WATCH: Nancy Mace Posts Video Announcing She Will Not Run for Lindsey Graham’s Senate Seat
July 20, 2026
Nancy Mace has decided against running for the Senate seat left open by the death of Sen. Lindsey Graham, choosing instead to finish out her time in the House of Representatives, where she says she is focused on unfinished battles over accountability for women and the release of files tied to Jeffrey Epstein.
In a video statement released Monday, the South Carolina Republican explained that she is not backing away from a fight but is committed to the work she is already doing in Congress.
“The laws meant to protect me and other women failed us, and I won’t stop until that changes,” Mace said.
Mace added that she is “chasing justice” rather than another title.
“So I’m not chasing another title, I’m chasing justice. Justice for me, justice for other women, and justice for every little girl who was told to stay silent,” she said.
“Serving South Carolina has been the honor of my life, and I will continue to voice our values everywhere I can. I’m even going to sh-tpost from time to time because someone has to call out the dumbasses, because if we don’t, we as a country will be gone,” Mace continued.
“I love you. I want to thank you for the thousands of calls and text messages and offers to help in a race like this, and I want to say God bless you. Serving you has been the honor of my life, and I will never forget it,” she concluded.
WATCH:
I’m not running for the Senate – because I have some unfinished business. Since I stood on that House floor, I’ve been fighting for every woman and girl who was told to stay silent. I want justice – and that day is coming.
A Republican primary for the seat is set for August 11.
Candidates already in or exploring the race include Rep. Ralph Norman, Rep. Russell Fry, Lindsey Graham’s sister Darline Nordone Graham, who was appointed to finish the current term, and America First businessman Mark Lynch.
Mace had previously hinted that she was exploring throwing her hat into the ring after losing her gubernatorial bid, which she gave up her House seat to pursue.

Locals swarmed former president Bill Clinton who was clad in a red ’42’ hat and jeans.
The locals took photos with Bill Clinton and shook his hand.
However, no one noticed twice-failed presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton as she strolled down the street in white pants and a striped top.
Italian police reportedly escorted the Clintons through the small Sicilian island.

Rubio Targets ICC as U.S. Law Rejects Court’s Jurisdiction Over Americans
July 20, 2026
The Trump administration’s campaign against the International Criminal Court reflects the longstanding U.S. position that the ICC lacks jurisdiction over Americans and that international institutions should not infringe on U.S. sovereignty.
The United States fought a War of Independence beginning in 1775 to become an independent nation, a full year before the Declaration of Independence was even drafted. Today, we are a federal republic in which citizens vote directly for their legislators and, through the Electoral College, for the president. No unelected authority in Europe should ever have sovereignty over the United States. Neither Brussels, Geneva, nor The Hague should be able to dictate the actions of U.S. citizens within U.S. borders or direct American foreign policy.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced on July 13 that the United States would dismantle the threat posed by the International Criminal Court (ICC) to US sovereignty. The announcement came in a State Department release, a video statement, and a Wall Street Journal op-ed in which Rubio wrote that the US would “dismantle the ICC”, “brick by brick, if necessary,” using “all the tools at our government’s disposal.”
The State Department said the campaign will feature a “whole-of-government response” to systematically disable the ICC’s ability to operate, target American service members or officials, or otherwise threaten American sovereignty. The statement said the ICC “poses an intolerable threat to US sovereignty” because it claims authority to prosecute American servicemen and officials, and noted that all American presidents since the court’s founding have maintained that the ICC lacks jurisdiction over Americans.
Concrete steps outlined by the State Department include travel bans and visa revocations for ICC personnel, increased sanctions on the court and affiliated organizations, and pressure on allied nations to withdraw from the Rome Statute or cut off support for the court. The Wall Street Journal op-ed also said Washington would watch closely which nations join it against the court, and that countries relying on the US security umbrella are being called on to reject the ICC’s authority.
The US has never ratified the Rome Statute, the 2002 treaty that created the ICC. The American Servicemembers’ Protection Act of 2002, passed under the Bush administration, already authorizes the use of US military force to free American or allied personnel detained by the ICC, a provision sometimes called the “Hague Invasion Act.”
The first Trump administration sanctioned the ICC prosecutor in 2020 over the court’s investigation into alleged crimes in Afghanistan involving US personnel, according to Just Security.
The current campaign follows the ICC’s issuance of arrest warrants in November 2024 for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and then-Defense Minister Yoav Gallant over alleged war crimes in Gaza, which prompted Trump to sign an executive order sanctioning the ICC and its officials, including chief prosecutor Karim Khan, according to Novara Media. The same report noted that the administration has welcomed the ICC’s investigation into Russian conduct in Ukraine while opposing its investigations into Israeli conduct in Gaza and US conduct in Afghanistan.
Human rights organizations have pushed back on the campaign. Former Human Rights Watch executive director Kenneth Roth said the effort was an attempt to “dress up” what he called a quest for impunity for American war crimes. A joint statement signed by national human rights organizations on July 17 called the campaign an attack on international rule of law and urged other states to defend the court, an independent judicial body created to prosecute genocide, crimes against humanity, war crimes, and the crime of aggression.
The ICC has not opened any investigation on US soil. Rubio’s op-ed specifically named Democracy for the Arab World Now, an organization that has called for legal examination of US deportations to El Salvador and US military strikes, on Iran.
The ICC campaign reflects a longstanding US position: rejecting the binding authority of transnational and supranational bodies over US citizens and foreign policy, a stance held across administrations. Being a signatory is the exception rather than the rule. The United States has joined a small number of major multilateral agreements, such as the UN Charter, NATO, and the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, but it has never ratified the Rome Statute establishing the ICC, the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea, or the Convention on the Rights of the Child, among others.
It is also important to note that the United States is not opposed to the goals of many of these organizations or treaties, but rather to the loss of sovereignty that ratification could entail. However, the United States is the world’s leading enforcer of the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea and has assisted in the apprehension of individuals wanted by the ICC.
On January 7, President Trump signed an executive order titled “Withdrawing the United States from International Organizations, Conventions, and Treaties that Are Contrary to the Interests of the United States.” The order directed the United States to withdraw from 66 international organizations, according to NPR. These included the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, and the International Institute for Democracy and Electoral Assistance.
Earlier in 2025, the administration withdrew from the Paris Agreement, the World Health Organization, and the UN Human Rights Council, ended funding for UNRWA, and announced the United States’ withdrawal from UNESCO, which will take effect at the end of 2026.
Even multilateral agreements led by the United States represent a loss of sovereignty that the Trump administration opposes. The USMCA, a trade pact Trump signed during his first term, replaced NAFTA in 2020. On July 1, 2026, during the agreement’s mandatory six-year review, the Trump administration declined to renew it in its current form. That decision triggered a 10-year countdown of mandatory annual reviews leading to its scheduled expiration in 2036.
US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer has said Trump is weighing full withdrawal from the agreement. Any formal exit, however, would require six months’ notice and, according to a 2020 Senate Finance Committee report, arguably congressional consent because USMCA is a congressionally approved trade agreement.
The United States has never ratified the Rome Statute or subjected itself to the ICC. Viewed in this context, the Trump administration’s actions against the ICC are consistent with the past 80 years of U.S. foreign policy.
28-Year-Old Radical Arrested for Bloody Assassination of 78-Year-Old British Conservative Ann Widdecombe
July 20, 2026
Ann Widdecombe and 28-year-old Joshua Kerry, her accused killer.
78-year-old former Tory minister and Brexit Party MEP Ann Widdecombe was found dead at her home in Haytor on Dartmoor on July 9th. According to authorities at the time the popular conservative suffered ‘serious injuries’ causing her brutal death. She was murdered on July 8th.
She had been due to appear via Zoom on a Channel 5 program that afternoon, but last made contact with the production team at 12:19 pm and failed to join the call.
The assassin from Rotherham drove his car to her home and rang the bell. When the elderly woman answered, the wicked leftist pushed his way into her home and bludgeoned her to death.
At first, local Devon and Cornwall Police alleged the murder was not politically motivated, but that call was obviously wrong.
Reform UK party, on their part, insisted that the attack may have been motivated by Widdecombe’s politics – a claim that was later vindicated.
Neighbors and sources have portrayed him as withdrawn and unremarkable in public life
Officials later announced that the death was being treated as terrorism.
Police found newspaper clippings about Nigel Farage and Reform UK (a right-wing populist party) in his home. This discovery contributed to counter-terrorism police becoming involved in the inquiry.
The UK’s Counter-terrorism police took control of the investigation into her death after ‘new information and evidence’ came to light.
On Monday, authorities arrested Joshua Kerry. The 28-year-old alleged assassin will appear at Westminster Magistrates’ Court Tuesday morning.
Lockheed Martin To Produce Cheaper Patriot Interceptor Missiles To Address Skyrocketing Demand for Air Defense
July 20, 2026

Air defense is the name of the game.
It’s an unfortunate fact that we live in an increasingly dangerous world full of conflict.
Everywhere you turn, countries are hearing the martial drums in the air, and are rearming like there’s no tomorrow.
And in this brave new world of cheap swarming drones, the biggest bottleneck in the defense procurement of these countries is the air defense systems and intercepting missiles.
It also doesn’t help that the most sought-after systems and missiles, the Patriot, are exceedingly expensive and slow to manufacture.
In this scenario, Lockheed Martin announced today (20) a lower-cost Patriot interceptor, as the established defense contractors ‘face competition from startups making low-cost weapons that can be produced at scale’.
Introducing PAC‑3 ACE

“Lockheed said its new PAC-3 Adapted Capability Effector, or ACE, missile would cost less than half as much as its PAC-3 MSE interceptors, which cost roughly $4 million per missile, according to U.S. Army budget documents.
Initial production could start within 36 months, the company said, adding that it plans to develop and manufacture the weapon with U.S. and European industry partners.
‘American and allied warfighters need a solution that is battle-tested and budget-smart’, Tim Cahill, president of Lockheed Martin Missiles and Fire Control, said in a statement at Britain’s Farnborough Airshow.”
Lockheed Martin is in talks with the US government about building a new, lower-cost model of the Patriot missile overseas and would look to tap into a European supply chain as part of any move, @sylviapfeifer reports.https://t.co/rIOjg7Km7N via @FT
“The announcement […] comes as the U.S. looks to reduce its dependence on expensive interceptors to combat mass-produced munitions, a juxtaposition that has come under increased scrutiny as American forces have blown through the country’s finite interceptor stockpile to combat Iran’s relatively inexpensive drones during Operation Epic Fury.
The PAC-3 interceptors cost an estimated $4 million, far more than the $35,000 typical price tag of an Iranian Shahed drone. Experts warn that the U.S.’ increased interceptor use has raised concerns about whether stockpiles can be replenished quickly enough to sustain a prolonged campaign.
[…] Lockheed Martin said the new interceptor will still be compatible with the Patriot weapon system and Integrated Battle Command System, which enables the company to speed up development, an effort it says will be coordinated jointly with American and European partners.”
Nearly 50 House Republicans Push Bill That Grants “DE FACTO AMNESTY” to Illegal Alien Farm Workers Present in the U.S. as of May 31, 2026
July 20, 2026
Rep. Glenn “GT” Thompson introduces a bill that would effectively grant de facto amnesty to tens of thousands of illegal alien farm workers currently residing in the United States.
A group of nearly 50 House Republicans is pushing legislation that would grant de facto amnesty to illegal alien farm workers who were unlawfully present in the United States as of May 31, 2026.
A de facto amnesty means people who broke the law are effectively allowed to stay or avoid punishment, even though the government has not officially declared an amnesty.
There are 53 total cosponsors: 49 Republicans and 4 Democrats, and it is currently sitting in the House Judiciary Committee.

The most controversial section would allow illegal aliens already living in the United States to obtain H-2A agricultural worker status by waiving multiple grounds of inadmissibility and deportability.
Specifically, the bill provides waivers for certain immigration violations committed before an alien receives H-2A status, provided they otherwise qualify.
To qualify, an applicant must have either voluntarily departed the United States or have been unlawfully present in the country on May 31, 2026, while having performed agricultural labor for at least 5.75 hours per day during at least 180 days over the previous two years.
This amounts to a legalization program for illegal alien farm workers already inside the country.
The legislation also protects employers from certain civil and criminal liability related to previously employing unauthorized workers if those workers apply for H-2A status under the bill.
Employment records submitted to establish eligibility generally could not be used against employers in enforcement actions for prior unlawful employment, except in cases involving fraudulent records.
Beyond the legalization provisions, the legislation would significantly overhaul the H-2A agricultural guest worker program.
Among its provisions, the bill would:
Allow labor certifications lasting up to three consecutive years.
Permit staggered entry and exit dates for H-2A workers.
Allow H-2A workers to transfer to another qualifying agricultural employer before final approval of a new petition.
Create a streamlined online platform for processing H-2A applications across multiple federal agencies.
All amendments made by the bill would take effect one year after the date of enactment. The legislation also authorizes federal agencies to issue interim final rules during that one-year implementation period to prepare for the changes.
The proposal is expected to divide Republicans, particularly as President Donald Trump has repeatedly vowed to carry out the largest deportation operation in American history and reject any form of amnesty for illegal aliens.
