▶️ NEW: Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who is wanted by the International Criminal Court for war crimes, invited U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham to Jerusalem this weekend to deliver an unambiguous case for military escalation across Gaza, Iran, and Lebanon — pressing maximalist Israeli positions that cut directly against President Trump’s efforts to secure peace and stabilize the region. The remarks come as Trump weighs competing paths ahead of a planned December 29 meeting with Netanyahu. Turkey’s foreign minister Hakan Fidan has warned of a “huge risk” that Trump’s Gaza peace could collapse without a “substantial” intervention with Netanyahu. But, after meetings with Israel’s prime minister, foreign minister, and defense minister, as well as senior IDF and Israeli intelligence officials and U.S. military leaders, Graham told reporters the following: ⸻ 🔴 On Gaza and Hamas “disarmament” “Hamas is not disarming. They’re rearming. They’re not interested in giving up power. They’re consolidating power.” “Phase two is an aspiration that cannot be achieved, in my view.” “Ninety days after the ceasefire, Hamas is stronger, not weaker.” “You cannot have a good outcome in Gaza with Hamas still armed. I don’t believe you can develop a part of Gaza if Hamas controls the other part.” “We need a plan quickly. Put Hamas on a time clock to disarm. If they don’t disarm, I would encourage President Trump to unleash Israel to finish off Hamas.” “It would be a long, brutal war, but necessary.” “There will never be peace in this region until Hamas is finished off militarily and politically.” ⸻ 🔴 On Iran “Iran is up to no good.” “We obliterated the Iranian nuclear facilities. We did not obliterate Iran’s desire to have a nuclear weapon.” “The regime hasn’t changed at all. They still want to destroy Israel and consider America the Great Satan.” “If there’s credible evidence they’re going back into the enrichment business at other sites, or rebuilding ballistic missiles that could threaten Israel or Europe, we should hit them before they can do that.” “Appeasement does not lead to peace.” “The only language radical Islam understands is force.” Later, when asked if Israel should strike Iran again: “Hit them as hard as you can, as often as you can. Make sure they can’t develop a nuclear weapon.” “If you see an effort to regenerate the enrichment program, hit it.” “If you see an effort to build more ballistic missiles … hit it NOW.” ⸻ 🔴 On Lebanon and Hezbollah “The trend lines in Lebanon are, quite frankly, optimistic.” “The Lebanese government has decided to call for Hezbollah to disarm.” “If Hezbollah gave up their heavy weapons, that would be a godsend for Lebanon and the region.” “If Hezbollah refuses, we should engage in military operations with Israel and the United States to achieve that goal.” “Hezbollah either gives up their heavy weapons voluntarily, or we come up with a military campaign to take them out.” “Once Hamas and Hezbollah are off the table, two proxies of Iran, the likelihood of a Saudi-Israel deal goes up dramatically.” ⸻ 🔴 On Turkey and a Gaza ‘stabilizing force’ “The idea that Turkey would be part of a stabilizing force would rock Israel to its core.” “There is no political support anywhere in Israel for Turkey being involved.” “Turkey’s comments against Israel are beyond the pale.” “If anybody thinks Turkey should be involved on the ground in Gaza, you would create a massive political crisis inside Israel.” ⸻ 🔴 On Israel, international criticism, and October 7 “Israel is not the problem. Hamas is the problem. Hezbollah is the problem. Iran is the problem.” “If anybody thinks Turkey should be involved on the ground in Gaza, you would create a massive political crisis inside Israel.” ⸻ 🔴 On Israel, international criticism, and October 7 “Israel is not the problem. Hamas is the problem. Hezbollah is the problem. Iran is the problem.” “This is a war of television. You’re winning on the ground, but you’re losing in the air.” “The war aims are not genocide.” “October 7 was designed to stop normalization between Saudi Arabia and Israel.” “If after October 7 Hamas is still standing, that would be the biggest mistake ever.” “You can’t rewrite history, but you can learn from it.”

Trump is no longer making any pretense of sanctioning firms supplying the Russian military. He is shifting the US position steadily to a pro-Russian position, including support for Russian military operations in Ukraine.

NEW: Rep. Cory Mills owns a defense company that appears to have been illegally exporting weapons to Ukraine—while Mills sits on the committee with oversight of those sales. This has gone unreported and for a long time unknown in Congress. My latest here:

Cory Mills appears to be the first active arms dealer to serve in Congress. That's probably because companies owned by members of Congress aren't legally allowed to export weapons—but his does.

It’s the “season of love and giving”…but this year, doesn’t it seem more like a “season of fear and taking”? Like many of you, I’ve been saddened by the human impact of draconian government budget cuts and how angry many housed Americans are at unhoused Americans.

A key to understand how the Bondi DOJ may be trying to hide information on other men implicated in Epstein's crimes:

Note how Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche's letter to Congress says DOJ is redacting information not only permitted by the Epstein Act but also ... the Privacy Act.⬇️

Solar overtakes coal even in Texas, and the trajectories are clear. Trump can flack all he wants for his fossil fuel donors, but markets move inexorably toward clean energy.

There's a series of things (like the ballroom, Gulf of America) that we're going to have to *undo* the moment this guy is out of office.
And yet I can already hear future Democrat presidents saying "I'm focused on the people's work, not the knucklehead stuff" and just leave this man's shit up.
