Lindsey Graham's death has impacted me more than I ever thought a modern politician's could (except maybe Marco Rubio — my regular readers will understand). Seriously, though, as I wrote over the weekend, while I didn't always agree with him, I was a fan of Graham's and found him fascinating, entertaining, and to be a true patriot. His death has sat with me heavily over the last few days since I broke the news late Saturday night/early Sunday morning for our site. &nbsp;]]>Tue, 14 Jul 2026 17:26:00 -0400<![CDATA[Sarah Anderson]]><![CDATA[Donald Trump]]><![CDATA[Iran]]><![CDATA[Lindsey Graham]]><![CDATA[Tommy Tuberville]]><![CDATA[Ukraine]]>https://pjmedia.com/sarah-anderson/2026/07/14/were-learning-more-about-lindsey-grahams-last-moments-and-his-dedication-to-his-country-n4955035<![CDATA[Judges have taken control of school systems and prisons, but the national parks?

Back then, thanks to the Fairness Doctrine and its Equal Time rule, local radio stations had to give equal time to opposing political views, and so each evening, the station carried a three-hour call-in show that was hosted by a liberal. That was followed by a three-hour show hosted by a conservative.]]>Tue, 14 Jul 2026 13:53:00 -0400<![CDATA[Tim O'Brien]]><![CDATA[Bernie Sanders]]><![CDATA[Communism]]><![CDATA[Conservatism]]><![CDATA[Elizabeth Warren]]><![CDATA[Ilhan Omar]]><![CDATA[JB Pritzker]]><![CDATA[Nancy Pelosi]]>https://pjmedia.com/tim-o-brien/2026/07/14/hypocritical-american-commies-and-leftists-love-them-some-old-fashioned-capitalism-n4955023<![CDATA["We need to set the age at which they can, the children can, legally access social media," European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said this week, which translates into American (via bad Japanese translation) as "All your screen are belong to us."]]>Tue, 14 Jul 2026 13:30:00 -0400<![CDATA[Stephen Green]]><![CDATA[Big Tech]]><![CDATA[European Union]]><![CDATA[Parental Rights]]><![CDATA[TikTok]]>https://pjmedia.com/vodkapundit/2026/07/14/turns-out-big-brother-is-actually-a-matronly-euro-scold-n4955019<![CDATA[Former President Barack Obama appears to be enjoying his retirement.
