In his will, Henry Kissinger, who died last year at the age of 100, requested a "monument" in his memory be erected in Arlington National Cemetery to mark the site where he is buried. According to his literary executor L. Paul Bremer, it's not happening. Bremer told @politico that the cemetery has tightened its rules on private markers and consequently "there will be a tombstone, a grave marker." The former secretary of state's will also reveals that he died a very rich man, with a personal fortune of at least $80 million, most of which will go to his wife, Nancy, and his family.

“Trump used the terms #SuckersAndLosers to describe #soldiers who gave their lives in the defense of our country,” #JohnKelly recently told Goldberg. “There are many, many people who have heard him say these things.” Besides, #Trump has said himself that he wants to use the #military domestically, & he’s disrespected #FallenSoldiers by trying to use #ArlingtonNationalCemetery as a cheap campaign prop.

…no money was ever received by the family from #Trump. Some of the costs…were covered by the #Army (which offered…to allow Guillén to be buried at #ArlingtonNationalCemetery) & some were covered by donations. Ultimately, Guillén was buried in Houston.

…The personal qualities displayed by Trump in his reaction to the cost of the Guillén funeral—#contempt, #rage, #parsimony, #racism—hardly surprised his inner circle.

The #Pentagon’s Quiet Attempt to Keep Out of the #Trump #Arlington Cemetery Controversy

Lawmakers are still waiting on the Pentagon for more details about what happened between Trump’s campaign & #ArlingtonNationalCemetery staff during last month’s memorial service for soldiers who died during the Afghanistan withdrawal. The Pentagon appears to be hoping the lawmakers just forget about it.

Listening to Lights On with Jessica Denson (Trump CAN'T RUN from HIMSELF, Kamala Gets SURPRISE Endorsement): podtrac.com/pts/redirect.mp3/p

Lights on! A sentencing delay is cold comfort for felon candidate Donald Trump, as Judge Chutkan set up his nightmare October surprise: a massive evidence dump on his crimes relating to January 6. Meanwhile, as Kamala continues to pick up the unlikeliest of endorsements (did somebody say Dick Cheney?), Trump makes one incoherent appearance after another, defames more of his sexual assault victims, and once again throws America under the bus in the service of Vladimir Putin. Plus, there are updates in the Arlington National Cemetery scandal, and the Trump campaign is desperate to shut its staffers up.

"We hope that those visiting this sacred site understand that there were real people who sacrificed for our freedom & that they are #honored & #respected & treated accordingly," they said in a statement.
