Graham’s Legacy: From Pool Hall to Capitol | Roanoke News

Senator Lindsey Graham, the charismatic dealmaker who rose from humble roots to become a towering figure in Washington, is being honored with a state funeral this week. His legacy spans decades of bipartisan influence, from his early days as a Republican wave candidate in 1994 to his pivotal role in Clinton’s impeachment and his eventual rise as Trump’s trusted advisor. Lying in honor at the U.S. Capitol, he’ll be remembered by global leaders like Netanyahu and Zelenskyy, with Trump set to speak at his cathedral service. Just days before his unexpected death at 71, Graham delivered a major bipartisan win on Ukraine sanctions — a final testament to his enduring political power. His burial will take place Wednesday in his home state of South Carolina. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.

U.S. Reverses Course Against Chinese Influence | Roanoke News

The U.S. is pouring hundreds of millions into global programs to counter China’s rising influence, including a $175 million push to replace critical undersea cables in the Caribbean and Central America — a move designed to block China’s access to vital communication infrastructure. Part of a broader $450 million reinvestment across the Western Hemisphere, Africa, and Asia, these efforts aim to rebuild U.S. diplomatic and economic leverage after years of budget cuts. Officials warn that Chinese deals, while cheaper upfront, often lead to hidden costs and poor performance, threatening national security and prosperity. Beyond cables, over $340 million will fund more than 50 projects worldwide — including security centers in Argentina and Belize to monitor Chinese cyber and infrastructure threats — signaling a renewed, high-stakes geopolitical push to outmaneuver Beijing on the global stage.

Chile’s Last Dictator Killer Caught | Roanoke News

A retired Chilean colonel, Nelson Haase Mazzei, has been captured after three years on the run — he was convicted in 1973 for the brutal kidnapping and murder of iconic singer Víctor Jara, who was tortured with 44 bullet wounds. Though sentenced to 25 years, he fled before serving. His arrest marks the last of the convicted Pinochet-era officers to be caught, as Chile continues its painful reckoning with the dictatorship’s legacy — which left an estimated 40,000 victims. Jara’s daughter Amanda, now leading the Víctor Jara Foundation, says justice remains elusive, urging authorities to hunt down the rest who escaped accountability.
