Someone will have to explain why flags all over Collin County, Texas, have lowered to half-staff … and I damn sure hope it isn’t to honor the memory of a piss-ant partisan who died over the weekend.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

I have concluded that the flags are flying at half-staff because Sen. Lindsey Graham — a Republican from South Carolina — has passed away.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Now, I must ask: What in the name of politics has Graham done to benefit Texas, other than to fall in line with his Big Daddy, Donald J. Trump? Graham once had the balls to tell the truth about Trump … when he was running against him for the 2016 GOP presidential nomination. He called Trump a “race-baiting” nitwit; he called the future POTUS an individual who is unfit for public office, let alone the presidency.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

He fell in line about the time Trump secured the party’s nomination that year and has been licking the liar in chief’s boots ever since.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

And for that — and virtually nothing else — he’s being honored with businesses, government offices and individual property owners flying flags at half-staff.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Give me a … break.<\/p>\r\n\n
