I am ordering all American Flags throughout the United States lowered to Half Mast until Saturday evening at 6 P.M.

GOD BLESS YOU LINDSEY!

Six U.S. soldiers who survived an Iranian drone strike in Kuwait say Army leaders ignored repeated warnings that the base was vulnerable and likely to be targeted.

They accuse senior commanders of pushing troops into an unsafe location without adequate drone defenses, leaving the building instead of helping after the strike, and mishandling medical evacuations afterward.

Six soldiers were killed and more than 30 injured.

An internal investigation reportedly does not assign blame or recommend punishment, leaving many survivors frustrated and worried the same mistakes could happen again.

U.S. Ambassador to NATO Matthew Whitaker:

What we saw in Türkiye and what my tours through Türkiye have shown me is that they are a very capable ally, that they are integrated with the West, that they again want to be a key ally, especially in that region.

They've been very helpful in other conflicts in that region, and I think we should lean into that relationship with Türkiye.

U.S. Ambassador to NATO Matthew Whitaker says he thinks Türkiye F-35 deal will happen if legal conditions are met.

Senator Lindsey Graham held one final phone call with President Trump before his death, discussing Ukraine, a Russia sanctions bill, and possible new U.S. strikes on Iran.

After the call, Graham told someone he wasn't feeling well but planned to seek medical attention after his scheduled Sunday TV appearance.

He reportedly joked, "I can't die now. I still need to do the Russia sanctions, get Iran sorted out and do Israeli-Saudi normalization."

He died several hours later.

Netanyahu on Lindsey Graham:

I said, "Lindsey, we can do with a smaller number." He said, "No, you can't."

He would outbid the Prime Minister of Israel.

He said, "I'm not getting a single vote in South Carolina for that because, you know, there are very few Jews in South Carolina, and the people, yes, they support Israel—my constituency—but I support Israel, and I think you need more, and I'm going to fight for this."

This is who Lindsey Graham was.
