about Lindsay Graham. You know what?

In the end, it's a rough day for this program because we won't have Miss Lindsay to kick around anymore. Now we got to go and find another, as Haley alludes to, we got to go and find another maggot closet case. Yeah. Isn't it funny how quiet the maggots are being? while at the same time that they've been attacking James Tala Rico as a big old sissy, simply because he doesn't want to shit on marginalized communities. Oh, and my God, wait a, hold on. Hold on, Haley. You and I both can't see the forest for the trees. How dare us?

We know who the biggest closet case in the Republican carcass in the United States Senate is. we damn sure do. How did we overlook this? And him coming from Miss Lindsay's own South Carolina stand. Tim Scott? Of the magical disappearing girlfriend? Tim Scott? Confirmed bachelor?

Yeah. And by the way, Balmour Bob said on Graham's demise, those of us worried about foul play by Russia have to await the toxicology report now being conducted on Graham's autopsy. If the results are negative, that will only spur cries of cover-up. Well, that's the nature of conspiracy theories, Bob. You're absolutely right. What Johnson in his substack was alluding to was that he got killed in Ukraine and they just shipped the body back.

the CIA could probably access an aircraft that could get the job done without relying on public transportation, maybe even out of Ukraine, straight shot. And don't think for a minute that Mother Russia doesn't know when an American aircraft leaves Ukraine and who's operating it. That would make the timeline work a little better, wouldn't it? and I don't, you know, I don't necessarily know that being blown up is going to show up in his blood work. As to Tim Scott confirmed Bachelor, I want to see the confirmation document. Lee, that would be his grinder profile.

And I'm guessing that the grinder servers in D.C. today are, breathed in black bunting. There's a lot of, well, probably no small number of sex workers who have just lost an income revenue stream. Clarence, hey Clarence, coming out, I'm still waiting for that Tim Scott press conference in Columbia, South Carolina. Yes. Yeah, see, there we are. Clarence is a constituent of Tim Scots and formerly Lindsay Graham's and, Yeah, that would be a press conference for the ages.

Now, you know, what would be an even bigger surprise would be a wedding announcement, now wouldn't it? Hope you're okay out there, Clarence. Good to hear from you. And from the Camel Cardinal, Brother Deacon Asa says, word has it that the younger Chameenie has been in the closet from jump. Yeah, we talked about that. a few months ago, right, that it's an open secret among the ruling elite of Iran and that it was some, it gave some some pause toward making Muktau Khamenei, the heir, because apparently he is, I think he's gay. So who knows? There may be some red lingerie involved after all.

And then this, there's so much out there. But this. Do you remember the name Jack Berkman and Jacob Wohl? A couple of grifters who used to try to do frame jobs in which they would try to make sexual, concoct sexual allegations or allegations of sexual impropriety against their enemies. I remember covering them on this program. Eventually, Berkman entered a guilty plea to a felony related to his bullshit efforts. August 2020, for instance.

Berkman and Wohl made tens of thousands of robocalls to people who lived in so-called battleground states and it was directed at communities of color to try to suppress the vote. But they've got a long list of dirty business.

Birkman was deeply involved in a conspiracy theory about the death of Seth Rich. All of course always ties in with Hillary et al. In October 18, they went after Robert Mueller, 2020. They went after Pete Buttigieg.

I wouldn't be surprised if they were the ones who swatted him more recently. They've tried, they've scammed and slimed Dr. Fauci. And it's always, it's always a grift. And they never stop. They never give up. And their latest Dodge, has involved them selling pardons. No, really?

They ran a scam called Lobbymatic. They said they'd use artificial intelligence for lobbying. They used false names, false identities. They were Jay Klein. That was Jacob Wohl. And Berkman was Bill Sanders. At one point, Berkman said, Oh, I've taken over Mark Robinson's campaign leadership.

I mean, I'm his manager. And Mark Robinson, remember, naked Africa? Yeah, that kinky-closited goon. They said, oh, no, they, oh, no, he didn't. But, yeah, they've gone into the selling presidential pardons business. They signed on as a client, a man named Joseph Schwartz. He ran a string of nursing homes and got nailed for tax evasion. He paid Berkman $960,000 to get him a pardon from nitwit Niro.

The White House meantime said, who? We've never heard of the guy. Then, Schwarz, hired another lobbying firm and got his pardon after all. Well, now comes a man named Torrance Hatch. Torrance Hatch is a rapper. I don't know how famous he is. He raps under the stage name Boozy Badaz. Boose Badaz B-O-O-S-I-E, B-A-Z-Z.

And he paid 600 large to Jack Birkman to get him a pardon from nitwit Nero over a gun charge. And he's now in arbitration. Oh, my God, why would you accept arbitration? Sue these guys. Well, yeah, he's trying to get 300,000 back from Wolan-Berkman. They ran as J.M. Birkman and associates. They even had a contract. Wohl and Birkman meanwhile said, well, we can't give your money back. We're bankrupt. It was last September when Boosey Badaz signed up for his pardon, noting, oh, they were real aggressive. They were talking like they had Trump on speed dial. Back on New Year's Eve, uh, Birkman texts. boosted, boosey badass that Niro had it in his hand. He's got it in his hand and he's ready to sign.

New Year's Day, his criminal defense lawyer, Megan Blanco, said they told her that, well, he's already signed the pardon and it only needs to be announced. Then, according to Blanco, speaking to notice, NOTUS, well, she said, that speaking to the White House, she found out days later that Birkman and Wool hadn't even submitted a pardon application for Boosie badass. Jesus Christ. I mean, isn't this a caveat imp-tore kind of thing? It's a scam on top of a scam. What it boiled down to, I think, is they probably got scammed out of the money themselves by the White House, or well, nitwit, Nero's, a petty little gang of, you know,

cut purses and highwaymen and footpads, et cetera. And Birkman and Wohl in emails to this Blanco, he said, saying, oh, well, yeah, Laura Lumer, Laura Lumer, Laura Lumer, saying that, you know, oh, she's got all the influence. She's got the juice. Whoa, this pathetic little Neo Maxi zoomed weepy, said, oh, we got endorsements from Erica Kirk and Mike Cernovich and Mike Johnson. Well, Erica Kirk's spokes creep said, I have no idea who Boosie badass is. Mullah Moses, Mike Johnson's office said, we never did any such thing.

And Mike Cernivich said, well, I never advocated for him to have a pardon. which is wild because these are gun charges. So, you know, that's a poor put upon soul who's having the government weaponized against him because he was exercising some form of his precious God-given Second Amendment rights. Speaking to a White House source, notice said that the clemency team has never heard from Woler-Berkman and that frankly having Wolan-Birkman involved is not the best thing in the world to do

if you actually want a pardon and of course at the center at all is nitwit Niro who frankly is surprising that he isn't auctioning off chunks of the plaster or I'm surprised he didn't hang on to pieces of the ballroom to auction off

or give away as gifts in exchange for a gift for the ballroom. You know, like pieces of the Berlin Wall. You'll see them here and there still. What else? Oh, oh, look.

It's hard-hitting CNN investigative journalist Jake Tapper last seen in enjoying the fruits of his ill-gotten gain on a book of filth about Joe Biden. And by the way, Joe Biden and Jill put out a statement saying,

we are deeply sadden to hear of the passing of Lindsey Graham. And some maggot replied, Did your press office write this for you? Well, probably, because that's what a press office does. You say, hey, could you come up with a statement about our condolences and the press offices? Sure, boss. And they come back and he says, does this look okay?

Is this look nice? you know compassionate Joe looks at it says yeah good enough looks good if it had if it had gone out in printed form they'd swear the auto pen signed it but no nitwit Niro got on the telephone with Jake Tapper and the fawning was nothing if not utterly repulsive he called in to State of the Union why would you take his call? Going all the way back to Morning Joe, why do you take the call?

Why are you giving out free publicity? Well, he's a president of the United States. He's out of his goddamn mind. And Jake Tapper tried to ask him questions. Nitwit Nero deflected them handily. And Tapper was like, okay. People are using words like enabler to describe Jake Tapper now if they weren't already.

Sicafant has also been used. And the purpose of the call, why do you take the call? The purpose of the call was actually to talk about Miss Lindsay. Oopsie. It went a little something like this after the ad, of course. And this is, by the way, courtesy of the Daily Beast. Well, I know you don't want to talk about any other issues. out of respect for Lindsay Graham, but we would love to have you back sometime because I do have

a lot of other questions for you, sir. Sure. We'll do that. We'll do that. Thank you for calling in. I'm trying to have CNN go in a normal path, and we'll do that. Well, I'm on a normal path right here, sir, and I appreciate your time, and thank you for calling in. Okay, thanks a lot. Thanks so much. We'll be right back after this quick break. God. Well, I'm on a normal path, sir. Okay, zip up. You're good now. Just leave you. the money on the dresser. He actually had the nerve, well, whatever. But Nittero alluded directly to the fact that he's trying to facilitate Nepo Baby David

Ellison's purchase of CNN's parent company so as to try to make sure there's nothing but happy things ever said about Orange Julius Gieser. Yeah, Steve in New York. Jake Tapper, Trump's biotch, isn't he just? And I mentioned another murder by the ice goons up in Maine. Even if she was probably pinning a strongly worded letter, protesters headed right over to Susan Collins' office to share their thoughts with her.

The Portland Free Press Herald reporting earlier today. Protesters descended on Senator Susan Collins's Biddeford office Monday following a deadly shooting that authorities said involved federal immigration agents. Dozens of people crowded the entryway of the Main Street office Monday afternoon shouting, vote her out on the street, others carried signs reading no ice and melt ice. The goons gunned down a 26-year-old man from Columbia in Biddleford. Of course, when it came time, there was Sisson Commons pressing the yes button to give the ICE goons, well, DHS, a cool $70 billion for the CBP assholes and the ice goons. Rachel Ome wrote the story and said the protest outside Collins' office was part of a larger demonstration about the shooting.

around noon about two dozen protesters marched into Collins' office but were shooed out minutes later as police arrived and they unburdened themselves of their feelings about Senator Collins saying she bore partial responsibility for the murder. Oh and by the way the maggots immediately jumped after them. They were trying to run over our heroic ice dunes. she has piled up an impressive list of reasons to remove her from office. And now all the Maine Democratic Party has to do is select, and the Democrats of Maine in Convention Assembled have to do is select a Democrat who can beat her, which before Graham Platner quit his campaign, he was not.

But I don't want it to be all grim news. There's some interesting stuff out there too. Oh, and by the way, Nitwit Nero, Rage quit his own news conference after Caitlin Collins, who doesn't smile enough, asked him a hard question about his breach of the ceasefire. Apparently, he's announced an address to the nation. Oh, dear God.

He said he'll be doing an address. President Trump will be making his speech to the nation on Thursday evening at 9 p.m. Eastern. Thank you for your attention to this matter. No mention of what the topic is. Although Steve Bannon says that he's going to

smear Democrats as jihadists. and he's going to rely on intelligence that he recently declassified, probably with his mind. Apparently, Trash Patel, Mark Wayne Mullen, again, about the same height as Lindsay Graham, brushes with greatness, I guess. I've walked past Lindsay on a number of occasions down in the basement of the Russell Senate office building. I towered over him by over a foot. I try to behave like a lady now, so I won't say about where his head came to on me. But John Ratcliffe, the acting DNI, or CIA director, John Ratcliff, as well as acting DNI,

Bill Pulte, Trash Patel, Mark Wayne Mullen, will all be there supporting Nitwit Nero. and apparently it's going to be about the stolen 2020 election. This comes on the heels of, heels of massive skullduggery in regard to the Fulton County, Georgia vote. Ironic, given that no one seems to be mentioning Ms. Lindsay's role in trying to stiff arm the government of Georgia into finding Trump 11,780 votes. And so he's going to bark and grunt that 2020 was stolen from him. Even though, and I guess we've all forgotten it, even though he confessed himself that he lost in 2020.

That was testified to under oath during the J6 hearings. Remember? I know it seems so long ago. He also, NITWITNIRO did, has claimed that the United States will be the guardian

of the Hormuz Strait and we're going to let everybody use it except Iran and we're only going to charge a 20% Vig on it all. As a matter of fairness will be reimbursed 20%. So, you know,

that's piracy. He told Fox News TV Radio Rwanda earlier today we're going to keep the straight and we'll probably run it we'll become the guardian of the straight maybe we'll call it the guardian angel of the straight and we should be a reimburse for that well if it's going to be free for everybody to use and who's going to pay dumbass so there's that but i said i wanted to close with some good news and i do namely that todd blanche is inching ever closer to being a man without a law license And it's coming via Katie Fang's lawsuit. Her counsel filed a motion today, moving the court presided over by U.S. District Judge Emmett Sullivan, to hold Todd Blanchie in contempt and fining him $1,000 a day for refusing to comply with Judge Sullivan's order to release more of the evidence.

Epstein files. On Wednesday, Todd Blanchie is supposed to appear before Senate Judiciary, which, wasn't Miss Lindsay on Senate judiciary? So there going to be a man down on the maggot side? Yeah, he has a confirmation hearing on Wednesday. The motion filed today says the Attorney General refuses to review foreign language documents. He refuses to produce an explanation for his redactions, and he refuses to produce documents he concedes contain no victim information. for lawyers said this isn't how the law, any law, works. Because at this point in time, he's confessed judgment on the fact that he has refused to follow the Epstein Files Transparency Act. He is described and accused of being brazen in his duties to the court and says that his behavior fits a pattern of dishonesty, delay, and obfuscation, and asked him, asked the court for a thousand dollar a day fine until he complies.

in full. Well, that should make for some interesting questions come Wednesday. I wonder if he's checked the level of the Dow Jones so he can obfuscate and say, Have you seen how high the Tao is? Just like his predecessor, Jojo Blondie. So, well, one more thing. He's a total dweeb. You know who I'm talking about, of course. Hairless, Hydric, Hadrick, Stephen Miller. And in whatever passed for an attempt to speak well of Lady G, he fell flat on his face. He was, of course, live on Fox News TV Radio Rwanda.

The Chiron says, SCGov appoints Lindsay Graham's sister to serve as interim senator and then this. Unmute. Here we go. These relationships at times with the base and where there might have been disagreements even on the right when it comes to Lindsay Graham. And I'm sure I'm one of those that had some significant disagreements from time to time. And I didn't get to know him as a person. But this seems to be one of the biggest testaments.

Lindsay Graham dies at the age of 71, having spent over three decades in the Senate. His net worth, as reported today, was somewhere between... no he did not spend over three decades in the senate over three decades in the congress but not in the senate he entered the senate twenty four years ago that is not three decades not quite three decades i know i'm challenged as to ciphering but twenty four is less than thirty and i can count to three having formerly been a personal injury lawyer i can divide any number at all by three. I mean $600,000 and $2 million, roughly about 1.5, perhaps, and most of that in a home in D.C. and a home back in South Carolina.

When we talk about politicians that go to D.C. for whatever period of time and come out mysteriously more wealthy, and we could name the names. Lindsay Graham was a man who seemed to do this for service, for love of the game. For service, for love of the game. Well, he would have been richer if he hadn't been providing enough money to pay for college and give a living cushion to a pre-transition trans girl. But, well, I'm sure that was just pocket change.

For personal enrichment. And that's the right phrase to use, right, for love of the game. Look, you want senators, look, you don't want politicians who grubble and complain. Oh, my God, it's so hard, so many flights, and I don't get paid enough. I don't have enough free time, and I can't do this, and I can't do that, and I don't have this committee or that comment. You want senators who love being a senator who embrace what it means, who embrace the opportunity, who seek no personal enrichment.

And this is it important. Yeah, that's a real hoot, all right. You don't want somebody in government seeking personal enrichment, you know, unless it's my orange daddy. Yeah. And for the love of the game, I don't know about y'all, but I don't know about y'all, but I'm kind of offended by the idea that the literal life and existence of the Republic is a goddamn game to somebody like that little, that little skinhead Nazi. So that's the program, y'all. Thanks, everybody.

It's crazy. It's weird. Oh, by the way, in the immediate aftermath of the announcement of the death, and this, Lindsay. Someone online posted the following. Tell me it was the diarrhea lettuce. Tell me it was the diarrhea lettuce. What a world. What a world. What a world. And of course, if Jacob Wohl and Jack Berkman approach you saying, oh, we can get anybody apart and all it takes is $600,000 or $600,000 or $900,000 or $900,000, and we don't quibble. I'll avoid them like the con artist's plague that they are. Because they are. And always,

always, always, Gina and Wayne, it's all for you. Later.
