Democrat Sen. Chris Murphy Suggests Trump
Voters Are Ignorant and Ill-Informed
Posted By: Dreadnought, 6/4/2026 2:17:03 AM
Democrat Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT) suggested to a group of supporters that the 77 million+ Americans who voted for President Donald Trump are ignorant and ill-informed. Murphy, the Deputy Democratic Conference Secretary who is said to be on the shortlist to one day replace Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) in leading Senate Democrats, recently insulted millions of Americans by suggesting to Fox News that they are total rubes and “actually don’t know much,” living as zombies. “There are lots of Trump voters who don’t know much about the facts,”

Graham Platner Allegations From Its Own Story 5 replies
Graham Platner Allegations From Its Own Story 5 replies
When the New York Times spoke with Lyndsey Fifield about her experiences with Graham Platner, the paper made promises. Representatives of the paper said they would protect her, that men couldn't keep getting away with it. They collected her diary pages, her screenshots, her contacts, and walked away with everything she had. Then they published their story.
The story they published was damning, but, according to Fifield, they omitted the most serious allegation.
Fifield had every reason to stay quiet. She described her current life as genuinely good, raising two young daughters in a safe neighborhood, working from home, active in her church, and surrounded by close friends and family.
As predictable as the Sun rising in the East, new bombshells dropped against the embattled Maine Democrat Senate candidate, Herr Oystergruppenfuhrer Graham Platner. The New York Times published an article enumerating some deeply concerning behaviors by Platner as told by his ex-girlfriends. An emergency interview with MS Now’s Chris Hayes ensued. Here are some of the most telling moments from that interview.
For the most part, the interview played like a 24-minute extended remix of The New York Times’s Lulu García-Navarro asking Platner whether there was anything else he wanted to get ahead of
I'm not sure if he said it first, but Mark Steyn probably said it most clearly: Demographics is destiny. A society that doesn’t reproduce is going to perish. Unless it replenishes its population through immigration, in which case, it’s going to be a very different society, and almost certainly not one that nations’ founders ever envisioned. That’s the reality of contemporary Europe, including England, and it’s not pretty, as Matt Goodwin reports:
According to new figures from Eurostat, the people of Europe are experiencing the most profound demographic shift in their history. Between 2010 and today, in only 16 years, the number of foreign-born residents in Europe rocketed
US employers added 172,000 jobs in May while the country’s unemployment rate held steady at 4.3%, a sign of a resilient labor market despite rising inflation and economic uncertainty brought on by continued conflict in the Middle East.
Economists initially predicted there would be about 80,000 new jobs and a steady unemployment rate of 4.3%. Job figures for March and April were also revised up 29,000 and 64,000, respectively, a 93,000 boost compared to initial figures. The new data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics is the latest in a number of reports that have pointed to strong hiring in recent months, despite
Zack Polanski, the Jewish, anti-Israel leader of Britain’s Green Party, has backed a call to monitor UK-Israeli nationals who have recently served in the Israel Defense Forces, British media reported Wednesday.
Polanski signed a letter organized last month by the far-left Declassified Britain publication and the International Centre of Justice for Palestinians, which urges tracking the entry of dual nationals as they come into the country as being “in the public interest” due to possible war crimes suspicions.
“Nobody wants to live next to a potential war criminal – not least members of the Palestinian community in the UK who have family or friends
A More Optimistic View on Iran
7 replies
I have often expressed puzzlement over the Trump administration’s cease fire in Iran and its strategy going forward. In general, my views align with Scott’s, as expressed earlier today. However, for a more optimistic view, check out Condoleezza Rice’s op-ed in the Wall Street Journal:
The war against Iran has been a limited war, and its outcome is likely to be inconclusive. But it has achieved enough to produce a far better Middle East.
The three-month military campaign degraded Iran’s ability to project power by significantly damaging its conventional forces, missile stockpiles and proxies.
Yes. That was the objective, and the objective has been achieved.
It's been over four years since it became clear that Vladimir Putin couldn't win the war in Ukraine. For most of that time, the Russian president-for-life has maintained the support of his oligarchs and nationalist hawks as he tried to wear down Kyiv and Volodymyr Zelensky, not to mention Joe Biden and Donald Trump. Putin has also managed to keep the Russian economy from collapsing, surprising many observers, but the war has encroached in more significant ways than expected of late.
The Wall Street Journal reports today that Putin's core of political and financial support may have soured on the war and wants Putin to end it, but perhaps doesn't
Rumors have swirled all week that the New York Times had a story ready to drop that would make Graham Platner's situation even worse than before. Senate Democrats must have gotten wind of it on Tuesday, as the Wall Street Journal reported that several of them began asking the presumptive Senate nominee from Maine some very pointed and specific questions about his past relationships with women. Other media outlets reported that Platner left DC earlier than expected after these questions arose, with the campaign claiming it had something to do with Platner's father.
That turned out to be a lie. The NYT finally dropped the story this afternoon,
There is so much to write about the Henry Nowak murder in Hampshire, it's hard to know where to begin.
As horrific as we thought the whole affair was, we didn't know the half of it, and now that we are seeing the response of the Labour Party to the anger in their country, they look even worse than before, which is hard to imagine.
In this post, I want to focus on two big issues: the first being Digwa's behavior after he stabbed Nowak several times and how the evidence was hidden from everyone, and the second being how the luminaries
Yesterday, the Department of Justice dropped a superseding indictment of the Southern Poverty Law Center, revealing far more evidence it has obtained that pretty conclusively demonstrates that the organization didn't, as it claimed, just pay informants to spy on white supremacist hate groups; it actively organized and paid for activities such as cross burnings, rallies, and even klan robes for individuals who wanted to leave the group.
It has the goods. The bank records, the payments, everything.
An organization that sued the Klan into bankruptcy then used its own money, collected from donors using its IRS nonprofit status, to prop up these organizations and fund their activities.
Scott Rasmussen still does polling, even though he left Rasmussen Reports and now runs RMG Research. One of his big loves is working for The Napolitan Institute, which he founded to do deep dives into Americans' real attitudes rather than the ones revealed by the flawed and often motivated polling done today.
His goal is to "amplify the voice of the American people," rather than just gather data for politicians so they can more easily manipulate people for votes or to change their attitudes through framing issues.
It does interesting work, with a more populist tinge, based on what seems to me to be a deep skepticism

Secretary of State Marco Rubio was testifying before the House Foreign Affairs Committee on Wednesday. You know that was likely to spark a storm of "performance theater" by the Democrats, peppering Rubio with questions that were outside the subject of the hearing.
But Rubio has shown that he's truly adept at dealing with these characters.
My colleague Bob Hoge reported earlier on Wednesday on how he sliced and diced Rep. Ted Lieu (CA-36), who was trying to push a bizarre conspiracy about President Donald Trump, claiming that Trump "keeps going to hospitals" (he doesn't) and that no one has seen him in eight days (we see him all the time).

After months of campaigning, millions of dollars’ worth of advertisements and a 61-candidate ballot for governor that included names such as LivingForGod AndCountry DeMott and Barack D. Obama Shaw, California voters have arrived at the next phase of the election:
The wait. (Snip) When voters wait until close to Election Day to return their ballots, as many Democrats did in this race, those ballots can pile up in election offices — only to be processed and added to the count days later, especially in large counties with millions of votes to tally.

Two hundred and ten years ago this summer, a 19-year-old woman named Mary Shelley, bored one stormy afternoon, decided to write the scariest story ever told.
It was a tale of a brilliant and arrogant man who wanted to change the world but ended up creating a monster. She named him Barack Obama.
All right, she named him Dr. Frankenstein. But had the great author been around to witness Adam Hamawy win the Democratic primary in New Jersey’s 12th Congressional District, she would’ve understood right away that she was looking at a familiar tale of hubris, malice and ghouls on the loose.
The St. Paul city attorney says no state charges will be filed against anti-ICE protesters who demonstrated in a St. Paul church earlier this year. The protesters disrupted a Sunday service in January because a church leader there is also a ranking official in a local ICE office.
In a statement sent to MPR News Wednesday, attorney Irene Kao said the decision comes after her office reviewed evidence submitted by law enforcement.
Insufferable NeverTrumper John Bolton has worked out a plea deal and will plead guilty to a single count of “illegal retention of sensitive national security documents,” reports far-left CNN.
Bolton was originally charged with “eight counts of transmission of national defense information and 10 counts of retention of national defense information.” A conviction on any of those counts would’ve meant serious jail time.
On this one count, although the penalty is up to five years in prison, the deal apparently comes with Bolton agreeing to plead guilty and pay a fine of $2.25 million without jail time. However, a judge could still sentence the 77-year-old to prison regardless of the plea agreement.
A Catholic priest who spent nearly two decades casting out demons in the nation’s capital lost his post this week after he told followers that UFOs might be the devil in disguise.
Cardinal Robert McElroy stripped Monsignor Stephen Rossetti of his role as an exorcist for the Archdiocese of Washington on June 3, the archdiocese announced. It also severed every tie with Rossetti’s St. Michael Center for Spiritual Renewal, a Washington nonprofit he led. Rossetti is a priest of the Diocese of Syracuse, New York. He had held the exorcist post for 19 years, EWTN reported.
Harley-Davidson hired a CEO and a Chief Brand Officer that have pushed “woke” initiatives in the past despite the motorcycle company’s vow to backtrack away from such policies.
The companies that Artie Starrs, now Harley-Davidson’s CEO, and Marcus Fischer, now Harley-Davidson’s chief brand officer, previously helped lead strongly promoted diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) policies during their respective tenures, according to conservative activist Robby Starbuck.
Harley-Davidson hired both Starrs and Fischer in 2025, a year after the company said it would change such policies following significant backlash. In 2025, former CEO of Harley-Davidson, Jochen Zeitz, retired after he was accused of pushing a leftist political agenda and overseeing over a decline
Americans should expect, at a minimum, to have elections that are free and fair, and results that are delivered promptly. But California is taking its laid-back reputation too far, failing to deliver its election results in a timely manner and creating the perception that they are neither free nor fair.
Slothful election results have plagued California for years since it made wholesale changes to its election system in 2016. It has mass mail-in ballots that can be counted post-election and allows for an extremely slow pace of counting.
Proponents of the system say this makes their elections more “secure” and accessible.

Iran – These FOUR Republicans Voted
with Democrats 13 replies
The House of Representatives on Wednesday voted 215-208 to end the war with Iran.
This is the first time the House has voted to stop Trump’s military action in Iran.
Four Republicans voted with the Democrats: Thomas Massie, Brian Fitzpatrick, Tom Barrett and Warren Davidson.
The resolution is likely dead on arrival in the Senate. If it passes the Senate, Trump will veto the resolution.
The Hill reported: House lawmakers on Wednesday passed legislation designed to force President Trump to end the Iran War, marking a victory for Democrats and the constitutional purists who say the conflict is illegal without explicit congressional approval.
The tally was 215-208, with four Republicans — Reps. Thomas Massie (Ky.),
Democrats in New Jersey just handed a primary win to Adam Hamawy, a candidate with actual ties to the terrorist organization Al-Qaeda, which is credited with carrying out the attacks of 9/11.
This is in a district where Todd Beamer is buried. You may remember Todd Beamer as the airline passenger on Flight 93 who famously said “Let’s roll” as his last known words, referring to other passengers as they prepared to retake control of the plane, which crashed into a field in rural Pennsylvania instead of somewhere in DC.
This is what Democrats have come to. Utterly shameful.
While raising an LGBT pride flag over the state capitol building, Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers said he plans to defy a Supreme Court ruling on so-called “conversion therapy.”
On Monday, the Democratic governor shared his support for protecting “trans kids” and, in particular, keeping on the books a regulation that effectively bans counselors from assisting gender-confused and same-sex attracted kids.
“Let me be clear: I have no intention of repealing the ban on outdated and dangerous practice of conversion therapy on kids, period, end of story, and no questions,” he said to applause.
The rule did not pass through the legislature after committee hearings, mark-ups, and open debate.

As the vote-count totals crawl across Los Angeles and California, The California Post visited the county’s 144,000-square-foot ballot processing facility Thursday, which showed dozens of empty work stations.
The scene at the warehouse appeared at odds with the mounting pressure to process hundreds of thousands of remaining ballots. County officials announced Wednesday night that just 77,521 additional ballots had been processed since June 2 election night, but an estimated 713,180 ballots are still outstanding. Yet during The Post’s visit, large sections of the facility appeared lightly staffed. Rows of workstations sat empty.
