. . .the Twelvers want Apocalypse Now, and if they must nuke Jerusalem or Paris, so be it. That’s their ticket to Paradise.
It’s their religion, and who are you to question it? Just because fulfilling the Twelvers’ goal might involve eradicating the human race is no reason for you to get all het up about it, as we say here in Texas. . . What’s that? You say you don’t believe they would serenely blow themselves up along with the rest of the world, that they are just bluffing? Do you think that the hijackers of 9/11 weren’t serious?
Whether President Trump understands this he for sure understood the madness of ignoring and worse the Obama/Biden aiding and abetting of allowing Iran to obtain a nuclear weapons arsenal, the pornographic fiction and propaganda of the JCPOA notwithstanding, and so we along with Israel at least for the time being have put a halt if not an end to that.
Reuters reported that the Trump administration has already notified Congress of its intention to approve the sale of US engines worth €613 million for KAAN, Turkey’s fifth-generation fighter aircraft, which is currently under development.
The bigger question, however, is whether Washington will also pave the way for Turkey to acquire F-35 fighter jets. Ankara was removed from the F-35 programme in 2019 after purchasing the Russian S-400 air defence system, which Washington argued posed a threat to the aircraft’s sensitive technology by potentially collecting radar data on the F-35. . . Turkey has been described as “the new Iran,” and for good reason. Its reputation has aligned with that depiction...
First of all, while Turkey and Erdogan are Sunni and not Shiite, the salient point here is that they are first and foremost Muslim. Regardless of the internecine and eternal struggle between those two factions, the ultimate goal of both is for Islam to conquer the world. Erdogan and his cohorts have completely eviscerated a century of progress and westernization brought about by Kemal Ataturk in service of that goal. Erdogan is content, much like Blofeld wringing his hands at the Soviets and Americans duking it out like Siamese fighting fish so that he can ultimately come out on top as the de facto leader of the entire Islamic world and ultimately usher in the age of Islam ruling the world as his legacy. That Turkey is still in NATO is the height of insanity. Unless and until Erdogan and his party are removed from power they will be an existential threat to the security of the region perhaps as serious as Iran. And while they'll hold onto those F-35s the risk of him selling one off to the Red Chinese cannot be discounted. And yet for the President to go forward with this deal is madness. He's either clueless or being ill-advised.
. . . Secretary of State Marco Rubio has invited the foreign ministers and other senior officials from over 60 countries to Washington, D.C. next week for a summit. The goal? To combat the "resurgence of transnational far-left terrorism," according to Washington Post reporters who say they saw documents related to the matter. ..
Unlike the highly structured far-left groups of the past, modern far-left and anarchist extremism relies heavily on decentralized, cross-border networking that is often organized online. Both U.S. and European intelligence agencies have pointed to growing coordination between decentralized Antifa and Antifa-like networks and European autonomous groups, especially surrounding major global events. This often leads to riots, arson, attacks on law enforcement, attacks on infrastructure and symbols of capitalism, and destruction of public and private property.
A recent Cato poll shows that more members of Gen Z, those born between 1997 and 2012, have a positive view of Communism than those who have a negative view with around a third splitting each way. Some of this can be attributed to social media propaganda, the educational system and popular culture and helps explain the young activists flocking to the DSA.
43% of ‘students’ rate Communism favorably and only 29% rate it unfavorably making it clear that the higher educational system isn’t just broken, it’s actively recruiting the next generation into extremism, domestic terrorism and totalitarian ideologies of the most terrible kind. This tracks with other polls showing campus support for violence and suppression of free speech.
Less than half of Americans think capitalism is working as patriotism, support for democracy tanks . . They’re seeing red.
Fewer than half of Americans think capitalism is working — and support for democracy and patriotism has tanked in the last decade thanks to the nation’s pessimistic youth, according to a sobering new poll.
As the nation turned 250 years old, only 48% of Americans believe that capitalism is working well in the US, compared to 60% who said so a decade ago, according to a survey released Wednesday by the Wall Street Journal and the National Opinion Research Center.
Just over half (51%) of those surveyed said American capitalism was working not too well or not at all well, the study showed. The same study found just 12% of Americans believe democracy is working extremely or very well in the US, compared to a staggering 56% who said it is working not very well or not at all well.
Many of those who answered also felt that the American Dream, tying together democracy and capitalism, is further out of reach than ever before.
Just over a third (35%) of respondents said that the American Dream — that if you work hard, you’ll get ahead — still holds true, down from 53% in 2012.

Taco Bell restaurants are pulling fresh ingredients from the menu as a fast-growing parasite outbreak linked to explosive diarrhea spreads across multiple states.
Locations, including some in Metro Detroit, have posted signs telling customers they are temporarily unable to serve several produce items while health officials respond to a spike in cyclosporiasis cases, WWJ reported on Tuesday.
"We are currently unable to sell Lettuce, Cilantro Onion, Pico de Gallo and Guacamole due to a nationwide recall," the notices say.
"We apologize for the inconvenience. Any items ordered that normally come with these items WILL NOT contain them."
The missing ingredients are staples in several Taco Bell favorites, including tacos, the Crunchwrap Supreme and Cantina Chicken menu items.
It is not clear whether any Taco Bell customers have been sickened by the parasite, according to the report.
The menu shake-up comes as health officials investigate a surge in cyclosporiasis, an intestinal illness caused by the Cyclospora parasite that has sickened nearly 2,000 people across the US.

Pakistan is expected to refuse to take back the Rochdale grooming gang leader despite plans to change the law so he can be deported
On Monday Shabana Mahmood, the home secretary, is expected to announce changes to the 1971 Immigration Act, which prevents Shabir Ahmed from being removed
Ahmed, 73, was released from prison last week after serving 14 years of a 22 year sentence for 30 child rape offences
A loophole in the Immigration Act means that he cannot be returned to Pakistan, despite the fact he has been stripped of his citizenship. The act exempts people from deportation if they came to the UK before 1973 and have lived in the UK for at least five years
Mahmood is expected to confirm that officials have found a way to close the loophole without putting the right to remain of Commonwealth citizens at risk, including Windrush migrants from the Caribbean
However, Whitehall sources confirmed that despite the change in the law they did not expect Pakistan to accept Ahmed. It is demanding the extradition of two political dissidents from the UK in exchange for accepting the return of Ahmed
A senior government source said that Britain would not extradite any of the political dissidents, leaving discussions at an effective stalemate
Can we stop pretending these people bring such Great Cultural Enrichment with them that it cancels out all the child rape, murder, and terrorism?
Muslim pro-terrorism communist Democrat senate candidate "Doctor" Abdul El-Sayed was grilled about why he insists on being called a "doctor" and even a "physician" despite having no license to practice medicine.
Michigan Democratic Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed got a grilling from a lefty anchor Wednesday about whether he lied by describing himself as a physician despite lacking a current medical license.
El-Sayed's LinkedIn page describes him as a physician, and he claimed to be "a physician and epidemiologist" during an April debate.
"You got attacked by your rivals for calling yourself a physician, not just a doctor, even though you don't have a valid state medical license in New York or Michigan, which apparently is what you need legally to call yourself a physician," Zeteo founder Mehdi Hasan pressed El-Sayed, questioning whether the candidate should have just called himself a doctor to avoid the drama.
"At the end of the day, it's not about whether or not I'm a physician or a doctor," El-Sayed replied. "It's not about my education. It's about whether or not your kid gets a good education."
Hasan called out the attempted dodge and stressed that people will question whether "you tell the truth."
That prompted El-Sayed to pivot to touting his time in public health, including as the director of the Department of Health, Human, and Veterans Services in Wayne County, Mich.
"Well, I would say that I was the health director for the city of Detroit, and I've done more to provide more people healthcare or eliminate their medical debt than most doctors have done in their practice career," he countered. "So, I'm proud of the work that I did."
The Democratic front-runner also noted that he graduated from Columbia College of Physicians and Surgeons in New York.
El-Sayed is the former host of a healthcare podcast titled "America Dissected," where he leveraged his credentials as a doctor and hawked questionable health and wellness products.
Ironically, he had called out others, such as current Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services Administrator Dr. Mehmet Oz, for trying to "sell people s-- they didn't need."

Homeschooling is legal in Brazil but a judge has just sentenced two parents to 50 days in prison for "intellectual neglect" because their 11- and 15-year-old daughters, accomplished pianists and polyglots, received no classes on gender theory, sex education, tolerance, diversity and Afro-Brazilian culture.
The court argued that they would suffer in their personal lives and interactions with people of their own age from not knowing the Brazilian funk music style, which romantizes crime, life in favelas and is hyper-sexualized.
Apart from being accomplished pianists, the two girls speak Portuguese,
English and Latin. They also read 30+ classic books per year.
The judge was particularly worried when he heard that one of the daughters is particularly fond of Christian music and doesn't know what funk music is. The judge accused the parents of using their daughters as tools in an "ideological war"
A Brazilian court has sentenced a couple to 50 days in prison for "intellectual neglect" after they homeschooled their two daughters without a state-approved curriculum.
A São Paulo criminal court ruled against Audato and Ieda Denardi, alleging they had failed to include programs on "gender and sex education" and "tolerance and diversity" in the curriculum for their daughters, aged 15 and 11, Alliance Defending Freedom ("ADF") International said.
According to the legal group, the court also ruled that the parents failed to properly integrate their children into Brazilian culture, citing the girls' preference for religious and classical music over popular trap or "sertanejo" (folk) music.
Isabel Monteiro, the defense attorney representing the family, said the judge made an "ideological decision to convict them" based largely on the older daughter's preference for sacred music over mainstream music that often features explicit lyrics.
The Denardis were sentenced to 50 days in prison by a lower court in April. They remain free while appealing the ruling, which is believed to be the first criminal prosecution of its kind in Brazil.
The Denardis told Fox News Digital they began homeschooling the girls in 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic after realizing their schools were failing to give them a proper education. Ieda said the girls thrived in homeschooling, and so she decided to continue educating the girls at home.

Republican gubernatorial candidate Bruce Blakeman is accusing Democratic incumbent Kathy Hochul of religious bigotry for enforcing a transgender rights law she approved that is forcing Catholic nuns who run a hospice program to choose between their beliefs or caring for indigent, terminally ill patients.
The controversy concerns the Dominican Sisters of Hawthorne in Westchester County who run Rosary Hill Home -- a Catholic hospice for the poor.
The order filed a federal lawsuit accusing the state of violating their constitutional rights with a 2024 law that requires the facility to affirm patients' gender identity in regard to pronouns, room assignments and restroom usage.
The law bars nursing or long-term care facilities from discriminating against any resident based on the resident's actual or perceived sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, or HIV status.
But the Trump Justice Department recently intervened in the case on behalf of the Dominican Sisters, claiming New York is engaged in religious discrimination at the 42-bed hospice care facility.
"What Kathy Hochul is doing to the Dominican Sisters of Hawthorne is an absolute disgrace. For over 120 years, these incredible women have done God's work, providing unconditional love, comfort, and dignity to people in their final days," Blakeman told The Post.
"They are saints walking among us, and they represent the absolute best of New York. Yet, Kathy Hochul is actually willing to shut them down, strip away their license, and throw terminal cancer patients out on the street--all to enforce her woke garbage."
...
The Catholic nuns received three letters from the state Health Department informing them of their obligation to comply with the law, according to the suit.
State Attorney General Letitia James, whose office is defending the Hochul administration in court, asked that the case be thrown out and that Hochul's name be removed as a defendant.

They police just took a pic of the Lance's phone, guys! Biggest assasination since JFK and they decided not to collect it and store it into evidence. Just trusted him and took a couple of cute pics for insta.
And now Lance has immunity.
And of course the judge ruled that the defense did not need to examine these messages for authenticity at this stage of the hearing.
It's just not necessary at this stage- got it?
Enjoy your Fed slop!
She's just spamming out one new covering conspiracy theory after another. She says these must be fake, because the FBI wouldn't have just photographed the messages, they would have seized the phone. Well, they did seize the phone. They seized it and downloaded everything in its memory.
Also, they couldn't present the phone in court unless they could show clear chain-of-custody, and the defense didn't object -- therefore, the phone has been in the possession of the authorities after being taken from Tyler Robinson.
She also insists that Tyler Robinson can't be the killer seen on video because the guy on video is 6'2". She knows this height exactly, somehow. Just by eyeballing a video, where he's not standing next to any other person nor anything whose height is known.
And she claims that Robinson himself is "just over 5'10."
Except no, the police photo shows he's 6'0" or just a touch under.
Seeing that this contradicts her claim, she crops the photo to remove the top of Robinson's head and make him appear shorter.
She literally cropped the police photo to stop his head at just over 5'10"... even though we know heads aren't flat and so he's an inch and a half taller than what she shows:
Are you fucking kidding me here Cavernous? Even with the cropping he's over 5'11", and we still haven't seen the top of his head!
Oh there it is -- right around 6'0".

Ok. They have his DNA.
"It was planted! They're lying to us!"
And round and round we go. Nothing will ever satisfy these people. Even video footage of Tyler Robinson taking the shot would not satisfy these people because they're untethered from reality and convinced everyone from Israel to Robinson's defense team is on this.
You can't fight that type of psychosis with facts.
By the way, photos of the bullets reveal that they're hollow-points, intended to expand upon contact with a target. These bullets are designed to blow up into flat plates so that all of their energy goes into a target, and none comes out. That is, the bullet is designed to expend all of its kinetic energy in the target, and not exit the target.
I say this because Cavernous Nostrils and her Legion of Tards have been claiming that it's impossible for a rifle bullet to not exit Charlie Kirk's neck (so we know a TPUSA official standing nearby him must have shot him with a pistol at the exact moment the rifle shooting decoy fired his rifle).

Graham Platner's fall is not really about sex or tattoos.
Enjoy how he renders rape as "sex" and a Nazi SS Totenkopf tattoo as "tattoos."
The establishment cared so much about getting him canceled because he opposed their economic and foreign policy programs that serve the powerful and shaft average Americans.
Remember, Tucker Carlson is a "conservative"! If you criticize him, you're "splitting the party," "causing division," and "in-fighting"!
I mean sure he's full-blown socialist (or communist now-- he is extremely authoritarian and seeks a return to feudalism), but he hates gays and that's all you need to be conservative!
Except his Islamist friends also hate gays and I don't think that makes them conservatives. Hm, this is a puzzler. Why is he a "conservative" again?
Again, they blame their Democrat sources (and friends, and wives, and mistresses) for "misleading" them.
This is exactly the same narrative the media deployed when "Sharp as a Tack" Biden was found out. "We weren't in on it, we were fooled like everyone else!"

This entire article aims at Democrats for missing a parade of red flags in Platner's life while fraudulently promoting him as the "authentic voice of the working class." Democrats certainly deserve every bit of opprobrium possible for selling voters a whiny, entitled, upper-class mooch as a working-class stiff, just a couple of years after attempting to sell a senile old man as a Sharp As a Tack(TM) candidate who could totally handle another four years as president. Democrats are spending a lot of time growing candidates in vats, as long as they come out socialist blue once formed.
However, the WSJ does not include one single word about how the media helped sell that fraud to voters in Maine and to the entire country. Their article never admits -- as Axios at least did -- that the media repeated the Katz-Moraff narrative "without scrutiny" for months. It never mentions the New York Times "tamp and tame" effort last month in which they manipulated three women, including Lyndsey Fifield and Jenny Racicot, in an attempt to muddy allegations to the point that Platner, Moraff, and Katz could claim that it was a partisan smear campaign. And of course, the article never mentions that Racicot finally came forward with the rape allegation specifically due to the NYT's manipulation of Fifield.
Just as the media circled the wagons and blamed only the five innermost of Biden's inner circle for "duping" them about Biden, they're now claiming the only fault in the Platner debacle is found in a young gay Democrat hustlers named Morris Katz who hypnotized... the entire media, including the New York Times and the Conde Nast publishing empire, into giving glowing and entirely unskeptical coverage to a rando nobody who just announced he was running for Senate.
Not a single fact check of Katz's mythology.
And by the way, the gay hustler was Obviously Lying in his every claim about Platner.
How is this the gay hustler's fault? You're the ones who took their OBVIOUS LIES and published them as fact-checked "facts."

A firebug in Indiana cut off his own penis, dumped gasoline on it -- then used it to light a blaze inside a neighbor's garage, according to police.
Christopher Peden, 36, of Fort Wayne, allegedly copped to giving himself the shaft after first claiming he was stabbed, according to court documents.
Peden told cops he "harmed himself" inside the garage in Fort Wayne by "cutting off his penis" with a kitchen knife on May 6, FOX 59 reported.
Lance Baker begged his neighbors for helped after he was stabbed by his son, according to a neighbor.
During the totally nuts kindling plan, he poured gasoline on his severed genitals and "set it on fire on the floor of the garage just inside the door," according to court documents cited by the station.
When Peden later ran into police, he claimed he'd been slashed in the city's downtown area, according to the court documents.
Christopher Peden just became the top pick to replace Platner as Democrat candidate for Senate.
Federal Judge in Florida Overrules DC Judge, Orders the DHS to Turn Back on SAVE's Verification System for Determining Aliens' Eligibility for Benefits -- and Voting
—Disinformation Expert Ace
Remember foreign judge "Sparkle" Sooknanan? She claimed that it was unconstitution for Trump to check voter names against social security numbers to determine if they were eligible to vote.
She herself is a foreign citizen -- she has dual citizenship, and never renounced her foreign one, despite suggesting that she would if approved to be a judge -- so she's very invested in the idea that foreigners should rule United States citizens.

BREAKING: Biden-appointed judge Sparkle Sooknanan, who was born in Trinidad and Tobago, just BLOCKED the Trump admin from using a social security database system to verify voter eligibility.
We have foreign judges telling us we can't secure our elections
What are we even doing?
But not a Florida federal judge says "turn the machines back on."
He himself was the judge in a case where states sued the DHS to secure the elections, and the consent decree reached by the DHS and the states was that these safeguards were to be implemented.
So "Sparkle's" ruling contradicts a judge-approved settlement between the states and the federal government.
Federal judge hands Trump big win, directs DHS to restore voter verification features of SAVE system
The SAVE system was enhanced under the Trump administration to better support state election integrity efforts, including maintenance of state voter rolls.
A 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.
U.S. District Judge T. Kent Wetherell II ruled that the DHS violated a settlement with states, including Florida, by disabling the features. Wetherell approved the settlement last year and has maintained jurisdiction to enforce the settlement.
"Defendants are plainly in violation of the settlement agreement because it is undisputed that they disabled the bulk-upload and SSN-search features that the agreement expressly required the SAVE system to have," he wrote in the order. "The fact that defendants disabled those features to comply with [the judge's] order does not change the fact that they violated the agreement."
Wetherell determined that the features did not violate federal law, concluding the SSN-search functions align with 8 U.S.C. §1373, which overrides other restrictions on sharing citizenship or immigration status information, according to Florida's Voice News.
I'm not sure how a Florida district judge can "overrule" a DC district judge, since both are equals. Appeals courts overrule district judges below them.
But this judge, overseeing the DHS/state settlement, might have some special authority to protect the settlement.
So is it over?
NOPE! Judge "Sparkle" says she doesn't care what another judge with direct responsibility to oversee this settlement says, she says she's a Cultural Enricher here to set us all straight!

BREAKING: Judge 'Sparkle' Flips Out, Rejects Federal Court Order Dismissing Her Ruling
Judge Sparkle Sooknanan has refused to pause her ruling that dismantled the Department of Homeland Security's expanded SAVE citizenship verification system, even after a federal judge in Florida ordered the exact same system to be restored.
The dispute centers on the Trump administration's expanded SAVE database, which allows states to use Social Security numbers and bulk searches to verify citizenship for voter rolls and other lawful government functions.
Last month, Judge Sooknanan blocked the upgrades, ruling they violated federal privacy laws.
But because Florida, Indiana, Iowa, and Ohio had already secured a court-approved settlement guaranteeing access to those same SAVE features, U.S. District Judge T. Kent Wetherell II ordered DHS to immediately restore them.
Rather than pause her ruling while the conflict plays out, Judge Sooknanan rejected the Trump administration's request, accusing the government of "gamesmanship" and insisting the Florida court had "erred in significant ways."
The conflicting rulings now leave DHS in the position of being ordered by one federal judge to disable the system or to ignore her and follow the alternate judge's ruling.
Rep. Abe Hamadeh has introduced articles of impeachment against Judge Sooknanan.
Rep. Nancy Mace has proposed legislation requiring federal judges, members of Congress, and Senate-confirmed officials to be natural-born U.S. citizens.

A reminder that in Nov 2025, tw0 Democratic judges on a DC appellate panel put a hold on Transportation Sec. Duffy's emergency interim rule that would have prevented the state of Massachusetts (and other states) from issuing non-domiciled CDLs to a broad category of noncitizens.
Judges Flo Pan (Biden) and Robert Wilkins (Obama) claimed the DOT "does not appear to have demonstrated any safety benefit from the rule [and] the county petitioner has furnished evidence that the rule would harm public safety by forcing it to replace safer experienced drivers with less-safe new drivers."
The illegal immigrant who killed a PA state trooper last week received his non-domiciled CDL in Feb 2026.
Radical leftist Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) said race played a major role in her Democrat primary loss to Texas Democrat Senate candidate James Talarico (D).
Crockett argued that racism, not politics, was the deciding factor in her Democrat primary loss to James Talarico.
"The reality is that there was a lot of races, not a lot, it was racist. It was a racist race. It is what it is, right? But we live in America as y'all are celebrating 250, okay? We know what this country is," Crockett said.
Crockett rejected criticism that she should have spent more time campaigning alongside Talarico. Instead, she said her strategy was to help down-ballot candidates, pointing to five black men she endorsed in Texas runoff races who all advanced to the November election.
"The best thing that I can do for James Talarico isn't me standing on a stage with him," Crockett said. "It is the fact that I endorsed five candidates in the runoff who all happen to be black men in the state of Texas and every single one of them won."
She pushed back on criticism that she should have campaigned more directly for Talarico, saying giving voters multiple candidates to support is a more effective strategy for boosting turnout.
"People keep trying to say, 'Well, Jasmine has to go and hold his hand.' No, I don't," she said. "If you can give people more than one thing to vote for, then you have a better chance of getting them out to the polls."
...
Crockett previously said she does not believe black voters have fully united behind Talarico's Senate campaign and confirmed she will skip next week's Texas Democrat Party convention.
She said she has not seen broad enthusiasm for Talarico or the rest of the party's statewide candidates, adding that many voters remain unconvinced despite several months remaining before the November election.
"I've not heard a bunch of kumbaya," Crockett said. "People don't seem to be convinced at this point, but there's a lot of time between now and November."
I credit the racial anger to Stephen Colbert, who broke FCC rules by interviewing the gay white kid and refusing to offer an interview to Ratchett. That was some straight racist shit from Colbert. Typical prog, using the blacks for power and then shutting them out of power themselves.

Graham Platner Officially Withdraws From Position as Sturmgruppefuhrer of the Maine Democrat Party
—Disinformation Expert Ace
I saw, I think, Chicks on the Right discussing Platner's plans from the future. They think -- and I think they're right -- that he's going to immediately cash in by starting a (get this) podcast, and he's chumming the water with antisemitic conspiracy theories to get the reliably unemployed-and-available-to-watch Tuq'r Qarlson/Candace Owens/Me-Again Kelly Nazi audience.
If it's a lie, why drop out? Maybe because he's been told the Racicot rape allegation will be the first, not the last, rape allegation coming. Bear in mind, Racicot is a leftist who agreed with Graham Platner politically. She had an incentive to make her allegation public before the deadline to withdrawal.
The Republican Party, on the other hand, has been sitting on its oppo until after the deadline.
More was coming. I hope it still all comes out. Because, seriously, I agree with the Woke Left: #PunchANazi.
SULLIVAN, Maine -- Accused rapist Graham Platner finally announced he is bowing out of the Maine Senate race Wednesday with a long-winded video statement, blaming everyone but himself for his campaign's implosion.
He called out "large forces," "corporate media" and the "political establishment" for trying to force him out of the race.
"We believe that for the movement to continue, it can't be me. And for that reason we are suspending campaign operations," Platner said in a video announcement posted on X.
...
"I just want to make it clear this is all false. The things that have been claimed did not happen. It's not real," he said in the X video.
And yet you're dropping out, as if they have you dead to rights.
Platner argued the Democratic establishment used the rape allegation "as an excuse to take away all of the things that we need to run a campaign."
...
"This was the last week to try to get me off of the ballot. And that's why this is occurring," Platner charged.
Platner went on to urge the public not to view his decision to withdraw from the race as "an admission of guilt."
There is no other way to view it, Herr Rapist.
"It most certainly is not. We're not doing it because of the allegations. We're doing it because of the structures that are being taken away from us by those in power," he said.
He means the Democrat's senate campaign slush fund announced it would spend zero dollars to support Platner's campaign.
But he still has a lot of supporters -- and anyway, the party committees actually don't spend very much on most candidates. That's why Mitch McConnell was always recruiting liberal millionaires to run for Senate, he wanted them to be self-financing (and also, liberal RINOs).
Pennsylvania Democratic Sen. John Fetterman blasted Platner after his announcement.
"The trash took itself out tonight," he bluntly told Fox News.
"Now finally people in Maine have a chance to vote on someone that's not a total piece of trash."
Just hours after the latest rape claims, Schumer and Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) issued a joint statement denouncing Platner.
"The allegations reported today are incredibly disturbing -- violence, abuse and sexual assault are absolutely unacceptable," it said.
"Graham Platner needs to immediately withdraw as the Democratic nominee for Senate and allow Maine Democrats the opportunity to choose a new candidate who can defeat Susan Collins. The DSCC [Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee] will not invest in the Maine Senate race if Platner remains on the ballot."
...
Platner lashed out at those who abandoned him and pulled his financial support.
"We are going to lose our ability to fundraise. We are going to lose our ability to access voter data. We are going to lose all of the things that any campaign needs on the basic level simply to function," he bemoaned.
"Larger organizations, the national level party, the bigger donor networks -- they have all committed to spending no money in this race if I'm in it," Platner continued.
"They would rather see Susan Collins win than have me be the next senator from Maine," he said.
The failed candidate uploaded the "woe is me" clip announcing his withdrawal after a woman he previously dated, Jenny Racicot, publicly alleged that he drunkenly raped her at her Maine home in 2021 despite her repeated pleas to stop. He denied the allegation.
"This video is more embarrassing than the Nazi tattoo," Emily Zanotti, a friend of one Platner's exes accusing him of misconduct, tweeted.
"Graham Platner announces the real victim in all of this is Graham Platner," right-wing influencer Western Lensman posted on X. "Saved you 11 minutes."
"TLDR: Campaign suspended and a whole bunch of bluster," read a post from the Chicks on the Right X account.
...
The failed candidate's lack of self-awareness throughout the video, as well as his insistence that his ex-girlfriend was lying about being raped by him, left many stunned and puzzled.
"It is not the establishment's fault that your ex lover accused you of raping her," political consultant Micah Erfan noted.
"Narcissistic sociopath," conservative radio talk show host Larry O'Connor said in response to Platner's video.

Surveillance cameras are becoming very common in America, and have been ubiquitous in other parts of the world for many years. Private cameras are very different from government-controlled surveillance, and government demands for privately-acquired data usually go through the courts.
But governments are increasingly relying on their own cameras, and those cameras are often owned and controlled by Flock Safety, a private company that specializes in Automated License Plate Recognition (ALPR) systems. They are sophisticated cameras that send data to an equally sophisticated system that can not only read plates, but also identify unique characteristics on vehicles: bumper stickers, roof racks, trailer hitches, accident damage, etc.
And that data are collected and collated and can develop a comprehensive picture of vehicle movement over days or years. Did I say "can?" Of course they do. Assuming benign intent on the part of any corporation is naive, and assuming it when that corporation partners with government is laughable.
The passive accumulation of data on our movements is disturbing even if it were to occur on a single day. Yes, the Fourth Amendment speaks to "persons, houses, papers, and effects," and is of less utility in public. But this surveillance is permanent, long term accumulation of information that in the aggregate is nobody's business...least of all government!
This isn't a cop parked on the side of the road who happens to notice something. This is surveillance in the absence of probable cause, and that violates the spirit of the United States Constitution and the Bill of Rights. The government parses our rights to diminish their impact on its fanatical desire to know everything about us, but routine surveillance without a court order seems to be a clear violation of our right to be safe from government observation.
And it isn't just government that uses Flock....HOAs are big users of their systems for their deeply disturbing Big Brother activities. Of course HOAs are the Devil, so that isn't surprising, but the constant intrusion into our private lives is maddening.
But Americans seem to be a bit irritated by these cameras and the attendant gathering of information, and the response has been heartening.
Far be it for me to suggest anything illegal, but I sure hope some freedom-loving patriotic American is on the jury for that Air Force engineer.
If you are curious about the locations of the these cameras, here is a website that tracks them. deflock.org seems like it works pretty well...I checked one in my area this morning, and yup! it was where they said it would be. Luckily not in my little village, but near enough to irritate!
Like the arguments against the Second Amendment...banning guns will make us all safer! I don't care. Even if that were true (and I do not believe that it is), freedom and liberty are inherently chaotic, and we must tolerate some level of law breaking as a consequence of our freedom.
That tradeoff is absolutely part of the social compact among free men, and to argue against it is to reject the concept of natural, God-given rights.

Good morning kids. Well, surprise surprise, Platner is out!They must've thrown a nice chunk of change to exit stage left. While he is truly one of the most vile pieces of human garbage in recent memory ever running for office, I suppose on a positive note it's a sign that the Democrat media/propaganda complex isn't nearly as powerful as it seems in protecting one of their own. Up and down the line every major and minor lefty in and out of government was praising this sick bastard to high Heaven, and you'd think they'd've kept their mouths shut if either they had known the extent of his record or otherwise felt they couldn't keep a tight enough lid on it.
Democrat Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner suspended his campaign Wednesday after a previous girlfriend accused him of sexual assault.
Platner announced his exit two days after 41-year-old Maine resident Jenny Racicot accused him of forcibly having sex with her in 2021. The Maine Democrat was embroiled in several controversies, including his Nazi tattoo, inappropriate social media posts and his mockery of a veteran.
“We are suspending our campaign operations,” Platner said in a video statement. “This is incredibly difficult because I know that some will think it’s an admission of guilt and it most certainly is not. We’re not doing it because of the allegations, we’re doing it because of the structures that are being taken away from us by those in power. And I also feel an immense amount of responsibility to everyone who has worked so hard to get us where we are. We went toe to toe with one of the most entrenched political systems in the history of the world and we won.”
On a down note, I will assume his departure regardless of who his replacement will be, if even he can be replaced on the ballot per Maine election laws, means that the hideous harridan backstabbing RINO Susan Collins will most likely win her bid for reelection and we'll be saddled with this RINO shitwhore for another six years of backstabbing Maine and America.

The Absolute Balls,, Part 2: Me-Again Kelly, who has spent the entire last year claiming that anyone bothered by Candace Owens' stalking and torture of Erika Kirk was only making an issue of it because they're Israeli operatives -- she actually claimed that we were complaining in bad faith just to sabotage Candace Owens' "important questions" about Israel's role in the murder.
And of course, she's the woman who told we who were horrified by this to "Fuck. Off.," now realizes "Oh right my former audience was largely conservative and maybe they didn't like being told that their concerns about the martyer's widow Erika Kirk were all fake and hypnotized into their brains by Ben Shapiro, Super Jew-Fluencer."
So now she says that maybe people -- she won't say who should stop defaming the grieving widow every single day.
Here she is with her work-husband Tuq'r Qarlson attacking her former audience members who told her to condemn Candace Owens.
Here she was telling those who criticized her for her click-whore cowardice to "Fuck. Off."
Here she was endorsing Candace Owens' central antisemitic conspiracy theory that Israel killed Charlie Kirk due to his becoming "much more skeptical" about Israel, calling it an important and plausible theory.
.@MegynKelly: "I really, really, wish the people who have doubts about Erika Kirk would just keep them quiet this week. Whether you like her or you don't like her, hopefully the human inside of you can see how difficult this is for her and the family... It's just beyond human what is being asked of the family, and I beg for you to keep them in your prayers."
She has repeatedly claimed that anyone objecting to Candace Owens' stalking and assassination-prep campaign against Erika Kirk was just making a bad-faith attack on Owens "because of Israel."
But now it's "beyond human" for Candace Owens to ask if Erika Kirk was part of a Jewish plot to murder her husband? When did it move from an "important question that must be asked" to "beyond human"?
Was it when she last checked her YouTube views? Is that when she decided it was now "beyond human"? When she discovered her influence had plunged to almost nothing?
What happened to her prideful, antisemitic vow to never separate herself an inch from "young mom" Candace Owens?
Meanwhile, Candace Owens is spamming out new defamatory accusations without evidence, to cover up for her previous defamations having been proven false in court.
Her new claim? Well, Ben Shapiro -- a highly connected person in the media who personally knew Charlie Kirk -- got word through a text that Charlie Kirk had been shot before Candace did, so this must mean... that Ben Shapiro is involved in the murder.
See, it wasn't telling Shapiro "SHIT CHARLIES BEEN SHOT," it was the Israeli assassins telling him "TARGET DOWN, CONGRATULATIONS AND MAZEL TOV."

Candace Owens is not crashing out, contrary to popular belief.
Her frantic posts are the hallmarks of a narcissistic psychopath backed into a corner: the people she misled and profited from are now defecting and demanding answers.
Her decision to double down through denial, aggression, victimhood, blame-shifting, and a complete lack of remorse is calculated. She needs the public to believe she genuinely believes the defamatory claims she promoted--even if she doesn't.
Why? Because she knows there is sufficient evidence to convict Tyler Robinson and expose her own claims as false. If he is convicted, the existing defamation suits against her become stronger, while opening the door to new ones from TPUSA, Andrew Kolvet, Erika Kirk, and others.
She's now laying the groundwork for a legal defense that she acted with a bona fide belief in her claims and without actual malice.
It won't work. She's screwed.

Candace claims it's NOT Tyler Robinson in the videos...
But Tyler Robinson's MOTHER identified him from those videos.
Think very carefully, America.
Candace Owens' cultists are now accusing Charlie Kirk's parents of being in on the conspiracy. They're being "paid" to "keep quiet."
Andrew Tate and his brother Tristan made 1 million pounds from prostituting a teenager through their webcam sex business, police have alleged.
The brothers are facing a heap of new charges from Romania's directorate for investigating organised crime and terrorism (DIICOT).
In addition to charges of human trafficking and rape, prosecutors have now added money laundering, witness intimidation and complicity in the trafficking of minors to the list of charges.
Former world champion kickboxer and self-described misogynist Andrew, 39, is accused of manipulating a 17-year-old girl into working for the Tate brothers' pornography business between November 2014 and December 2021.
She was then placed under the control of Tristan, 37, who is accused of sexually exploiting her by controlling her online webcam account and setting financial targets which she needed to meet, DIICOT said.
The exploitation of the then-17-year-old allegedly earned the brothers $1.53 million (1.14 million pounds).
Prosecutors said between 2018 and 2021, Tristan recruited three victims using the 'lover boy method' - showering them with gifts to emotionally blackmail them into sex work.
Tristan is accused of intimidating 11 witnesses into making false statements, or not giving statements to prosecutors.
Andrew is also said to have threatened two alleged victims and two alleged witnesses with lawsuits to withdraw their cooperation with the police.
Both brothers are also accused of illegally selling luxury vehicles.
Five of the Tates' luxury vehicles were also seized by the authorities.
In the UK, the brothers have been charged with 21 offences, including rape, actual bodily harm and human trafficking.
Both brothers deny the allegations.
You know, I might be skeptical of these charges, if the Tate brothers did not have a subscription life coaching service where they teach men how to manipulate girls into being whores using the "loverboy" treatment (which is actually how pimps recruit hookers) -- tell them how much you love them, but they just need to do this one thing to make them some money...
A woman in a NJ prison is suing the state for forcing her to share unmonitored spaces with a "female" prisoner, who sexually assaulted her. She says she was penetrated by this "female" prisoner's penis, in both the vagina and mouth.
An inmate at New Jersey's only women's prison is appealing the dismissal of a lawsuit she filed against the New Jersey Department of Corrections (NJDOC) alleging that she was sexually abused by a trans-identified male transfer. In the August 2023 complaint, the woman, identified in court records as F. H., said that a "transgender inmate" with "fully functioning male parts" raped her on two occasions, in September and October 2022.
While the name of the male transfer was anonymized as Q. G. in court records, Reduxx can reveal that the "transgender inmate" named in the lawsuit is violent convict Quagee Gibbons, who stands at 6'1″ and weighs nearly 300 pounds.
Gibbons, who is listed as a "female" in the New Jersey inmate directory, has multiple convictions, including for manslaughter in 2014, threats of violence, and physical assault.
According to the suit, the Edna Mahan Corrections Facility for Women (EMCFW) houses multiple trans-identified male inmates who routinely harass the women there. F. H. alleges that the NJDOC and EMCF "failed to take timely and adequate corrective actions to protect the women inmates from transgender inmates with a fully functioning male sexual anatomy." Despite numerous complaints being lodged about the men's "sexually aggressive and harassing behavior," corrections officers and the NJDOC ignored the women's concerns.
Prison officials "failed to create a safe and secure environment for the female inmates," reads the complaint. "Transgenders were allowed to mix with females in areas with no correction officer supervision or oversight. An example is that transgenders were housed with female inmates in areas with no security cameras."
In September and October 2022, F. H. was housed in the same wing as Gibbons. She notes that due to the lack of cameras in the hallway, male officers were not permitted to enter the area without first announcing themselves.
Despite this, Gibbons was given "unfettered access and private access" to F. H., who she says "used his / her penis to commit both oral and vaginal intercourse." She reported the sexual assault to EMCF staff, but was issued disciplinary charges in retaliation. Attempts were made to transfer her to a prison in another state, and F. H. says she has been repeatedly placed in solitary confinement.
In her lawsuit, F. H. requested financial compensation for her "severe emotional distress", as well as punitive damages, and attorneys' fees. She also invoked the Law Against Discrimination (LAD), asserting that she was discriminated against and harassed on the basis of her "gender."
What are we even doing here?

Democratic Texas Senate hopeful James Talarico tapped the former leader of a protest movement called "C--ks Not Glocks" at the University of Texas at Austin to be his legislative aide, a job that included drafting gun control legislation.
Ana Lopez helped Talarico craft three major firearm restriction bills that he rolled out in the state legislature in 2019, all of which failed to pass.
Lopez took over the leadership of "C--ks Not Glocks," which once handed out more than 4,500 dildos on the UT-Austin campus to protest a 2015 law allowing licensed gun owners to carry concealed weapons at state universities and community colleges, from founder Jessica Jin -- an alum of the school, like Talarico.
Lopez told Study Breaks Magazine in 2017 that Jin had moved to California after graduation and passed the "torch down to me."
With its motto of "fighting absurdity with absurdity," members of "C--ks Not Glocks" marched on campus with t-shirts and banners depicting male genitalia emblazoned with perverse takes on pro-Second Amendment slogans such as "take it and come," while others donned dog collar sex toys.
Jin, who started the movement as a joke on social media, said she wanted to "put a dildo in the hands of every pissed off college student who hasn't been heard in this safety conversation."
"Strap it on, feel the discomfort, feel the weird looks. Wear it loud, wear it proud, and don't take them off until people take their guns home," she added, per the Houston Chronicle.
"As long as you have a d-- on your backpack, people will be thinking about the guns," the Texas Tribune quoted her as saying.
Lopez later complained about the backlash to the group, telling Study Breaks Magazine, "It's usually just men who can't take a joke."
Flashback: James Talarico wants to tell you about Positive Masculinity.
The Texas House of Representatives advanced a measure on Friday that would prohibit "sexually oriented performances" from taking place in public spaces and in front of minors.
Notably, the House's version of Senate Bill 12 does not include language targeting drag performers -- a big change from the version the state Senate passed last month. That version included any performance with "a male performer exhibiting as a female, or a female performer exhibiting as a male" as "sexually oriented."
Rep. Matt Shaheen, R-Plano, said Friday the House version still seeks to shield minors from sexually explicit content.
"Children should never be exposed to sexually oriented conduct," Shaheen said. "Senate Bill 12 would help put an end to the sexualization of children in the state of Texas."
Under the House substitute of SB 12, shows that include "actual or simulated...sexual acts, including vaginal sex, anal sex and masturbation" cannot take place in front of minors.
Businesses who host such performances in the presence of people under 18 years old could be subject to a civil penalty of up to $10,000.
"Senate Bill 12 would help put an end to the sexualization of children in the state of Texas," Shaheen said.
The measure was preliminarily approved 88 to 12. Forty-two members -- nearly all Democrats -- voted present. That number of abstentions is highly unusual.
Rep. James Talarico, D-Round Rock, told reporters he voted "present" because the measure had significantly improved.
"I think Texas is obviously the best state in the nation and I think we produce some of the best drag queens in the nation. And I didn't want any legislation to target them or hurt that industry," said Talarico.
The Absolute Balls: Alex Thompson Again Claims a "Scoop" On Something Conservative Media Reported Months Ago
—Disinformation Expert Ace
Huh. If you forgot the name Alex Thompson, one, congratulations on the efficient use of your memory cells, and two, he joined with Jake Tapper to share the B R E A K I N G news that Joe Biden had lost a step and really shouldn't have tried running for president in 2024.
He wrote this book in 2025. He really had his finger on the pulse of a corpse.
And now he's discovered -- apparently by simply reading conservative media outlets, who have reported this for months -- that Graham Platner's claims of being a "working class" "oysterman" are entirely a a fiction invented in 2024, when he decided to run for the Senate.
One might bid him a hearty welcome him to Current Day, except for the fact that he absolutely refuses to acknowledge the media outlets that reported this long ago, pretending he's got a real Shoeleather Express Scoop on his hands here.
Looks like the word has gone out to all the Narrative Tenders in political and media culture. Time to shut down Graham Platner's "working-class man" credentials.

Most people saw through this false premise months ago. Axios decided to catch up today, now that Democrats need to pressure Herr Totenkopf to withdraw from the Senate election in Maine. Alex Thompson and Holly Otterbein do a deep dive into the predicament Democrats now face after attempting to sell Platner as a MAGA-adjacent man of the people instead of the middle-class parental mooch that he is. Readers have to get halfway through the analysis to get to Axios' half-assed admission of participating in the fraud:
Starting with their launch video last August, Platner and his team billed him as an oyster farmer -- a title most of the media, including Axios at times, repeated without scrutiny.
But as early as August, he told ideologically friendly outlets that he makes little money from selling oysters and it's not how he makes a living.
Platner and his team pitched him as a "working-class Mainer" who bought his house with veterans' benefits.
"I bought my house in 2017," he posted in September 2025. "If I hadn't bought then, if I hadn't had the support of the VA, my wife and I would now be priced out of the town I grew up in, like the millions of Americans being exiled from their towns and cities."
In fact, Platner's father -- a lawyer -- loaned him $200,000 for the home.
Platner said last fall he's "never been close to money and power," but he briefly attended the elite prep school Hotchkiss in Connecticut before attending a private school in Maine.
Golly! Who could have known that? Well, anyone who read the Free Beacon more than two months ago, when Collin Anderson and Peter Hasson first reported on the details of the house purchase.
Worth noting that conservative outlets like the Free Beacon exposed his sham blue collar image long ago. Those facts were largely ignored by legacy media. Now that’s changed. A cynic might say it’s because he’s now seen as a threat to their partisan tribe’s power quest. https://t.co/7h7Xf48mhI
Axios also lies when it claims a "scoop" about Platner lying about why he attended an expensive private school. He claimed that the public school in his area had been de-accredited, thus requiring this Child of Non-Privilege to go to expensive private school.
But that was a lie. The public school had never been de-accredited. Platner just went there because... he was the rich-bitch son of a lawyer.
Should Alex Thompson get credit for this "scoop"? No, as Ed Morrissey writes -- the Maine Monitor reported that five weeks ago, and they didn't claim it was a scoop even five weeks ago.
Stephen L. Miller
@redsteeze
Alex Thompson has made a lot of money reporting things that everyone already knew about and acting like it's breaking news.
I have written before about how the myth of Graham Platner's "working man" populism was created, despite the fact that he was a child of privilege, lied constantly about his background and even his "job" as an oysterman. He was a creation of a propaganda machine, primarily driven by The New York Times and the Condé Nast media empire.
National Review did a deep dive into how Platner was plucked out of nowhere and turned into a working-class political star.
The phrase "it's an op" -- meaning an influence operation -- is often, though not always, a marker of paranoia, a tendency towards conspiracy theories, or a belief in forces that are unseen and cannot yet be proven to exist.
Still, from the very start of SS-tattooed Democrat Graham Platner's campaign for Senate, something seemed odd. The New York Times is not in the habit of writing a largely glowing profile of every long-shot, little-known Democrat who announces a bid for Senate. Platner was the harbormaster of Sullivan, Maine, population 1,246.
Yet the Times wrote its profile of Platner before he officially announced his campaign, in August.
In September, The New Yorker wrote its own 3,400-word profile of Platner, emphasizing how he "devoured books on military history." (But remember, he insists he never recognized the tattoo on his chest as a symbol of the Nazi SS.) Again, The New Yorker almost never writes long-detailed profiles of little-known Democratic Senate candidates one month after they announce their bid.
Then in October, GQ -- not primarily a political magazine, and not one that often spotlights candidates -- published its own large spread of Platner with lots of photos.
Then in November, the culinary magazine Bon Appetit -- again, not in the habit of covering obscure Senate candidates -- wrote another glowing profile, this one entitled, "How Graham Platner Went From Working-Class Oysterman to Maine's Zohran Mamdani."
This is Beto O'Rourke-level national coverage, right out of the gate.
CNN: Gee maybe we let Graham Platner claim "Muh PTSD" as an excuse a few times too many.
Shorter CNN segment: Yeah, we probably let Graham Platner saying he had PTSD be too much of an excuse for his horrible behavior, even though the mistreatment of women is never acceptable. Whoopsie! pic.twitter.com/qLHoPzxcRg
In response to someone asking why the video tape doesn't show Tyler Robinson's face (PS, it does, but it's crappy video so it's blurry):
Candace Owens
@RealCandaceO
Because as I demonstrated on my show, there were MANY young men that all woke up and decided to dress in Maroon shirts and light shorts on the day of the Charlie's assassination.
The footage can be any one of these young men and in my opinion is likely multiple of them.
If Tyler Robinson's defense would like to contact me-- I'd be happy to supply them the folder of the maroon boys that I began archiving when I noticed the bizarre fashion trend.
I have thus far ID'd two of them, but will focus on IDing the rest of them when I am back on air.
I have maintained that the Feds had multiple decoy maroon boys on the ground that day. Without a clear image, they certainly cannot declare it is Tyler Robinson which is why all the Zionist influencers are hoping they can simply hypnotize the public into trusting blurry images and videos.
For such an "open and shut case" they have thus far provided ZERO evidence of anything outside of a criminal government conspiracy, the likes of which hasn't been seen since the JFK assassination.

BREAKING: Lance Twiggs says that Robinson admitted to him in-person on Sept. 11 that the message he had sent the night before (presumably, messages sent while he was trying to retrieve his rifle the night of Sept 10) was true. He says Robinson told him "He wishes he hadn't done it."
Fenix Ammunition
@FenixAmmunition
Photos of the ammunition recovered from Tyler Robinson.
Remington headstamp on the case and despite the somewhat low resolution on the photo you can see the somewhat blunted nature of the projectile's tip.
This is a Remington Cor-Lokt soft point round. It's SPECIFICALLY designed to deform, slow down, and prevent an exit wound. Available at literally every single gun store and sporting goods store that sells ammunition.
In fact, 16 out of the 17 .30-06 varieties manufactured by Remington use some type of expanding, deforming, or fragmenting bullet. Only ONE of their products uses a full metal jacket projectile that could/would be expected to leave an exit wound.
Here's a clip of them sitting in my desk.
This has been the most easily debunked claim of their entire web of lies and it's really mind blowing considering this is exactly what you would choose for an assassination.
But yeah, definitely keep getting all your information from the DEI hire and the Portland pizza boy. I'm sure they know more about this than I do.
Post here, showing Tyler Robinson's ammunition, matching this guy's own box. And it is an expanding-tip hollow-point round.
Boy these Internet Experts (TM) sure do get a lot of things wrong.
