Lindsey Graham Changes His Tune on Syria — He Now Has More Confidence in Trump’s Plans

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) reportedly expressed more confidence in President Donald Trump’s plans for Syria after meeting with him for lunch on Sunday.

According to Fox News, Graham said that Trump “told me some things I didn’t know that make me feel a lot better about where we’re headed in Syria.”

Graham previously said that he would try to urge Trump to reconsider his decision to withdraw from Syria.

“I want to fight the war in the enemy’s backyard, not ours,” Graham said at the time.

He also tweeted that Trump’s decision was an “Obama-like mistake.”

As IJR Blue noted, Graham also vowed to tweet back at Trump whenever he said something about Syria.

“I’m not letting this go,” he said.

On Sunday night, however, Graham said he learned “a lot” after meeting with Trump:

Graham expressed confidence that Trump’s withdrawal plan would include permanently destroying ISIS, preventing Iran from gaining influence in the region and ensuring protection for Kurdish allies.

Watch his comments outside the White House below:

Graham told reporters that he still had “differences” with the president but indicated that Trump was earnestly trying to balance national security interests with withdrawing troops from Syria.

“I feel pretty good about where we’re headed,” he added.

Rosie O’Donnell Calls for Trump Assassination… REGRETS IT IMMEDIATELY!

Rosie O’Donnell and Donald Trump have been engaged in a bitter feud for over a decade. Rosie’s hatred for Trump has only escalated since he became president, but this week, she took things way too far when she called for him to be assassinated. It didn’t take long for Rosie to learn that she’d made a huge mistake… Mad World News reported that Rosie took to Twitter on Saturday to endorse a ridiculous new game called Push Trump Off A Cliff Again. The despicable game allows players to kill Trump by pushing him off a cliff. Push Trump Off A Cliff Again https://t.co/YguB3aG8EP — ROSIE (@Rosie) July 15, 2017 The virtual game instructs players to “Take out your frustrations with [the] President by pushing him off a virtual cliff, or into a virtual volcano.” An image of Trump screams things like “Bye!” and “I’m really rich!” as he tumbles to his death. Twitter users immediately fired back at Rosie and let her know that simulating the assassination of the president is never okay. Bett

WALSH: Yes, Ilhan Omar’s Alleged Adultery Matters. Here’s Why.

According to court documents, Rep. Ilhan Omar allegedly had an affair with a married DC consultant. The wife of Omar’s alleged lover made the claims in divorce filings, insisting that her marriage was ultimately destroyed by the tryst between the congresswoman and her husband. Previous reports claimed that Omar “dumped” her own husband earlier in the summer. Conventional modern wisdom would tell us that the only newsworthy and relevant aspect of this salacious story is the possible abuse of campaign funds, as reported by the Washington Examiner: Omar’s alleged paramour, Tim Mynett, has been a fundraising consultant for Omar’s 2018 and 2020 campaigns… …Of the $145,406 reported earnings by the E Street Group during the 2018 campaign cycle, $62,674 came from Omar’s campaign. Not counting payroll taxes and transfers to Minnesota’s Democratic Party, E Street Group was Omar’s second-largest vendor, according to FEC data. From Labor Day through the end of the year, E Street Group ate up mo

Newly Declassified FBI Materials Show Bureau Treated Clinton, Trump Campaigns Differently On Foreign Interference

FBI documents and communications that were recently declassified show the bureau treated foreign interference on Hillary Clinton’s campaign differently than it did with President Donald Trump’s campaign. Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Lindsey Graham (R-SC) released the documents on Sunday with a lengthy statement about the contents: There was a clear double standard by the Department of Justice and FBI when it came to the Trump and Clinton campaigns in 2016. These newly released documents indicate that a foreign government was trying to influence the Clinton campaign through a campaign associate and the FBI was seeking a FISA warrant. However, the Bureau, as it is supposed to do, required that Hillary Clinton be defensively briefed about the matter so she could engage in corrective action. When it came to the Trump campaign, there were four counterintelligence investigations opened against Trump campaign associates. Not one time was President Trump defensively briefed about th
