From the Tom Woods Letter:

Senator Lindsey Graham has been the target of criticism on the former Twitter for his recent trip to Ukraine.

The gist of it is that Graham seems to find more time for other countries than he does for his own people.

Dear @LindseyGrahamSC,

Can you to explain why you still have NEVER visited western North Carolina since Hurricane Helene devastated our area…when you LIVE LESS THAN 1.5 hours from the worst disaster since Katrina…yet have found time to fly to Ukraine 9 times??!!

You do not need me to tell you, dear reader, that this is an entirely reasonable question.

There will always be tragedy and sorrow somewhere on earth. Your responsibility is still with those in your immediate circle of care: your family, your friends, your neighbors, and so on from there.

You may care for the indigent in Albania if you wish, but only after you have seen after those under your charge. This is the consensus not simply of Christian social thought, but is also the clear dictate of common sense.

In 2008, during the week that the execrable John McCain was to be officially nominated for president at that year's Republican National Convention in St. Paul, Minnesota, Ron Paul held his Rally for the Republic at the Target Center in Minneapolis, the other of the Twin Cities. Speaking to those many thousands of people was one of the great moments of my life.

In preparation for that event Dr. Paul called and said: I want a good antiwar speaker. Do you have any suggestions?

I replied: Bill Kauffman, without a doubt.

Bill, one of the few writers whose prose I genuinely envy, wound up giving the best speech of the day.

I thought of it today as I contemplated Senator Graham's priorities.
