The Morning Report — 6/ 1 /26

Good morning kids. June is busting out all over!

So if being an admirer of the Nazis as well as a philandering pervert and possible pedophile aren't enough of a definition of being a typical Democrat . . .

Graham Platner Allegedly Sent Sexually Explicit Texts to Women, Had Profile on Kik Messaging App

“People familiar with the matter” told the Wall Street Journal that Platner’s wife, Amy Gertner, reportedly shared with an aide in August that she had found the sexually explicit messages “early in their marriage in the spring of 2025.”

From what I have read, the app is heavily used by pedophiles trolling for underage partners. Does that make Platner a P3DO, well where there's smoke there's fire, n'est ce pas?

This astonishing level of illegal content might appear unique, but in recent years this kind of activity has become rampant across Kik. A joint Forbes and Point Report investigation has uncovered evidence of a vast number of child exploitation cases involving the use of Kik, where some of the most appalling material is being shared and young girls and boys are being targeted for grooming. Posing as 14-year-old girls, we also discovered just how quickly predators were on the prowl and how third-party apps for sharing profiles appeared to be facilitating access to minors. And we found that Kik hasn’t even been deleting the profiles of individuals charged and convicted of child abuse offenses.

Well, as I said, If the above doesn't define the typical Democrat/Leftist, well certainly this does:

An adviser to socialist Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders dismissed a Nazi-inspired tattoo Democratic Senate candidate Graham Platner received as a “skull and crossbones” during a panel discussion Sunday.

Yup, as Fat Abert Speer Whoopi rape-rape would say, it's not Nazi-Nazi. Defend by deflection, obfuscation and gaslighting. Bad enough but Platner's wife went even lower by allowing herself to be a stooge!

Amy Gertner, who married Platner in 2023, said that she was “deeply hurt” about the campaign’s former political director, whom she tipped off about the sexting, confirming the messages to the press.

The video drew widespread criticism from observers who said it appeared that Platner was letting his wife take the heat for him.

“It looks and sounds like a hostage video,” one X user posted. “Blink twice if you need rescuing, Amy.”

The randy oyster farmer is believed to have had sexting affairs with up to a dozen women, according to reports.

Yeah, she "defended" him alright! BANGOR, he hardly knew her!

The other thing that absolutely is the sine qua non of Democrats/Leftists is violence and terrorism in pursuit of absolute power.

Police arrested at least 20 protesters outside embattled New Jersey ICE detention center Delaney Hall Sunday night after they broke a new curfew imposed to stop the violent rallies from continuing for a third week straight, as the Department of Homeland Security vowed to show “ZERO tolerance for rioters.” . . . Several arrests were made in front of a wall disturbingly grafittied with “KILL ICE” across it. . . Chaos has engulfed the immigration detention facility in Newark since at least May 22, after top Democrat officials, including New Jersey Gov. Mikie Sherrill, raised concerns about inhumane conditions in the facility and the lack of visitation hours.

Their "concerns" were a naked signal to their Antifa and other street goons as well as braindead dupes to engage in violent attacks on the facility.

More typical Democrat behavior: get others to do your dirty work by being cannon fodder for the media.

Other than this, speaking of flaming wreckage in Maine, or near it...

People across New England heard the sky clap back Saturday afternoon, and for a while, nobody knew why. Houses shook, windows rattled, and police departments fielded calls from worried residents. . . a natural meteor tore into the atmosphere, broke apart roughly 40 miles above northeastern Massachusetts and southeastern New Hampshire, and released energy equal to about 300 tons of TNT.. . Robert Lunsford, fireball report coordinator for the American Meteor Society (that's a job title!), described the object as roughly three feet wide. Reports reached the society from Delaware to Montreal, a huge footprint for a rock small enough to fit through many front doors. From the Associated Press:

Kaboom, indeed! And thanks for all the birthday wishes. It was a good one.

Have a great day,

AMERICA & ISRAEL STRIKE IRAN!
