๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ โ€” Mark Lynch, candidate for South Carolina's Republican Party federal Senate primary, challenging Lindsey Graham:
Lindsey Graham has spent decades answering to the special interests, lobbyists, and donor networks that run Washington.

I wonโ€™t.

This campaign is not funded by political action committees or special interest groups. I donโ€™t owe AIPAC. I donโ€™t owe the establishment. I donโ€™t owe the political class.

I owe nothing to anyone but the people of South Carolina and the principles I refuse to compromise.

On June 9, send Washington a message: South Carolinaโ€™s Senate seat is not for sale.

๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ โ€” Physician to the President Sean Barbabella's memo on President Trump's health has been released, and it appears to give favorable results on everything. Notably, the listed height and weight puts Trump's BMI score at 29.7, which is 0.3 below obese. Also, the memo claims that Trump's cardiac age is 14 years younger than Trump's chronological age, citing an "AI-enhanced electrocardigram analysis" without naming a specific machine or software.

๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ โ€” A person on the flight reports that this was a Russian speaker. He had previously gotten into a confrontation with the flight crew after he was told to sit down after standing up as the plane was taxiing, then reached for a flight attendant at the front of the plane and tried to breach the cockpit as the plane was airborne.

Person on the flight reports that a source at the Dare County Regional Airport in Madison told them they are treating this as an attempted hijacking, and the FBI is on the way. In my opinion, this is likely precautionary.

Truax Field Air National Guard Base in Madison had also readied runways for F-35A "Lightning II" stealth fighter jets in service with the Wisconsin Air National Guard's 115th Fighter Wing.

โ—๏ธ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ - President Trump announces the second crew member of the downed F-15 is "now SAFE and SOUND". The President also revealed the operations were pulled off without "a SINGLE American killed, or even wounded". @GeoPWatch
๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿค๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ณโŒ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ - Initial investigation into the F-15 downed by Iran points toward Chinese supplied Manpads as the suspect, sources told NBC.

It is also suspected that China supplied Iran with long range early warning radar to track stealth jets, resulting in the interception of a F-35.

It is unclear when such weapons, if any, were delivered to Iran. Chinese officials denied any arms export to Iran.
