□ [“Sen. Lindsey Graham Passes Away Unexpectedly at 71 Following 'Sudden Illness'”]

Well Congress exempted themselves from the requirement for a covid vaccine so that's probably not the cause.  I haven't followed his career because we're supposed to ignore politicians so I have nothing to say about that.  There's already the standard comments by right and left-wingers, sad or happy about death.  They'd say that whether they mean it or not.  Until proven otherwise, I'll assume he was a RINO and whatever things he did that I support were exceptions to the rule.  But we will have to see how others react to this.

□ [“McConnell Releases Photo and Statement Amid Hospitalization and Health Mystery"]
□ [“Schiff Announces War Powers Resolution to Limit Trump’s Action in Iran"]

These are the first two immediate reactions I saw.  McConnell needs to give some clue that he's still alive, he's 13 years older than Graham (who just turned 71 a few days ago.)  No actual proof, just an undated photograph and a written statement.  He's staying in office no matter what but claims he's getting better.  How... trustworthy.  His wife is back from China and has also issued a written statement because of course she did.

The fact that Schiff immediately rushed to do something about Iran might be suspicious, in case Graham was an important factor in Trump having leeway.  But it just might be putting on a show that won't mean anything regardless.  Maybe he'd just taking advantage of the fact that two high-ranking Republicans are out of the loop right now.  I doubt this attempt will make any difference with Iran although it might have an effect on Congress's response to it.  At least Iran tv reported their glee that Graham was dead and is now in hell.

□ [“Mick Jagger Rejects Bruce Springsteen’s Antics, Fans Don’t Pay to Be Lectured About Politics"]

I'm sure Mick has many years of experience on this but my first thought was that he made some anti-Trump comment at a concert a few years ago.  The audience didn't like it and he immediately changed the subject but I was surprised that he'd even made that mistake.  No one would ever mistake him for a Street-Fighting Man.

It's kept hidden from the peons but our celebrities are having internal conflict amongst themselves.  I think Mick knows they're not in the winning side here and he's had to deal with Trump at least since the 80s when the Stones did some shows at his casinos.  Or earlier, as far as I know they were both regulars at Studio 54.

But he's trying to put out that their job is to entertain people, not irritate them, lecture or push them away.  I'm far enough away to not know if that's really true anymore.  Does Bruce have any fans left who don't want to be told they hate Trump?  Bruce sold his catalogue to a massive corporation for lots of money so I'm sure he never hears anyone around him disagree but the audience gets a vote too.

It is a bit strange coming from Mick who's done more to destroy western civilization than Springsteen ever did but he also works on a higher level than most people, especially leftists.  He probably figured out a long time ago that if the revolution happens in his lifetime, he'll lose everything and he doesn't really have anything else to offer.  Good businessman for the Stones, good frontman, ymmv on how good a songwriter he is but he has done some good stuff.  And he has the sense to recognize his limitations.

This has got to be pushing people away, even leftists.  He posts how he'll kill any Trump supporter he meets, this isn't a guy who will need evidence that someone supports Trump.  He'll make the decision for everyone.  These people are all across the leftist sphere and they might snap at any moment.  There's a real incentive to get away from these people as soon as possible.

I cited this guy yesterday.  He responds that it was just a suggestion that Trump should be at the negotiating table and not playing golf.  He was telling Iran to go get him as Iran promotes how they want to assassinate him, this isn't a good defense.  But he's clearly no going to accept responsibility for anything, even sending his fans out to follow orders and help Iran.  These people are even more of the problem, they're the ones pushing the killers out to hit the enemy.  The killers are expendable, people like Corcoran have an elitist mentality, they don't think of themselves the same way.

These are all party members, county and state.  They're trying to include a lot of people and I get it, they have very little time to pick a replacement.  I don't know how they could find a better solution that's not a guaranteed loss but they're the ones who put themselves in this situation.  They're still making sure the average Democrat has no say in who will be in charge of them.  All they can do is vote for the party this November.

That's not even counting the need for background checks.  How many candidates do they expect to have in this quickie convention, you going to check all of them?  Not likely.  There's a lot of other candidates who would like to get through the way Platner did and the voters have no reason to trust the results.  Platner got 70% of the primary votes, second place was a chick who had already dropped out of the race.  You can't replace that without a candidate just like Platner.

It just looks like the party is all about installing their chosen ones and the voters just have to comply.  Which isn't that different from Platner's behavior but we also see this with the Democrat Socialists rushing primary victories.  We should also worry how much of that is happening in the Uniparty.  Normal people don't care about these elections because we avoid politics as much as possible which is a handy weapon for politicians to use against us.  Maine is showing how it works as they pretend they aren't doing that.

He's flat-out telling them what they're doing wrong and they're going to ignore that just because they can.  They're ignoring reality and see no way that could go wrong.  I suppose that explains why they always say real communism has never been tried but this is why we cannot put up with these people any longer.  This is why there's the saying 'it's them or us.'

□ [“St. Louis Radio Host J.C. Corcoran Posts Trump Assassination ‘Joke’ on Facebook"]

And they already know that.  I've seen several 'assassination' references from the left and I don't even pay much attention to them.  Others probably can point to more.  I'm guessing they're not worried that the Secret Service will come to check them out, because tyranny or something.  They don't even seem to recognize that they're siding with the mullahs of Iran.  Or if they do, it's the lesser of two evils.  But Iran knows what they're doing and are fine with letting the left do this.

I've noticed that every side seems to be putting out references to Trump dying recently, even Trump himself.  I'm guessing this refers to the fact that someone, or multiple someones, is actively trying to make it happen.  Not just in the sense that every POTUS gets threats but in the sense that efforts are actively underway.  We may find out why Trump supposedly has an impersonater out there at all times.

I only know if it as an example of an early-comic book, it's 70-meters of linen that depicts 58 scenes from the Norman Conquest in 1066.  It covers building up to the invasion, crossing the channel and the Battle of Hastings with the death of King Harold II of England at the hands of William the Conquerer of Normandy.  This was a big deal to England, they now had a new ruler.  And to France, they were the new ruler.  I'm being a bit sarcastic, these were not the England and France that we know, but you can see why their rivalry went back a long time.  William and Harold were distantly related, Harold was the brother-in-law of the king he succeeded, Edward the Confessor.  Edward and William were both decended from Richard I of Normandy.

Of course there's no specific records of the origins, the most likely guess is that it was constructed by some of William's people.  Probably, it's not like the losers had any incentive to celebrate this.  And now it's being brought to the land it conquered.  It's going to be destroyed, isn't it?

Mexico’s First Openly Gay Mayor Slain in Guadalajara
July 11, 2026

Even those who enjoyed watching Supergirl fail have lost interest already.  Over two weeks and it's barely passed $100 million worldwide.  It's probably out of theaters any time now, it'll be on streaming by the end of the month.  I asked the A.I. internet how much streaming costs and it's at least $10 a month, $20+ if you buy it on a version that's out even sooner.  I don't know streaming so I don't care about the details but that's the equivalent of buying a movie ticket anyway.  It's not like there's many people out there who weren't interested in seeing the last hundred years of Warner Bros. movies but really need to pay for Supergirl immediately.

The ads are still prominent on social media which is utterly bizarre.  For other movies by various studios, there were regular ads but they were never so overwhelming every day for months in advance.  Furthermore, when the movie bombed, they stopped.  My only explanation is that a lot of money was put in on ads in advance.  They admit the failure, some of them even question why it happened, but they're not going away.  Even worse, they've already started promoting the next Superman movie which won't be out for another year.  I guess they haven't guaranteed its failure yet.

James Gunn and his people are all speaking out, blaming the audience for everything.  They never explain why women hate women so much that they didn't go see this movie.  They can't identify these mysterious posters on social media who told eight billion people to skip this movie and were obeyed.  Basically they're all coming across as so arrogant that they must be hiding desperation.  Or delusion.  It makes sense to ask why they were put in charge of a studio if they're so stupid and insane but it's Hollywood.

They're still telling us that we need to see this movie to understand what happens in the next Superman.  No one around them is allowed to point out that this just tells people not to see that movie either.  This shows why I think Hollywood is about promoting a cult mentality and Gunn had helped to push this.  We saw this with how he was fired by Marvel for his 'sex with children' tweets but rehired because the cast loves him so much so he came back to make another hit movie before moving to DC.

So the invading forces are free to attack.  How the hell do we allow that?  Why don't we have a bazooka to take down anything that doesn't stop at the checkpoint?  If they were up to any good, they'd obey.  Or even drones, follow them.  Do I have to think of everything?

We haven't heard any stories like this in about a year and a half, the borders were closed.  So why are people still trying to get in?  They might be trying a literal invasion but I don't know who would actually volunteer for that.  But it's also why we need heavier arms for the border guards.

I am quite annoyed by this, how do we have security on the border but so little in the way of defense?  These are invaders!  If they don't survive, that's their problem.  There were better ways to immigrate if that was really what they wanted.  And if they're being trafficked, well, those who sent them in must have considered them expendable.

I like this idea.  We could even start out saying 'we're lying' and then go into on what we can expect with his third term.  It would piss off the left, that's worth it.  And what can they do about it?  They spent all these years saying he was a tyrant, he defies the Constitution, all that stuff, so now we're just going along with them.  This could be entertaining.

They can't argue about that, that would mean saying he's leaving office.  That's not what a tyrant does.  They couldn't say he's not popular enough to do that but we're the ones who support it.  Even when we say this is a lie, they'll ignore that because they hate him so much.  We're just going along with what they said all these years but it'll work out better for us than it did for them.

It might even be workable for MAGA candidates.  They can promote what Trump will do in his third term as they run for office and how they'll work for that.  That could be iffy, opening with the fact that they're lying and then going into their speech but there might be a way to get around that.  Just the outrage from the left could be worth it.

□ [“Democratic Socialists Unveil Radical Plan to Overthrow the U.S. Constitution"]

They're open about it, they want to control and destroy everything.  Congress will have all the authority, they'll erase the Senate and appoint the chief executive and the judges.  They'll also do everything they can to assest foreign nations, universal amnesty for all illegals, no Department of War or overseas military bases or sanctions against other countries.  Because the government's power can never be limited, they'll also have authority to go after anything they decide is pro-capitalist.

There's plenty of problems with this that any sane person could see but the first one that strikes out to me is reducing the government to one house of representatives.  England and Rome are the best examples of that and it still didn't work out too well.  More likely it would follow this groups main inspiration, the Soviet Union where the Communist Party had all the leaders.  They picked who was on the Central Committee who answered to the Politboro who obviously needed their Secretary.  Because leftism uber alles.  You can't run a coherent group with hundreds of members, that's why our founding fathers established three separate branches.

This will largely be an anchor for leftists.  They openly want to get rid of the Constitution so anybody who calls themselves a "Democrat" is obligated to oppose that.  Even if they don't, they still need to handle their fellow Democrats who do.  They're going to need to answer direct questions about this and our side has men-with-guns who expect the worst.  And don't forget the military who's there to protect the Constitution, you don't think they have defense plans ready?

This could be a good move or it might be a waste of time.  Apparently we are hitting them hard, I haven't heard if we hit even harder the following day like Trump said we would.  Iran has been sending missiles and drones to hit Bahrain, Kuwait and Jordan.  I still cannot figure out why they're doing this.  It seems too random to work as a 'show of force' and as far as we know, they haven't hit anything big either so it's not going to change anybody's minds.

As for the possible waste of time, that's obvious.  Every day that passes helps the mullahs.  Maybe we've delayed it so long because it would require troops on the ground, you can understand why that's the last resort, but it's still irritating that they haven't been removed yet.  Just take them off the board and we'll see what happens next.

And he made a point to end the letter with “F*ck ICE.  Free Palestine.  Up the Hearts.”  That's how sane he is.  There was some worry that he wouldn't officially withdraw, he had to do it by 5PM on Monday or Democrats would be stuck with him still on the ballot.  That was a believable possibility but I doubted it, the party would kick him out no matter what it took.

But it doesn't solve their problems.  The party still needs to explain how they were unanimously fooled by someone who'd already been repeatedly accused.  The New York Times was informed about by the most-recent accuser and refused to tell anybody?  They just had to defend the guy with a nazi tattoo.  This would be a good opportunity for the Democrat Socialist party to look good but they were on his side already.

The higher-ups need to show that they aren't keeping too many secrets and this is not a good start.  They wasted $16 million on this guy, they can't just give that to his replacement.  Then there's still the problem of picking that replacement, even leftist sites aren't happy about how Harris was just picked.  I still think that was all intensional but if I'm right, that's probably what they're doing now.  Can't do a real primary so how are they going to fake it?

Oh racism, is there anything it can't do?  We're seeing something happen with these Democrat primaries.  I haven't figured out the pattern and it's tough to tell who's being more leftist than who but we've already seen several party members get their plans thrown away.

Swalwell was in the House but was running for California governor.  It wasn't clear if he was was guaranteed to be installed as Newsom's replacement but his chances were very good.  Then women who had stayed quiet for going-on 15 years of his time in the House suddenly accused him last April and that was that.  We just saw that happen with Platner.  He had never held office but somehow was very popular among leftists who had.

With Crockett, she's still in the House but went with the stereotype of wanting to get promoted to a higher office.  But she lost the Texas primary to a white gay leftist who is really focused on children.  I'm sure he'll win the leftist vote but not the black vote which almost guarantees the loss.  A lot of non-white Democrats really don't want to vote for gays but are never attacked as "phobic" for some reason.  But this guy was promoted by national media and Stephen Colbert's talkshow.

There are other examples, Al Green can't be carried by black voters because of redistricting so he has no chance of winning.  I think this is also connected to how the old politicians are really old and the young want to overthrow them, especially the Democrat Socialist movement.  Then there's all the changes the Trump administration has managed to make although it's not clear if they have a specific plan or if it's more about causing chaos.  There's also the L.A. mayoral race where a Republican came in second until the votes had been counted often enough for the chick who'd already dropped out to suddenly beat him.

It's taken them four f*ing years to get this far?  The sort of people you want to conscript should be a bit more aggressive.  As always, I'll assume this won't go anywhere and we definitely won't hear any liberals complaining about the draft.  They still haven't complained that only one of the dozens and dozens of genders they believe in gets picked, like they aren't really about gender equality.

But the rulers of Ukraine and their western allies should be worried.  Just the lack of compliance is a big problem.  If they won't just obey when you send them off to die for the country, they might find other reasons to dissent.  That's not even the worst, all these years Europeans have been told to support Ukrainians.  They weren't told to support the government against the people, that might cause problems at home.

At least in a free society, the population finds their own established forms of speech and communication.  It's easily-available so no one cares much about it.  A tyranny is different, which Ukraine has many years of experience with.  People who aren't allowed to say what they think - "stop fighting Russia!" - will find other ways to express themselves or just withdraw from society altogether.  Even in the west, we've seen similar results for years and it's only starting to change now.  Ukraine has had war, tyranny, leftism and centuries of Russian history building up to this.  They need to silence the population immediately or it could explode.

Anyway, I'm basically complaining about how Trump is demonstrating the threat of communism.  I think we've actually been getting an effective demonstration in the last couple years and that probably matters more than Trump does, but why bother saying this if he can't describe it better?  I know, there are other issues.  He is the leader and individualism isn't really something you can inspire for everyone.  At least he's identifying the threat.

This may explain why there's been at least a little noise about stopping the invasion.  I think some individual nations are looking for ways to get out of the trap.  There's a slight glimmer of hope but no way to know if they have any chance of winning, or even how they could do that?  Short of grabbing guns and shooting all the invaders, what other options are there?

I hope he's not teasing us but it's Trump so I'll be negative.  Should have said this months ago but he has to be the 'negotiator!!!'  Anyway he started hitting Iran last night - not sure what time zone 'last night' refers to - and he has already said we'll be hitting them tonight.  If any of the mullahs or major players in the IRGC are still alive this weekend, it means Trump has failed.

And because they're Iran, they didn't bother to fight back against the US attacking, instead they sent out some missiles and drones to US bases in Bahrain and Kuwait.  No word on if that caused any damage.  They also hit some ships on the Strait but that's normal.  I really want to think this was always part of the plan, hit Iran hard, give them a couple months to think about it, then hit them again.  But then I thought the mullahs would be dead by April so don't take my word for it.

Trump is reporting this at the NATO meeting in Turkey, which means he's not that far away, a little over a thousand miles from Tehran.  To the extent we still have an alliance, this meeting is probably about planning what to do next.  Zelensky attended but there was officially no talk about Ukraine and Russia.  He did make sure to insult European leaders, saying they love him so much, and bring up that he's still interested in the US taking Greenland.  Just another example that even when he's doing stuff we like, he's still Trump.

Another day passes and still no sign that he's dropped out yet.  We know he will, there's no other options.  I know the party, state if not national, has rules about this.  He won the primary, he's the nominee and the rules only cover things like death or something, but the party doesn't need to follow the rules.  They'll find a way to get him out, no matter what.

But there will still be several big problems.  First of all, what is he going to do about being kicked out?  He comes from a wealthy family and only pretended to be poor, the leftist leaders were all fine with that.  This suggests they really did know what he does and they support that too, so they're already going to be questioned about this.  The answer is obvious, he pushes leftism and that all you need to get power with this party but they can't say that in public.

Right now the vetting looks to be the big deal, why didn't anybody check?  The best answer is that 'he said what we wanted to hear so we believed him without question.'  Otherwise it's 'we knew about it, we just didn't care.'  The longer they hold out on this, the worse it looks for everybody.  Who else did they let get by with this sort of vetting that just hasn't been caught yet?

And I'm sure this won't go anywhere but it's worth thinking about, Planter is on the defensive.  He didn't get this far by not being devoted to the cause and leftism is all about feeling oppressed and under attack no matter how rich and powerful you get.  He was willing to pretend he was poor and the party leaders knew it.  He can start gushing out their secrets.  Or worse, take things to the end, effectively suicide bombing the party.  If he doesn't see any other option, there's very little to stop him.  I'm sure the party will kick him out any day now but they should consider that as one of the possibilities.

I knew he'd been out for a while but I just realized today that it was back in mid-June when he was gone.  Yet-another high-ranking politician who gets to skip work for weeks and barely anybody notices.  There's quite a few of those in Congress these days, although there seems to be fewer every day.  For most of my life I've only supported term-limits for POTUS but there are very solid arguments to include Congress.

What do these people get out of this?  To an extent there's lust for power, ok, but that doesn't really come across for Congress.  They make decisions and see no actual results, even as they have to deal with 534 others like them.  They can get wealth and power for family-members, that's something, but sitting in endless meetings, negotiating or blackmailing back and forth?  I really can't understand the mentality that wants to do that, especially with age and health problems like this.

Then there's the way they know they're blocking the door for anyone else to replace them, younger, healthier, more in touch with the kids are into these days.  There's always going to be generational war about that.  At least in the old days, most people spent their lives without much attention to the government.  That's what freedom does but that's not Congress.

□ [“Platner Drop Outs of Maine Senate Race Amid Explosive Rape Allegations"]

I was pretty sure that soon I would write an article about how he hadn't dropped out yet and then the next time I checked he'd dropped out.  The party has already announced that they'll have a "representative, transparent and inclusive process to select a new nominee" so they probably already have him picked.  We'll see if the voters have any say in the matter.

My guess is they won't, Maine will quickly go silent.  For the most part they've realized they'll lose in November.  They'll also be asked how they got into this mess and, if anyone is permitted, they'll be asked if Platner got to choose his replacement like he wanted.  And that's all before November when they have to do something to promote the new candidate who wasn't their first choice and may not have even been in the primary.

I'm guessing this will go away very quickly.  The Democrats and the media who all supported Platner have been told to stop and they'll obey.  At this point we should know that they're not going to loudly challenge any of the decisions being made, unless instructed to.  But this won't help the replacement candidate this November, leftists do have a tendency to go quiet when things are going wrong, the 'politically-obsessed' equivalent of 'let the others fight it out.'  That said, it would be really nice if a large number of the party were pissed off at being strung around like this and let their leaders know.

□ [“Top GOP Leaders Say They’ve Spoken with McConnell Amid Rumors He is ‘Brain Dead’"]

There's his age, there his health problems, there's his Chinese wife, nothing about this sounds good.  I'm guessing Trump will come out in a day or two saying they've spoken, he's still alive, that's how this usually goes.  And of course we have no reason to believe any of it.

There's also no reason to think we'll ever know the truth no matter what.  He doesn't need to be brain-dead, it's absolutely believable that he's comatose or no longer alive.  His fellow RINOs would lie to keep that secret, that's what they're paid for.  Or his Chinese masters needed to remove him for some reason.  Or someone who opposed his Chinese masters attacked.  Or he was sacrificed for a demon-worshipping cult, who knows?  Not us.

Then there's the timing.  His wife needed to rush to China.  To report what happened to her husband or is that why he was hit, because she wasn't around?  With everything else going on, it would probably be easy to come up with a couple dozen conspiracy theories just based on what's known right now and no reason to think any of them would be connected to the truth.  He's 84 years old and has been in the Senate since I was in grade school, the conspiracies theories write themselves.

□ [“Stephen King Hopes Graham Platner Doesn’t Drop Out"]

“Tell you what–if you knew the whole truth about everyone in the Senate and House of Reps, those chambers would be dead empty.  Jesus said, “Let him without sin cast the first stone.”

One of those things that make me assume there's an established 'new world order' that still keeps itself hidden from the rest of us and celebrities like King are part of it.  This is one reason old, rich, white males like him are so obsessed with the government.  He presents himself like he is fully aware of what "everyone" in Congress is doing but sees no reason to just say what it is.  I keep calling it "demon-worshipping cult," three words, King wouldn't need much more to explain what he's talking about.

It's quite entertaining to watch how Democrats are fighting over this.  They have to deal with Eric Swalwell and Andrew Cuomo just this year.  This is why they're being threatened by the Democrat Socialist party taking over.  Some leftists are asking why they didn't check Platner's background, others ask why they believed him, others push that he must be supported because voting for "D" is all that matters.

Then they're all being reminded of what happened in 2024.  A lot of leftists regret ditching Biden although for some reason Kamala Harris is still entirely blameless for everything, she's not allowed to hold any responsibility.  But that's still the problem, how do they ditch the guy they've tied themselves to for so long and find a replacement?  Well that's the way you wanted it.

They're supposed to be a "big tent" which allows all these different viewpoints to function.  Usually everybody automatically follows leftism but now they're watching leftism attack itself.  I'm remembering the later weeks of Occupy Wall Street back in 2011, a smaller version of what they're now going through.  Different groups of freaks who realized they weren't getting anywhere and had nobody else to turn on but each other.  If there had been any sane people at the start, they were gone.

I've always seen this as a training exercise for radical leftists and wondered where they went when the winter showed up and OWS closed down.  Most likely they all went to jobs in the party but they still have the same mentality.  Or if they've gotten wealthy and lazy, their replacements have that mentality.

□ [“US Military Launches Powerful Strikes Against Iran"]

Wow, this has really fallen off the radar.  It's weird but it almost seems normal.  We aren't having any casualties and gas prices are still going down.  I'm still complaining that Trump hasn't gotten rid of the mullahs yet in all this time but then there's the way they're basically helpless.  Will Iranians finally step up to do something?  No way to know.  For that matter, why doesn't Congress bother complaining about this?

Talks are going on in Doha although I don't expect that to go anywhere.  Iran is still hitting ships in the Strait, or at least trying to.  What is that supposed to do?  It causes a bit of damage but has little effect otherwise and weren't they supposed to allow free travel through the Strait?  I'm not even sure what to say, it's just so strange that we're in a war like this.

□ [“Trump Goes Off on NATO During Turkey Summit, Suggests Withdrawing Troops from Europe"]

Then there's this, Trump's still trying to piss off NATO.  I have no idea if he's doing it so they'll start taking some responsibility or so they'll give him an excuse to leave.  Maybe it's just Trump being Trump but as with everything else, he doesn't give us any straightforward goal to aim towards.  NATO may not really qualify as an "ally" anymore but there are still Europeans who want to ally with freedom and western civilization, what are we doing to help them?  At this point, they're in basically the same situation as Iranians whom at least we're helping to inspire.

□ [“Platner Aide Has Ultimatum for Democrats Should the Candidate Drop Out of the Race"]

I was holding this off as late as possible, just in case he caved in at some point today.  Doesn't look like that's going to happen although I think all the big-names who've endorsed him have withdrawn.  They never explain how they were so easily to fool, he said what they wanted to hear and that's all they needed.  Good thing the most recent accuser came out in time or they'd be stuck with Planter.

But Planter has a demand, he'll only drop out if he gets to pick his replacement.  Ok, that's funny.  There's no way the party could go along with that.  They'll easily take him out, sure, but every day that passes is less time to pick a replacement.  They'd still need to do at least as much of a background check as they did for Platner.  Not enough time left to do a better one so they're stuck with what they get.  Or they could just stick with this guy.

The only reason I could see them allowing Platner to pick his replacement is if they'd given up on this election entirely.  Even that would require them to be out of time to pick a replacement.  The whole point is to gain power so they need to push as hard as they can while they have the chance.  That's how we know Platner will be pushed out and will not get to pick his replacement.  He might get a vote on it in private but for all intents and purposes, he'll be gone in a day or three.

But Democrats need this over with ASAP and not just to pick the replacement.  They spent all this time promoting him despite all the previous accusations, the nazi tattoo, all of it.  This time the female accuser is a leftist so she can't just be ignored so easily.  But the media did try to ignore her, they already knew about it.  It's suggesting that the 'inner party' or 'deep state' knew a lot more about him than they wanted us to know so they're getting desperate for this to go away.

□ [“Graham Platner Abruptly Cancels Town Hall Events as New Damaging Info is About to Emerge"]

The party had all this time to do 'opposition research.'  You'd certainly expect them to ask the candidate if there are any secrets they need to know in advance to prepare for this.  Which provokes the possibility that he told the party about this and none of them saw anything wrong with it.  Or those who appointed the party members he told saw nothing wrong with it.  I think it's a Maine policy or a party policy, there's only about a week left to confirm who the candidate will be this November.  The party supported overthrowing the incumbent for this?

If you recall, Platner was the guy who had other issues like this, hates cops but loved Totenkopf enough to get their tattoo.  He's been endorsed by Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren, Tim Walz, David Hogg, Stephen King and many other prominent Democrats.  Either they knew exactly what they were getting or they are very easy to fool and should not be allowed to vote.

The accusation is standard non-consensual sex with an ex-girlfriend.  Even leftists are admitting there's a problem with "believe all women."  They're also pissed off that they've been stuck with him.  Some of them even question why this all suddenly came out now, which is a valid point.  For them the issue should by why their party is so gullable and why it's so obvious to candidates like this.  I'm more curious about who is setting this up and why.

For the last few days there has been a number of stories about spies in various organizations, mostly Democrat but a few Republicans.  I didn't pay much attention so I don't know any details and ignored them in general but I was curious about the notion.  The Washington Post just reported that the FBI has had a mole in Gavin Newsom's organization since June 2024.  No idea why this would be reported but that's the sort of thing I'm curious about here.

And that's why I want to know who scheduled this, especially with Democrats being taken over by Democrat Socialists.  Somebody was waiting and ready for this to happen.  The most likely candidate is the Trump administration but I'd like to see more of this before coming to a conclusion.

□ [“Maine Democrat Party, High-Profile Dems Withdraw Endorsements, Platner Must Drop Out of Race"]

Wow, that was quick.  He might hold on for a day or two but the ending is already in place.  I did misread the primaries, he defeated the Maine female governor because he knows how to beat a woman.  The goal is to beat the Republican woman who's been Senator since Bill Clinton's second term.

The left is going back and forth on this.  One commenter said the "D" on his name was all that mattered and they could deal with him after he gains power.  Only one post on the thread I was reading but that mentality is so much of the problem they're dealing with now.  It's a snapshot on the collectivist mentality and I'm wondering how much of that lines up with big corporations, trademarks and their logos.

There's also the fact that they've been trying to find some way to appeal to male voters.  This guy was one of their most prominent examples.  One might ask why they keep trying to fake *real men* but then you realize that they can't get real men to side with Democrats.  Understandable, they don't know what a woman is either but they keep chanting support for "women's rights."  Never anything about "men's rights."

Even worse, they're surrounded by established media and Hollywood for this.  Pedro Pascal was supposed to be the new 'modern man' in a Marvel and Star Wars movie, that hasn't gone well for anyone.  Platner's accusor had even called the New York Times and reported this to them.  They had the information and kept it hidden because that's how fair they are.  This is how you wind up with candidates like this.  It's also why decent people don't want anything to do with politics.  It's also why liberals want everything to be about politics.

NATO Summit Kicks Off in Ankara, Turkey - No Zelensky Speech, the Ukraine Issue Sidelined

□ [“California Democrat Pushes to Add Muslim Holy Days to State Holidays"]

They can't accept Christmas or Easter holidays but they demand Muslim holidays.  Not even going to go for a different name, "Winter" or "Spring holiday," they're openly celebrating the last day of Ramadan and the end of the Hajj pilgrimage to Mecca.  Because that's what liberals want everyone to learn about.

It might be interesting to see how they argue this as an annual holiday considering Muslims don't use the solar calendar.  You'd think that would stop this but they'll find a way around it.  If you can demand everybody accept your made-up gender, you can certainly demand they accept the lunar calendar so you can celebrate your religious holidays.  The government is fine with this.  Otherwise Muslims might not vote Democrat.

While on the opposite side of the country, they're rushing towards the same goal.  As always, I have to wonder how many Democrats really are Muslim and just hide it from the infidel, or how many aren't and fall for it.  But I also have to wonder why Trump has repeatedly posted praise for Allah.  This doesn't look good any way you go.

□ [“National Education Association Demands to Impeach and Convict Trump – Plans National March on D.C."]

They really think this is going to work.  They want this big march before the midterms but have no clue when it will happen.  This is the 'old white women' we've seen at the local protests for over a year now, they didn't go anywhere either.  But they have already estimated this march will cost $5.2 million in union dues.  Say whattt???

My guess is these people are just puppets.  Either this protest is going to be a toy for someone else to use or these are just lazy leftists.  Maybe someone needs to get the $5.2 million for personal or professional reasons.  This might go somewhere or it might be worthless leftists who think they can do anything.  We'll probably find out when/if other groups start announcing that they'll be part of this.

Election Day is a target date although they might be striking a week or month before.  They really believe they're an army at war so they could very well be planning an actual attack.  Probably on DC although they may have others trying something elsewhere.  Or the left will be staring at this, hoping it'll save the day and life goes on as normal for the rest of us.
