With the latest allegations against Graham Platner, Democrats in Maine are scrambling to find a candidate to replace him on the ballot this fall.
One name that has been floated is Troy Jackson, a far left Maine Democrat who also ran for governor of the state.
There’s just one problem. There are allegations of assault against a woman by Troy Jackson too. You could not make this up.
Amazingly, the allegations against Jackson were uncovered and published by a leftist group which doesn’t want Democrats to make the same mistake they did with Platner.
Virginia rolled hard toward gun control this year. Never mind that Gov. Abigail Spanberger ran as a moderate, said little to nothing about guns during her campaign, said she was about affordability, and then took office and did nothing about the cost of living. Instead, she tried to redistrict the state--something she expressly said she wouldn't do--and tried to take everyone's guns away. I was ready to hold onto Cam's guns for him if he needed it, but thankfully, that hasn't been necessary.
Part of the reason it's not necessary is because of grandfather clauses thankfully, but another part is that everything Spanberger's tried has blown up in her face spectacularly.
The radical Left’s desperate scheme to flood American elections with illegal non-citizen votes just hit a massive, Trump-shaped brick wall in Florida.
A Trump-appointed federal judge in Florida has OVERRULED a highly controversial order by a far-left, foreign-born activist judge in Washington D.C., officially REINSTATING President Donald Trump’s powerhouse election security system.
The Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements (SAVE) system upgrades, which allow patriot states to instantly screen voter rolls and purge illegal aliens, is back online.
Last March, President Trump signed an executive order aimed at preserving and protecting the integrity of US elections.

Before I take a (well-deserved) victory lap, a confession: My predictive accuracy rate for Democrats is astronomically high, yet I’ve whiffed quite a bit predicting President Donald Trump’s next moves. (Certainly didn’t have Greenland, the Iran War ceasefire, or the White House ballroom on my bingo card.) But there’s an excellent reason why the Donkeys are so much easier to predict: The Democrats rely on traditional PR tactics, so if you figure out why a competent PR pro would play that card, it unmasks their entire agenda. After all, PR tactics aren’t random; they’re based on cause and effect.
It was a direct violation of the “memorandum of understanding” (MOU) between the two countries, according to the U.S., and the resulting American military response was roughly eight times larger than the earlier strikes on June 27, after Iran also attacked commercial shipping.
The Treasury Department also reimposed sanctions on Iranian oil sales, hitting them where it hurts: in the wallet. All this is going on as the seemingly endless, week-long funeral for the very dead former Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei rambles on.
The ceasefire looks increasingly tenuous, as our Ward Clark reported earlier Tuesday:

DHS to restore voter verification features

federal judge in Florida on Tuesday ordered the Department of Homeland Security to restore some of the key features of its Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements system, which states use to verify citizenship and immigration status for voter rolls.
The ruling overturns a D.C. judge's ruling, who determined that the SAVE system's features, including a feature that allowed workers to verify citizenship status through a resident's social security number, violated the Social Security Act and Privacy Act by improperly aggregating and using Americans’ personal data.
The SAVE system was enhanced under the Trump administration to better support state election integrity efforts, including maintenance of state voter rolls.
Far-left Muslim Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed is facing renewed scrutiny after newly surfaced audio revealed him explicitly supporting efforts to defund police departments. In his previous interviews, El-Sayed has denied ever calling to defund the police, arguing that his old social media posts were misrepresented after being taken out of context. But recordings from 2020 tell a different story. In one interview from June 2020, El-Sayed said he believed police funding should be reduced while more taxpayer dollars should be directed toward schools, mental health services, and anti-poverty programs.
CENTCOM said the strikes were intended to impose “heavy costs” on Iran for targeting civilian-crewed commercial shipping in an international waterway, describing the attacks as “unwarranted” and “dangerous.” The operation came as Washington and Tehran were implementing a memorandum of understanding aimed at ending months of regional conflict and restoring safe navigation through the strategic waterway. The escalation followed a series of Iranian attacks on commercial vessels transiting the Strait of Hormuz over Monday and Tuesday, including a Qatari liquefied natural gas tanker and a Saudi tanker, prompting condemnations from Gulf states,
The Treasury Department revoked a sanctions waiver issued on June 21 that had temporarily allowed transactions involving Iranian crude oil, petroleum products, and petrochemicals. Under the new guidance, companies have until July 17 to wind down transactions previously authorized under the waiver. The original authorization had been set to remain in effect through Aug. 21.
The waiver was issued as part of a ceasefire memorandum of understanding (MOU) reached between the United States and Iran following months of conflict. A U.S. official said the agreement was always contingent on Iran’s behavior.

Maine Democrat candidate Graham Platner is refusing to drop out of the Senate race after being accused of rape unless he gets to approve his successor, the New York Post reported Tuesday.
The political winds shifted decidedly against the Maine Democrat Monday, after the latest sexual abuse allegations dropped in POLITICO.
A woman who once dated Platner, a fellow Democrat, told the outlet that he broke into her house and “forced her to have sex with him nearly five years ago despite her repeated objections.”
Platner called the allegations “categorically false,” but stated he would be pausing his campaign nonetheless.
California Democrats spent years trying to strangle ICE detention in their state. Trump's DHS just spent $1.5 billion to make sure that doesn't work.
President Donald Trump's Department of Homeland Security has purchased two of the largest ICE detention facilities in California, securing more than 4,500 detention beds in a state where Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) has made blocking immigration enforcement a signature political cause. CoreCivic, the nation's largest private prison and detention operator, announced Monday that DHS completed the purchase on July 2 of the 2,560-bed California City Detention Facility and the 1,994-bed Otay Mesa Detention Center in San Diego,

The USA's World Cup dream came to an end in Seattle as Belgium cruised into the last eight with a 4-1 victory; Charles De Ketelaere scored twice in the first half, while Hans Vanaken and Romelu Lukaku added further goals after the break to book a quarter-final meeting with Spain. The PR circus surrounding FIFA's decision to rescind Folarin Balogun's red card and Donald Trump's involvement in the supposedly independent process had dominated the headlines ahead of the last-16 clash in Seattle. However, it appeared only to galvanise Belgium as they thrashed USA 4-1 to book a quarter-final with Spain.
BANGOR, Maine — Maine author Stephen King appears to be standing behind Graham Platner, even as the Senate candidate faces allegations of sexual assault and growing calls to end his campaign. Posting on 'X' shortly after POLITICO published testimony from a Maine woman who accused Platner of assaulting her in 2021, the prolific horror writer wrote "Graham Platner may drop out. I hope he doesn't, but." King then went on to reference President Donald Trump, and the numerous sexual misconduct allegations he has faced over the years, calling him the "Abuser in Chief." President Trump has consistently denied several public allegations

Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) is alert and has taken phone calls, discussing a variety of topics, according to reports.
CNN’s Scott Jennings said he spoke with his “old friend” McConnell on Tuesday morning, asserting that they discussed a variety of topics for nearly 20 minutes.
He wrote, “I spoke to my old friend Mitch McConnell this morning, the senior Senator from Kentucky. He’s still recovering in the hospital. We talked for just shy of 20 minutes … about IRAN, UKRAINE, the unfolding situation in MAINE, my visit to the TR Presidential Library, and even a little bit of Senate history.”
There aren’t many political mysteries from 2016 that still have the power to set the internet on fire like the unsolved murder of DNC staffer Seth Rich.The official theory is that the 27-year-old was shot near his D.C. home during a botched robbery. His family has rejected all claims that he was somehow connected to WikiLeaks or murdered because of his work at the DNC, and they’ve asked people not to politicize their son’s death.
But the questions never went away, mostly because so many details surrounding the case are

"Warning: The exhibits in this museum were prepared by people who don't want you to love your country." (snip) Yet Anthea Hartig, director of the museum today, has other priorities, including using history as a "prime tool of social justice."
Hartig is white, but rather than punishing herself for her "privilege," she's trying to lay a guilt trip on the whole country, using taxpayer dollars to "problematize" the history she's supposed to preserve.
(snip) can the public trust that responsibility to someone like Hartig, who claims to have been "propped up ... by the cushions of whiteness and the pillows of the bourgeoisie"?
An Inspector General audit of the Minority Business Development Agency’s flagship program found that 96 percent of the reviewed transactions should not have been approved, revealing a stunning lack of oversight at the now-defunct agency and raising questions about what will happen if Democrats revive the program.
The November 2025 audit, which has not been previously reported, reviewed $16 billion in transactions approved by the MBDA business center program, a network of federally funded consultancies, public and private, aimed at supporting minority-owned businesses, which had to be at least 51 percent minority-owned to qualify for services. The audit found that $15.4 billion of the $16 billion in transactions reviewed
Two structural support beams on the 21st floor of a 38-story under-construction building in Manhattan started buckling Tuesday morning, triggering a mass evacuation, street closures and a large emergency response, officials say.
The FDNY said it got a call around 8 a.m. about bricks falling from the building at 235 East 42nd Street, between Second and Third avenues. The NYPD says it got a 911 call about the incident less than 15 minutes later.
[snip]
Raw footage from inside, taken by a construction worker, showed crumbling steel beams on the 21st floor.
President Trump has reacted to the rise of the Democratic Socialists of America by sounding the alarm about communism, which greatly upset Associated Press fact-checker Melissa Goldin on Thursday because, according to her, only card-carrying members of the Communist Party USA can be called communists.
Goldin cited two Trump quotes. The first was, “It’s the biggest threat to our country, including World War I, World War II, Pearl Harbor, September 11th.” The second was referring to Democrats as “hard core, godless communists.”
She also lamented, “But experts say

During an interview aired on Monday’s broadcast of CNN’s “The Lead,” Jenny Racicot, who is accusing Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Graham Platner of rape, said that “I really agree with his politics. I think we need somebody with those political stances and who are willing to do the work. And I see his political videos. They get me fired up as well. I understand why people want someone like him in office.” And that is one reason she was reluctant to come forward.
Host Jake Tapper asked, “There are going to be people, maybe even his campaign, certainly his supporters, who say this is politically motivated. What would you say to
Iran’s Revolutionary Guards fired at least two missiles at commercial ships transiting through the Strait of Hormuz on Monday night, Axios reported, citing two US officials.
Two commercial ships suffered significant damage but had no casualties, the report said, citing a US official.
Separately, Britain’s maritime security agency said a tanker caught fire after being hit by an unknown projectile east of Oman’s Limah early on Tuesday.
The big Oil Companies are not dropping their price at the pump commensurate with the sharply lower prices they are paying for Oil. Those prices are dropping like a rock! In other words, customers are being ‘gouged.’ I have instructed the DOJ to immediately start looking into this. Gasoline prices better start going down a lot faster than what I’m seeing!”
That was President Donald Trump on June 24 in a post on Truth Social, stating he had ordered the Justice Department to investigate alleged price gouging at the gas pump, noting oil prices are falling faster than gasoline. The implication is there might be illegal price collusion.
Republican Kentucky Sen. Mitch McConnell’s office sent an email Tuesday that included a compilation of statements from senators and acquaintances claiming they spoke to the former majority leader for similar lengths of time and discussed related topics.
McConnell’s office provided no new details on his health despite his nearly month long hospitalization. Several of McConnell’s colleagues and acquaintances, including Senate Majority Leader John Thune and CNN senior political commentator Scott Jennings, made similar statements about McConnell that McConnell’s staff later shared in an email obtained by the Daily Caller News Foundation.
