Please correct me if I'm wrong but I remember Graham to be not a fan of President Trump. I wonder if such opinion was swayed by the fake Russian dossier narrative?

LINDSEY GRAHAM: DOJ USED ANTI-TRUMP DOSSIER IN COURT

"I just saw Lindsey Graham on one of the Fox News talk shows. He told the host, Brian Kilmeade, that the infamous anti-Trump dossier was used in court by the Department of Justice. I take it Graham means that the dossier, or information it contains, was used by the DOJ in the FISA court to gain approval for surveillance of Team Trump.

We have suspected that this was the case. Now Graham apparently has seen evidence that confirms our suspicion.

Graham made his statement in the context of calling for a special counsel to investigate matters relating to the dossier, an issue that, he noted, falls outside the purview of Robert Mueller. Graham said that it has been very difficult to obtain information from the Justice Department, but that recently he discovered information that “bothers him a lot” and convinces him of the need for the dossier to be investigated by someone outside of the DOJ. ...."

Plummeting temperatures could send the world into a 'mini ice age' in 2030 and could OVERRIDE global warming, claim mathematicians

Temperatures will start dropping in 2021, according to a mathematical model

This, they say, will lead to a phenomenon known as the 'Maunder minimum'

This was previously known as a mini ice age when it hit between 1646 and 1715

HOLIDAY SHOPPING DATA ILLUSTRATE SUCCESS OF TRUMP’S POLICIES AND DEMOCRATS’ DIFFICULT ROAD

"....For the Democrats, 2018 will be a race against time. They think they can take the House, and then impeach President Trump. They may be right. But keeping the hysteria dialed up to 12 while distracting voters from the facts–a growing economy, higher wages, lower taxes, a pro-America foreign policy, a return to the rule of law–won’t be easy. It is never easy to run against reality."

New Trump Executive Order Targets Clinton-Linked Individuals, Lobbyists And Perhaps Uranium One

"The Trump Administration quietly issued an  Executive Order (EO) last Thursday which allows for the freezing of US-housed assets belonging to  foreign individuals or entities deemed "serious human rights abusers," along with government officials and  executives of foreign corporations (current or former) found to have engaged in corruption - which includes the misappropriation of state assets, the expropriation of private assets for personal gain, and corruption related to government contracts or the extraction of natural resources. 

Furthermore, anyone  in the United States who aids or participates in said corruption or human rights abuses by foreign parties is subject to frozen assets - along with any U.S. corporation who  employsforeigners deemed to have engaged in corruption on behalf of the company....."

TRUMP “COLLUDES” WITH UKRAINE AGAINST RUSSIA

Source: Powerlineblog.com

"....I guess the Kremlin has no information with which to blackmail President Trump, after all. And James Clapper — probably John Brennan’s closest competition for least intelligent man ever to lead an American intelligence agency — must be wrong in claiming that “Russia is handling President Trump as an asset.” ....

"....The sniper systems Trump approved for sale are needed to address a specific vulnerability of Ukrainian forces fighting Russian-backed separatists. A congressional aide told Lifhits:

As the conflict has ground down into trench warfare and small unit exchanges in the no-man’s land between the lines, the role of snipers has become increasingly important. ...."
