Say, What Happens If Platner ... Stays?

Yesterday, Graham Platner denied allegations made by Jenny Racicot of rape, but then announced that he would take some time to mull over his options. At the time, Platner had already cancelled his upcoming events before the July 13 deadline to withdraw his nomination as the Democrat candidate for US Senate from Maine. His withdrawal from the race appeared imminent, so much so that Polymarket actually shut down the betting pool on it. Well, it has been 24 hours since then, and ... all is quiet on the Totenkopf Front. Platner has lost almost every endorser in the race, and the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee announced

Now they turn on Nazi-tattooed alleged rapist Graham Platner?
After all these months of defending him and making excuses — knowing full well what a repugnant dirtbag he is?
Let’s be honest: At this late date, the accusation that Platner raped an ex-girlfriend should shock absolutely no one. And that it took so long for Dems to cut him off speaks volumes.
Indeed, the only reason they’re deserting him now is not that they’ve finally grown a moral spine; it’s that they fear his grotesque character won’t fly with normal voters.
Not only would a continued Platner campaign for Maine’s US Senate seat almost certainly fail; voters nationwide may now realize
It's on. The United States Central Command (CENTCOM) has launched a wave of new attacks on Iran, following the rogue nation's attacks on commercial CENTCOM reports:
U.S. Central Command forces have begun launching a series of powerful strikes against Iran to impose heavy costs for targeting and attacking commercial shipping crewed by innocent civilians in an international waterway. The U.S. strikes are in response to Iranian attacks on three commercial vessels that were transiting the Strait of Hormuz. Iran’s demonstrated aggression was unwarranted, dangerous, and a clear violation of the ceasefire.
It's unclear so far just what targets in Iran were hit,shipping in the Strait of Hormuz.
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
Zohran Mamdani and his cohort are just the first.
America’s commies — spearheaded by the Democratic Socialists of America — are running the same play across the nation that they’ve run in New York.
Even in places you’d never expect, like my home in eastern Tennessee. Their latest election success came in Colorado, where Gen Z socialist Melat Kiros ousted 15-term incumbent Rep. Diana DeGette (D-Col.) in last week’s Democratic primary.
It was another win for the cadre of far-left candidates (many born outside the US) who are much more radical — and much more anti-Israel — than the Democrats they’re replacing. Kiros benefited from the DSA’s strategy of targeting low-turnout
While embattled Maine U.S. Senate candidate Graham Platner has denied the recent sexual assault allegations made against him, the prominent Democrats who pushed the accused with an alleged Nazi tattoo to win their party’s nomination will be immortalized below.
Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY):
As Senate Minority leader, Schumer’s endorsement of Platner was one of the most important he received. A week before the Mainer won the Democrat primary in early June, Schumer said he was the party’s best chance at beating incumbent Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME).
When asked by reporters if he still supported Platner after he had been widely criticized for his Nazi chest tattoo

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
Republican Lyndsey Fifield is accusing the New York Times of deliberately downplaying her abuse allegations against Democratic Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner, one day after another woman came forward with sexual abuse allegations against the scandal-plagued candidate.
“The line most shared from the piece was the claim that the Times ‘could not corroborate’ my story despite talking to two of my friends,” Fifield said in a statement on X.
She said that the Times called two of her friends who would not have known specifically about the abuse but could confirm that she and Platner had been in a relationship.

Targeting Trump, Americans as Warren Staffer
Attends Funeral 13 replies
Since the Iranian regime has a massive price on Donald Trump's head, regime supporters attending Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei's funeral held hit list signs targeting Trump and other Americans. And yet a former campaign staffer for Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) attended the funeral for the mass-murdering terrorist dictator.
The funeral of eliminated Iranian mass murderer, terrorist, and Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei gathered the most despicable dictators, jihadis, and dirtbags from across the Middle East and around the world. It also brought out the Iranian regime’s supporters in Tehran who, like Khamenei, want “death to America and Israel.”
Full disclosure: I have very little knowledge of the game of soccer, and only a mild jingoistic interest in it when Team USA wins in its international competitions. Until the past week, I couldn't tell a red card from a red wedding, except that the howls of fury for the former easily exceeded those of the latter. My biggest takeaway from futbol is that LeBron James learned his ref-manipulating flops from the best in the business.
With all of that said, however, even I have caught a mild case of World Cup fever, as the American men's team has delivered a surprisingly dominant performance – so far.

Graham Platner, the scandal-plagued progressive military veteran, said Monday he is reflecting on the best path forward for his Maine Senate campaign after another allegation of sexual misconduct was raised against the troubled Democrat.
Platner’s announcement comes after he canceled several events over the July 4 weekend as rumors spread that a “very damaging allegation” would be coming out against the already troubled candidate.
On Monday, Politico reported on allegations made by Platner’s former girlfriend that he “forced
Now that the Democratic Socialists of America are sweeping into power and beginning to displace the Organized Crime Democrats as the key leaders of the Democratic Party, some elements of the Pravda Media are working hard to claim that the DSA is not filled with communists.
It's true that there are people who call themselves "socialists" who are not, at least precisely, communists. The DSA used to work hard to keep the communist revolutionaries out of the party. But first, that was decades ago, before the revolutionary communists swamped the people who liked the Nordic model of the 60s and 70s (which they gave up decades ago, denationalizing industries

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

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.

Raw footage from inside, taken by a construction worker, showed crumbling steel beams on the 21st floor.

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.

The Smithsonian's Patriotism Problem

"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"?
Disgraced former politician Andrew Gillum, a one-time Democratic Party rising star and CNN political commentator, has been arrested in Alabama for allegedly having drugs, according to records.
Gillum – who narrowly lost to Ron DeSantis in the 2018 gubernatorial election – was arrested Thursday in Daphne before being booked for possession of dangerous drugs, [snip]
His run-in with the law comes six years after he was found inebriated inside Miami Beach’s Mondrian hotel room alongside a male escort and three bags of suspected crystal meth.
In 2022, Gillum was accused of conspiring with his mentor, Sharon Lettman-Hicks, to divert campaign contributions for personal use.
A Midtown high-rise was evacuated Tuesday morning after massive beams inside the under-construction building started buckling — sending some floors caving in and bricks raining down under the crushing strain.
The 38-story commercial building at 235 East 42nd Street was cleared around 8:11 a.m. after construction workers spotted two faulty support beams bending and starting to give way on the 21st and 22nd floors, according to the NYPD and FDNY.
Fire officials said floors between the 21st and 26th floors were sagging from the pressure.
