Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC), who has no children, was spotted spending his Spring break at Disney World over the weekend, as the government remains in a partial shutdown and Department of Homeland Security employees go without paychecks.

Graham was seemingly visiting the theme park alone, and he was photographed several times, having brunch at Chef Mickey’s and walking around the park.

In one photograph, he was seen strutting around while carrying a toy bubble wand for children.

TMZ reports that Graham was holding the bubble wand for a little girl while she was in the bathroom, according to an eyewitness.

This comes after the Senate passed a garbage funding bill to fund the Department of Homeland Security, but without funding for Immigration and Customs Enforcement, and ditched town for vacation.

Graham claims he was meeting with Trump officials in Florida and went to the resort afterward to meet with friends.

“I voted 7 times to fully fund the government. Call a Democrat,” Graham told TMZ.

President Trump on Sunday called the Senate’s funding measure “a shame” and said the Senate Republicans need to stop “playing it too soft” and terminate the filibuster while speaking to reporters on Air Force One.

Of Senate Leader Thune, Trump said, “I like him so much. He’s a high-quality person,” but added that he needs to step it up and lead in order to pass the SAVE America Act and reopen the government with full funding for DHS.

Other Senators are also living lavishly while the government remains partially closed, and they face calls to return to session.

As The Gateway Pundit reported, TMZ also obtained a photo of Bernie Sanders living large in First Class while he forces Americans to go without pay.

Severely Injured Iranian Supreme Leader Is Waiting for Prosthetic Leg, Will Need Face Surgery: NYT

Mojtaba is reportedly in bad shape, but alive and mentally alert.

Iran’s new Supreme Ruler, Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei, hasn’t been seen or heard since his appointment in March.

Power is being exerted by Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) commanders on matters of security, war, and diplomacy.

The New York Times has published a new report on Mojtaba’s health woes:

“Mr. Khamenei, who was selected by a council of senior clerics as the new supreme leader, has been in hiding since American and Israeli forces bombed his father’s compound on Feb. 28, where he also lived with his family. His father, wife and son were all killed.”

The NYT sources say access to the Ayatollah is extremely limited, now.

No senior officials visit him, lest Israel trace them to his location and kill him.

“Though Mr. Khamenei was gravely wounded, he is mentally sharp and engaged, according to four senior Iranian officials familiar with his health. One leg was operated on three times, and he is awaiting a prosthetic.

He had surgery on one hand and is slowly regaining function. His face and lips have been burned severely, making it difficult for him to speak, the officials said, adding that, eventually, he will need plastic surgery.”

Messages to Mojtaba ‘are handwritten, sealed in envelopes and relayed via a human chain from one trusted courier to the next’.

The New York Post reported:

“Although the report describes Khamenei as difficult to reach, it also cites the Iranian officials as saying the country’s president, Masoud Pezeshkian, and health minister, Mohammad-Reza Zafarghandi, ‘have both been involved in his care’.

The report supports Trump administration officials’ contention that peace talks are inhibited by slow communication and uncertainty about whether foreign minister Abbas Araghchi and parliament speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf are able to speak for their nation.”

President Trump Releases Statement on Ousted Secretary of the Navy John Phelan (VIDEO)

President Trump on Thursday released a statement on ousted Secretary of the Navy, John Phelan.

John Phelan on was reportedly fired by Secretary of War Pete Hegseth on Wednesday.

Undersecretary Hung Cao will become Acting Secretary of the Navy, Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell announced.

Full statement from Sean Parnell:

Secretary of the Navy John C. Phelan is departing the administration, effective immediately.

On behalf of the Secretary of War and Deputy Secretary of War, we are grateful to Secretary Phelan for his service to the Department and the United States Navy.

We wish him well in his future endeavors.

Undersecretary Hung Cao will become Acting Secretary of the Navy.

At first it was unclear if John Phelan was fired or resigned but Fox News later reported that he was indeed fired.

On Thursday, President Trump’s statement suggested Phelan departed on his own accord.

Full statement from President Trump:

John Phelan is a long time friend, and very successful businessman, who did an outstanding job serving as my Secretary Of The Navy for the last year.

John helped my Administration rebuild Sleepy Joe Biden’s rapidly depleted, and almost abandoned, Navy. Now, because of John, and all of the Great Men and Women lovingly and tirelessly involved, we have the strongest Navy in the World — BY FAR!

John Phelan is smart, tough, and respected by all, and although he has decided to move on from his position as Secretary Of The Navy, I very much appreciate the job that he has done, and would certainly like to have him back within the Trump Administration sometime in the future.

A very special thank you to John for his service to the United States of America! President DONALD J. TRUMP

Later Thursday, President Trump said Phelan had conflicts with some people.

WATCH:

Wednesday’s firing is part of the latest shakeup at the Pentagon.

Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, earlier this month, ordered Army Chief of Staff General Randy George to step down.

Last summer, Hegseth fired the general in charge of the agency that released the dubious ‘top secret’ intelligence assessment about the US’s strikes on Iranian nuclear sites.

Lt. Gen. Jeffrey Kruse was fired as head of the Defense Intelligence Agency.

Last year, Hegseth formally terminated the service of every member sitting on the Department of Defense’s advisory committees.
