“Senator Robert Joseph Dole died early this morning in his sleep. At his death, at age 98, he had served the United States of America faithfully for 79 years,” said his family in a statement via the Elizabeth Dole Foundation.
Earlier this year, it was announced that Dole was being treated for advanced lung cancer. President Joe Biden visited Dole shortly before his diagnosis in February.
“While I certainly have some hurdles ahead, I also know that I join millions of Americans who face significant health challenges of their own,” Dole said in a statement in February.
For 30 years, Dole was a senator for Kansas, and in 1976, he was President Gerald Ford’s vice presidential nominee. The pair was defeated by then-Democrat candidate Jimmy Carter and his running mate, Walter Mondale.
Dole, who was injured while fighting in World War II, was the Senate majority leader from 1985 to 1987 and later, from 1995 to 1996. In 1996, Dole clinched the Republican nomination for the presidency but was ultimately defeated by incumbent President Bill Clinton, a Democrat.
Writing in his memoir, “One Soldier’s Story,” Dole said that his experiences in World War II defined his life. Former US Sen.

As much as we may wish that we could go back and relive them, do things differently, make better, wiser decisions, we can’t change history. War is like that. You can rewrite it, attempt to infuse it with your own personal opinions, twist […]

They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
