YouTuber Joshua Carr: Pudgy Nazi Pussy Tucker Carlson Has Hired a Company to Copyright-Strike Any Channel Using His Clips to Critique Him

Joshua Carr
@Joshua_the_car

Tucker Carlson hired a company this week to demonetize any political commentator talking about him.

I've had 8 videos claimed so far this week.

Every single one is protected under fair use.

Make no mistake, Tucker won't win a single copyright dispute. He's doing this to discourage future commentators from talking about him.

He's been independent for years and he's never done this before. Why now?

Because he sees the power independent voices have, and that we are showing Americans the truth of who he is. As he tries to take over the GOP he knows better than anyone that controlling the narrative is paramount.

@ArtyTrolls @paramounttactcl @LauraLoomer

Is this true? I don't know yet. I suspect it is.

Carr does provide a notice of a copyright claim from "SuperBam," who would be acting on their client's behalf. He also says that there are "dozens" of reports from other people making the same complaint.


Tucker Carlson's Nazi Followers sure acted as if it were true, swarming to accuse this guy of being a Hasbara Israeli Subversive.

There's a reason for Tuq'r to want video of his statements suppressed -- he's constantly lying and claiming he didn't say things he definitely said right on videotape.

He also really, really loves Islam.

But he's a totally hardcore Christian! He read the Bible at age 52!

It turns out that Tucker lied when he claimed that Dan Bongino emailed him to say that Trump personally demanded an end to the Butler assassination investigation. (Because, Tucker implies, he knew the assassin would be traced back to -- get this -- Israel.)

Dan Bongino released emails disproving this. Tucker Carlson scoffs, saying he only released emails where he wasn't saying that Trump ordered an end to the investigation (to protect, get this, Jews).

Bongino then told him, "Well, release these emails where I say otherwise."

Tuq'r, incredibly, then responds: I don't release people's emails. I'll tell you about the emails and lie about what's in them, all right, but I'm a Gentlemen, and Gentlemen don't release the emails of another person."

So Bongino told him directly: I hereby relinquish all privacy rights to the emails I sent you and authorize you to release these emails. So we can see what I said, and what you're lying about.

Dan Bongino
@dbongino


I'm granting nepo baby @TuckerCarlson permission to publish the text messages he claims to have stating that I told him "President Trump shut down the investigation into Butler."

Those were his words, and he should show he has a pair of balls and publish them.
Spoiler alert 🚨:

He won't. Because they don't exist. I've already shown you the messages which say the opposite. I'm really sorry if you're still dumb enough to fall for this Times Square "Rolex" salesman's act.

And now Tuq'r just doesn't want to talk about it. He could prove that Trump covered up his own assassination and that his frequent enemy Dan Bongino is lying, but, get this: he doesn't feel like it right now.

Nathan Livingstone (MilkBarTV)
@TheMilkBarTV

Imagine a journalist so committed to the truth, who claims to have evidence that the President of the United States shut down the investigation into his own assassination attempt -- and that the former FBI Deputy Director lied about it.

But they refuse to publish that evidence because they: "don't want to."

Tucker Carlson is that journalist.

Nathan Livingstone (MilkBarTV)
@TheMilkBarTV

Tucker appears to have talked himself into a corner...

23 days since @dbongino exposed Tucker Carlson for falsely claiming Bongino texted him, while deputy director of the FBI, that Trump had stopped the Butler investigation - backing it up with receipts of their actual texts.

4 days since Bongino gave Tucker permission to release every single text between them after Tucker claimed Bongino was the one preserving the messages, but that Tucker "didn't want to" release them - despite previously pointing to those texts as evidence for his original allegation.

I'm sure Tucker is hoping this will just blow over. Because it appears he made the whole thing up - and has now been completely called out.


Dan Bongino
@dbongino

As we all anxiously wait for Tucker to produce a single piece of evidence for any of his psychotic claims, I sense a growing rage amongst his shrinking number of groupies.
They must know by now that they've been played. They've invested their time in a circus clown who has backed himself in a corner. So rather than admit they got played, they rage out and claw at their own faces while emptying themselves into their pull-up diapers. It's a sad thing to witness. The doomers and grifters are all being exposed.


Tuq'r has, of course, joined Candace Owens in insisting that Tyler Robinson is innocent and that Charlie Kirk was killed by Mysterious Forces we may never uncover, but smart money says it's The Jews.

Deals with monetization and not suppression. Dude in question is not getting money from ads from those Tucker posts. So yes, Tuca's mgmt is doing this for him, and yes, the dude is getting demonetarized for any post with Tuca, but then you have the dude able to appeal to YT's murky appeals system to reinstate.

Rick Beato deals with this shit all the time as do other music oriented commentators except from record company assholes.

They get clearly meritless challenges to their vids all the time. They win all the time, but — get this — normally the challenged vid is demonitized or even pulled during the challenge.

Since vids are like movies, in that they quickly ‘drop off’ in sales/clicks, having a vid demonetized for even a few days is a real hit.

This challenge procedure is a license for bitter and vindictive cocksuckers to harass YTers and hurt their wallets. I have no doubt Fucker Carlson is doing this.

There is a reason that a lot of people to make money on YT churn out crappy AI content and so much of it that copyright strikes cannot get all of them. I think Fil from Wings of Pegasus noted that in one of his investigations that some dude in the Far East kept churning out masses of fake music videos that even if struck, the same video popped up under another YT name.

Same thing going on with Amazon on a lot of products--literally Chicom and Turd World copies that violate trademark are literally whack a mole for legitimate companies to remove.

Actually you can, it just will be overruled but in the meantime, it gets tied up in the murky YT appeal system and demonetized. You can complain about all sorts of content, etc. not only copyright violations. That can lead to an actual strike of the post but often is just demonetizing the clip. Those that make their money from that are affected but there are ways around even that.

Occasionally you will have some YT comment provider complain about this or that organized campaign to demonetize, remove or even block content. Rick Beato is pretty open about it and names names when that happens.

Where Is Mitch McConnell? Some Demand "Proof of Life"

He's as publicly visible as Ayatollah Khamenei's gay dead son.


Donald Trump's most vocal supporters are demanding that Mitch McConnell's office provide proof that the Kentucky lawmaker is still alive after he disappeared amid a three-week hospitalization.

McConnell, 84, was admitted to a hospital on the morning of June 14 following a medical emergency at his Washington, DC home. Paramedics responded to a report of an unconscious person believed to have suffered a 'cardiac arrest,' with a medic reporting 'CPR in progress' at the address.

The senator was not named on the call, and his office has never confirmed what sent him to the hospital, saying only that he is receiving 'excellent care.'

The speculation surrounding McConnell has intensified in recent days because his aides have refused to release new information regarding his condition or whether he will return to work as the GOP fights to maintain their razor thin majority.

Trump conspiracy theorist Laura Loomer claimed that an unnamed White House source told her that McConnell is in a 'vegetative state' or 'brain dead' and is 'not coming back' to work.

DC outlet The Hill even accidentally published an obituary of the senator which was swiftly deleted. A screenshot spread on X, and a copy reportedly stayed live on Yahoo News.

Independent journalist Desirée Townsend confirmed Loomer's allegations: 'I have heard the same thing from my sources for days. At this point, I am at the hospital for when they eventually decide to cut him off of life support and move his body.'

As online chatter continued to grow about McConnell's health condition, MAGA activists like Breitbart editor Matthew Boyle wrote on X, 'McConnell's staff should produce proof of the senator's condition one way or another right now.'

Is this true? I don't know.

What makes me think it's false is that this retard thinks it's true:

The reference to McConnell's wife is to longtime Republican (well, RINO) operative Elaine Chao, who traveled to China three days after her husband was hospitalized and probably on the edge of death.


Sen. Mitch McConnell's wife, Elaine Chao, was in China three days after her 84-year-old husband was hospitalized on June 14.

Chao, who married McConnell in 1993, met with Chinese Vice President Han Zheng on June 17 in Beijing, according to Chinese state media service Xinhua. The report, which was also published by the Embassy of the People's Republic of China in the United States of America, claims Han "urged further efforts to strengthen" the relationship between the U.S. and China during the meeting.

"Chao said maintaining stable U.S.-China relations serves the interests of all parties, and expressed the willingness to continue making efforts to promote practical cooperation and people-to-people exchanges between the United States and China," read the report, which was accompanied by a picture of Han and Chao.

Rasmussen Reports says that claim is mostly false: Chao was already in China when McConnell suffered his health event.

Rasmussen Reports
@Rasmussen_Poll

Good Morning !

Elaine Chao was already IN China when Mitch was getting CPR. The real question is, why didn't she immediately fly back to DC instead of meeting with the Chinese VP 5 days later? And who exactly did John Thune speak with on June 15th?

June 12 - Wife Elaine Chao in China at University
June 14 - DC - McConnell in "full cardiac arrest," w/CPR
June 15 - John Thune tells Politico he spoke with Mitch
June 17 - Wife Elaine Chao in China w/Chinese VP

10 Politically, there's no advantage to demonstrating that he is no longer fit to serve. Just the opposite. With a Dem governor, his replacement would be a Dem.

Not that McConnell is a tried and true MAGA friend, but a Dem replacement would be even worse.

Fascinating.

Mitch McConnell is apparently well enough to spend 20 minutes discussing global geopolitics, but somehow not well enough to record a 30-second video reassuring the people of Kentucky, and the world, that he’s okay.

Also, his office of roughly 40 staff members still can’t provide a meaningful update?

Nothing about why Elaine Chao traveled to China to meet with senior CCP officials just three days after he was hospitalized?

And we’re all just supposed to accept this at face value?

None of this inspires confidence. If anything, this post raises more questions than it answers.

191 For some reason, I believe the Wagners and not the Somali sisters:
----
A Minneapolis couple accused of racially abusing two Somali women house hunting now claim they were victims of anti-white slurs.

Brian and Jen Wagner were caught in a viral video arguing with two Somali sisters in Shakopee, a suburb southwest of the Minnesota capital, last month.

The sisters, who have since been identified only by their first names - Hamdi and Sumaya - claimed they were confronted by the couple while walking through the neighborhood.

Video footage they captured and shared online showed Brian telling them: 'Nobody wants you here. Not a single person here wants you. I can smell you from here.'

Speaking with Alpha News, Brian said that what was shared to social media was only part of what had unfolded during the confrontation last month.

'The public saw a shortened, selective clip showing my reaction, but not the events that led up to it. Before that video began, racial slurs were directed at me', he said.

According to Brian, the sisters called him a 'f****** white cracker', as well as a 'redneck' before they started recording him. A 'cracker' is an offensive term for a white person.

John Thune
According to New York Times reporter Catie Edmonson, a spokesperson for U.S. Sen. John Barrasso of Wyoming said the senator had spoken with McConnell on July 7 for about 20 minutes.

Regardless of his mortality, he is in no position to represent the people of Kentucky, and they should be vocal about that. Toss him unceremoniously out the door. The self-importance is ridiculous.

268 Cartel judge in Georgia tells the DOJ what crimes they are allowed to investigate.

Sure, he lied and says it's because the statue of limitations has run on election crimes but:
1. Conspiracy is an on going crime, and they have 100% conspired to cover up the crime even to today
2. DOJ never said it was only 2020 crimes, but that they wanted the names of those who worked 2020, because
3. They have relevant info about crimes they are investigating.

This is basically the judge saying they can't investigate a murder because limitations had passed on the guy they want to subpoena for illegal gambling.

That only those who commit election fraud (GA officials) are allowed to investigate their election fraud.

Day One of Tyler Robinson Preliminary Hearing: Prosecution Detonates Candace Owens' Lie That Robinson Never Set Foot on the Campus

Gator Gar
@gatorgar

It appears the prosecution has video from UVU showing Tyler Robinson approaching the campus, entering the building, reaching the roof, and taking the shot. We won't know for sure until it goes to trial, but we do know UVU has cameras everywhere and that they provided the footage to investigators.

Going to be hard to refute that folks.

Here's video of Tyler Robinson skulking around the campus of Utah Valley University, including video of him walking stiff-legged because he was concealing a rifle down his pant-leg.


Here's video of Tyler Robinson (or someone who looks a lot like him) taking aim with the rifle shortly before Kirk was shot.

Remember, Cavernous Nostrils and her "Mommysleuths" have insisted for a year that this rifle could not have caused the wound to Charlie Kirk and that the actual murder weapon was either a concealed handgun fired by a TPUSA staffer (under orders from Israel, of course) or an "exploding microphone." And by the way, the microphone plainly did not explode. It was on video, and nothing happens with the microphone.

But Cavernous Nostrils and her Mommysleuths still insist the "exploding microphone" is a possible murder weapon.

Anything but the rifle Tyler Robinson is seen on video preparing for a sniper shot.

Liz Wheeler reports that it was a bad day not just for the tranny avenger Tyler Robinson, but for Candace Owens and her brain-dead housewife "mommysleuths."

Liz Wheeler
@Liz_Wheeler


Tyler Robinson is on video on campus four times. (So, he was there.)

Medical examiner's report says cause of Charlie's death was a gunshot wound to the neck. (So, not an exploding mic from Israel.)

TPUSA turned over HD video footage from their cameras of the shooting to law enforcement. (So, the videographer did not steal the footage to hide some secret reality about the murder.)

The lead investigator testified that their big tip came when a person -- Tyler Robinson -- turned himself in to Washington County police. (So, he did turn himself him.)

Access to the rooftop is easy, a staircase open to the public and a small guardrail that can be hopped over to gain entry to the gravel rooftop. (So, no Spider-Man ability necessary to get to the roof).

Defense actually DOES have access to the state's discovery. They've filed ZERO motions to compel because they are satisfied with state cooperation on this. (So, no fed conspiracy to deny defense exculpatory evidence.)

No bullet casing on the roof? So what? Bolt action rifles don't auto reject casings if only one shot is fired. The casing was found inside the rifle with three other unfired rounds. (So, not a "set up" framing Tyler Robinson's rifle.)

Tyler Robinson was laughing in court. (So, not distraught about "false allegations.)

What is the defense here? A mass conspiracy of Israel, Egypt, France, the U.S. Military, Charlie's former security, Erika Kirk, Cabot Philips, Kash Patel, the FBI, the ATF, Utah police, the judge, and TPUSA all in on the plot together... only without a SHRED of evidence implicating any of them?

If you believe that, you need to set down your phone, immediately go to Confession, pray in humility for wisdom and discernment, and start reading a rigorous curriculum of the classics to train your mind to think rather than be swayed by cultish emotional groupthink. I say this with love because otherwise you have surrendered the mind and soul God gifted you to the Great Deceiver.

Here, Cavernous Nostrils insists to low-IQ moron Shawn Ryan that Tyler Robinson wasn't even on the campus, and is a "total patsy." She says "they get look-alikes and get everyone to wear the same outfit" to fake Robinson's apparent presence on the campus.

Liz Wheeler also alerts us that the Candace/Tucker conspiracy zombies are already distorting a prosecution statement -- the prosecution said we didn't release video of Robinson taking the shot. The Candace/Tucker communist Nazis take this to mean there is no video of the shot.

That's not what they said.

Liz Wheeler
@Liz_Wheeler

You're about to see MASSIVE fake news about an out of context quote from the Tyler Robinson hearing.

Here's the TRUTH.

The prosecution did NOT say they don't have video of footage of Tyler Robinson firing the shot that killed Charlie Kirk.

What actually happened...

The prosecution was asked if the compilation video that was released to the media today showing Tyler Robinson on campus four times on 9/10 included footage of Robinson firing the shot. To which the prosecution answered no.

Very big difference.

Nonetheless you're about to hear, "omg the prosecution doesn't HAVE video of the shot I WONDER WHY HMMM ISRAEL ERIKA FED SLOP" peddled by the liars who want you to buy their evil baseless false allegations and so need you to ignore the truth.

Be forewarned.

Meanwhile: Me-Again Kelly has refused to call out Candace Owens' year-long op to get Tyler Robinson acquitted in the murder of Charlie Kirk because she believes it was all a Jewish-Mormon-Egyptian-French Intel-Fedlsop-Bee Cult conspiracy (no really) that involves a suspicious number of people on the campus wearing maroon shirts to identify themselves to other members of the Jewish-Mormon-Egyptian-French Intel-Fedlsop-Bee Cult conspiracy.

No, really -- three men were wearing maroon shirts so that means they're elite special forces sent by some country (Israel) to kill Charlie Kirk.


But Me-Again knows the trial will mean big ratings, so she says that, out of "love" for Charlie (the man whose wife has been defamed, stalked, and tortured for a year by Candace Owens without a single comment from Me-Again) she'll be covering it with "no bullshit."

Bonchie
@bonchieredstate

Yeah, I'm very much doubting the "I care about Charlie, I care about his family" part given you kept praising the psycho trying to destroy his widow with malicious lies and even gave credence to her conspiracy slop.

Ryan Saavedra
@RyanSaavedra

You cared about Charlie so much that you repeatedly praised the demonic psychopath who has been attacking his wife and you have refused to call out her lies aimed at destroying his wife and the organization he built.

Bonus: Candace Owens spoke with fellow homosexual Milo Yiannopolis and called the American Revolution "fake and gay," denying the conventional history about a determination for self-rule and against taxation without representation and championing instead a -- get this -- conspiratorial narrative, in which the Revolution was fomented by -- get this -- Jews.

Well, Jews ("B'nai B'rith," the biggest Jewish humanitarian organization) and the Freemasons.



She believes literally every single conspiracy theory.

This History Buff also thinks July 4, 1776 was the date of the Boston Tea Party.

Can we not do this again in the future? That is, when a minority makes noises that maybe they're slightly conservative, can we not do exactly what we claim what only leftists do and overpromote them to the highest levels based on nothing but their race and gender?

I would love if we could stop doing that.

Seth Dillon
@SethDillon

She lies, then lies about whether she lied. Every response she receives just gives her more opportunity to dishonestly smear the people responding to her dishonest smears. There's no end to it, no correcting the record, because the lies, and the harm they cause, are the point.

The Coldblooded Christian
@ColdblodedChrit

Yeah, it doesn't make much sense!

...

Remember when Candace Owens blamed the maroon hoodie guys... or the French Legion?

Then the U.S. military and Donald Trump.

Or the bees. Or the Egyptian planes. Or the exploding mic.

Now she's back on the exploding mic... while saying Charlie was definitely shot from the front.

Do you remember?

Do you remember how she changes her target every single day -- who to dehumanize and character assassinate next?

Yeah... you remember.

It's crazy how these Candace supporters are razor-sharp critics on everything *except* Candace.

But when it's her? Excuse after excuse after excuse.

Go ahead, keep scrolling...

This is gonna take a while.

Excuse after excuse after excuse after excuse after excuse.

Excuse after excuse after excuse after excuse after excuse.

Truth over tribalism 💯
Christ over clout 🙏

That post here with video.

Me-Again specifically endorsed Cavernous Nostrils' insane antisemitic theory that Israel murdered Charlie Kirk -- she believed Important Questions must be Asked -- because, Me-Again herself says, of "Charlie's increasing skepticism of Israel."

Here's another one who we -- and I include myself here -- elevated entirely for DEI reasons. "She's a woman, she will appeal to other women, who cares if she's a liberal feminist and a bit of a retard? Look at all the D I V E R S I T Y this nasty self-obsessed cunt brings us!"

111 Charlie Kirk was a great man. He showed that natural leadership ability really does matter, and so does its absence. Those Who Would Be Our Masters have shown that they understand very well the importance of alphas and taking them out, and I hope that people are making secret lists of tall, charismatic natural leaders on the other side, for when the "safe queens" come out.

So what to do? You can't enter it to shore it up, as how the heck do you shore up a 40 story building? cribbing or floor jacks only move the load down to the next floor. Trusses might work, but you would need so many, the added weight would cause trouble.
Start at the bottom with full floor supports and work your way up?

I guess you could start throwing shit out the window to reduce the load. Or maybe get some really big cranes and pull up on it from the top. Cranes big enough to do anything probably don't exist.

Man, I have no idea what to do. Maybe shore up the bendy columns first and then at the bottom with full support, and then start at the top deconsructing. This is going to be very expensive.

There are so many cases where if the accused was a habitual rapist/criminal, the prosecution could not get their past put into the record or evidence. But they can get sound bites of Charlie's views, taken way out of context, into the record?

The defense has nothing, it is open and shut IMO that he killed Charlie. So the defense might try and put Charlie's LGBT views on trial instead of the assassin. I can't blame them for trying, they have nothing else.

A plot that involved exploding microphones in the EXACT MANNER that the intelligence agency killed or wounded many members of Hamas just a short while ago.

-----------------------------
A woman’s report of being sexual assaulted on Stanford University’s campus — sparking fear among the university community and prompting students to change their routines — has been deemed fabricated after investigators found the attack never happened.

Stanford’s Department of Public Safety (DPS) launched what it described as a “thorough investigation” into the alleged March 29 assault near the intersection of Santa Ynez Street and Mayfield Avenue after a female jogger reported being sexually assaulted by an armed man, according to The Stanford Daily.

Authorities have now concluded the crime did not actually occur, Stanford PR Director Charlene Gage told the outlet.

Gage said the same woman reported a second alleged sexual assault on April 5 that investigators likewise determined did not happen based on what she described as “strong evidence.”

229 I think what's mostly going on is that the defense attorneys are racking up the billable hours because the state is paying them. Robinson has no money and his parents flatly refused to pay for his defense. So the state is having to foot the bill. And this defense team just spent the last 20 years (!) defending a person on Utah's death row who died of old age before Utah could finally get the permission to kill the guilty as sin person.

They are trying the same playbook here. Delay, delay, delay, run up the bills. We spent a couple of months arguing over whether one of the prosecutors had to be kicked off the case because his sister was one of the 3000 kids in the crowd when Kirk was assassinated. Just stupidity.

The SPLC investigates, tracks, and combats antisemitism as part of its broader mission to dismantle white supremacy and monitor domestic hate groups. Therefore, they are Jew Lovers who sometimes finance domestic terrorism and anti-semitism. You know, sort of like being a dentist and giving the kids rock candy as a treat.

So, it's entirely possible that this was a Jewish Op financed by the SPLC.

236 Nothing will come close to touching the pure evil in the conspiracy theories connected to antisemitism. Nothing But the anti-Mormon hot takes by the Woke Neo GOPers is pretty outrageous at times.

The conspiracy rants by Candace that Mormons are in on Charlie's death, the state flag change proving it too or whatever...and, the idea Charlie's Mormon staffers were involved in a conspiracy to kill him. It doesn't have the chutzpah of "jews kill babies and boil them in matzo ball soup" levels of crazy. But it has its own brand of special.

239 For days after he was shot I looked at local news. I saw X comments from furries. One guy, who I assume was checked out, was bragging the day prior to the shooting that "something" would happen that day.

Bucktooth Furry Master admitting in writing and online and TO HIS PARENTS and a LEO that he did it, Candace and Me Again.

Candace is mental and needs electroshock therapy or a padded cell in a straight jacket with meds. Me Again is all about the clicks and $$$ as is Nostrils.

I won't watch the shooting as I am not a horrible person. The nutcase they caught right away was known by LEO for threatening fake bombs going back to 9/11 for attention. He should be Candace's roomie in the asylum.

It was not hard to follow the breadcrumbs, Candace. At all. I don't even have X and saw the ghey Furry Nation. He admitted it, again.

Every bit of the defense trying to not let the State produce evidence was shot down by the judge yesterday. All.

It will go to trial and I hope he gets the firing squad. Then Candace can camp out by the prison and weep and have a hunger strike or something. Maybe wearing a furry outfit in her grief and loyalty.

I do wonder about her poor children.

I liked her during her "redpillblack" phase, along with all the other classic democrats walking away from the party as it started to obviously go socialist. When she befriended Kanye is where she started to go a little off for me. Maybe his antisemitic views really rubbed off on her, or he let her feel comfortable letting them out?

Well, some people think there is a significant difference between ugly and repulsive. I find Greta repulsive. Because she is repulsive to me, I cannot help but find her aesthetically displeasing in the extreme. Some people can sort that out. They can look at a person and find aesthetic features pleasing on a that person even though they are absolutely awful people. Once I know you suck, you 're ugly to me. If I didn't know Grunta as a personality, if she was just in a line up and I knew nothing about her, I'd probably not find her a 1. Does that mean that I find her ugly. No - but my standards for a 1 are actually fairly high.

That is local bad actors in one region, the police being a good old boys network who happen to be mormon. Regular Utah LDS church members who find out are shocked. It goes against LDS morals to not lie and to obey and sustain the law.

And there's NO conspiracy to the Utah flag change. Our state legislators were jealous of how simple and cool other Western state's flags are (the classic Colorado C, the CA bear, Washington's seal, Arizona, etc). they wanted to make the original Utah flag's complicated seal simple. The new flag retains the classic beehive in the original Utah seal, and has a star with points representing the indigenous Utah tribes. The mountains in the flag are tacky and gaudy and junior league, but I can't fix that.

A lot of similarities to the Karmello trial here. Lotta delays, lotta crap talked on the net, lotta idiots saying “oh he’ll get off for this reason or that reason”. And then the real trial starts, it only takes 4 days, defense is incompetent , jury deliberates for 3 hours and says “Guilty, 35 years.”

In spite of all the crap talked, it was always a slam dunk case for the prosecution. But the grifting goes on! Some attorneys are now soliciting donations for a big appeal. There’s no grounds for one, but I’m sure they’ll rake in a lot of cash regardless!

LOL: Narcissist Psychopath Graham Platner Is Refusing to Drop Out of Race Unless He, the Nazi Rapist, Gets to Pick His Successor

Who wouldn't want to be known as the candidate hand-picked by the Nazi Rapist Stalker?

Maine Democratic candidate Graham Platner appears to be holding the Democratic Party hostage -- refusing to drop out after he was accused of rape unless he gets to approve his successor to run for the Senate, The Post has learned.

A source familiar with the campaign discussions said Platner, his campaign and political strategist Morris Katz are deliberating about the Maine Democrat dropping out but only if his replacement has the same anti-Israel, left-wing values that he does.

The communist Nazi wants to make sure that his successor shares his love of communism and anti-Jewish pogroms.

And the clock is ticking for Dems -- there's a deadline of Monday for Platner to withdraw and be replaced on the ballot, according to state election law.

"This vibes to me like a play from Bernie Sanders to slide in Troy Jackson," another source said.

The elderly Vermont independent -- who was Platner's biggest backer -- reportedly wants former Maine senate president Jackson to get the Democratic nomination to run against Republican Sen. Susan Collins.

Jackson, who appeared with Platner and Sanders at a "Fight the Oligarchy" rally in May, recently came in third in the state's Democratic gubernatorial primary.

Update from Washington Nearsider:

Mark Halpern said he's hearing Platner won't step aside unless his wife is his replacement.

I find this hard to believe.

I've seen conflicting reports on the bottle incident.

There are some who claim to have been there and say it was a water bottle that he -- admittedly angrily -- threw on the ground. It then bounced around and -- maybe -- hit the girl.

I don't think anyone who was actually there is saying he deliberately threw a bottle at the girl. I also don't think she was a staffer. I think she was a fellow caucus member.

Again: Do I care? No, I don't. But I want to correct the record in that this bottle-throwing incident might end up being wind-fart.

ALERT: Illegal firework leaves a California teenager who graduated 3 days earlier handless after it explodes in an In-N-Out parking lot.

Nader Hanna, 18, met up with his twin brother and some friends outside of the Pleasanton In-N-Out Burger to get some food and set off fireworks in the parking lot.

Nader, who said the group of teens had done this several times, said his buddy handed him a tennis-ball-sized firework, which immediately exploded when he lit the fuse.

“It just exploded in my hand the second I lit it… My hand took the whole blow. I looked down, and I didn’t see a hand. It disintegrated.”

His twin brother Ramsey frantically called 911 as his friend, Kevan Mokashi, ran inside the restaurant to seek help with Nader's exploded right hand.

This is the sort of stuff to throw out there and be able to ignore later, to be honest.

The rape survivor? Kept dating him for months. It gets brushed away easily enough by ignoring it, saying it was litigated, and calling it old news.

However, none of this is the "he'll have to leave the state" stuff promised to Halperin a month ago, I don't think. It has to be worse than this, and I suspect Collins has it.

165 As an American Jew, the fact a Nazi tattoo didn’t sink Platner but sexual assault might tells me everything I need to know about Democrats. We’re well beyond the pale now. Even his victim was hesitant to come forward because of “the huge moral conflict that I had between supporting his politics, but not supporting him as a person.” What a deep moral rot rests at the heart of the party that claims to have the moral high ground.

The accuser said she has friends who will still vote for him despite this. Insanity from the party of self-proclaimed perfect moral superiors

> People have been saying "if a Nazi sits down at a table" for a decade now. Lol that shit ended soon as we got a couple of pictures out of Ukraine.

I'm shocked that Jewish Americans still support democrats at all. It's quite clear they've been vehemently antisemetic for a decade or more.

it's because nobody believes he's a Nazi. He had a plausible story for how he got the tattoo, he expressed regret about it, and got it promptly covered. People do believe he's a sexual abuser. The allegations are credible and his only defense is to just deny. You don't understand the difference?

It's a rational logic that makes sense.

I just wish we could agree on the principle of it across parties instead of getting holier than thou every time something personal comes up either side.

And it does because there are soft partisans on both sides who are actively engaged by this sort of stuff (Robinson in NC for governor in 2024, for instance).

Graham Platner isn't being ejected by the Democrat party for being a drunk, nazi, rapist (allegedly).

He's being ejected because Democrats prefer representatives who are all of those things, but leave no evidence or trail of it for the public.

They want professional scumbags."

Posted by: runner at July 07, 2026 02:43 PM (GD0B3)

181 it's because nobody believes he's a Nazi. He had a plausible story for how he got the tattoo, he expressed regret about it, and got it promptly covered. People do believe he's a sexual abuser. The allegations are credible and his only defense is to just deny. You don't understand the difference?


He's had the tattoo for YEARS. And YEARS.

That's not a plausible story nor was it a 'prompt covering.'

187 Democrat proven strategy has always been, dump the unelectable of candidate, and replace with a candidate who can somehow blame the opposition for the first candidate's problems.

When Bob Torricelli dropped his Senate campaign and Frank Lautenberg stepped in (illegally)...Lautenberg and Democrats accused Republicans of weaponizing the ethics scandal and dragging the removal to the courts as a distraction from Forrester's own political issues.

They'll do the same with Platner. They will say that Republicans knew of Platner's failings in advance and didn't say anything about them, and didn't have the voter's best interests in mind. The Republicans were "immoraly" waiting to drop them for the regular election. That will be the fundamental campaign for the replacement.

This was a national story for several days. Did his hair look like something popular from the late 30s? Sure but...uh...what does that have to do with being a NAZI?

It came out later he had chemo and his "NAZI hair cut" was the best he could manage while his hair was still growing back in.

But if you expect a random HS kid to know a hair cut is a "NAZI one" how the hell can you argue an adult doesnt know the association of the Death's Head symbol with NAZIs? Its in the damn "Are we the baddies" skit by Mitchell and Webb

192 > He had a plausible story for how he got the tattoo

Horse. Shit.

Most tattoo parlors will absolutely refuse to do NAZI iconography on clients. You have to intentionally seek out a place that will do this for you.

Additionally, Platner has bragged about how he's a WWII buff. Anyone with even a moderately passing familiarity with the NAZIs will recognize the Totenkopf.

Further, if you're in a place that will do NAZI tattoos, when you're looking through their catalogues, symbols will be grouped together. Even if he somehow didn't recognize the Totenkopf, it would be surrounded by other NAZI iconography. Any sub-retard would be able to see the pattern and think, "This thing is grouped with a bunch of NAZI stuff. Maybe it's a NAZI symbol too!"

This is why I think Platner will be out by Monday. Too many high-profile Democrats trying to court the far left have disavowed the guy to have him stay in. They need him (for their own sakes) to drop out, "of his own free will," and support a more palatable replacement, and they'll do whatever they have to do to ensure it.

Many are drifting away from that position, too, through whatever mental gymnastics they need.

Vote Blue No Matter Who stopped being a thing after Mamdani's mayoral race when it was obvious that it was just a thing establishment Democrats said in order to get people to be supportive of their candidates while never genuinely meaning to reciprocating in turn with candidates they didn't like.

It's still very much a thing. There's people with tons of upvotes, today, on these communities (like r / maine) who say they will vote for Platner if he's the nominee and he stays in the race. Heck. His own accuser went on the air and said that her friends would still vote for him. She herself said “we needed more people like him in politics”.

Both sides of the intraparty fight are going to blame the other for not gaining the Senate.

The entire party seemed convinced that a clear majority was possible. They'd just need Maine, and North Carolina, and...Texas...and Ohio...and Alaska while holding onto Michigan and Georgia to do it.

And when they lose Maine by a larger margin that 2020, North Carolina comes down to the wire (I'm holding out hope for a Whatley win, but I don't think I'll bet on it), and even Georgia ends up far closer than expected...

Both will treat a couple of major races like the Maine senate as ground zero for what went wrong. And everyone will scream and no one will listen and things will get nasty.

And I will have the lulz.

There is no daylight at all between him and any other Democrap.

Everything he has said and done has already been said -- and done or at least attempted -- by every Democrap NYC mayor since Dinkins. But that's not reported by ragebait news sources who get clicks from "OMG WOULD YOU WON'T BELIEVE WHAT THIS GUY SAID NOW!"

Bill Di Blasio was far more of a true believer and more dangerous for the city. I lived through his disastrous mayor terms. He was way worse than this swarthy clown will be.

Yes, most of the voting probably happened before the first NYT story.

Still, he won with 72%. Most of the ballots were returned in the final days, and he walked away with a super majority of votes.

He is Maine's choice.

Those rich men north of Richmond are just trying to deny the voters of Maine their suffrage.

The Chicago Machine brought the politboro to national politics. Obama was never the real leader. Instead, he was the figurehead.

Then the figurehead leaves power and the politboro remains to fight amongst itself for power.

The party would probably be in healthier shape internally if they'd let Sanders win in 2020. Someone would have exerted control over the apparatus and exerted a vision to trickle down to the rest of the organizations.

Instead...fiefdoms just kept fighting each other with Biden being even more of an empty figurehead than Obama.

If you think she's a Popeyes 6 then please don't set anyone up on a blind date.

She was almost universally acknowledged to be a beauty right up until the second she was announced as Helen, and only then did some people on our side suddenly start questioning her looks.

Like the liberals did to Tyra Banks. One of the most successful models of all time. Liberals fawned all over her. But then she committed the ultimate sin in their eyes of being slightly conservative, and then all of a sudden "well, she was never that pretty anyway."

I think this is an example of how women have a hard time judging what men find attractive. She checks some boxes. Yes, she has very nice skin. She's slim. She's young. She looks healthy. She'd probably be the prettiest woman in a lot of friend circles. But as far as model or actress level of attractiveness, she's just not there.

Did you see the "hip dip" trolling some men were doing? A "hip dip" is that thing where rather than a nice round curve at a woman's hips, there is a dip toward the hip socket that rises up again and then curves to the waist.

Men were trolling women by saying that "hiplets" need to resign themselves to dating short men because nobody else is willing to date them.

Some women went absolutely bonkers over this.

412 According to reporting by the Portland Press Herald and the Bangor Daily News, Graham Platner’s federal candidate disclosure lists undisclosed income for Amy Gertner from several entities, including the Beech Hill School.

Multiple Sources: The disclosure applies this "undisclosed amount" categorization to her income from Beech Hill School, Stones Throw Catering LLC, Frenchman Bay Oyster Company, and the campaign.

Public Scrutiny: Because the candidate's disclosure offered so few specifics about their broader personal finances, media outlets highlighted these broad "undisclosed" listings as a point of missing detail in his public profile.

However, Amy Gertner, wife of Maine U.S. Senate candidate Graham Platner, stopped working as an elementary and middle school art teacher in 2024.

She left education due to burnout and began working as a business manager for the Waukeag Neck Oyster Co, which her husband operates.

Further, it's alleged she has been undergoing IVF in Europe in attempts to become pregnant.

French Court Lifts Ban on Le Pen Standing for Next Presidential -- But Slaps Her With House Arrest That Will Prevent Her from Campaiging Outside Her Home
NIGEL FARAGE RESIGNS HIS SEAT IN PARLIAMENT

First: Nigel Farage has resigned over his personal finances scandal, which I naively assumed was a lot of smoke and partisan nonsense.

Revealed: Nigel Farage secretly funded by convicted criminal

The Reform UK leader did not declare benefits including staff, security and housing by crypto-gambler George Cottrell, our investigation reveals


Beege Wellborn writes that Farage could have accepted these payments from "generous friends" if he disclosed them -- but apparently, he did not.

Farage appears to have broken MPs' rules by failing to declare that Cottrell provided funding for his operation in the year before his election.

We can also reveal that:

• The Reform leader received "in kind" benefits ranging from his back office to his private security, staff, transport and accommodation.

• Cottrell recruited and paid three staff to transform Farage's social media presence, producing content on immigration, human rights law and political correctness, and that promoted Reform...

Well, this stinks. Though I know a lot of #Based people have been very much against Farage, who they claim is a soft liberal who actively promises to not deport all the migrants. They prefer the Restore movement, led by Rupert Lowe, who led that private inquiry into the grooming gangs.

What happens to Reform now? I don't know.

Meanwhile, in France, the lawfare against Le Pen continues.

The ban on National Rally leader Marine Le Pen running in the 2027 French presidential election was overturned by the Paris Court of Appeal on Tuesday; however, other aspects of the ruling may still derail her campaign.

After over a year of waiting, the appeal court finally issued a ruling on the eligibility of three-time candidate Marine Le Pen to stand again in next year's race to replace Emmanuel Macron.

Le Pen faced a five-year ban from standing in any election in Europe over alleged embezzlement of European Union funds intended for her party's use in the EU Parliament, which were claimed to have been used to pay for party operations in France.

On Tuesday, the Paris Court of Appeal reduced her sentence from five years' ineligibility to 45 months, with 30 months suspended. This means that from the initial ban issued in March of last year, her 15 months of ineligibility would expire well before the April 18th vote next year, Le Figaro reported.

However, the court also handed down a €100,000 fine and sentenced her to three years in prison (suspended) and one year of house arrest with an electronic monitoring tag, which would likely severely limit her ability to campaign.

Le Pen had previously stated that she would not run for the presidency if she were subjected to electronic monitoring by the court. She has previously stated that if she is prevented from running, she would back her long-standing deputy, Jordan Bardella, to run in her place.

Below, Farage attempts to rally the faithful.

I'm one of them, but I'm not necessarily "against Farage." He was good on Brexit, he's done a great deal for his country, and his voice belongs in whatever coalition emerges on their Right.

But he's a British establishment stalwart, and their immigration policies are at odds with the anti-globalist Brits they attracted with Brexit, and common sense, for that matter. He is absolutely not the guy to purge the country of its Arab poison. It has to be someone else.

54 Have you guys seen any of the photos or videos of the areas surrounding French apartment complexes that house a predominant grouping of North Africans. It is unbelievable.

I wasn't aware of this, but North Africans refuse to use garbage cans, receptacles or bins. What they do is just throw the trash (any trash) out the window, off their balcony etc. and let it accumulate below. You can't see the grass anymore. Rats run wild enjoying the dirty diaper smorgasbord. And, no one cleans it up. It just festers.

The EU and UK are nothing more than a curiosity at this point, which is why I mentioned the former. They are finished, and rather than spending our energy hoping or assisting them, we should be focusing on the US and a various attempts to do the same here.

56 I just do not fully understand the motivation of so many leftists to being so permissive of illegal immigration.

Neither do they. That's the brilliance, and the danger, of people. They support it because they're told to support it and they don't really spend a lot of time thinking about why.

So they support Open Borders and also a Guaranteed Standard of Living. Kind of like supporting Personal Freedom yet Whatever the Policeman Has to Do to Get Home Safe at Night.

Heath Ledger tells Mel Gibson that 'Susan says she loves you, and misses you, but understands why you can't be here right now.'

Mitch had a hard time saying anything at all during a scheduled press conference. No way he said all that from his 'I'm brain dead, maybe dead dead' hospital bed.

Because ALL commie cocksuckers have the same goal, the total destruction of Western Civilization. And unrestricted illegal immigration inevitably leads to that goal. The commies don't care about building a utopia, that's just the lie they tell moderates to keep them quiet, before they get the chance to shoot those kneeling moderate Kulaks in the back of the neck.

And yes, this is how every leftist commie cocksucker thinks. Including your nice, Birkenstock-wearing neighbor who brings arugula salad to your neighborhood barbeques. Just ask him, he won't bother hiding the fact that he wants to kill people like you.

A Midtown high-rise was dramatically evacuated during the Tuesday morning rush when massive beams in the under-construction building started buckling -- caving in several floors and sending bricks raining down on the street under the crushing strain.

The 38-story commercial building at 235 E. 42nd St. near Second Avenue was cleared around 8:11 a.m. when panicked construction workers spotted two faulty support beams bending and starting to give way on the 21st and 22nd floors, according to the NYPD and FDNY.

The terrifying slow-motion collapse appeared to stem from ongoing construction involving the addition of at least 10 floors to the building, which is being converted from offices to apartments, sources said.

125 Ace, you're misunderstanding the Nigel Farage situation.

He's not resigning in shame or becuase he did something scandal-worthy. He's "resigning" and then immediately running for re-election to the same seat, merely t prove that the scandal i a nothing-burger. He presumes (and he's probably right) that he'll easily win re-election, and with that get a fresh stamp of approval that the public does'tt care about the "scandal,' and he can thus "put it behind him."

Truth is, the scnadal is very weak and ridiculous. He didn[t receive ahy gifts when he was actually in parliament -- he just got some "in-kind support" (transpaprtation, etc.) from some rich dude while Farage was a private citizen, which is noot illegal or scandalous. But because of obtuse election laws, some of the in-kind support happened within a year of Farage later getting elected, so therefore he could be deemed to have "not reported" it. Very weak. He's holding the new election to show the world that the public doesn;t give a hoot about this trivial issue.

Except he's not running for office again.

They're just hoping he lasts (or putting up a fiction) until early August at which point a new KY law outlines the replacement process which would invalidate the need for a special election or appointment by the governor.

Mitch getting pissy with the GOP candidate for governor last term just turned into a giant mess for him ever since. I'm just happy he's suffering.

Because they personally benefit in the short term.

They have an illegal mowing their lawn, an illegal bringing their door dash, an illegal nannying their kid, and they work at an NGO that gets funding to take care of illegals.

Asking why an upper middle class feminist likes illegals is like asking why a pothead that runs a pot shop thinks the government should legalize marijuana

157 He's starting to do the Kamala word salad thing and throw in a "thus far" to sound smart:


The precarious situation prompted surrounding buildings – including a nearby school with roughly 400 children – to be evacuated for fear more of the structure would topple, Mayor Zohran Mamdani told reporters.

“What they have found thus far is that there are structural issues with the building,” he said.

“I would say that beyond that, just for those in the immediate area to follow the instructions of those on the ground, we have seen evacuations not only of the building, but of surrounding buildings, as well as a nearby school. And I believe those actions are appropriate at this time.”

198 Word.

This morning, New York Times columnist Michelle Goldberg concedes she was completely fooled by the hype around Platner:

Last October, when stories about Platner’s tattoo and Reddit posts first broke, I went to Maine to write about him. I tried to convey what I saw: a campaign that was electrifying angry Maine voters. But I deeply regret that, impressed by Platner’s political charisma, I wrote that he was “nothing like the edgelord caricature I encountered online.” If anything, he seems to be significantly worse.

I do not say this lightly: If Platner fooled you, maybe you should find something to do with your life besides writing columns about politics. Because the U.S. political landscape is full of creeps, cretins, con artists, crooks, and cads of every kind, and it always will be. If the media has any useful role to play in our system, it is to look beyond the spin and the campaign-crafted image and to tell the world who these candidates really are, warts and all, so the electorate can make an informed choice.

212 Soccer update. The Egypt- Argentina game will last until roughly this time tomorrow as it is 3-2. After each goal is on field celebrations, confetti, fireworks, and on field interviews and post goal presser conferences that extend the actual event roughly six hours.

People forget that Gov DeSantis beat this guy in 2018 by less than 0.5%.

He would’ve been our Governor during Covid, kept us locked down, and the country would’ve never been the same.

The reason he almost won was b/c deep blue Broward County kept “finding” votes weeks after the election.

The vote fraud was stopped, DeSantis cleaned up our elections, and he won by almost 20% in 2022.

It’s amazing what happens when election fraud is cleaned up.

I have a buddy that was one of the functional alcoholics. He was drunk all day every day for over 30 years. He would stop at the quick check each morning and grab a couple of 60 ouncers on his way to work. On top of that he popped all sorts of pills whenever he had the cash for them. It finally caught up with him and he had a series of cardiac issues last month. He says he is sober now. Time will tell I guess.

That is nine years old. The world has changed. And that still doesn't speak of Islam positively, it is a recognition of Islam's political power in the UK.

You might be suspicious of him, which is rational, but don't buy into the BBC/Guardian/Mirror bullshit about him.

290 he's resigning to stand for his own resigned seat in the election. he will handily win; it is a political stunt meant to show that, despite his negligence/obfuscation, his constituency still prefers him to labour.

farage appears indeed a great deal better than the current british establishment -- perhaps even immeasurably so -- but there's no chance that any politician pulling a stunt like this ("fuck following the rules, the people still choose me") is worth a lick of trust, by my recokining.

The New York Times Knew All About Graham Platner's Rape Allegation But Deliberately Buried It
Update: North American Man-Boy Lincoln Association Grifter Rick Wilson Weighs In

They also buried the allegations of non-rape abuse by Lyndsey Fifield -- and she says she gave them the names of five friends who would corroborate the story (at least as far as her telling the same story contemporaneously).

Two of those friends, she told them, didn't know about the abuse, but could corroborate the dates of their relationship. The other three could corroborate the abuse.

The New York Times chose to only contact the two friends Fifield expressly told them could not corroborate the abuse. They didn't contact the three who could corroborate the abuse, deliberately.

Then they Times wrote that they contacted two friends "who could not corroborate" Fifield's claims of abuse.

Lyndsey Fifield
@lyndseyfifield

I actually understand why Democrat leaders didn't take our stories seriously when the Times reported them in June but are taking them seriously now.

It was by design.

The line most shared from the piece was the claim that the Times "could not corroborate" my story despite talking to two of my friends.

I gave them the contact information for five friends.

They called the two who I clarified would not know about the abuse but would be able to affirm our relationship timeline, events, etc.

They simply did not call the other three.

She also gave the NYT the names of people who could corroborate Platner "stalking" her, and apparently stalking her so menacingly she wrote to her landlord to tell him she was immediately terminating her lease to find a new place to live.

The NYT refused to contact these witnesses, too.


I also gave them the names of all my former roommates who remembered him stalking our row house (which was about 5 houses down from his) and waiting for me to return. I gave them screenshots of messages between these roommates and I discussing it.

I gave them the names of other men I dated who might have remembered him following us around the hill and showing up on my stoop after we walked home from dates to confront us. I gave them emails to my landlord urgently ending my lease and moving to an apartment across town and diary entries talking about it - all time marked.

I told them that during pre-marital counseling I had spoken to my ex-fiance about the abuse because I had to explain to him why I reacted with such terror any time he lost his temper. They said oh NO we don't need to bother HIM (or my priest). Besides, I had written about it in my diary in detail, they reassured.

As the weeks dragged on I stopped trying to give them evidence because the amount I had already given them seemed to overwhelm them and I thought it meant they clearly had more than enough to verify my every claim.

My friends might not have known the details of the abuse, but they affirmed that yes, I had told them that he was abusive--long before he ran for Senate.

Besides, they assured, my part in their reporting would be small. I thought my details would only serve to affirm Jenny and the other anonymous woman.

Jenny and I - having never met or spoken - both shared with these reporters terrifyingly similar details of intimate partner violence, coercive control, and cycles of abuse/love bombing. The third unnamed woman in the story did as well.

But tell me again how they "could not corroborate."

The New York Times did NOT report these allegations of stalking at all, and instead portrayed the relationship as "emotionally volatile" on both ends.

And there's a reason for that -- women hate three things men do: rape, physical abuse, and stalking. (The Times did admit Fifield's claims of physical abuse but, as noted earlier, refused to contact the friends who could corroborate those claims.)

David Strom writes about this and notes that while the New York Times spoke to Jenny Racicot -- the woman accusing Platner of actual rape -- and she told the Times about the rape, the Times refused to publish it at all, or even hint at it.

The Times engaged in the journalistic practice called "Catch and Kill," in which a news outlet rushes to get ahead of a story that damages one of their favorites by getting the story and either completely burying it, or doing a "modified limited hangout," in which the allegations are addressed, but in such a way as to make them less damaging or even non-credible.

The Times had been informed of the rape, but because it was shared off the record, they only described the concerns of his victim, Jenny Racicot, in the vaguest possible terms that implied that Platner's behavior was merely ungentlemanly. Here's the one paragraph they printed referring to what they KNEW was a rape:


Jenny Racicot, 41, a Maine Democrat, who said she dated him casually off and on between 2019 and 2021, said the posts deepened her belief that he did not respect women. "When I saw the old comments that he made online," she said, "I recognized a version of him that I had experiences with."

Racicot had told them, off the record, that he had sexually assaulted her. They buried it, implied his on-the-record accuser was a political operative slandering him, and gave permission to all Platner's boosters to dismiss her story as a political hit job.

I take Strom's point but there is a wrinkle here: Racicot told the Times about the rape but she refused to make that allegation under her own name. That is, while she's quoted in the story accusing Platner of unspecified past behavior, she didn't want them to use her name in connection with the rape allegation.

So, one might say, the Times used good judgment to not report a claimed rape when the actual victim (or alleged victim) refuses to clearly accuse Platner of rape.

You could say that, except for the fact that the New York Times published completely-anonymous allegations of sexual assault against Bret Kavanaugh.

Google AI's overview of the first anonymous allegations of sexual assault against Bret Kavanaugh:

The New York Times detailed an anonymous accusation of sexual misconduct against Justice Brett Kavanaugh in September 2019. Originally reported by reporters Robin Pogrebin and Kate Kelly, the allegation involved a male classmate who witnessed Kavanaugh with his pants down at a Yale University freshman party, where friends allegedly pushed his hand onto a female student.

The female student involved did not speak to The New York Times. The classmate who reported the incident stated he brought it to the attention of the Federal Bureau of Investigation and senators during Kavanaugh's confirmation process, but it was not investigated.

The publication faced criticism and scrutiny over its handling of the story, primarily because the article's editors omitted a crucial detail from the initial essay: the female student in question told friends she did not remember the incident. This omission prompted the New York Times to add an editor's note clarifying that the victim did not recall the event, and it renewed broader public debates about media reporting practices during the Supreme Court confirmation process.

So anonymous claims of sexual assault are fair game for reporting, even when the woman allegedly victimized denies the incident ever took place.

And of course the New York Times pushed Chrissy Blowsy Ford's allegations when she was still anonymous, with her "beach friends" pushing the story to media allies.

The entire leftwing propaganda media did.

Here's the New York Times pushing the story as relayed by beach friends, when Blowsy-Ford was still refusing to comment.

Letter Claims Attempted Assault by a Teenage Brett Kavanaugh

By Nicholas Fandos and Michael S. Schmidt

Sept. 14, 2018

WASHINGTON -- A secretive letter shared with senators and federal investigators by the senior Democrat on the Senate Judiciary Committee charges that a teenage Brett M. Kavanaugh and a male friend trapped a teenage girl in a bedroom during a party and tried to assault her, according to three people familiar with the contents of the letter.

The letter says that Mr. Kavanaugh, then a student at Georgetown Preparatory School in suburban Washington and now President Trump's Supreme Court nominee, had been drinking at a social gathering when he and the male friend took the teenage girl into a bedroom. The door was locked, and she was thrown onto the bed. Mr. Kavanaugh then got on top of the teenager and put a hand over her mouth, as the music was turned up, according to the account.

But the young woman was able to extricate herself and leave the room before anything else occurred, the letter says.

The woman says she considered the episode an assault. She has declined to be publicly identified, and she asked Senator Dianne Feinstein of California, the top Democrat on the Judiciary Committee, not to publicize the letter.

So the media can and often does report anonymous sexual assault allegations -- but only against Republicans.

Democrats, who claim to #BelieveAllWomen, are protected against such lying whores who lie.

Below: Jodi Kantor, who works at the New York Times and therefore would know all about the rape allegation, spun for Platner a month ago claiming the only charges against Platner concerned him being "a bad boyfriend."

Breitbart compiles a list of all the Democrats who supported, promoted, and defended this tinywanged Nazi rapist.


Noted Underage Gangbang Pornographer Stephen King says he hopes Platner remains in the race.

Then there was the other mentally-ill harpy who talked with her lawyers for a week before finally realizing that the dick that some guy whipped out in front of her at a drunk college party was Kav's.

There may have been a 3rd harpy, but IIRC all of the accusers were named -- which was a godsend to Kav as he was able to expose them as deranged politically-motivated lunatics.

Although, I have to say, knowing what I know about wild drunken college parties, the odds that a teenage Kav did whip out his dick are ... well above zero.

Eh, a lot of this is usually... codependency. Maybe that's not the right word. They feed off each other that's destructive to both.

Remember the line from Ghost and the Darkness where Michael Douglass is describing the two bullies. 'Either one on his own was manageable, but together? Together they were Hell on wheels.'

Two people often are fairly stable- except when they get together- then they are toxic as fuck. To each other. To everyone around them. Like Mutually assured destruction.

I had a low level internet stalker in college. I somehow caught her attention on some gaming message board. She got my real address, my school email address, knew my name, my dad's name, my dad's workplace, etc. Thankfully after a couple of months she suddenly lost interest, but it freaked me out.

I imagine having a stalker who was genuinely part of your life, even welcome in your bed, suddenly turning psycho and having all that information and leverage to hurt you.

Did she go to the police? No. Did she try to get a restraining order? Did she do anything that a genuinely scared and traumatized woman would do? It doesn't appear so.

Don't get me wrong: I'm not defending the Nazi. I'm saying that I continue to believe this is all an op. Just like with Fartswell. Remember him? It was wall-to-wall allegations and threats of prosecution. Then he dropped out and ... the stories instantly disappeared.

If you want to believe polling, Collins is polling better now than she was in 2020 when she ended up winning by 8.

Maine is 40% registered independent.

I don't know if that's true. Police are not interested in stalking reports, period. It's a nebulous kind of crime and it's a misdemeanor.

As one cop on this beat said to me, people justifiably get the impression that the police will only take action once the stalker has killed the victim.

On top of having the right politics and being a boarding school reliable communist and having skeletons they could use to control him, I think they liked that he could sort of be called manly.

The Democrats know they have a manliness problem. Tampon Tim actually tried to claim he fit the bill, though most men looked at him and saw a possible homosexual. Platner doesn't strike me as a homosexual. I wouldn't call him manly, but I could see how some people might.

I don't know if that's true. Police are not interested in stalking reports, period. It's a nebulous kind of crime and it's a misdemeanor.

As one cop on this beat said to me, people justifiably get the impression that the police will only take action once the stalker has killed the victim.

It is a very weird bit of human psychology when you think about it.

1) Person is madly in love with a version of the person they have in their head.
2) They pursue this person because they believe they are MFEO.
3) ???
4) When the person rejects them, their entire world comes crashing down and then they do something really stupid. It is weird in that the entire point should be that you should be happy together, so why does it turn to destruction? Makes no sense unless you are starting from a different standpoint of them making YOU happy. That's probably it.

DON'T believe the shit in your head is real.

-------------------
To say the least, this is a terrible look for the Times. The paper’s reporters failed to do the work necessary to find out Fyfield’s allegations were credible — and then smeared her in print. You can judge for yourself if they would have done the same if Fyfield was a Democrat and Platner a Republican.

In the paleolithic days when I was a reporter for the paper, this level of journalistic malfeasance would have led, at a minimum, to a serious internal investigation, with the findings publicly released.

Let’s hope the same standards hold now.

I’m not optimistic.

Jokes aside, every media outlet in Maine is owned by a non-profit progressive org (who claim to be objective), and they use the NYT's as an outide source in their Maine local newspapers, news broadcasts etc. That's why the NYT's kept this out of their story.

I dunno, Ace. Are cops likely to do anything? Probably not. But you call them anyway, if you are truly scared. What's the downside?

And cops will create a report (that's evidence if nothing else) and usually will at least talk to the accused. Sometimes that alone is enough to get the accused to back off.

Hell, I've had NYPD track me down as a witness to ask about Douche X and his alleged behavior at Party Y. I've also had NYPD contact me about my friend E___ (a lady) and her conduct to Douche Z.

I think most cops do take these allegations kinda seriously. It's just that there's usually no evidence to do anything.

I find it very strange that in not a single one of any of these PoundMeToo allegations -- not just these against the Nazi creep -- does the supposedly scared and traumatized woman ever call the cops.

Here's what a search said:
Chicago does not charge $5 as a per-call fee when you dial 911. Instead, the city imposes a monthly 911 surcharge of $5.00 on every active network connection (such as cell phone lines, landlines, and cellular-enabled smartwatches) billed to a Chicago address.This $5.00 monthly fee, which applies regardless of whether you actually ever use the service, is the highest municipal 911 surcharge in the United States.

187 Fifty years democrats beat us over the head with Cesar Chavez, then one day they denounced him, scrubbed him from memory and a week later he's no longer standing next to Stalin.

Democrats and journalists knew he was humping 15yo girls.

Then why did Schumer personally recruit Mills at all?

Why are establishment news sources the sources for these breaking stories against Platner?

There are factions within the Democrat Party, and the actual guy in charge of the Democrat Senate didn't want Platner. Schumer is more establishment than Warren.

Posted by: TheJamesMadison, discovering British horror with Hammer Films at July 07, 2026 12:42 PM (uO3MK)

195 I think the choice has been made to get him out now because they know there is much worse stuff coming from the Trump (fighting) wing of the GOP once the deadline passes. Stuff that will hurt the party.

They probably believe getting him out now on the hypermasculinity even though it's fucking RAPE is not the worst thing in the world. But more pedo Nazi stuff will be very bad for "the party" this Fall.

That's what I think. I don't think it's a matter of quickly getting this out and litigating it so they can call it asked and answered. I really don't.

So I expect he will drop out.

Yea, exactly. It's evidence if nothing else. And abused or stalked women do call the police. I know that for sure from my time doing pro bono at the clinic. The problem is that the women usually drop the charges or not follow up on them, but they almost always at least call the police. The fact that none of these women ever thinks to call the cops despite claiming to be so traumatized is very telling.

The stories of his Nazi tattoo came out from Democrat sources. The stories of his sexual abuse stemmed from Democrat media.

The Bishnoi gang is affiliated with an eco-religious sect by the same name founded in the 15th century in Rajasthan, and they worship an Indian antelope called the Blackbuck, which they consider to be a reincarnation of their spiritual guru.

Bishnoi delegates control of his gang to trusted lieutenants and regional leaders of the criminal enterprise to conduct “targeted killings, shootings, kidnappings, maimings, assaults, extortions, and drug trafficking,” court papers charge.

I don't think even the most virulent white supremacist would dream that his plan of segregating blacks from whites would ever happen.

But here we are, the Dems are segregating them:
- into sub par schools, where they pretend to educate them
- into inner cities where no one else wants to live
- by encouraging them to use weird "african" names, so they can't get jobs
- by encouraging them to speak a different language, so they can't be understood and are further isolated from the good whites.

It's totally not racist.

Remember, Democrats have been gerrymandering harder for longer.

And the current maps are built on "mistakes" from the Census in 2020 that gave, by the Census Bureau's own admission under Biden, 6-8 more seats to Democrat states than Republican ones. And that's assuming that their admission is close to accurate. Considering that the Census has said that it didn't actually count, it modeled, the population, it's probably worse.

2032 maps will be interesting to see, especially if the GOP wins the presidency in 2028 and controls the census.

And when she runs for president in 2028, she can claim "HISTORIC FIRST" woman of color to be Vice-President and Senator from two different states. And it's not like she actually has to set foot in Maine! After all, she was border czarina for four years and the closest she ever came to the border was when she flew over it at 35,000 feet on the way to Central America. Plus about a year and a half as Senator is more than enough to put it on your resume before moving on the White House. Heck, I am sure she can pop into Washington DC once or twice to vote in the Senate, provided it does not interfere with her Beyonce or Oprah payoffs, sorry, sorry, meetings, I meant meetings.

The Morning Rant

punk-monkey.jpg

A judiciary that does not reflect the cultural desires of a country is out of step with the people they are sworn to protect. A judiciary that actively subverts the obvious intent of the law, subordinating it to their own peculiar and disturbing brand of social justice is irreparably broken and must be discarded.

And this is a good start, but one that must be expanded to the federal judiciary, whose politically motivated temper-tantrums are now simply assumed to be coming after every significant policy decision by the Trump administration.

Florida Shows How States Can Restrain Rogue Judges Who Let Violent Criminals Go Free

For too long, leftist judges have flouted the law and put criminals back on the streets. Following the principles of Critical Legal Theory, which holds that the “law supports a power dynamic which favors the historically privileged and disadvantages the historically underprivileged,” they actively subvert the legal process in any way they can. This usually translates to accepting bogus claims of mental incompetence, issuing lighter sentences for serious crimes, and seeking out alternatives to incarceration. By doing so, they can do their part to remedy the “disparate impact” of the law on black Americans who proportionally commit crimes in far greater numbers than other those in other racial groups.

Pour encourager les autres!. Maybe other Florida hacks-in-black will think twice before releasing some malignant evil onto the streets of their state. Or maybe their arrogance will overwhelm their sense of self-preservation, and the Attorney General will create an "Office Of Judicial Conduct" and go after every single Judge who considers his personal morality to be superior to the will of the people of Florida.

And if that doesn't work? How about changing the law in Florida and making judges personally liable for the criminal acts of those they release? That would be a joy to behold!

Because if the judges aren't controlled through checks and balances, victim's family members will controll them permanently. It's a binary solution, and the judges get to choose which way the scales fall. I won't shed a single tear when it eventually happens either.

@ProgressiveVic
We began asking our contacts on the ground in Maine about Troy Jackson earlier today after seeing many suggestions that he should replace Graham Platner against Susan Collins.

In our discussions we have received troubling information about not only Jackson’s behavior, but the behavior of many prominent Maine Democrats toward women more broadly. Both as a result of the credibility of the sources and in the interest of not seeing our movement make the same mistake twice, we are choosing to share some of this now.

As Maine Senate President in a state senate caucus meeting several years ago, Troy Jackson in a heated disagreement struck a female colleague with a bottle he threw at her. There are many witnesses, and it appears this is a widespread open secret within Maine politics and not an isolated incident.

A solid slice of these will be dedicated Democrat partisans in all but name, but the kind of people who register as independent really are those kinds of people who will decide, "The candidate is too flawed. I'll leave the space blank," or just simply not vote.

Collins is barely going to spend any money and win by at least 20 points, no matter who the oppositional candidate is.

Especially with the KY GOP realizing that they might have delayed the Trump era in the state hiding behind Mitch's pork, but it has certainly come. Massie outside should have told them. (Not to imply Massie was Mitch adjacent, just that Trump can move primary voters against incumbents with money and name advantages.)

228 My take on Main Nazi's speech last night was he's hedging bets to see how things shape up this week.

The defiant "I DINDU NUFFIN TAH DAT BITCH" along with the defeatist "I'm looking at paths forward" strongly suggests he doesn't want to drop out, but he senses he might not have a choice depending on the fallout.

Notorious creep, sex pest, and rolly-polly fatboy Rueben Gallego immediately unendorsed him, in an obviously staged move, and so do that Ro Kanna cocksucker.

But other Dums are still hanging in there. I think we'll know in 48 hours.

I actually don't mind her.

All of her votes against us ultimately don't matter because they either don't pass or were going to pass without her. And she has some key votes to get us over the finish line (like Kavanaugh).

That's in contrast to Murkowski who just revels in fucking us over.

If we had 53 Senators, one of whom was Collins who could vote against us whenever she wanted and the other 52 voted with us all the time, she could just be another vote for leadership votes and committees.

The problem is people like Tillis, Ernst, Mitch, Murkowski. And every indication is that the number of recalcitrant representatives and senators are becoming a dying breed.

248 When I read the “law supports a power dynamic which favors the historically privileged and disadvantages the historically underprivileged,” I thought of a novel way to remedy this. How about, let's say, instead of letting the historically privileged off with nothing, and the the historically underprivileged off because we let the rich off, we hold everyone, rich or poor, to the same standard. That way justice is served, no matter who you are. And the crazy defense is no longer valid. They are to be held in a criminal mental institution until they aren't crazy anymore, then they do the sentence they have earned by breaking the law. Of course this may be too much for the libs to understand.

88 I like the detail of the clothing and objects and the natural colors. (And the mother has a nice rack.) What makes the portrait for me is the sense of spontaneity in the faces. The mother looks like she just got called by someone off to the side. The kids look like they were told to keep still but are too young, or mischievous, to comply. The little boy in the front looks like an imp. That makes a 'formal' portrait something appropriate for a home, not just a gallery. I noticed a similar effect in his other portraits.

Gerard's paintings of historical or mythological themes are impressive and show the influence of Jacques-Louis David. Definitely worth a look.

Both wishes were granted, and, by order sent by King Ferdinand, twelve of his own soldiers were selected to shoot him.

108 @Ty_Clevenger

SETH RICH UPDATE: Today an attorney for the government told me that I would soon be getting confirmation that several hundred pages of documents related to Seth Rich were found in a previously-hidden room at FBI headquarters. You may recall that on July 30, 2025, Fox News Digital reported that newly-installed FBI Director Kash Patel and his leadership team had located an unmapped / sealed area within the J. Edgar Hoover Building's SCIF.

If the FBI is still fighting transparency so hard on other fronts (and it is), then why would it acknowledge that records about Seth had been hidden in the SCIF? I don’t know. Maybe Joe DiGenova’s grand jury investigation in Miami is putting some heat on the players in DC?

I can tell you this much for sure: nobody on Capitol Hill has been willing to touch this subject with a ten-foot pole. The murder of Seth Rich – and the resulting cover-up – is as radioactive as any topic I’ve ever seen. I hope that changes soon, and I’ll post updates as soon as I know more.

BTW, I’m not suicidal. I feel great.

Yes, Islam will turn on the left. The left will not initiate the breakup. The leftie leadership might fight back, but a lot of their brain-dead followers will just accept their fate and pay the jizya.

218 Caroline Bonaparte, Queen of Naples, and Her Children, circa 1807 - 1810

Artist Francois Gerard, a Neoclassical painter best known for his portraits of celebrated European personalities, particularly the leading figures of the French First Empire & Restoration periods.
-
Caroline Bonaparte, the youngest sister of Napoleon Bonaparte, was one of the most ambitious, politically astute women of the Napoleonic era. Born in Corsica as Maria Annunziata, she later changed her name to Caroline to integrate into Paris society. Her life was defined by a ruthless drive for power, a complex relationship with her brother, and a highly impactful reign over Naples.

A young Caroline had married Joachim Murat, one of Napoleon’s most dashing cavalry generals, despite Napoleon's initial reluctance. She used her calculated charm & proximity to power to rapidly advance her husband's career.

In 1808, Napoleon appointed Murat and Caroline as the King and Queen Consorts of Naples.

In 1814, the Murats formed a secret alliance with the Austrian Empire, effectively betraying Napoleon to secure their kingdom.

Murat defected back to Napoleon's side but was executed for treason in 1815.

They don't remember the humiliating end of their last alliance with Islam - or anything else. They just see fellow travelers. It's one of the costs the old Left is paying for the Nazi-style education-free propaganda mills they set up.

J.J does a wonderful job here, both with the links and with his great commentary ( as does CBD) and Ace, of course , but nobody compels you to read all of it everyday. I would go nuttier than I already am 😉if I had to read every story about the perfidy of politicians and other crazy bad news everyday. If you aren't already doing so, consider taking a walk, listen to the birds, "touch grass" ( I don't do that, but I do smell flowers). Today I saw some huge pink and white Lillie's

The Morning Report — 7/ 7 /26

ChaoDown.jpg

Good morning kids. So a couple of big stories are shaking up the domestic political scene this morning. First and least surprising are the latest in a series of revelations about Democrat Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner:


Jenny Racicot, 41, told Politico that while she and Platner had been involved in an “on-and-off relationship,” in 2021 he allegedly “entered her rural Maine home uninvited one night” while intoxicated. Platner allegedly “forced himself on her while she repeatedly told him to stop.” “I remember him grabbing my pelvis and being really forceful of me,” Racicot explained to the outlet. “I remember the specific moment where I thought to myself, like, ‘This is no longer my choice.'”

So, a Nazi-loving Jew-hating rapist. As America's 250th birthday gradually recedes in the distance, I can honestly say I can't think of a more ideal presidential candidate . . . for the Islamic Republic of Iran.

Khamenei Funeral: Loyalists Call for Killing of Trump, Vance, and Conservative Influencers “As they passed under a bridge, mourners hurled stones at a billboard hung from above showing U.S. President Donald Trump with a bullet aimed at his head.”

If you didn't have the context, you'd swear that was a typical social media post from almost any leftist pol, media personality or average lefty wine mom.

Meh, Graham cracka Platner is just another cardboard cutout Democrat Socialist, er Socialite. Shove his ass in a Cutlass Supreme and sink it off the coast of Chappaquidick to see if he floats.

I guess I'm kind of shocked that the Democrats are not circling the wagons, given their propensity to reflexively do so every time one of their own are caught up in this kind of scandal, and sadly 99% of the time come out mostly unscathed.

“Graham Platner needs to immediately withdraw as the Democrat nominee for Senate and allow Maine Democrats the opportunity to choose a new candidate who can defeat Susan Collins,” Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and Democrat Senatorial Campaign Committee (DSCC) Chair Sen. Kristin Gillibrand of New York said in a statement. “The DSCC will not invest in the Maine Senate race if Platner remains on the ballot.” Democrat Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren also joined the pile-on, saying in a statement that “the best path forward is for Graham Platner to step aside,” while Democratic Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker wrote on X that Platner “must drop out” and that the party “should continue to stand with all survivors of sexual assault.”

Given this story and the rise of the DSA to preeminence in the Dem party, I can't understand how they are now seeing Platner as toxic waste.

A new YouGov survey found Democrats are more likely to view the Black Lives Matter flag positively than the American flag, with 74 percent expressing a very or somewhat positive opinion of the BLM flag compared with 72 percent for the U.S. flag. The poll also found ten percent of Democrats held a negative view of the American flag. Among Republicans, just ten percent said they viewed the BLM flag positively. The survey also measured reactions to other flags and symbols, finding only three percent of Democrats had a positive view of flags associated with President Donald J. Trump, while nine percent viewed the Confederate flag positively and 27 percent viewed the Palestinian flag favorably. The findings were released shortly after a Marist poll reported that fewer than half of Democrats said they were proud to be Americans, compared with 93 percent of Republicans. A 2025 Gallup poll similarly found a sharp partisan divide in national pride. YouGov surveyed 1,088 U.S. adults online between June 30 and July 2.


Elsewhere we have news that Mitch McConnell is unwell, or perhaps fast approaching room temperature.

Before politics enters the room, prayers should. I can't read about a possible heart crisis or stroke without thinking of my father, who lived through a heart attack, suffered a stroke, and endured hard months before he died.
Families live inside those hours; they're not campaign props.
But McConnell isn't only a husband, father, and grandfather. He is Kentucky's senior senator, holding one of 100 seats in a chamber where every vote cast decides war powers, judges, spending, taxes, and the president's agenda. If he's recovering, Kentucky deserves to know enough to trust that recovery. If he's gravely ill, Kentucky deserves honesty without cruelty.
Conservative activist Laura Loomer and journalist Desiree Townsend claimed Monday that McConnell has been declared “brain dead,” citing unnamed sources. McConnell's office hasn't confirmed or denied that claim.

Mitch McConnell's record has to say the least been spotty at best when it comes to advancing an America first constitutional agenda and opposing the Democrat traitors who have run wild especially since the coming of Obama and well before that. McConnell and all the other elderly doddering career politicians on both sides of the aisle who enrich themselves via elective office are why we desperately need term limits, as well as the severest of penalties for graft. Public flogging perhaps.

As if to underscore that, we have McConnell's wife.

Former U.S. Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao traveled to Beijing just three days after her husband, Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY), was rushed to the hospital following an apparent heart attack that required CPR.

Nope, not a smidgen of a hint of corruption at all, eh? This would be the same China that's doing this... Between Chao, Swalwell, the late Feinstein whose lifelong chauffeur was a Chi-Com spy and how many others nationally and locally who are the same, as well as all the spies in our academic institutions and the private sector, it's a race to see who finishes us off first, them or the Muslims...

The Congressional Research Service (CRS) has tracked Chinese nuclear and missile proliferation concerns across multiple decades and report iterations. The six editions examined here span the period from May 2021 through May 2026. Taken together, they reveal a consistent underlying pattern—Chinese government-level transfers have largely ended, but a persistent, arguably worsening problem of Chinese entity-level proliferation continues unabated—while the diplomatic and rhetorical framing around that problem has shifted considerably over time.

These transfers undermine the official Chinese position—namely, that China firmly opposes the proliferation of nuclear weapons, missiles, and related technologies/means of delivery and commits to rigorous export controls while balancing nonproliferation with the peaceful uses of dual-use technologies, especially for developing countries (see “China's Non-Proliferation Policy and Measures").

Our Navy operates around 100 Nukes. We should be the experts in SMRs. We need a Henry Ford that can produce one or 2 every month and then get to 1 a week.

And so I was waiting, time was 9.15, 9.30, I gotta go, I didn't have what I needed. And long story
short, the president needed to push the meeting back an hour, which saved me, because this guy
who was responsible for printing refused to print it because he disagreed with what was on the
paper. And turns out he actually did print it, but then he locked it in his desk and refused to open
his desk.
My chief of staff went down and said, the director needs to present this to the president. We need
this. And he said, no, I refuse.
And so my chief brought down my head of a general counsel who said, the director needs this for the president. I refuse. And he would not do this until his boss back at his home agency said it
was okay to do it.
Ridiculous. There are other examples that are far more serious and grave that would make you
concerned for the integrity and future of our republic as I am. We must remain vigilant.

I noticed the bargain basement stuff really isn’t. Maybe they cheap out on the flour used to make it. If you’ve got a dish that needs more cooking, al-dente is the way to go, but the cheap macaroni won’t hold together.

I’ve a great recipe for Trailer Trash Goo-Lash that uses elbow macaroni. Great comfort food. Authentic to no known cuisine other than it tastes great

142 Khamenei Funeral: Loyalists Call for Killing of Trump, Vance, and Conservative Influencers “As they passed under a bridge, mourners hurled stones at a billboard hung from above showing U.S. President Donald Trump with a bullet aimed at his head.”
If you didn't have the context, you'd swear that was a typical social media post from almost any leftist pol, media personality or average lefty wine mom.


Under the Biden Junta a retired vet made social media posts threatening Biden. The Junta sent an assault team and shot him with the FNM and media arguing anyone that makes a threat to harm the president deserves such a visit.

Now any time I go to a letwingers *routinely* post the same sort of threats on social media and I'm told that they have freedom of speech to call for this.

Note this isn't people saying they hate Trump, he should be impeached, he should be arrested, etc - these are flat out calls for murder/assassination

146 From the overnight:

Harry Truman, for all his faults, had no hesitation whatsoever about dropping the bomb and often said so, repeatedly. I don’t know where this canard got started.

He generally lamented the great loss of life of the war in general. He was an old Artilleryman from World War First.

The thought process by many was while civilian casualties from any bombings conventional or otherwise were horrific the ultimate objective was to end the war as soon as possible, ultimately saving more lives in the long run. It was a difficult time for sure.

148 >>The only reason ANYONE is backing away is because now a leftist in good standing is accusing him. They were all totally okay with him assaulting non-leftists and/or children on Kik.

I think it's a bit more evil than that. It was Democrats who released this information not Republicans. Maine election law gives the nominee until July 13th to drop out and after that he stays on the ballot.

Platner has been falling rapidly in polling and Maine polling is notoriously weighted toward Democrats. He was going to lose and the Party knew it. So they knifed him and forced his hand.

The reason they are backing away is he was likely going to lose big and that is what the Party can't tolerate. Now they will force him to drop out and replace him. Probably still lose but at least they won't have to spend months battling these scandals instead of running a race. They don't give a damn about ethics, they care about winning.

Lefties repeat narratives they don't think for themselves.

And the classic example of this is still in a live taping of the Colbert show he announced Trump had fired Comey and the crowd cheered - remember the FNM was telling people at the time Comey was a bad man for mentioned Hillary had committed felonies even if he wasn't going to prosecute her for it.

But then Colbert spent 5m browbeating and voxplaining to his audience and eventually they started booing the news instead.

Perhaps some if that is going on. But I assume this is a big, important debriefing, consolidation of accounts, and tying up of loose ends. The Chinese are having to wind down a thunderously successful intelligence operation on short notice, at an innopportune time. Dead men have no more influence to wield over the people who've protected them, and the President has an extremely hostile relationship with McConnell's cadre and the Chinese government.

We can all see that all of the energy in the Democrat Party is now with the communists. They are a lot more organized than they were even a few years ago and they discovered a real weakness in our electoral process and are exploiting it.

We, this group of morons, might be highly energized and involved and will go vote but overall the average voter is apathetic and doesn't bother no matter how much they talk. The communists are winning primaries by turning out. That's what happened in NY and that's what happened in Maine. Platner won his primary without the Party.

But it's been obvious for some time he was going to lose to Collins and rather than spend time and money supporting a rapist who was going to lose anyway they took him out. In the long run the communists are taking over the Democrat Party. It's not a joke and people on both sides of the aisle need to realize the fight is no longer R vs D, it's Freedom vs Tyranny.

I watched, too. My takeaway: The Belgian team was fully-grown, late-20s to mid-30s, vastly experienced in Euro competitive soccer, men. Playing against a USA team of younger, not as experienced, not as strong and tough, players. Belgium pushed the USA players around on offense and defense and the USA team could not equally or more push-around the Belgians on offense and defense.

I expect it will always be this way with USA-citizen teams. Unless skilled American soccer players (a small percentage to begin with of our top skill-player athletes) can make enough money to play until they match the experience and toughness of European and Central/South American national teams. How many American-born and bred soccer players are stars in the big pro leagues in Europe?

207 I watched, too. My takeaway: The Belgian team was fully-grown, late-20s to mid-30s, vastly experienced in Euro competitive soccer, men. Playing against a USA team of younger, not as experienced, not as strong and tough, players. Belgium pushed the USA players around on offense and defense and the USA team could not equally or more push-around the Belgians on offense and defense.



I read somewhere this morning that Belgium didn't play their starters until the 2nd half and were already kicking the shit out of the Americans.........

208 It will be interesting to see how the Dems replace Platner with - if it is Mills or Gideon that would be a win for the Dem old guard - both of them are the platonic ideal of a Karen.

I think the problem is that it is also clear to the Dems either would lose.

Now if you wanted to placate the Platner boosters I assume you'd have to pick a Somali at this point.

LOL The people who said it's boring about 10 times? I am not a soccer fan ( in that I don't watch it ) but it's not a game of "kickball". I have never heard of a game of kickball in elementary or middle school that lasted up to two hours . I also think they are flopping because people are either stepping on their feet or they get run into or they trip over the ball, not because they're doing athletic histrionics Millions of people enjoy soccer. Millions of people don't. It's ok whatever their opinion. You are not automatically "anti American" because you enjoy it.

Janet Mills chances are wrecked; she ran in the primary and lost. So that would be the Dem Party saying “HA-ha! We know you already voted against her but we’re giving you the chance to repent of your error.”

Voters will just love that.

Posted by: Tom Servo at July 07, 2026 07:23 AM (F297B)


I think the conventional wisdom was that she did not, in fact, have a chance; in a hypothetical contest between two bland old women, Collins was the more proven winner. So, 'They' weren't willing to prop her up, if she couldn't even win the primary on her own.

Following this logic, it stands to reason that Mills will not be the Party's choice, if they manage to pressure Platner into dropping out. I don't know who they would pick tho.

That 45% will always vote for the Bigger Government Party.

Pure speculation on my part, but also not having watched anything but highlights and reading about matches the US played in this tournament, what took the field yesterday didn't have anywhere near the same talent, headiness or preparation than they did in their previous matches.

Not really true anymore. Our generation doesn't care that much but younger ones do. Youth soccer in the US is growing like a weed and far outpacing Little League and other traditional sports with the younger generations.

Soccer has been THE game around the world for generations. They traditionally have much bigger pipelines and the support is fanatical. We're catching up fast but the delta between the US team and the world's best teams is still wide. In time, the US team will be as competitive as any in the world.

My wife, who is a sports medicine physician that takes care of the professional soccer players for our local team here - got very upset at me because I called soccer the sport you become a fan of if you want to be seen as educated, elite, global and generally better-than-thou.

Our local pro hockey team owner is also a minority owner in the local soccer team, and is jealous of all of the attention that the new soccer team is getting in town, so he hired the same marketing consulting company to analyze why the hockey team doesn't get as much attention in the same little market as the soccer team does. The fact that he doesn't know who his working class customers are for the hockey team versus the educated progressive wannabe worldly self-appointed elites of the soccer team, is concerning. Supposedly he's going to rename and rebrand the hockey team which would be absolutely devastating.

282 Or should we just overlook that because he's dying in a hospital and she fled to China shortly after he was admitted?

It's been reported that her 'fleeing' to China had been a long planned trip. It's also been reported, albeit not confirmed, that's she's already returned from her escape to a non-extradition country.

No. I think that she should be immediately executed for spying since reddit has determined that this is the case.

283 271 - it doesn't help that hockey is an extremely expensive sport to start a kid in. A soccer ball is cheap as is a basketball.

I'm an ice hockey goalie in a men's league.

I just bought my last set of gear after my old stuff got too worn out. Stepping onto the ice cost me about $4,000, just in equipment.

For kids, who aren't goalies, you could get them dressed for about $500. Then you're paying for ice time.

Hockey is obscenely expensive.

But I think the more interesting part is the time frame - 1993 shortly after the end of the cold war and likely around the time China started ramping up its influence peddling operations in the US.

288 The U.S. has better sports than the rest of the world.
For one simple reason: the possibility of the comeback.

And let's face it. The free market allows for advanced equipment, huge stadiums with clocks measuring the microseconds, jumbotrons the size of the Grand Canyon and 23 different camera views allowing us to see how many blades of grass touched the ball as the player broke the plane of the goal line.
Ain't bragging if you can do it.

296 >>The fact that he doesn't know who his working class customers are for the hockey team versus the educated progressive wannabe worldly self-appointed elites of the soccer team, is concerning. Supposedly he's going to rename and rebrand the hockey team which would be absolutely devastating.

The reason soccer became so popular around the world is not because it is the sport of the elites. Just the opposite. It is the sport of even the poorest people because all you need is a ball.

Look at some of the biggest soccer stars in the world. They didn't come from the elite, they came from the barrios and slums of the world. Travel around the world and you will see young kids in the poorest neighborhoods playing soccer. I was in Brazil one time and woke up to headlines in the local media that a referee at a game between two Brazilian club teams was murdered and decapitated after the game for what was perceived as a bad call against the home team.

It's the same as basketball and why it's so popular with inner city kids. All you need is a ball and hoop.

Tried watching some of the World Cup, the American team matches. First, it is mostly decided by the officiating (strong Olympics biased judging vibes). Second, the fans are, in general, a$$holes. You've got the notorious European soccer hooligans, and then the team Mexico fans are known for making a racket against the other team's hotel so they can't sleep (music, fireworkes, etc.).

309 Hey ACE and COBs, I think one of your routine presentations, like the Daily Report, should always include a brief snippet from the Koran.
Include a warning, identifying whether the snippet is from the Meccan or Medinan verses.
Regular readers will soon recognize the difference.
The Meccan verses sometimes recapitulate Judeo-Christian stories ; the Medinan verses can be counted on to be hostile to Western Civilization.
P.S. Wikipedia has been goofy about their spelling choices of “Quran”,”Maccan”, “Mahdinan”, etc.

Sure the players aren't largely from the elite class across the world - but to be a fan of soccer means that you're not a rube hick that hasn't left the borders of your county or state.

It means you see the American disdain for soccer as a backwoods and hick - how could someone really hate a sport that is beloved across the planet if not for ignorance and bigotry?

Which is why I see soccer as really gaining popularity in mostly "blue" areas - aka places that hate America (and Americans).

Kristin Gillibrand of New York said in a statement." (And, Ro Khanna takes the hit for the US House side.)

Of course. Well planned. They're very reasonable politicians, and they'll leave the people with that fact - which the press will cover without end, prior to Platner's replacement and beyond - though their extended summer break. And afterwards, all hell breaks out over the mid-terms and they're in the clear. (Bet it'll also take ages to find out how defective the candidate who follows is.)

Plus lately I've been seeing starlink dishes on top of cars going down the road. It seems to be a happening thing. If I didn't get such good cellular internet I'd consider it.

24 Also given how dire the Xbox situation is, even if they don't all deserve this they had to have known it was coming.

I remember a layoff cycle at a company I worked at 30 years ago...they didn't tell folks exactly who was being laid off, but IT knew and had removed their server access and their server private directories ahead of time, so everybody figured it out pretty quickly... OOPSIE... Company learned from this and didn't do that the next layoff cycle...

39 My experiment treating a Samsung Tab S11 Lite with the Slim keyboard as a very light duty PC that I can keep the glove box of the car is going much better than I thought I would. This is working out for a several reasons.

The hardware itself is well built, has a pretty good screen, has an SD card slot if I get to be a pack rat, and the performance of it is completely sufficient. The keyboard is a bit cramped but for knocking out quick emails, a quick note or updating a spreadsheet it's totally sufficient. The battery in life is excellent. The stereo speaker system is sufficiently loud for watching movies.

The way I got around Android tablets having a crappy file system is that I use OneDrive to handle that task. The app is well integrated into Android so it works very well.

Samsung One UI desktop is a far cry from the crappy software they used to kick out. It's actually very polished and quite useful. The critical component is it has a taskbar that runs along the bottom of the screen and that allows you to pin all your usual suspects. Plus it has a stripped down version of Dex that you can hop into and suddenly you have a rudimentary windowing PC.

40 For the people who can't get out to walk because it's too hot or you don't belong to a gym, you might consider going to the store if you can. It's air conditioned there and if you go in the early morning you have open aisles to walk in. If you go later in the day you can find interesting people to see- and talk to -if you chose to. Yesterday there was a lovely mom and her beautiful little daughter
I told the mom how lovely her daughter was. The daughter was three. It can make someone's day if you give them a compliment and it makes you feel better too. I realize that speaking to ladies might be a bit problematic if you're a man.

Oh, yes, there was a very tall man with an energetic bouncing boy of about five, but I didn't speak to them.

42 S11 is a typo.

Samsung - Galaxy Tab S10 Lite - 10.9" 128GB - Wi-Fi - with S-Pen - Lite Gray is the correct model. This is something you strictly buy on sale. The current prices are between $300 and $400 for the tablet and about $140 for the keyboard. I paid about $325 for the two and it's not worth a penny more than that.

54 re Starlink:
- burning up satellites; wow, they are really looking for any possible way to hurt Elon, aren't they?

- Starlink is becoming competitive with our current provider at $55/mo; we will join up soon, I'm pretty sure. For us, the decision is almost completely political, I want our money to support someone we respect as an unstoppable innovator, plus someone who is on "our side". Service probably isn't much better or worse than the wire, so who cares. Pro tip: keep the dish free of snow (for those who get water crystals in season).

With all his other transgressions I doubt a documented rape does him in, but who can say? Democrats clearly want him gone, and they want the ability to name his replacement, skipping the gamble of a primary (where activists elect people like Platner!), so they have a week to do him in. If this rape doesn't do the job, Democrat poobahs will keep at it in hopes of finding even worse.

The Quotes of The Day

Quote I

“We see masked agents terrorizing our streets, eating food cooked by our undocumented neighbors before spiriting them away in unmarked vans,” he said. “We see a nation whose immense wealth has been built by those with callous dirt streaked hands, those who toil on factory floors and chisel into stone. And we see a nation that has allowed so much of that wealth to be held instead in the soft hands of a precious few.” NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani


Quote II

The newly emerging socialists, like recent congressional nominees Darializa Avila Chevalier or Analilia Mejia, can never explain why their parents left socialist paradises in Latin America to come to cutthroat capitalist America. Victor Davis Hanson


Quote III

“Now, do I like their political position? Yes, I do. I believe that reproductive rights are a thing. And I think that they are obviously invested in women, and they should be. And that taking it from them was taking a right from women. And that’s the first time I’ve seen that done, except for prohibition. And I think it was wrong. But legally, I think it was the right decision.” Chris Cuomo

Once again, The ONT Is Always Looking Out For YouTM

Nude Recreation Week invites everyone to explore the benefits of naturism and body positivity, running from Monday, July 6 through Sunday, July 12, 2026. This week encourages shedding inhibitions along with clothes, promoting a natural and liberating lifestyle. Join the movement by visiting a naturist resort, learning about the community, or simply embracing self-acceptance.

Well here in the Frozen Tundra the deer and horse flies are as thick as thieves in Washington D.C. No way I'm going to embrace self-acceptance with those little blood suckers.

As many of you know, I think the world of the late great Frank Zappa. Imagine if the Maestro had been alive for our recent 250th birthday. I wonder what beautiful piece of music he would have created. Because in 1975 he put out this wonderful song about our bicentennial in 1976. As a caveat, Zappa's "Bongo Fury" was my first Zappa LP I purchased as a teenager from a little shop called Pipe Dreams.

Is this this the time in history where the common man who has everything left to lose says "Fvck it!? US Air Force Engineer Charged With Sawing Down Flock Surveillance Cameras Receives Thousands of Dollars from Supporters Across the Country
"There has been community support for me that I humbly welcome."

Hundreds of freedom lovers are rallying behind a US Air Force engineer accused of chopping down over a dozen AI-integrated surveillance cameras last year.

According to local channel WAVY, Virginia-based Air Force engineer and mechanic Jeffrey Sovern is facing 13 counts of destruction of property, as well as six counts of both petit larceny and possession of burglary tools related to the destruction of Flock license plate cameras.

These automatic license plate readers, or ALPRs, are starting to blanket the United States, spreading across small towns and bustling cities alike by the thousands. While ostensibly framed as crime fighting tools, the AI-powered spy devices have raised significant privacy and social policy concerns, especially as innocent citizens get caught up in the dragnet. Like AI data centers, they’ve become a hot political issue at the local level, fueling public outrage and organized campaigns from coast to coast.

Maybe 2020 did plant some seeds of rebellion. Time will tell.

Speaking of rebellion. A Happy Belated Birthday to our great country. Some exceptional drinking before we were officially a country.

The Pilgrims stopped at Plymouth Rock because they ran out of beer. The U.S. Marine Corps was founded in a bar. One of the reasons Prohibition failed in in the United States is probably because this country was founded on and was fueled by booze from the get-go—and there just isn’t a lot Americans won’t do to keep the party going a little longer.

The best example of this might be the legendary Revolutionary War leader Ethan Allen and his Green Mountain Boys, whose first order of business after famously taking Fort Ticonderoga from the British was to raid its liquor stores and “drink the place dry.”

9 “We see masked agents terrorizing our streets, eating food cooked by our undocumented neighbors before spiriting them away in unmarked vans,” he said. “We see a nation whose immense wealth has been built by those with callous dirt streaked hands, those who toil on factory floors and chisel into stone. And we see a nation that has allowed so much of that wealth to be held instead in the soft hands of a precious few.”

10 The Pilgrims stopped at Plymouth Rock because they ran out of beer. The U.S. Marine Corps was founded in a bar. One of the reasons Prohibition failed in in the United States is probably because this country was founded on and was fueled by booze from the get-go—and there just isn’t a lot Americans won’t do to keep the party going a little longer.
The best example of this might be the legendary Revolutionary War leader Ethan Allen and his Green Mountain Boys, whose first order of business after famously taking Fort Ticonderoga from the British was to raid its liquor stores and “drink the place dry.”

17 Evening again, folken! I've got a little while before I feel ready for bed, so here I is. The video tour of the house I was interested in got canceled -- the place is already pending a sale. But! Another cottage just popped up that checks almost all the boxes. No basement, but a 2-car garage, and the floors are already hardwood. Brick facings in the kitchen, a kind of small dining area right behind that, and the blocks around the place look good. Maybe we can get a video tour before somebody else grabs it.

Saw the score of that soccer game. USA lost. (shrugs). Would have been nice to see them go farther, maybe even win, but soccer just isn't our game. I'm sure the left will orgasm over the result and the usual suspects will blame Trump. The actual reason is Belgium is better at soccer. Much better. They are always in the mix with international soccer competitions. The result isn't a surprise.

I'm still binge listening to Ella Langley.

Mostly sandblasted I think. My aunt had a boyfriend who did that sort of work onsite, in graveyards. When the surviving spouse died, there was a need to put the dates on the stone, so he did it with a latex mask for the stone, and a portable sand blaster.
I suspect the stone fabricators now also use waterjet cutters, especially for the deep patterns, though that is not something you can do in a cemetery.

53 Ho hum, no more soccer. I didn't watch a single second of it. In the United States, soccer is properly referred to as "recess", in that we're a well-to-do country who only plays that pointless game as grade school children at recess.

We're the United States. We can afford basketball shoes and indoor courts, football pads and helmets, and baseball gloves and spikes. We're not like those crappy countries who count on a single soccer ball entertaining 20 kids at a time.

And we have two hands but we can't use them? How stupid.

54 A Portland leftist "independent journalist" figures out to deal with the Graham Platner issue - feminize the Democratic Party even more.

The damning Platner allegations show that the left needs to make a sincere effort to run more women/non-male candidates.

Bring on the Democratic tranny candidates!

The problem that the Democratic Party is trying to deal with is that working-class white males are starting to vote as lopsidedly as black females (in the opposite direction), and there are a lot more working-class white males than black females.

108 18 -- Anna Puma -- I believe the two were enough. They did the job of forcing the Japanese military to surrender. The Allies' estimations of dead and wounded on both sides should they have invaded Japan is justification for dropping both. The idiot peaceniks preach that Truman got up on the wrong side of the bed and so decided to drop the bombs for no reason whatsoever. They fail to make the connection with Pearl Harbor, the Greater East Asian Co-Prosperity Sphere, the Rape of Nanking, and the huge number of other Japanese war crimes.

On a personal note, my father happened to be swanning around the Pacific on a resupply ship at the time. If the war had gone on for the estimated extra year without the bombs, I would not be here.

Mostly likely neither would I. My dad was shipped from the Philippines to Japan and thought he'd die in Japan...only to find the war was over when their ship landed.

Oh, and Truman didn't want to drop the bomb at first. The story I heard was that one of his advisors told him, "What will you say, at your impeachment in two years, when it comes out all those men who are going to die in Japan could have been saved by dropping a bomb on Japan earlier?" That changed his mind quickly.

Belgian men are tiny, at least the few I noticed in Brussels and Bruges.

We got on a commuter train to Bruges and three dimwits were hogging 4 seats for the hour ride. I went over and asked nicely to sit down. One scooted over. They were drinking beer and snotty to me and I typically make friends everwhere. I tried to smile and say how pretty the country was vs informing them they'd be speaking German vs Finnish without us in WWII (which I could not understand). Two got off and the remaining one was nicer to me.

We were talking about the Carolina Bays a few nights ago. Fascinating development on that from some stuff I was skimming over and a podcast I'll listen to at length later.

One of the main researchers on that, part of the Comet group, thought they were formed during the possible YOunger Dryas impact. Well, he's now convinced it predates that a long time. Roughly 780,000 years ago.

There's a tektite field in Southeast Asia and Australia which was deposited around that date. The impact crater has never been identified.

Until probably now. Big impact near Saginaw, Michigan. Threw up chunks of ice from the ice sheets into suborbital ballistic arcs. These formed the Carolina Bays.

The chemical signature of the tektites in Australia matches that area of Michigan. So, that impact threw chunks of Michigan that made it all the way to the other side of the planet. Fascinating.

There isn't any. Crusader is venting impotently. It's a disease on the Right, sadly.
Obama was born in Hawaii to a legal citizen of the US, Ann Dunham. Everyone knows it. Crusader knows it. And in 2008 the voters knew it, and chose him over that wondrous pro-American never-corrupted hero stalwart John McCain.

That was shady as fuck and not a good look for the team. Sure stuff like this happens al the time but for crying out loud you do it behind the scenes with intermediaries. Qatar obviously bribed fifa to get the World Cup but they didn’t openly boast about it.

Balogun played like shit in the end and you can’t blame him. A media firestorm will do that, totally unfair for him since he had nothing to do with the decision. And everyone else was affected as well. This was not the team we saw earlier. Not even close.

169 Oh, and Truman didn't want to drop the bomb at first. The story I heard was that one of his advisors told him, "What will you say, at your impeachment in two years, when it comes out all those men who are going to die in Japan could have been saved by dropping a bomb on Japan earlier?" That changed his mind quickly.

*****************
My father loved Truman for what he did. And he told me I would not be here if he had to be part of the invasion of Japan. I was born a decade later.

In the 1st Marines and was gone for 30months in the jungle islands of the South Pacific. Got malaria. I cannot imagine what my grandparents and aunt went through. He had not met my mother yet.

My grandmother would somehow get food to him as often as possible. She pickled eggs and sealed them a can and she was very popular with his friends, especially her cookies, etc. He shared whatever she sent. She learned to cook and sew at a convent on the MS/LA border and was very good at both. I loved her dearly as her only granddaughter.

They'll handle the quotidian business of the administration, and broker the handover of power from the older generation to the DSA, while seeing to it that the old guard gets to asset strip enough of this country's wealth to keep them aquiescent and make sure it goes smoothly.

During that period, they'll seek to arrange the pieces for the actual, pure Socialist government to follow, and then one of these goons will step forward to lead it out in the open.

This seems to me to be their best path forward, and the one the Dems are coalescing around.

229 Harris' Indian mother was 'the daughter of diplomats,' her father eventually became a naturalized US citizen (who taught Marist theory).

She's like an Obama derivative.

A foreign diplomat's child born in the United States does not automatically receive U.S. citizenship. Because accredited diplomats are not subject to U.S. jurisdiction, these children are exempt from 14th Amendment birthright citizenship, though they are recognized as Lawful Permanent Residents at birth.

However, U.S. citizenship is automatically granted at birth if the child has one U.S. citizen parent and one parent with diplomatic immunity.

The point being, it's not accidental.or coincidental. All of this crap was planned a long time ago.

Smart, savvy campaigner. He appears to have largely built his political machine, instead of relying on organizations like Justice Democrats to do it.

As mayor, he's making deft maneuvers with the existing power structure to carve up NYC's extremely valuable real estate markets, and funnel the proceeds to his own political machine, with massive rakeoffs to the donor class - they'll be the ones to scoop up the properties whose ownership Mamdani is currently purging, and pay for his future in the Party.

In short: he's everything AOC, Walz, Harris, etc. are not. He's competent. He'll go up from here.

125 kya, sea levels were 30' higher than today (that was one of things that pushed the Carolina Bays back before that high water mark). That was the peak of the last big interglacial period. Temperatures quite a bit warmer than anything projected by the Warmunist idiots.

An obviously "human activity" had nothing to do with that interglacial peak.

Over tens and hundreds of million of year cycles, the Erf oscillated between "icehouse" and "greenhouse" states. Icehouse = polar ice caps, greenhouse - no polar ice caps.

Last greenhouse state was over 34 million years ago. Sea levels maybe 300 - 450' higher. Antarctica was still at the pole, but was a nice, warm, subtropical climate.

Mean summer temperature maybe 68F, mean winter maybe 54F or so. Life was thriving there, and completely adapted to the polar day/night cycle. That just fascinates me. Plant life adapated to 6 months of continuous sun, followed by 6 months of night. Animal life adapted there as well.

Again, Mandami's father: He was among the many students in the northern United States who made the bus journey south to Montgomery, Alabama in March 1965 to participate in the civil rights movement for a march organized by the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee. Mamdani was jailed during the march and allowed to make a phone call.

I’ve read a fair amount of the history leading up to this, and never heard that. He kept a diary explaining his thoughts. He wasn’t real happy about it, but the driving emphasis since the program developed, was “this bomb may end the war”. It is impossible to overemphasize this point.

I think at that time South American was still connected to Antarctica, and that broke up any chance of the circum-antarctic current that keeps Antarctica cold today.
This is what makes me suspect that during the two Dryas interludes Drake's passage was glaciated over, and this kept South America warmer in spite of the ice age.

That was very gracious of him, the way he let the other guitar player have a big solo, and even stopped playing entirely for the bass showcase. That was the point where I realized that there was no acoustic double bass hiding somewhere else on stage, the visible bass player was just making his electric sound that way...

Fascinating. Plants (and animals) in the warm polar regions adapted with much stronger seasonal behavior. Rapid growth during summer and long daylight periods, and dormancy during the longer low-light polar night periods.

The animals sort of did the same. "Torpor" during the low light periods. LIke Uncle Joe, they moved kinda slow. Then, come summer, they sped up.

Has it got a Leslie speaker? Those are what gave the B3 that distinctive vibrato.

There is a musician, Virgil Brown, who did an album in 2006 called Smoke Rings. He played his guitar through a Leslie speaker, resulting in a very moody sort of sound. I saw him live in Calgary around that time. Excellent album. Can be found on Spotify and Apple Music.

"The medical report into the man’s death described him as a 5ft11 black male weighing nearly 19 stone."

19 stone = 266 pounds

I had to look it up. An 1824 act standardized it at 14 pounds per stone for the official British imperial measure. In a minor bit of rebellion against their EU masters, they still use it for human body weight; a 1985 act forbade its use for commercial trade, but selling people is illegal too, so that cancels out. The proper use for e.g. 160 pounds would be "11 stone 6."

There is a musician, Virgil Brown, who did an album in 2006 called Smoke Rings. He played his guitar through a Leslie speaker, resulting in a very moody sort of sound. I saw him live in Calgary around that time. Excellent album. Can be found on Spotify and Apple Music.

My grandparents did not march, but were part of a key moment in the civil rights movement. There's plenty of evidence of what happened, and they paid a dear price for it by having to uproot their family because of the backlash. But a new Christian college in Iowa benefitted quite a bit by that move. God works in mysterious ways.

307 Debby-- several of my elementary school teachers had a piano in their classrooms. I remember playing one in 2nd grade, for the class. Can't recall the song. (Mom was still trying to teach me then, and it wasn't working out.)

3rd grade teacher would play, for us to sing along. Other classrooms... piano would just sit there in the back, unused.

Wish Mom & Dad would've just hired a teacher, but "that's too expensive" and besides, Mom knew how to play.. But she'd had *years* of instruction, played regularly, and seemed impatient with my progress. This may be why I don't much like classical music? She wouldn't let me try anything modern like Elton John's songs.

Our school system had a dedicated music teacher who made the rounds of all six or so public elementary schools in the district. This occurred for me in the span from fourth to sixth grade.

He administered a test of our musical aptitudes. I did not measure up, so I was not instructed in how to play a woodwind or brass instrument, although I had taken a couple of years to learn to play the piano in a rudimentary fashion.

It took the director of the junior high school band to enlist me to join and learn to play the B-flat bass (tuba, to the uninitiated). I was issued an upright one on which to practice at home, much to the dismay of the rest of our household. A year or two later I realized that all the members of our system's junior high and senior high bass sections had been press ganged into learning those instruments by Mr. S., the junior high band director.

Being in the H.S. band ranks in thd top three experiences of my time there.

350 It's also one of the cuter conceits of collectivist/marxist ideologies that immense wealth is built by the proletariat.

It's nonsense.

Comfortable, freedom-bestowing wealth is built by the proletariat. Immense, generational wealth is built by war and the financial class.

Then the warmongers and financial class say "Hey we should share all this wealth we're all making!", the proletariat says "Lovely!", and the financial class steals all of the proletariat's wealth, calls them kulaks, and makes them all start disappearing if they start getting uppity about it.

351 It's one of the reasons Communism took root so effectively in the first place. Nobility and aristocracy *were*, in fact, stealing the wealth of the working classes, but still left them just enough to get by.

Communism shone a big violent spotlight on the injustices of the leftover class structures of feudalism and the heady, toddling imbalances of the West's precocious new-found Liberalism and said "we can do better"... and then did do better. They didn't leave them enough to get by, they took it all.

Turtles can be incredibly still and often play dead or go into deep dormancy (brumation). Confirm their passing by checking for a reflex response (e.g., gently pulling a back leg to see if they pull back).

I am actually oddly relaxed in the MRI to the point that I feel like I could nap if not for the noise.


I could easily nap in the dentist's chair if the hygienist wasn't often asking me to open / close my mouth or change the position of my head.

Shoot, conversing is out of the question, so I might as well sleep.

Posted by: SMH at God's mercy at July 06, 2026 08:46 PM (T19D0)

189 From the internet:
The phrase "on the lam" means to avoid capture by fleeing from law enforcement.
It originated in the late 19th century and was first used by pickpockets as a signal to escape from potential danger.
The word "lam" is believed to have Old English roots meaning "to beat" or "thrash," which evolved to signify escaping or running away.

The game clock never stops for anything. To make sure a full 45 minutes is played each have a ref keeps track of the amount of time the game was stopped for drama breaks. This is added on once 45 minutes as been hit.

Mostly it’s injury time. Plus when a goal is scored there’s time wasted on the celebration so that gets added back. The pausa de hydratation:eye roll:
And other time wasting actions by the winning team like kicking the ball away after a foul or the stupid rolling around and faking injury bs.

ALSO FROM THE INTERNET:
The origins of lambaste (which can also be spelled lambast) are somewhat uncertain, but the word was most likely formed by combining the verbs lam and baste, both of which mean “to beat severely.” (This baste is unrelated to either the sewing or cooking one.) Although lambaste started out in the 1600s meaning “to assault violently,” English speakers were by the 1800s applying it in cases involving harsh attacks made with words rather than fists. This new sense clearly struck a chord; after fighting its way into the lexicon, lambaste has held fast ever since.

268 Aww, a chinchilla.

A chinchilla coat is the pinnacle of luxury in the fur industry, prized for having the densest, softest, and most velvety fur of any land mammal. Because of the tiny size of the animal, it takes 100 to over 200 pelts to craft a single full-length coat, which drives prices ranging widely from $7,000 for a cropped jacket up to $45,000+ for a custom coat.

Chinchilla fur boasts between 50 to 60 hairs per follicle, yielding an incredibly plush and lightweight texture that is unmatched by mink or sable.

They & fox made into women's collars, cuffs, stoles and jackets weren't real unusual wear several decades ago. (Nor were bunny fur hand muffs and stoles for weddings and proms.)

So after one of my several injuries, coach asked me to run the clock at our next home game. No one had ever gone over the rules of the game or had tasked me with learning them.

I ran the clock like a football game clock - stopping it for injuries, out of bounds, free kicks and any other non-playing time.

When the ref whistled the game over with 14 minutes still showing on the field clock, everyone turned and glared at me.

So endeth my first and last time running the game clock.

Watched one from the porch Saturday, after we returned from the creek (creeks here in the Ozarks are deep enough to dive into).

I love thunderstorms, but I know enough that you don't want to be swimming in any body of water in one.

309 When I was in high school, soccer was a PE thing that kept us running around and not killing each other.

But, then, we had a long-running tackle football game every noon-hour.
That's when we killed each other.

My high school had no soccer team. Football, basketball, track, gymnastics and swim. That's about it.

Baseball was Little League and American Legion.

Everybody that can do a little basic math knows when the game will end. 45 plus a couple for this a few for that. It’s not difficult if you have the tiniest bit of critical thinking skills.

316 245 ... "My "Galahad and the Grail" just arrived. But another book I paid dearly for a couple of years ago was "Work of Human Hands."

Spend the money. Buy the good books. Leave them for your children."

This is wisdom. And I've noticed an increase in better made books being offered. Not the NYT bestseller crap but classics or what will become classics. The recent release of the prose "Faerie Queene" is an example: slip case, quality paper and hard covers, and outstanding illustrations. Same with the three volume collection of JRR Tolkien's poetry. The Folio Society has been doing this since the 1940s.

BTW, Rabbit Room Press, that produced "Galahad and the Grail", offers that elevated quality in some of their books.

My niece and nephew have asked to be considered to inherit some of my books. Glad they are willing to wait.

341 Belgium issue Folarin Balogun threat and left with 'no alternative' as FIFA mess exposed
FIFA have been handed a new statement by the Belgium FA following the controversial Folarin Balogun red card U-turn

The Belgian men's national football team is threatening a prolonged battle over Folarin Balogun's overturned red card, which will permit the United States striker to feature in the World Cup last-16.

The Royal Belgian Football Association issued a their latest statement on Monday afternoon, which read: "Following its previous statement, the RBFA wishes to publicly explain the events of the past few hours.

"After learning through media reports of FIFA’s decision to lift the automatic suspension of player Balogun, the RBFA sent a letter to FIFA requesting a copy of the decision, an explanation of the process that had been followed, and setting out its position regarding the applicable regulations.

Posted by: rickb223 at July 06, 2026 09:42 PM (MXaEW)

342 The red card un-suspension was a distraction and not helpful. It was obvious from the beginning of the game they were way off. I would have much rather had Pepi play without the circus.

HAHAHA that’s part of it…..it’s not that complicated.
Can’t be closer to the goal than the second to last defender (last one is ALMOST always the GK)….OR THE BALL….when the ball is played.
Also you can’t be offside in your own half of the field.
Also there is no offside on a throw in. Or a goal kick. Or a corner kick.
Also you’re not offside if the ball was deliberately played back by a defender.
Easy right???? LOL

I love watching hockey because it's fast paced.

My father taught me tennis, swimming, basketball, shooting pool & pingpong. As the daughter of a WWII Marine he was training me for something great. He wanted me to golf for a scholarship & I could not see it as I know I'd get mad at that little ball & throw my clubs & probably the caddy.

I did not want to play basketball but was considered tall at 5'8" with a high vertical jump for rebounds. The problem was I would not wear my glasses and did not want to mess up my long hair fighting for the ball if the girl was bigger than me. Even nearsighted, tho, I had an outside shot and a free thrower. Then I warmed the bench.

Shot pool with guys in college bars, and surprised many. Learned to downhill ski to survive getting down the mountain.

Update: Mitch McConnell Has Died?

BREAKING: Mitch McConnell has passed away, according to a source close to the White House. - per Laura Loomer

Thanks to rickb223.

Trump spoke of God and against communism on July 4 which Axios thinks is just terrible.

Axios is one of those shills who would tell you Democrats are also opposed to communism. But when Trump speaks out against communism, it's just the worst thing for some reason.

I thought we agreed on this, Axios...?

Trump's God, guns and anticommunist Fourth of July


President Trump championed American military might, a Christian U.S. and his top legislative goal in a delayed Fourth of July speech from the National Mall, wrapping just minutes before the calendar switched to Sunday morning.

...

Driving the news: Throughout the speech, Trump nodded to a modern-day battle against communism, a frequent element of his midterm messaging.

"We don't want communists in our country," he said. "Never worked, and it never will work."
Trump later added, "Communism is a loser, and it always will be."

Zoom out: The president's language was also markedly religious -- in line with the tone from the White House and its allies that has steered America's 250th birthday toward prayer and divine guidance, Axios' Russell Contreras reports.

"All over the world, they try and be like us, nobody can be like us, and with God's help, we will always be this, or even better," he said.
"As our Declaration of Independence tells us, we are all made in the image of one almighty God, and a communist will never say that, that's for sure," he added.

Speaking of July 4th: they had a Mostly Peaceful holiday in California.

Fourth of July descended into mayhem across parts of Southern California as unruly crowds overwhelmed packed-out fireworks displays, looted stores, ignited fires and saw cops charge on horseback.

The worst unrest erupted in Newport Beach, where Independence Day revelers poured into Orange County, choking traffic and triggering a police response as disorder spread near the pier.

Authorities ultimately shut down businesses from the Newport Pier to Pacific Coast Highway as officers moved in to restore order.


Officers were swarmed by hundreds of people who hurled bottles and other debris at them before the crowd turned on one another and began fighting.

Mounted officers rode horses into them to clear the area so additional arrests could be made.

Video from the scene also appeared to show the aftermath of the reported looting of a Pavilions grocery store in Newport Beach, with merchandise strewn across the parking lot while groups of people lingered outside the business, laughing and joking.
Newport Beach police with riot shields and bean bag rounds disperse a crowd on July 4th.

Also a Mostly Peaceful 4th in communist NYC.

Eight people, including four children, were shot during a Fourth of July family barbecue in Brooklyn's Coney Island when a masked gunman opened fire on the group without warning, police officials said.

New York Police Department (NYPD) detectives are working to identify the suspect, who fled the scene on foot and remains at large, NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch said at a news conference on Sunday.

"There is no place for this kind of violence in our city. We will not tolerate it. We will fight it with every single tool at our disposal," New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani said at the news conference.

Uh-huh.


Another "migrant" -- immigration status withheld -- killed people while driving a truck.

A migrant driver of a semi-truck was arrested and charged with running down and killing a Chicago man who was trying to change his tire alongside a suburban highway late in June.

The accident occurred early in the morning of June 24 when 24-year-old Sebastian Stone pulled off to the side of I-80 near Torrence Ave. to change a flat tire. While in the process of changing the tire, Stone was struck and killed by a semi-truck, which did not stop after running him down, CWBChicago reported.

Police were called to the scene by witnesses, and officers found Stone dead on the side of the road.

Witnesses described the truck that struck the stranded motorist and gave police the license plate number, the name of the company on the side of the truck, and the truck's company ID number. By 9 a.m., police had confirmed the witness statements with license plate reader data.

Officials also confirmed that the semi was being driven by Kulgeet Kang, 34, whose name is of Punjabi origin and common among Sikh communities.

Further information on Kang's immigration status has not been released.

Investigators contacted the company Kang was driving for and informed them of the incident, and company officials called the driver on his cell phone to alert him that he was being sought for killing a motorist. Company officials told police that Kang answered the phone, but then allegedly hung up on his bosses without speaking to them. He then refused to answer follow-up calls.

This will be very interesting to follow.

> Death by hit-and-run --> semi-truck.
> Found the semi-truck, abandoned, at a truck stop near I-65/State Road 2 in Hebron, IN.
> The truck and trailer were towed for processing.
> The truck driver was not found with the truck.
> The truck driver may have been found.
> Person taken into custody.

"The driver, according to my sources, ditched the semi at a truck stop in Indiana and hours later showed back up to his company in Illinois, where he was taken into custody." -@CourtSpinelliTV

A Muslim murder priest urges Muslims to "sacrifice blood" to make Islam the official, legally-mandated religion in the US.

A Muslim murder-priest said this in Maryland, and no one is doing anything about it.

@YossiBenYakar

An imam in Alabama, Ragab Abdelmoneim of the Islamic Academy of Huntsville, openly told his audience that Muslims must be ready to sacrifice their lives through jihad in order to establish "the religion of Allah" in the United States.
He claimed that victory over America is closer than ever.
This isn't being preached in some remote village overseas. This is being said openly on American soil.
At what point does this stop being protected "religious speech" and become a national security threat?
How is he not arrested?

No, or at least, the cited rule for replacing him depends on his choice. (Whether they will follow their own rules is a separate question.) If he's the full-blown clinical psychopath that he looks like -- and thus immune to social pressure -- then they're stuck with him now, no matter what comes out.

19 Is Communism actually a threat to the USA? I hear the same rhetoric in Canada, but outside of the internet im not seeing any Communism.

The people telling you about communism are deflecting from fact they are facist. And have no idea what communism actually is.

Also David Frum: “If conservatives become convinced they cannot win democratically, they will not abandon Conservativism; they will abandon Democracy...”

Trump, and 1/3 of Americans are living in another America that never existed

It existed, it was just before black people were free or women could vote. And the top tax bracket paid 90%

I remember listening to my parents at the dinner table telling me that the Vietnam War was necessary in order to stop communism from spreading. This communist bullshit has been around for a very long time.

Did anyone but the MAGA weirdos who went in person and journalists who covered this for the job watch this? Truly the cherry on top for this wet fart of a 250 celebration. It's what America deserved.

A lot of Kentuckians are dirt poor, disabled, and/or veterans. Politicians who appeal to them can win no matter what party, no matter whatever other positions they might hold, no matter what race - any of it.

90 I will admit for awhile, I think during President Trump's first term, I recall a kindness from Trump when McConnell stumbled on air in the Rose Garden. Trump held his arm to steady him and help him down a step or two and walked with him.

I would feel sorry for him due to his polio. For years.

In recent times I have been irritated with him and it seemed like elderly abuse in the last year to keep him in the Senate when he'd freeze on camera and need two men to help him walk.

I am a mean and sarcastic person but I can't be mean about him right now. Maybe to his wife. It seems fairly obvious chy na had some control over them.

122 An imam in Alabama, Ragab Abdelmoneim of the Islamic Academy of Huntsville, openly told his audience that Muslims must be ready to sacrifice their lives through jihad in order to establish "the religion of Allah" in the United States.

So this caught my attention. For several reasons.

Firstly - Alabama. No - folks in Alabama - you don't automatically burn out people like this. Because if you did ? Your own police, in Alabama, would be your biggest enemy.

Texas - don't say a word. It works the same where you are.

Now - what would an organization look like that heard these words, from Muslims in a Muslim place of worship ?

Well ... I'd say they'd probably wear white sheets and burn the entire thing down to the damn ground.

Lets just understand - firstly - what we're talking about.

The problem for Beshear is two fold, it would hurt any attempt to run for higher office as in VP or Prezzie to appear to go against Our Democracy. Second, he might do so and lose at the KY Supreme Court and could even be impeached and removed from office for it--KY legislature has a super majority of GOP in both chambers.

After all, even in KY, the branches act on behest of the people of Kentucky. If the proclamation goes out on the special election, he might try to split the baby over an appointment for the time until the special election would be held. If it occurred post August 3rd, then the special election and the general would occur at the November regular election. If the declaration occurred today, it is some fifty some odd days until the special election would be held.

And that's how they expect to do it.

Because you ... and some segment of I ... recoil from that. Because even if you or I win ... we lose. We lose our jobs. We lose time worked. We lose money. We lose respect when we go back to our little neighborhoods later. And we get locked up for it from our own kind. Shunned by our own kind.

The establishment is mad that the base is going anti-Israel, and they're going to take a girl who kept dating Platner after the assault for months and turn her into a victim, unlike how they ignored all of Andrew Gillum's piccadillos in FL in 2018 for governor.

So, they're going to force out the actual socialist, Free Palestine, working man for a millionaire older woman who takes AIPAC money.

Schumer will not brook dissent when it comes to giving Israel money.

So, Platner must be destroyed.

Graham Platner: Any Suggestion That I Strong-Arm Raped Someone After Bursting Into Her Home Uninvited Is Categorically False, But I'm Now Working Out a "Path Forward" from This Totally False Accusation

No one who speaks German could be an evil man.


Unfortunately, this comes a week too soon.


David
@davidslosttt

I'm sworn to secrecy and I can't prove any of this but:

- If what I heard is real, it's a problem
- I think he drops out if it's real, because he's already facing significant financial problems
- I doubt this is a smear, the GOP would want him to stay in

Politics & Poll Tracker 📡
@PollTracker2024

I've heard the allegation as well and Platner would have to drop out if confirmed by a reputable news outlet

(It's worse than the NYT story from last month)

So what is the allegation? It's not sexual assault back in his days at Hotchkiss boarding school.

Rather, it's an allegation of sexual assault just five years ago:

Bill Melugin
@BillMelugin_

1h

BREAKING: Politico reports that a Maine woman who dated Graham Platner says he forced her to have sex with him almost 5 years ago despite her repeated objections.

"I remember him grabbing my pelvis and being really forceful of me," she said. "I remember the specific moment where I thought to myself, like, 'This is no longer my choice.'"

Platner has immediately posted a video denying the allegations.

Extremely serious allegations here. The woman says Platner came to her house in 2021 despite her telling him not to. She claims he let himself in, was drunk, raped her over her objections, and ejaculated inside of her despite her telling him not to because she wasn't on birth control.

More:

Racicot said she was torn over coming forward in part because she agrees with Platner politically.

"One of the reasons I didn't come forward sooner was, the huge moral conflict that I had between supporting his politics, but not supporting him as a person," she said. "I just want the truth out there. I just want people to have a whole scope of who he is as a person."

raciotrapeallegation.jpg

I'm sure we'll be told he's "grown a lot" and "matured" since.... 2021.

It was the Quarantine. We all got a little assault-y back then, huh?


POLITICO
@politico

1h

A woman who dated Graham Platner says he sexually assaulted her.

"I just want the truth out there. I just want people to have a whole scope of who he is as a person," she said of the Maine Dem, who has faced a string of scandals over past offensive online comments and accusations of mistreating women.

Platner responded: "These allegations are troubling, serious, and false. Any accusation of non-consensual behavior is categorically untrue."

POLITICO
@politico

32m

BREAKING: Graham Platner said he is "taking the time to reflect on the best path forward" for his candidacy minutes after POLITICO reported that a woman who dated him said he forced her to have sex with him, which he denies.

Robby Soave
@robbysoave

37m

The sexual assault accusations against Graham Platner by Jenny Racicot are really quite severe. She says that he entered her home in a blackout state after she had definitively told him not to come. Then he forced himself on her. She cut off all contact afterward.

Barging into someone else's house really puts this in a different category. It doesn't leave room for mixed messages about given or withdrawn consent or something like that.

He can maintain he did no such thing, but I think a reasonable person would find that doubtful.


There was a report from Washington Reporter that said that Platner already decided to drop out:

Washington Reporter
@DC_Reporter

🚨A well-placed source told us that Graham Platner is dropping out of the Maine Senate race this week.

Note that Platner has yet to release his Q2 fundraising totals, a sign he may have underperformed expectations.

If true, that would explain the attempt to poll Maine to see the best replacement.

The accuser says she would not have come forward publicly now -- except that the NYT attempted to cover this up and sugar-coat his crimes, which outraged her into action. (She had spoken to them without giving permission to use her name.)

She'd told the NYT about the rape, but the NYT refused to report on it, instead spinning the charges as "he was a bad boyfriend."

Yeah, but was it actual force, or force as in "well, he just wouldn't stop pestering me about it so I went ahead and had sex with him even though I didn't really want to" force? It's difficult to give much credence to these claims when "rape" can materialize out of thin air because the woman making the allegations decided to revoke her consent post hoc.

Me too.

But I'll say this... when it was Kavanaugh, I thought "yeah, right. This nerd didn't do it."

If the money has dried up, if he is threatened with prosecution, if there is worse out there (nothing would be surprising with this guy), then he’s gone.

I don't think "it was a plant!" will work. Everyone in Maine knows who Platner is and the campaign he was running. They're not going to forget in four months, except the Masshole transplants who'd vote for anything on the D ticket.
They're welcome to try that tack though.

60 I admit to being bummed the story not being in a Target dressing room, but I did read the latest.

She deleted her texts but did tell her therapist, did not call the police or get a rape kit, and did tell the next boyfriend. I think there were texts to the therapist after he broke into her house after she told him no, then told him no again on her couch. She did not make him leave because she feared his drunk driving (which is kind of her as I would have mounted his domination on the wall next to the bloody knife).

However, in the NY Post, the story led to a former girlfirend who said he told her if anyone broke into his house he would rape them while sharpening an ax. Which I think is an odd response vs shooting them.

He said he wanted to express his dominance (with his peepee) over them, that it would not be homo rape but dominance rape. Ok! I see now!

This gf said she was becoming a bit alarmed with him. I dare say! I did not date a lot, so I'm no expert, but I don't recall the dude I've been with for almost 50yrs and married ever saying he'd rape an intruder.

See! There is a homo edge to this, Ace! His domineering peepee! Once it's powered up he's doing to dominate, mate!

83 Extremely serious allegations here. The woman says Platner came to her house in 2021 despite her telling him not to. She claims he let himself in, was drunk, raped her over her objections, and ejaculated inside of her despite her telling him not to because she wasn't on birth control.

---------------

I don't think it's only Platner who was irrational. She was dating him but was not taking birth control. How did he let himself in if she didn't open or unlock the door? Not that I would defend the fascist but his dates were not that different from him, they all held the same political opinions.

Posted by: Decaf at July 06, 2026 05:46 PM (ZNpJk)

84 However, in the NY Post, the story led to a former girlfirend who said he told her if anyone broke into his house he would rape them while sharpening an ax. Which I think is an odd response vs shooting them.

He said he wanted to express his dominance (with his peepee) over them, that it would not be homo rape but dominance rape. Ok! I see now!

This gf said she was becoming a bit alarmed with him. I dare say! I did not date a lot, so I'm no expert, but I don't recall the dude I've been with for almost 50yrs and married ever saying he'd rape an intruder.

See! There is a homo edge to this, Ace! His domineering peepee! Once it's powered up he's doing to dominate, mate!

1) attacks trannies
2) supports Jews

Laproscopic. Symptoms were low pain that never quit so i started calling it Pi at the doctor office (3.1415926536). Bearable, so I mostly ignored it until the crunchy noises began and I caught myself limiting range of motion. No falls, no accidents. Just something old from active duty back 8n the 80s probably.

I was so strongly pro platner until today. Whatever shitlibs you’re right and I’m wrong for once.

Whoever leaked this is a Democrat. Republicans have this info too, almost gaurntee it. They're just waiting until he can't drop out to drop whatever bombshells they have

I don't see how we win this if he drops out. But if this is true, there's also no way he wins (and shouldn't). So, this was a very big blow to our chances of taking the Senate regardless.

My advice to the Platner campaign, if you decide to drop out, endorse someone as a successor, hopefully with ME Dems on board, and make a video announcement with Bernie Sanders. Don’t let a Joe Biden happen where it looked like a rug pull against his wishes, because it will depress the turnout. 💀

Why would an endorsement from a rapist be beneficial to the successor candidate?

So Susan Collins wins again. Great. And the best part is when Ken Paxton also somehow wins in Texas despite all of his character problems.

Family lived in the boonies and locked their doors with hundreds of acres behind us. Some people we knew did not, and whatever!

I went to the university with a serial killer and already knew to lock my doors.

I live in a very big house and lock my doors. If someone gets in we have alarms and cameras. I am not going to change at this point and wait for Planter or barbarians to arrive and make it easier on them.

259 My advice to the Platner campaign, if you decide to drop out, endorse someone as a successor, hopefully with ME Dems on board, and make a video announcement with Bernie Sanders. Don’t let a Joe Biden happen where it looked like a rug pull against his wishes, because it will depress the turnout. 💀

Why would an endorsement from a rapist be beneficial to the successor candidate?

James Gunn's Job Is Definitely At Risk as His Woke Partygirl Movie Supergirl Not Only Opens Worse Than Morbius, but Suffers Humiliating -73% 2nd Weekend Drop

The movie never should have been made, period.

First of all, they just released Superman last year. Their follow-up is the Superman-knockoff character Supergirl, who has the same costume and same backstory (pretty much) and same powers. The only difference? She's a Strong Empowered Woman, and hooboy, people just can't get enough of those these days.

Even if you think Supergirl is a big enough character to do a movie about -- she's really not, she's a C level character -- surely you don't make a movie about this gender-flipped clone less than a year after the last Super-Family movie.

Worse yet, because Supergirl is so similar to Superman, and they were releasing the movie so close on the heels of Superman, they decided to completely change Supergirl's personality to make her seem different from her more famous Kryptonian cousin.

The Supergirl of the comics is the ultimate good girl. Just like Superman is a boy scout, Supergirl is a girl scout.

But they just did a movie about a Kryptonian boy scout so they changed Supergirl into a "messy," selfish, "trauma scarred" (can we stop making every character scarred by trauma) alcoholic party-girl. (Hollywood also doesn't like making morally good characters generally, and especially not morally good female characters, because women shouldn't do Emotional Labor for you Racists.)

So nothing like the actual Supergirl. And because alcoholic party-girls are usually -- sorry to be so direct -- promiscuous, this is the last movie a parent would want to take a young girl to see. That should be the target audience, parents bringing young girls to the movie to have a role model, but they made the character a substance-abusing partygirl so who's going to bring their daughter to that?

In fairness, Supergirl does pass out on a toilet (as one does) but doesn't have promiscuous sex with any rando dudes.

But that's not because she's moral. It's because all Empowered Female Characters must be lesbian-coded and have no sexual or romantic interest in males at all.

So again: Most parents will not want to take a young girl to see a movie about a drug-abusing lesbian.

So because Superman came out less than a year ago, they had to show that Supergirl isn't your grandfather's Supergirl by making her a grungy drunken whore.

If that's the only way to differentiate her from Superman -- then don't make the movie at all. It will be a disaster.

Which is what it was.

The movie made less than $38 million its opening weekend. Warner Bros kept lying and claiming that it made $38 million, but many disbelieved them, because they saw the daily numbers getting worse everyday. But Warner Bros. kept saying it made $38 million because they didn't want the real headline -- Supergirl made $37.1 million, less even than the disaster called Joker: Folie a Deux.

And while it opened so low you'd think it would have nowhere lower to go, you'd be wrong.

It also has a huge drop in its second weekend, one of the worst drops of any superhero movie.

'Supergirl' suffers catastrophic 73% drop, gets obliterated at box office by patriotic 'Young Washington'


Friday grosses plunged 80% in week two, with domestic totals stalling at $58.4M against a $275M cost


James Gunn was supposed to revamp and revitalize DC Studios at Warner Bros. The director of "Guardians of the Galaxy" would, in theory, bring the type of overarching creative vision that Kevin Feige had so successfully demonstrated at Marvel Studios.

Two movies into Gunn's vision of DC Studios, it's safe to say that this reboot has been an unmitigated failure.

The 2025 edition of "Superman" was, at best, a moderate success. While hardly the type of franchise-changing success the studio and Gunn hoped for, box office results and reviews were acceptable, if not a bit underwhelming. Thanks in some part to Gunn's bewildering decision to tell audiences that the film was about politics, calling the Superman character an "immigrant."

...

Alcock spent most of the press campaign making herself as unlikeable as possible, insulting potential moviegoers, bizarrely claiming that audiences felt "ownership" of her body, then doubling down after the inevitable backlash. The trailers looked awful, with a predictably sloppy anti-hero feel, atrocious visual effects, and an uninteresting plot and villain.

Still, as recently as May, hopes were that "Supergirl" could make as much as $65 million in its opening weekend. In actuality? It made just over $37 million.

With an estimated production budget of around $175 million, and a massive marketing campaign that likely cost Warner Bros. at least $100 million, the film needed to reach at least $450-500 million globally to break even. That opening weekend, and an anemic international debut, meant it was tracking towards a significant loss. The only hope? That positive word of mouth would overcome the apathy towards the film's plot and the off-putting remarks from Alcock.

Well, we now have the second weekend box office data, and not only did word of mouth not help "Supergirl," it may have destroyed it.


Friday grosses dropped an astonishing 80.4% from opening day on June 26 to just $3.6 million. Saturday estimates are for just $2.6 million, another 77% drop, despite the Independence Day holiday. All told, it's a remarkable 74% drop from the first weekend to the second. Total domestic gross for "Supergirl" now sits at just $58.4 million. On a $275 million production, from a major studio, with a massive marketing campaign, and the creative backing of James Gunn.

If the third weekend has a similar fall, grosses would plummet to just $2.49 million. For an entire weekend. A film that needed to make $200 million+ at US theaters to break even may not even reach $80 million. And considering the woeful international numbers, it's going to cost Warner Bros. hundreds of millions in losses.

It its first weekend, this very female-skewing movie was attended by 59% men, and only 41% women and girls -- the very audience it was designed, theoretically, to appeal to.

And you know what that means -- it's time for the leftwing media to blame men for women refusing to show up a movie supposedly made for the female audience.



The film received a "rotten" rating from the review-aggregation site Rotten Tomatoes. Ticket buyers were similarly unimpressed, giving "Supergirl" a B-minus grade in CinemaScore exit polls.

...

Still, box office analysts on Sunday noted an uncomfortable truth: Female-led superhero movies have been rejected almost uniformly over the past five years or so, perhaps reflecting a resurgent misogyny among the core fan base, which is largely male. Before its release, "Supergirl" became caught up in a now-familiar cycle of online abuse, with some fanboys attacking Milly Alcock's casting and appearance. Warner Bros. executives said they were surprised by both the ferocity of the backlash and its reach, believing the culture had evolved past that sort of campaign.

I repeat: 59% of tickebuyers were men. Yeah, a specific gender failed this film, and that gender was female.

I don't like Bill Burr, but this reminds me of his rant about women attacking men for not giving the WNBA good ratings: "You complained and complained so we gave you a stupid women's basketball league, and now you're telling us we have to watch it for you, too??!"

BTW: I don't mind Supergirl being a "girl boss" because, well, canonically she's one of the most powerful beings in the DC Universe, so it's not like they're reinventing the character (as they did with Captain Marvel) to make her a girlboss.

So the girlbosshood is justified... by the lore, at least.

But man oh man, are people just tired of girlbosses, whether justified by the lore or not. I hear Furiosa was pretty good, but people rejected it anyway.

We're just tired of it. Hollywood keeps making the same movie (basically) about the same female character (basically). How often do they think we want to keep seeing the same movie about the same unlikable bitch character?

Speaking of woke movies and woke marketing: Lupita Nyongo, an actual African woman playing the blonde Macedonian woman Helen of Troy, decides that now is the best possible time to attempt to #Cancel the author of The Odyssey, Homer:

Fuck you.

I won't be seeing this. I don't think the film will lose money -- Christopher Nolan's fanbase is zealous and passionate -- but I do think this would-be blockbuster will be a bit of a disappointment, because we are just sick of it.

"Very little time in the Odyssey is spent in the perspective of a woman"

O illiterate founder of Greece, the goddess Athena (a female) drives the entire story from start to finish. Her fingerprints are on every page.

The entire point of the story is that mortals, in spite of all their pride and greed, are the playthings of the gods and therefore must be humble and behave honorably or they will be punished. The male god Poseidon is the antagonist, and the hero is Athena, who repeatedly leads the otherwise helpless characters to resolution and peace.

This knowledge could be yours, if you read the book.

9 Gunn is 2/3 of the way through shooting Man of Tomorrow, and he's got his produced (not directed) and cheaply made Clayface coming out soon that should make decent money off its $40 million budget.

If and when the Paramount purchase goes through, then there might be an executive level reset, but that's not getting finalized for a year or two.

If Supergirl is seen as a fluke in the face of other successes, Gunn might be okay. We'll see.

25 Supergirl murdered the defenseless big bad at the end of the movie. After the movie spending an hour telling the audience you cannot be nice and you cannot be kind, but you ultimately should be good.

I mean, it was stone cold murder with a sword through the bad guy...twice...with emphasis...and a speech. And then walking away feeling no guilt.

And that's why the WOM is so bad. The drunk party girl part works. The creating a complete supervillain out of your hero character does not.

The movie proved Lex Luthor was right in the last movie. And thus destroyed forever this version of Supergirl.

49 I don't think it matters that Supergirl sucks as a movie. There's virtually no audience for this. The last three decades have been superheromania and we're now down to D-listers of the capeshit multiverse. Supergirl could be the Citizen Kane of Flying Men in Tights movies and, at this point, it would probably still not capture much of an audience. Making a homely girl the lead probably didn't help though.

Gunn (only producer, not director or writer) started messing with the film early in post-production.

It was test screened like a dozen times and reportedly got worse scores with every test screening.

They completely changed musical scores three times.

It really feels like something Gunn rushed out to get something out between Superman 1 and 2 tied to the big blue boy scout. They've been trying to crack the script on a Batman that would be in universe (as opposed to The Batman movies which are considered separate) for years. I don't think he trusts the other creatives he's hiring.

"So, just to be absolutely clear, Helen runs off with Paris, a thousand ships are launched to get her back, an entire civilisation spends ten years slaughtering itself, Achilles dies, Ajax dies, Troy is burnt to the ground, countless young men are hacked to pieces, all because Helen wanted to get her leg over with a Trojan...

Then Odysseus, who's never even met her, spends another ten years trying to get home, loses every one of his men, gets blown from one end of the Mediterranean to the other, is imprisoned by Calypso, nearly eaten by a Cyclops, enchanted by Circe, tempted by the Sirens, chased by Poseidon, washes up naked on beaches, arrives home, his dog dies, he's missed his son grow up and has to kill a house full of blokes trying to shag his wife and you think I should, *checks notes* 'make it a bit more about Helen?'"

The problem is the character in the movie isn't a hero. She's a narcistic asshole. She's only moved to help the girl character because Krypto the dog is poisoned. And she only helps the enslaved kids at the end because she just happened to be there.

His point is she didn't exactly pull a Zegler where she went on a tour insulting all the fans - she just got roped into answering a stream of off the cuff "Pride" questions from tranny goons and her answers really weren't that bad.

And honestly they kind of weren't. She said something about there not being a "love interest" and that being cool or whatever, which is annoying but not world-ending. Then in the same answer she said Supergirl would "probably go both ways" which most normal people would have found to be a cool throwaway comment 15 years ago, but which is now world- ending because the stakes actually seem to be keeping the future of civilization out of the hands of these demonic child-fuckers.

133 I watched my first WNBA game this weekend because Sophie Cunningham's team was playing.

Against Las Vegas, I think.

Sophie came off the bench and soon enough buried a three from deep.

Than I got bored and switched to...golf.

Because golf is less boring to watch than the WNBA.

Posted by: Blonde Morticia at July 06, 2026 04:56 PM (mmrXZ)

Hollywood and the Press are so used to having CONTROL of social media, that they discount it... they have paid people creating online ad campaigns all the time... so they believe that any negative media must be from some rival group.

They don't acknowledge that some voices, are actually real and from the customers.

178 It its first weekend, this very female-skewing movie was attended by 59% men, and only 41% women and girls -- the very audience it was designed, theoretically, to appeal to.

Thing is, it's always this way, at least to my understanding. The majority of all comic book movie audiences is going to be male, no matter how much girlboss pandering garbage they put in it. But it's the fault of the patriarchy or something that chicks don't consume comic book movies as much as dudes. Same with WNBA and women's soccer...nobody gives a shit and women don't have anywhere near the interest in watching sports that men do.

BINGO! This is the problem I have with the Harry Potter movies, too. They're all gods! What's the point?

I had the same problem with The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. She had freaking mental superpowers. Like, she had that total recall brain thing, and she knew literally everything about international banking, how companies are structured, whatever she needed to, uh, make the plot work.

Gods have a ridiculously unfair advantage, which makes them uninteresting in the end.

Posted by: TheJamesMadison

I suspect because a lot of those movies had 'investor' partners, they keep making crappy movies. The issue is sort of like Microsux--whatever good products that you may also sell get dragged under by the overwhelming stinky mass of your main product lines. Hollywood has made itself into a bad joke and painted itself into a corner toward cultural irrelevance.

Netflix was whining the other day about how audiences drop off tremendously after the first series and that affects renewals.

And the obvious answer is Netflix churns out crap that is lousier than the worst days of the studio system back in Hollywood's heyday.

Frankly, I rather watch either old movies, or read a book than consume the modern CGI and vapid modern movies. I'm done

Superheros were born in the Depression due to the need for cheap entertainment and made the jump from comic books into movies. And now are gagging due to crappy story lines, forgettable characters that blend into each other, and stupid bombastic movie music with lousy CGI effects. If anything CGI appears to have regressed rather than progressed, probably due to cheap ass labor H1Bs like other industries infected with that curse.

The only reason CGI got ahead is that it was cheaper at the time than hiring the IATSE based model, matte, and other movie magic types.

The Drinker's point (which sounds plausible) is she played fhe character very well...the problem is the character in this movie is an insufferable, irresponsible, drunk loser.

As for her comments to media, to me, she sounded like she was trying to answer vaguely, in a way that wouldn't piss off the queer interviewers (except for the "pissing off Christian dads comment, which is actually in line with the character).

282 The shit flowing out of Hollywood so vastly outweighs the few good films that are released it's just a fool's errand to even try to find the good ones.

20 years ago it felt like every couple of weeks there was a major Hollywood movie I want to see. Now? I'm watching older movies I missed from that era.

According to IMDB the best movies of last year:

Superman: Not terrible but...not good either
Weapons: Good setup poor finish
Sinners: Ok
One Battle After Another: I don't watch Antifa propaganda
Jurassic World Rebirth: They made another one?!?
Frankenstein: Above Average
Happy Gilmore 2: Pale shadow of the original
Thunderbolts: A snoozefest

Compare that to say 2005 which had Batman Begins, The Incredibles, Shaun of the Dead, Serenity and Man on Fire

Yeah. As a movie, not a great movie. Had a good concept but it was badly executed. The first five minutes were a good setup, and the last 5-10 minutes when he wastes the gang-rapists and the lead gang-rapist's whole family was rather satisfying. The rest was largely incoherent.

Well, my guess the answer is what you would guess. There would be a minuscule audience.

That said, given the Left's propensity for despoiling all that which is honorable and decent (remember the pulling down of statues? Re-defining marriage, and 'Madonna' was the holy mother of God. What comes to mind now?)

Hot New #RaceHoax Drops, The Left Is So Excited You Guys

The fake "hate" group -- almost certainly funded and directed by the left -- "Patriot Front" staged a fake little march in DC.

That was fake enough, but then the left amped up the hoax by arranging for a lone black woman to be photographed on a subway while surrounded by fake-menacing fake "Patriot Hoax" actors.

Note that she suffered no harassment or assault -- a far cry from other women that the left refuses to mention and in fact demands go without any murals to mark their deaths.

As this guy says: It's so staged it hurts.

The Race Saint arranged to be photographed while being completely un-menaced by male models dressed as "hate" agents wasn't always so saintly.

She's a homeless woman with a conviction for indecent exposure. (Just the sort of person you could bribe with five dollars to sit on a particular subway car and look saintfully at the camera.)

Also, previous video of her shows her holding open her anus -- there's no delicate way to say it, sorry -- while screaming.

Neo Trotsky
@neo_trotsky

#grok
Yes, it is the same person. The woman in the viral July 4, 2026 Reuters photo on the DC Metro with Patriot Front members is Bernita Bowlding.

Multiple sources and social media discussions directly identify her by name and link to her Arlington County mugshot for indecent exposure from 2024.

Was the Patriot Front a menace to her, or was she a menace to them? I guess it depends on what she had for lunch.

In NYC, communist foreign invader Zohran Mamdani attempted his own hoax, putting out word that a man had gone into mosque with a weapon but was subdued by heroic, multicultural New Yorkers.

What he omitted: The "weapon" was a BB gun and the man holding it was himself a Muslim.


This is exactly the way he played it when two Muslim terrorists attempted to detonate a bomb outside the mayoral mansion. The terrorists were trying to kill non-Mulsims protesting Mamdani, but Mamdani pretended the terrorists were white non-Muslims attempting to kill him.

And the media ran with this Better, More Impactful Narrative.

As I mentioned, Scott Pressler is hundreds of times more effective than “Patriot Front” is and if they were serious they would go and do get out the vote efforts.

Extremely serious allegations here. The woman says Platner came to her house in 2021 despite her telling him not to. She claims he let himself in, was drunk, raped her over her objections, and ejaculated inside of her despite her telling him not to because she wasn’t on birth control.

More:

Racicot said she was torn over coming forward in part because she agrees with Platner politically.

“One of the reasons I didn’t come forward sooner was, the huge moral conflict that I had between supporting his politics, but not supporting him as a person,” she said. “I just want the truth out there. I just want people to have a whole scope of who he is as a person.”

Pulitizer prize winner right there. This lady is all of us. Just so tired of all the bullshit.

Took the words right out of my mouth. This is one of those that's going to be emblematic of these times.

Hitler took inspiration from the US, unfortunately. He saw that our forebears got away with decimating the Native population and took note. 

If they truly believed in their cause why hide their faces? Because deep down they know it’s wrong. They think fear is power.

Trump has normalized all these losers. and yet all the national christians aka maga believe this is normal. please.

They feed on the dirty looks. they just like being the villain. Most of them don’t understand socialism any more than they understand the female orgasm. They just know that’s all liberal pussy shit and they are white, Christian, tough guys and everyone is afraid of. They are bored by their comfortable lives, and need to feel tough and a part of something. They have dull emasculating marriages and need to feel masculine and be feared.

On the other, people gather peacefully and use nothing but words. Where the "danger" never quite materializes but is often described as racial dog whistles.

The literal flames from the violent ones are always explained away when EVERYONE knows which group is which.

Extremely serious allegations here. The woman says Platner came to her house in 2021 despite her telling him not to. She claims he let himself in, was drunk, raped her over her objections, and ejaculated inside of her despite her telling him not to because she wasn’t on birth control.

More:

Racicot said she was torn over coming forward in part because she agrees with Platner politically.

“One of the reasons I didn’t come forward sooner was, the huge moral conflict that I had between supporting his politics, but not supporting him as a person,” she said. “I just want the truth out there. I just want people to have a whole scope of who he is as a person.”

103 Islam is a cult not a religion. It was created whole cloth from what can be truthfully proven as fiction by a person who was a murderer, thief, rapper and p*do. It has only multiplied its followers by murder, coercion, torture and tyranny. It preaches spreading its message by any means possible including lying to advance its deadly aims. It doesn’t belong anywhere near a society that values freedom, individual liberty, individual rights, western law, or moral, just social compacts. It is an anathema to our Declaration, Constitution, law and rights. It should be banished forever from our country.

I don't know what Nolan is thinking. He went with American accents (even for the Brit actors), mayber because he saw Damon's horrendous Scotish accent in "The Great Wall"....and the modernized dialogue (even in the trailer) is suspect. Holland uses the term "dad" instead of "father"...and here's the rub. The reference in Greek does indeed suggest that Greeks used more intimate terms in that type relationship...BUT the term would be "pappas"....which is the origin of the word "papa."

----------------------
As the U.S. celebrated its 250th birthday, Planned Parenthood cheered the return of hundreds of millions of dollars in Medicaid funding as lawmakers failed to extend the law banning its federal funding.

The Republican-controlled Congress missed the deadline to extend the prohibition of Planned Parenthood’s Medicaid funding which expired on July 4.

The nation’s largest abortion provider originally lost this funding in July 2025 when President Trump signed the One, Big, Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) into law. Republican lawmakers originally intended to halt Planned Parenthood’s federal funding for 10 years, but eventually shortened it to only one year, which ended July 4.

189 The movie is supposedly based on a modern feminist translation, whose authoress says she knew immediately upon seeing the cyclops described as a "monster" that meant he was black.

The Greeks had connections with southern Egypt/Ethiopia since they traded with everyone around near med. If they wanted to make the Cyclopses black they would have noted it.

And...apparently this genius doesn't realize the Greeks had a horde of mythological monsters. As a feminist nutter let's hope she doesn't read Medusa's story or Hercules's.

Sinon is not a character from Homer's Odyssey. He comes from later traditions, most famously The Aeneid.

He is the Greek soldier who tricks the Trojans into bringing the Trojan Horse inside the walls of Troy by pretending to have been abandoned by the Greek army. His deception is what leads to the fall of Troy.

So, unless Republicans want to get stuck with an empty seat and screwed, they should tell everyone now what is going on and hold a special election BEFORE the August cut off date.
Otherwise, the Senate balance could be in jeopardy.

Female Cops Beaten Up While Trying to Break Up "Teen Takeover" in North Charleston

I don't think woke police forces are working.


The North Charleston Police Department has released a statement regarding the viral video where several individuals can be seen assaulting officers in the Chicora-Cherokee community on Saturday evening.

According to their statement, the incident depicted in the video is the result of a neighborhood block party that escalated out of control leading to the arrest of several individuals and the recovery of multiple firearms and a makeshift spear. Three juveniles and one adult were arrested as a result of the incident.

The initial report states that officers responded to a neighborhood block party in the Chicora-Cherokee community after receiving reports of gunfire and individuals firing fireworks toward passing vehicles. Officers had reportedly met with event organizers earlier in the day to discuss the event and ensure that emergency vehicles could safely access the area if needed.

Upon arrival on scene officers met with attendees who stated that several people had begun discharging firearms at the event. In an attempt to safely disperse the crowd officers repeatedly made public announcements advising that the event had ended and that everyone should leave the area.


Despite those efforts, multiple fights broke out and additional gunshots were reportedly fired. Officers exited their patrol vehicles to intervene and separate the individuals involved in the fight. During the response multiple officers were physically assaulted, with two female officers sustaining minor injuries, the release states.

Below, a British female cop complains that the job of the police should be about "empathy" and not what it really is, which is using physical force to stop physically strong and violent men from hurting other people.

In her case, she and a partner were in an airport where a couple of Cultural Enrichers from the Muslim world were punching people randomly in the face. She approached one of the Cultural Enrichers with "empathy" and was punched in the face and fell to the ground with blood streaming out of her nose.

That's terrible, of course, but it was also terrible for her "partner," who now had to subdue the two thug invaders alone.

But she is very insistent that she did everything right, bringing "empathy" to a fist-fight, and it's the world who is to blame for this not working out the way she thinks it should have.


By the way, society is drowning in messages for young men that they should not attack people and should generally behave. The thugs that police officers, female and otherwise, are usually called to subdue are the aggressive, violent men who have ignored those messages their entire lives.

I don't know why this idiot think that if they hear the case for "empathy" one more time, this time from a woke white woman, the dime will finally drop and they'll understand that civilization requires civilized people.

I mean, obviously: She's claiming this because 1, she's woke, and 2, she is hilariously incompetent at the job she sought and which the woke Regime insisted on giving her. To hide the truth from herself -- that she has no business as a cop on patrol and is going to get herself or her partner or civilians killed with her "empathy" -- she shifts the blame and conjures a Fake Job she wishes she had, an imaginary job where violent young men just need to hear a woman scold them for the 1000th time to realize the path of the righteous.


Finally, this female cop in the UK saw three young black thugs first bait and harass, and then physically attack, a white kid.

She called upon her "empathy" to decide what to do, which was to arrest the lone white victim, putting her silly female hand around the white kid's throat and barking at him that he was under arrest for a breach of the peace.

She did nothing about the three black kids who assaulted him. That would be hard and quite outside her capabilities.

So she attacked the white kid who was already dazed on his feet from being punched in the back of the head when he was on the ground.

Because that's easy. And empathetic. And woke.

4 In the last video the argument from the British government and the left is it doesn't matter if the white kid was being assaulted 1s before the female cop slammed him into a wall. Obviously he should have been able to see that it was a cop and not another gang member attacking him before he threw a punch.

23 My favorite bobbie-ette video was one from a few years ago.

A couple of portly female cops are trying to arrest a stringy white guy that is stoned out of his mind. At first he doesn't even notice they are trying to pull his arms behind him to handcuff him but then you see a look of awareness come over his face.

He turns, pushes each bobbie-ette away and the slowly starts jogging away. They both started to slowly jog after him but after a few seconds were winded and gave up.

25 Two observations about the Feral Blacks Attacking Cop Video:

1. Good on the male cop for risking his own safety -- and maybe his life -- and jumping in there to pull off the thugs. A lot of male geldings wouldn't have done this.

2. Once again, it's predominantly females in the video who are most violent and physically aggressive. We have serious problems in certain female demographics that society should not continue to ignore.

Bonus 3rd comment! Wtf is with that gay overlaid music on the video? I'd rather hear was what actually happening.

Brits have this weird fairytale idea about some golden age of Brit policing where a cop would confront a criminal and the criminal would sheepishly say, "Ya caught me, gov." and go quietly with the police.

They're so enamored with this fairytale, that they think it's a huge failing of the police anytime the police have to lay hands on to take a criminal down.

The public, the police, and leadership are all so devoted to this idea, the police doctrine and hiring practices result in many street cops who aren't physically capable of fighting with criminals to arrest them.

61 My favorite part about watching these videos of all these scholars is how they seem to all have these magical phrases, incantations that will protect them from consequences:

- Don't touch me (you will never, ever see an arrest video where they don't say that at least 20 times)
- I can't breathe
- I'm pregnant
- I'm scared/afraid (for my life)(often, on this one they will add the enhancer of "you all are out here killing us")
- and, of course, the number one thing all of them say every damned time: "I dindu nuffin"

On the last one, saw a Hodge Twins video; arrested the guy in the locker room; marching out, some black lady in the lobby sees him in cuffs and yells, "why you arresting him, he dindu nuffin!"

If they armed their police, they'd have to admit they're no better than us, and that admitting millions of unassimilable third worlders was a stupid idea, and those responsible should be sacked with extreme prejudice.

80 It makes sense in a way that the weak woman arrests the white guy rather than the blacks — Toddler Ethics: Don't hit anyone, don't say mean things, share.

She is stopping the black thugs from beating the white kid and herself by arresting the victim effectively getting him off the X.

The thugs are pleased that they are in power and have dominated white people, including a woman, and the kid is not getting his ass kicked in. Win. Win.

If they prosecute the kid, then never mind — UK is lost.

ANY negative interaction with a muzzie gets a pack of imams talking to the mayor about their bias.

95 Below, a British female cop complains that the job of the police should be about "empathy" and not what it really is, which is using physical force to stop physically strong and violent men from hurting other people.

Brits have this weird fairytale idea about some golden age of Brit policing where a cop would confront a criminal and the criminal would sheepishly say, "Ya caught me, gov." and go quietly with the police.

They're so enamored with this fairytale, that they think it's a huge failing of the police anytime the police have to lay hands on to take a criminal down.

The public, the police, and leadership are all so devoted to this idea, the police doctrine and hiring practices result in many street cops who aren't physically capable of fighting with criminals to arrest them.

When there are leftwing policies you can't reverse immediately, make the cost felt primarily in upper class leftwing neighborhoods.

For example have a back log of illegals, criminals, etc because leftwing judges are slowing things down? House them in a facility in a leftwing upper class neighborhood.

My understanding of that event (which is shown on the complete video) is that the white kid was getting pummeled and was trying to fight back. He was throwing blind punches to get away. Unfortunately (or fortunately) the female cop arrived and the white kid was still fighting for his life, and accidentally landed a glancing blow on the female cop....so they arrested him for expedience and their penchant to trying to diffuse the situation to benefit immigrants as opposed ot punishing the actual offenders.

It really wasn't a street take-over. Apparently, formal permits were given to a legitimate organization to have an event there. The police and fire signed off on the permit and the event. It was all apparently peaceful.

Then later, it appears that the event was taken over by feral thugs who started fighting with each other. The police then said "enough, this party is over, everyone go home."

You won't be surprised that the thugs refused to leave, and started fighting with the cops.

216 Yeah, the Triggernometry podcast. He's said repeatedly that he's a soft socialist.

You mean like this?

Kisin, who grew up in the Soviet Union, is highly critical of both hard-line communism and modern "soft" socialism (such as democratic socialism or heavily expanded state-welfare policies). His main critiques are:

Economic Stagnation: He argues that European-style progressive policies (which sound good in theory) often lead to de-industrialization, high taxes, and reduced economic competitiveness.

Luxury Beliefs: Drawing on the work of Rob Henderson, Kisin often points out that many modern socialist or far-left ideas are "luxury beliefs"—status symbols adopted by affluent elites who don't have to live with the negative consequences of their policies.

Individual Freedom: Kisin values Western individualism and free-market principles, arguing that expansive state control infringes on personal liberty and responsibility.

244 Yeah, the Triggernometry podcast. He's said repeatedly that he's a soft socialist.

You mean like this?

Kisin, who grew up in the Soviet Union, is highly critical of both hard-line communism and modern "soft" socialism (such as democratic socialism or heavily expanded state-welfare policies). His main critiques are:

Economic Stagnation: He argues that European-style progressive policies (which sound good in theory) often lead to de-industrialization, high taxes, and reduced economic competitiveness.

Nothing about Euro-socialism sounds good in theory, so thats it right there.

There are so many here that regularly shout that we should "let it all fail" in the idea that bringing things to a head will speed the resolution. Let it Burn is the other regular claim, as if creating a second Yugoslavia will some how make the world better and cleaner.
"oou" I am told, "do you think mass graves won't happen anyways?"

I have a suggestion to these comments.

MAYBE AVOIDING MASS GRAVES IS AN IMPORTANT GOAL.

Also, the result of the attempt to throw off the influence of the EU in Yugoslavia resulted in multiple countries that used to be Yugoslavia being controlled almost completely by Brussels. That is the probable result of that happening to our unhappy country.

290 I am a retired cop with three decades of experience in urban policing, predominantly in supervisory and command roles within patrol. A small percentage of officers—less than 10%—are responsible for 90% of effective policing in any department. There are just fewer women in the job to see outstanding female cops in the wild that often, and a useless male cop is probably big and tall enough to make a career out of fooling people into thinking they can do the job. My two favorite Officers to supervise were both petite females, and they both absolutely put the FO in somebody's FA on a regular basis. I am chuckling now, thinking of several crying men who got schooled after trying to put those ladies in their place. I am 6' and I will be the first to say that while size does help, it is being able to recognize when you have to use force and using the right amount of force at the right moment that gets the job done. And the Officer in the video from this weekend ... She showed up to a shots-fired call, took some serious lumps, and as soon as she got help, she reengaged and got back in there and didn't run away. She isn't a bad cop. The bad ones show up when its over.

304 There was a day when the very sight of a cop would be more than enough to get wrongdoers to second-guess what they were doing. That was back in the olden days, when people had consciences reinforced by popular culture.

But with the 90s, we had liberals insisting rap "artists" be able to "speak their truth" when none other than Tipper Fucking Gore (!) sat before Congress to call for a warning on filth in music. It took less than a decade for that garbage culture to be blasted from white suburbia, and now we have affluent white women doing their best LaQueishá impersonations on Real Slutty Housewives of Poughkeepsie.

You steer into the skid to GET traction. The weird thing is that rolling friction is greater than sliding friction; that's one of the things you learn in a solid dynamics class.

The UK 'street' doesn't have any advantages. Not tactically, as the government has all the guns.

Not strategically, because the government owns the schools, the banks, the media and the hospitals.

I only disagree in that plumbing was not a factor at the moment. Our daring suspect was totally absorbed in beating a cop (probably for the first time), and a woman (not a chance it isn't a regular thing), so anyone who came in hard and fast was going to end that one. Do you think a one-hundred-forty-pound ex-ballerina coming in a ballistic arc, boot-first, wouldn't have ended it, too? And that NCPD didn't have a few big strapping guys with "radio trouble" who showed up 20 minutes later? Police work is complicated, and you need a variety of tools in the toolbox; you would be screwed if you had nothing but hammers. Based on a very short clip, I just see a cop having a very bad day who didn't tap out. Good for her.

Herr Docktor Bugfokker Cancels Campaign Events as Unknown Parties Begin Polling the Strength of Other Candidates to Replace Graham Platner

There are rumors of a fresh Graham Platner scandal about to drop, even as the drop-dead deadline for replacing a candidate in Maine fast approaches. (I believe the deadline is July 13.)

Political Polls
@PpollingNumbers

Graham Platner has canceled a campaign event for unclear reasons.

The cancellation comes as polls are testing other candidates against Collins, while rumors continue to circulate about a possible new scandal involving Platner.

The Maine Wire
@TheMaineWire

🚨🚨Graham Platner cancels MULTIPLE scheduled town hall events as progressive allies tease another scandal is about to hit his campaign.

Augusta town hall for last night - CANCELED

Gorham town hall tonight - CANCELED

Sanford town hall tonight - CANCELED

There are no other upcoming events listed on his FB page, or on Mobilize

Steve Robinson
@SteveRob

Wild rumors re Graham Platner circulating this morning...

Sources Downeast say Platner showed up for the 4th of July parade in Eastport but left early after getting struck in the face by a teen-tossed water balloon.😂

He was a no-show later that evening for the Machias parade.

Meanwhile, Platner's key ally and fellow lazy-ass scumbag Bernie Sanders commsplained that party leaders are above party "rules."


Vermont's senior senator, a key supporter of Maine Democrat U.S. Senate nominee Graham Platner, Sunday rejected the alleged hypocrisy of flying charters while blasting oil-executive salaries.

"Independent" Bernie Sanders' use of private jets for his political campaigns and tours has drawn scrutiny from critics who argue it contradicts his advocacy against corporate wealth and environmental issues.

In an interview on Fox News, Sanders pushed back on the apparent contradiction.

"You campaign and you do three or four or five rallies a week," he told Fox News anchor Bret Baier.

"The only way, the only way, you can get around to talk to 30,000 people."You think I'm going to be waiting around sitting on a waiting line at United? While 30,000 people are waiting? No apologies for that.

"That's what campaign travel is about," Sanders added. "We've done it in the past and we will do it in the future."

Sanders tried to argue that President Trump doesn't fly commercial while campaigning either, asking Baier, "When's the last time you saw Donald Trump during a campaign at National Airport?"

"But he's also not fighting the oligarchy," Baier replied.

So what's the Graham Platner scandal going to be about? I would guess that it's about him being expelled from tony boarding school Hotchkiss for sexually abusing a girl or several girls.

And I think, if it's anything less than that level of serious, it won't mean anything at all. They're already all-in for a Nazi and communist. Unless it's something that rhymes with rape, he's insulated against it.

This is all about the Zionists that controlled the Dem party moving against an actual reformer who will personally end the "gaza genocide" when he is elected.

Also Susan Collins is literally Hitler and if Plater actually did grope some women who cares Trump does all the time and Susan Collins helps him do it.

33 My guess is that he contacted some minors on Kik or on some other platform and there's incriminating evidence, but some of these former minors are Democrats and holding out for a big payment.
However, if they don't get their money soon they will start talking.
There probably is additional evidence, but it probably is in the hands of Democrat-friendly institutions like Kik itself, so it won't be released; instead it will be used to make sure Platner remains faithful.
This is just a guess, but is what I would expect from a Democrat politician.

46 I checked RCP and the best poll for Collins in 2020 was a Bangor Daily News poll of LVs from late Sept that put her opponent up by 1 point. The RCP average was about +5 for her opponent.

She won by 8.6 points.

Platner's supporters are probably disproportionately young and affluent, which means they are connected to social media more than Collins' supporters. And since polling companies are lazy as f*ck, they don't try to reach a big sample using other means.

Polling in Maine is particularly difficult because, it seems, no one is willing to invest in trying to reach rural voters in significant numbers.

Which means most polling over samples people from Bangor and Augusta.

And people act like it's a deep blue state when the largest political affiliation is independents (roughly 40%).

Not even rape will do it. I mean, the guy is a woman-abusing, layabout leech with suspicious finances, with a fucking Nazi tattoo, and who openly brags about jerking off in port-a-potties and anally raping men. And yet, the Democraps still support him.

I suspect if there is a scandal that gets rid of this guy, it will be something racially bigoted or that taints his Pure Commie resume. Something in his socials like "fuck that nigger" or "you know, communism is stupid and evil."

The Democrap party is so desperate to hold onto black votes that they can't afford a high-profile guy with racial baggage. Similarly, this creep has risen as high as he has because he's seen as a commie true believer. Anything that undermines that will hurt him, perhaps mortally.

Posted by: Washington Nearsider

Polls are worthless in the Summer--to get the number of responses, polling firms use all adults or registered voters, not likely voters. That screening is more expensive (more calls have to be made) and even then, state polling is usually plus or minus 5 percent which makes them useless in a lot of state races if the pollster does not 'know' the state in order to properly weight the responses to reflect the guess as to the voting population.

The funny thing is individuals placing bets on prediction markets rely on bad polling data to place those bets and yet voila, the media and individuals keep reporting those results as if they are superior to the crappy polling data that underlies them.

68 Doubts started July 2nd

Two Maine Polls Just Dropped. Is It Time to Fret About Graham Platner? The Democratic Senate candidate is pretty much tied with Susan Collins, but she’s trouncing him with working-class voters. Why, and can he turn that around?

Worth pointing out that pollsters have been underestimating leftists by 8-12 points so far this cycle, something that NYT/Sienna is exacerbating with their new methodology, if that holds platner is winning this handily.

I'm watching a platner town hall on cspan right now. he is VERY good. I only knew about his "scandals" previously, but I'm agreeing with everything he is saying. I'm about to donate to his campaign!

Platner suffers from not having enough organizational support. He is not a socialist so he doesn't have that DSA ground game, and he ran without permission from the DNC so he has no support from the establishment that would rather Susan collins win.

It’s not looking good sadly. It seems like all the things that came out about him have done some damage in the polls.

Isn’t it possible Collins is just more popular in Maine then anyone wants to admit? And Maine Dems more moderate?

In KY, they're trying to pretend McConnell is still alive until August 3--before then, a special election is required to fill the vacancy.
After that date, the governor appoints the replacement who served until 2028.

And KY law counts braindead as "dead" for purposes of holding office.

Which means, because Bashear and none of the Dems are saying he's dead, Bashear has promised to appoint a RINO who will vote the Dem party line:
Bashear gets a Dem for 2 years, Mitch gets deadhand control over KY for 2 more years.

And that avoids the fight over not following state law to appoint another Republican.

Because, if they didn't have a deal to appoint who Mitch selected, his team would just announce his death, forcing the special election.

All of this to prevent the people of KY from having a choice in representation.

To be fair, no one knew about Thomas Kean for months and he might lose his seat over it. And then you have Kay Grainger. Staffers stay schtum about things because it means they have to look for jobs as most will not be retained by a new officeholder.

The August deadline is for setting a special election to run conterminous with the regular November election for the rump part of McConnell's term in this Congress. I think Massie the Assie crowd is pushing the where is Mitch in order to try to run in a special election before the regular one.

My guess is Mitch is brain dead but the online idiots citing KY law for death don't realize it does not apply to DC land. Without a death certificate, lawyers can keep any moves to fill the seat on hold if they wish until the clock runs out in August.

An Air Force drone contract to a startup the princelings took public through a golf course company they own a piece of.

The Army’s largest drone motor order ever, to a company where Don Jr. sits on the board and holds millions in stock.

185 In Maine, a candidate who wins the primary and withdraws by 5 p.m. on July 13 may be replaced by party officials, with the replacement nominee needing to be selected by 5 p.m. on July 27. This allows Democrats a total of 14 days to choose a replacement candidate for the general election.

I would assume Mills will demand the nod if they do swap out Platner and it would probably hurt them in the other Maine races but uh not that much. All the Dems screaming Platner is the only trooper who can storm the Senate and make it Judenfrei will mostly line up behind whoever they are told to vote for.

Microsoft's been aggressively expanding for years, trying to catch up with PlayStation and Nintendo. But they haven't closed the gap.

I worked there for a few years starting in 2005. Even then you could see it was losing its shine. They were busy taking out all of the fun distractions like arcade games you used to find in little corners everywhere.

When I first started, it was common for teams to have a lunch to celebrate whenever someone joined or to wish people well when they left. That went from a couple times a month to once a quarter, to a couple times a year.

People who were really really good at their jobs used to be treated really well. They'd get recognition, little perks, nice offices, things like that. I watched as that went away and those people were being treated like everyone else. No recognition, no perks, you're just a cog.

Wrong message, wrong time, imho. Socialism plays better when an economic crisis exists, not so well without it. Obamacare took out much of the impetus for socialized medicine--on the demand and supply side. And taxing the zillionaires is a stale sour message.

Blue states are not what is going to be at issue much in this election for the Senate or House as the blue states have pretty much gerrymandered the left coast and New England to be GOP free. The message has to play in the flyover country and socialism isn't that popular outside of blue college towns there.

273 254 Wrong message, wrong time, imho. Socialism plays better when an economic crisis exists, not so well without it. Obamacare took out much of the impetus for socialized medicine--on the demand and supply side. And taxing the zillionaires is a stale sour message.

Blue states are not what is going to be at issue much in this election for the Senate or House as the blue states have pretty much gerrymandered the left coast and New England to be GOP free. The message has to play in the flyover country and socialism isn't that popular outside of blue college towns there.

They're harping on affordability, but with rents decreasing because of deportations, a lot of that is just going to be unheard by people.

The main recipients of the message will be the overly credentialed and under employed. So, college graduates without employment in their field.

And even then, you have that electorate bumping up against things like Trump's efforts to curb H1-B's (working, down double digits year over year).

4 solid years of deportations and reduced legal immigration is going to transform this country, and the DNC won't know how to fight

And the main party will still be pretending to rebuff it at times while using it for all the attention it will bring. It will let them pretend Democrats are popular - and remember we may very well be back to shitty awful GOPe messaging.

Formerly-Famous Leftwing Non-Celebrities Spend Entire Fourth of July Weekend Obsessing Over (Get This) Trump

Sorry to drop that huge surprise on you without a warning.


Star of Seabiscuit Sarah Jessica Parker joined some other obsessives reading parts of an anti-Trump book and congratulating themselves for their Demonic Virtue.

A host of members from the cosseted Hollywood elites including Sarah Jessica Parker, Mark Ruffalo, Molly Ringwald, Sheryl Lee Ralph and Bradley Whitford released a joint July 4 video with author Timothy Snyder in an effort to challenge President Donald Trump on the day the nation paused to celebrate its 250th birthday.

They got Molly Ringwand and Sheryl Lee? (Laura Palmer from Twin Peaks, from 30 years ago.) What a coup!


They reportedly viewed their collective effort as "a call against tyranny" as Trump stood at the fore of his America 250 festivities and addressed the gathered tens of thousands and through them the country as a whole, as Breitbart News reported.

The Wrap reports how the sneering Hollywood effort went public with this claim:

"Two-hundred-fifty years ago, a revolutionary idea was born, not that freedom was guaranteed, not that democracy would take care of itself, but that ordinary people could govern themselves," Parker says in the 10-minute clip.

"Every generation since has faced the same question: What will you do when our country asks and needs something of you?"

..

"To celebrate a rebellion is to know that, from a flawed world, we can make new things," Snyder wrote in his intro to the video release, per the Wrap report.

"We can hold on, we can find each other, and not just imagine but create a much better America. It is a special 250th -- it is ours."

The clip featured -- but was not restricted to -- those mentioned earlier as well as Lisa Rinna, Canadian Margaret Atwood, Tony Goldwyn and Leslie Odom Jr. declaiming the book's 20 lessons to stand against tyranny.

Wow, decrepit spinster Margaret Atwood showed up for a left-wing event? Now I'm impressed.

And some other people who haven't been relevant since 2002 as well. Astonishing.

Speaking of old lefties with dwindling relevance, the site's official pick for most overrated piece of shit "rocker" ever, Bruce Springsteen.

I'd rather let Gary Glitter babysit my kids than listen to this gravel-voiced Cookie Monster of MOR "rock."


Left-wing rocker Bruce Springsteen declared himself a "patriot" for trashing President Donald Trump. "I believe in critical patriotism," the "Dancing in the Dark" singer proclaimed.

"I believe in critical patriotism," Springsteen told PBS NewsHour in a recent interview, after being asked, "You said before that loving your country means telling the truth about it. How has that guided your work?"

The "Born In the U.S.A." singer, who was interviewed on the PBS special, Bruce Springsteen: Finding America in Song, added, "I believe that's the definition of a patriot, you know?"

I love that the only album/songs people can remember is the absolute turd "Born in the USA."

"That you love your country so much, that you are willing to look at it clearly, recognize its faults, encourage it to be a better place, and believe that you carry in your heart the country that is waiting," Springsteen said.

"I was very angry," the 76-year-old rocker said of his new protest song, "Streets of Minneapolis," which he wrote after the fatal shootings of ICE agitators Renee Good and Alex Pretti, and later performed at an anti-Trump "No Kings" rally.

"And usually, I write songs that have a lot of political implications, but very often are not directly political," the "Born to Run" singer added.

You're a moron.

Finally, archleftist and completely inadequate man Larry David produced a -- get this -- anti-Trump fake "history" series.

Rob Reiner was in it, in his last role. He played -- are you ready to laugh? -- George Washington, ranting about -- get this -- Donald Trump.

Barack Obama produced this POS. This is the show Michelle Obama forbade from featuring RFKJr's wife and Larry David's Curb Your Enthusiasm co-star, Cheryl Hines.

Director Jeff Schaffer says Rob Reiner's final role as George Washington in Larry David's Obama-produced HBO show is Reiner's "last laugh" against President Donald Trump.

Rob Reiner -- who was killed late last year along with his wife, Michele -- filmed his final role a month before his death, portraying George Washington in Larry David's historical sketch comedy show, Life, Larry and the Pursuit of Unhappiness.

The late film director's appearance on the HBO show was kept a secret until the second episode aired on July 3, according to a report by Variety.

He died as he lived -- ranting obsessively and futilely about a man he'd never even met.

The show's director, Jeff Schaffer, told the magazine that the role allowed Reiner to get the "last laugh" against President Trump.

"It's coming out on Fourth of July weekend, and if it in any way spoils a sad octogenarian's weekend, then oh well!" Schaffer added.

Yeah I don't think it did.

The unbridled narcissism of these people. It's just a cult of self-worship.

Hello everyone! My goodness, I did not enjoy this very hot weekend. It's nice that it cooled down but I spent the weekend just laying around and checking a weather app to see when the heat would break.

How was yours? Any one have corn on the cob? I did. Dang corn on the cob is good.

Daughter lives in Detroit. Sections of Detroit have been without power since early Saturday. Best estimates, according to DTE, is her power (apt complex) won't be restored until late tomorrow night.

Have to imagine the natives will be getting restless.

I had a great weekend. Friends invited us out on their boat and I went wake surfing for the first time. I wakeboarded a lot back in my youth but haven't been pulled behind a boat in any capacity in a long ass time. I am sore in places I forgot I could get sore in.

Multiple beers of the cold variety were consumed.

58 It's a endless mystery to me why the left thinks it helps their cause to drag out a few musty old duckspeaking commie relics that most people couldn't recognize in a police line-up.

News flash: it doesn't. The vast majority of people -- even most on the center-left -- will see this and think "didn't I see one of these people on TV a few decades ago?" They will feel sorry for these losers, rather than be impressed with their political views.

I think that's why the left is so desperate to get actual "stars" to pimp for Democraps. That's why they pressure guys like the Rock. They know having these old fossils mumbling about how much they hate Trump doesn't work, or at least the smart ones do.

The reason for losers like Molly Ringwald (she's still alive?) and Bradley Whitford (who?) to make these kinds of videos is pure "look at me" narcissism. You can almost here them thinking "I'm still here and important, dammit!"

The schadenfreude, it is delicious.

But seriously, good for Turkey. Who wants thousands of foreign exhibitionist perverts overrunning your city?

The advertising for this cruise is almost comical in how obvious it makes its true purpose: this is a gay hook-up sex cruise. The promos are all young, good-looking flamboyantly gay men in nut-huggers with obvious sock enhancement practically sucking each other's dicks.

May God have mercy on the poor housekeeping crew that has to clean the staterooms after these perverts are done with their blood- and feces-splattering sex orgies. [Shudders]

Star of "Seabiscuit" Sarah Jessica Parker


* loud guffaws *

Our Independence Day was great, despite temperatures being in the high 90s. We assisted our neighbor with making popcorn and handing out bags of it to participants in our mobile home park's golf cart parade just before noon. The neighboring park staged a fireworks display that may has well have been in our own -- it was that close by.

Folks had pretty much dispersed and headed home by noon yesterday. This place was almost completely deserted. I did not mind -- the quietness of this area is rare these dats and most enjoyable.

It's raining today, so I am heading back north a half day early in an hour or so. The missus has some prescriptions that need to be gathered in and I have checks and such to write for the lapidary folks.

Did Reiner portray George Washington as an aggressive butthead, simultaneously overbearing and whiny? Method acting, in other words.
Posted by: Semi-Literate Thug

Washington would have kicked Reiner's ass for his portrayal as a self centered egotistical blowhard entertainer. In those days, camp followers ranked equally with entertainers in social status and I hope our society is heading that way again.

Washington worked hard to control his temper and to become a proper gentleman. But when provoked by idiots, his ability to express himself in the art of swearing was held in awe by some of his Revolutionary troops.

I was in a suite too. You get priority boarding and debarkation, but pretty much everything outside of your room is fully accessible by everyone else on the ship. You can pay extra for access to some exclusive spa areas. There's also usually a 21 and older area if you don't want to be around kids.

On my trip there was a rowdier pool and a quieter pool. Even the rowdy pool area was just more populated, not badly behaved.

One thing my ship lacked was a library space. We usually use that area to play games. We had to search a while to find a suitable spot for that.

Below is my column in Fox.com on the recent decision of Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro to join the ranks of Democrats calling for packing the Supreme Court. It is a disappointing moment for many of us who hoped that Shapiro could offer a moderate voice in the upcoming elections, resisting the rise of socialists and communists in his party. Instead, he proved to be just another politician thinking of the next election rather than the next generation.

Bruce Springsteen was originally a sensitive singer-songwriter type, before he was marketed as a blue collar working class hero. He's always been an anti-American leftist through and through. His songs 'celebrating' everyday Americans are fraudulent -- every single one is about sad desperate people failed by the American system. It's communist agitprop.

We had our annual July 4 BBQ we call ... "The Annual." Been doing it every year for over 30 years, since we were kids. Got some nice Macallan and cigars.

The worst part was driving from my Manhattan apartment to my NJ house and back again on Sunday. Insane traffic. Took me almost 2 hours each way. Normally, it can be done in a little over an hour.

Summer weekends are always bad, because everyone in Manhattan leaves for the weekend to the Hamptons, upstate, or NJ shore. But this weekend was exceptional in that regard.

As do I. However, I present for your amusement and edification the genuinely good pop song "Blank Space" (8x platinum), from her 14x-platinum fifth studio album 1989 (2014). The thing to note here is that her portrayal of a BPD chick is so on point that either she is a great actress, or clever direction obviated the need for acting, or maybe... just maybe... it was typecasting. If the latter case, they're doomed and no one can stop it.

Posted by: Smell the Glove at July 06, 2026 12:44 PM (G15zZ)


Two of the worst impulses are to both want to win at all costs, and be ideologically constrained as to what actions can be taken.
It leads to doing ineffectual things that are actually damaging instead of doing useful things that will achieve success.

If Shapiro wanted to win at all costs he would start talking about how illegals are getting jobs, benefits and free housing that freezes out the loyal dem voters who are being ground into poverty by the system.
If he did that he would probably win anything he ran for.

I would hang out with Keith a lot more as a person than Bruce even back in Bruce's heyday. Bruce became a professional leftist when Jon Landau took over management from his original manager Mike Appel.

Born to Run is where Landau eased out Appel as manager and that is the last time Appel produced an album. Notably Bruce's first three albums were relatively apolitical, right after Landau took over, Springsteen got involved in the No Nukes, Amnesty, and all of the other 'right' things and started spouting his fake and gay Woody Guthrie shit in his songs. Landau was a red diaper baby.

The female Red Guards were especially brutal in their violence. So much so, that when the RG was finally disbanded, some of them refused to give it up. The Chinese army ended up killing a lot of them.

You’ve hit on something, very few politicians today can bear the idea of “winning at all costs.” Someone like Shapiro lives very well, has everything he wants paid for by rich donors, and even if he loses he knows he’ll always be taken care of so long as he loses in “the right way.”

So he wants to win, but ONLY on the terms that his donors find agreeable and will keep the money flowing. As do they all.

- The company’s Xbox video game unit is cutting one-fifth of its staff, and four studios will go independent.
- Microsoft’s stock is down 19% this year as of Friday’s close, trailing its megacap peers.

Gouvernor Morris (responsible for much of the wording and style of the US Constitution) once took a bet to glad hand George Washington at a formal levee when Washington was president. Morris came up and clapped Washington on the back and treated him like an old school chum. Washington immediately let Morris know it was unacceptable behavior and Morris told later that Washington's icy stare and visible anger made Morris unwilling to repeat the stunt for all the money in the world.

She was always marketed towards average teen girls, to make them feel like they could nab the varsity quarterback as a husband forever, if they teased that they'd give him a BJ under the bleachers but never deliver, because penis is icky.

The only teen boys who swooned over her were the pimply nerds, chess club stars and non-athletes who tried to catch her on the rebound after she eventually sucked off the quarterback before the QB went back to the cheerleaders.

Yes, I had corn on the cob and no I don't need lip fillers. My brother mocked me for my big lips when we argued as kids. Little did I know they would be good to have as I age without filler or drawing fake lines around them.

All I know of Lisa Rinna is massive plastic surgery and being in a soap opera or similar.

Quack! How will they age? Will the fillers and fake cheekbones move around like icebergs under their ruined faces? Will they need drool cups?

Many liberals are announcing they're DONE supporting US Men's Team in the World Cup, instead rooting for Belgium tonight because President Trump vouched to get Balogun unsuspended by FIFA

OK, GTFO, leave America for Belgium! You are MORE than welcome to do so.

The red card was pure corruption by FIFA. They ignored their own clear rules and bent over backward to screw the USA team. The decision was rightly over-turned. Good on Trump if he had anything to do with it.

THE MORNING RANT: Ford Rehires Engineers, Blames AI (not Its EVs Debacle) for Having Dismissed Them in the First Place

Ford Logo.jpg

There was some great news last week when Ford announced that it was re-hiring hundreds of engineers who were let go a few years back. Those engineers had been dismissed from their jobs for two reasons:

1) To free up cash for Ford’s ill-fated “electric vehicle transition.”

2) Ford thought it wouldn’t need them any longer. The childishly “green” great-grandson of Henry Ford, Bill Ford, along with Bill’s pet CEO, Jim Farley, didn’t think they’d need engineers whose area of expertise was gas-powered, internal combustion (“ICE” ) vehicles. In obedience to Bill Ford’s climate religion, Farley had committed the company to pursuing an all-EV future. He didn’t see the need to further develop ICE vehicles, nor to employ the engineers who could do so.

The EV transition has been a catastrophic failure, costing Ford more than $35 billion before the company finally canceled its flagship electric vehicle, the Ford F150 Conflagration Lightning.

As I documented several years ago, ”Ford is terminating valuable engineers and other personnel involved in traditional internal combustion car manufacturing, all in an effort to free up money for its cash-sucking EV boondoggle.”

Ford was unambiguous that the reason it was gutting its corps of ICE employees was to fund its EV future, as documented by Bloomberg in this piece from 2022 titled “Ford Plans Up to 8,000 Job Cuts to Help Fund EV Investment.”

The good news is that even though Bill Ford is a naïve nepot who fell under the spell of the climate doom cult, Ford’s customers and dealers are considerably smarter. Despite the massive losses Ford took trying to get consumers to take delivery of its EV offerings, there is virtually no price that could move the needle and make Ford’s EVs anything more than a low-volume gimmick. For Ford to survive, it had to turn its focus back to products that Americans will buy in mass-market volume.

It’s funny that Ford is blaming a failed reliance on artificial intelligence for the need to re-hire engineers, rather than blaming its commitment to EVs. Perhaps Farley and Ford feel that it is politically safer to blame AI than to blame their EV debacle.

“Ford Rehires Experienced Engineers after AI Misses the Mark” [NY Post – 6/29/2026]

Ford has rehired experienced human engineers to help address the shortcomings of artificial intelligence (AI) tools meant to tackle quality issues in the automaker’s production processes.

-----

“Over prior years, we didn’t pay as much attention as we should have to the experience of our most knowledgeable engineers that have been with us through many product cycles…”

-----

“Mistakenly, we thought that by just introducing artificial intelligence and ingesting the design requirements that we had, that would produce a high quality product…”

-----

[Ford’s VP of Vehicle Hardware Engineering] also noted that the AI tools lacked the training and expertise that veteran technicians have, and many of the company’s veteran technicians left Ford before their knowledge could be used to improve the performance of the AI tools.

The “EV transition” failed, and the American auto industry is now de-transitioning back to a focus on manufacturing (gasoline-powered) vehicles which Americans are willing to buy.

But for old times’ sake, here is an update on Ford’s misguided efforts to become an EV manufacturer. The sales report is out for last month (June 2026). It’s awful:

• Ford sold only 2,322 EVs, which represented just 1.3% of its total US vehicle sales.

• Those 2,322 EVs included discontinued F150 Lightnings, which Ford is practically giving away to make them go away. I’d call it a “fire sale,” but that seems a little insensitive considering the Lightning’s propensity to spontaneously erupt into flames.

• The 1,715 Mustang Mach-Es that we were sold represented a 32% decline from June 2025’s already abysmal numbers.

The next big milestone for Ford’s EV de-transition is for it to formally announce that manufacture of the Mustang Mach E is being terminated.

The many descendants of Henry Ford still hold a controlling interest in Ford stock. A Ford-family revolt against the destruction wrought by Bill Ford would also be in order.

Shareholder oversight of public companies is often minimal, absent an activist investor. Positions in companies are turned over regularly and a lot of ownership is held in index funds.

Conversely this does make it easy to change the direction of a company with 5-10% ownership.

This is made possible through Ford's dual-class stock structure that concentrates voting rights in Class B shares. The Class B shares account for 2% of the company but collectively hold 40% of the voting power. These are owned by the Ford family, while the public owns Ford's common shares."

Because index funds are buying and selling component companies every second so determining just how many shares Joe Smith 'owns' becomes extremely difficult as to timing and as to determining the exact number of fractional shares he owns at that particular moment used to measure 'ownership' for voting purposes.

You don't have that problem with individual ownership of stock. Indexes are derivatives of the original stock certificate owners and then you have the secondary derivatives that are basically bets on the direction of the primaries and required to have some interest to do so--VIX, etc.

Like gambling, the major investment companies live and die by arbitrage (the house take) and to do that well, require enormous sums of other people's money to get that consistent small profit to be amplified into billions.

84 It did indeed look impressive; but it’s all electric and will cost at least $250k, maybe more.

It was a disappointment to see the Jaguar sedans disappear; when I bought my last car in 2010, the choice came down to the XJ-8 (as I recall) and what I actually bought, a Town Car. The Ford-based Jaguar drove like a dream, was a beautiful car for long trips. But I was in the market for a used car, not a new car, and it seemed like there just weren’t that many on the market. Then Ford sold Jaguar and I wasn’t sure how that would affect parts availability over the long term. (I’m still driving that Town Car, and parts don’t seem to be a problem on the rare occasions I need something—I may well find out again this week.)

That said Jaguar is at the bottom level of the kind of brand that could actually work on the EV model. Status symbols, short trips, meant to be driven for the sake of driving them rather than, say, to go grocery shopping or get from A to B; and not meant as workhorses because of that.

A little Ford anecdote: the sunglasses holder above the center console would pop open every time I hit a bump, and dumped my sunglasses onto my lap or under the seat. I had to live with that for 11 years. It's a simple thing, but if you can't get the simple things right, what chance do you have of getting the complex ones right?

My new car is a Honda Passport, and I love it. The sunglasses stay put.

I refused to buy a SUV sized vehicle with an engine smaller than my motorcycle. And I am not convinced turbochargers can last the long haul before one of the turbine fins breaks free and ends up in a cylinder.

124 Unbelievable. Mamdani wants government grocery stores, and he wants bodega owner to help him destroy them.

New York Bodega Owners to City: Drop Dead!
“We met with bodega owners so they could help us plan and ensure that we take into account their challenges and their role as a part of the food ecosystem,” Julie Su, deputy mayor for "economic justice," told the Post in a statement. But what really happened was that bodega owners reported to City Hall last week at Su's invitation for a roundtable discussion, "only to get barraged with 'intrusive' questions about their businesses," according to the Post's source.

The questionnaire bodega owners were expected to fill out included questions like, “What items are sold the most at your stores?” and “Where is your profit margin the greatest?”

The correct answer to questions like those is, "Get stuffed."


But he assures us that's not going to happen. Sure, Jan.

Su told the Post, "we wanted to understand whether there are key products bodegas sell and rely on that we should not sell. That’s how serious we are about not undercutting them."

133 Ford famously avoided the direct taxpayer-funded bailouts that General Motors & Chrysler required to survive the 2008 financial crisis, but has received billions of dollars in other forms of government assistance.

But Ford frequently utilizes state and local tax credits, infrastructure grants, and workforce development funds to build and operate its manufacturing footprint across the United States.

In 2023, the federal government issued a $9.2 billion loan to a joint venture between Ford and SK Innovation to help construct electric vehicle battery plants. The initial $9.2 billion conditional commitment announced by the Department of Energy (DOE) was later finalized as a $9.63 billion direct loan in December 2024.

Issued under the Advanced Technology Vehicles Manufacturing (ATVM) program, it stands as the largest single loan in the history of the DOE.

The BlueOval SK joint venture dissolved late 2025; the deal restructured 2026, and under the revised sponsorship agreements, Ford directly guarantees 50% of the loan's payment obligations.

Maybe it's apples to oranges, but it seems very 'slick' to me. 🤷‍♀️

EV motorcycles could fill a niche similar to EV cars, i.e. limited range within populated areas. But most people don't buy bikes to commute, they buy them for recreation.

Also, a part of the market (typified by H-D) explicitly doesn't want innovation.

Ferrari was warned. Every other super-EV of the last few years was a sales abomination. Lambo had its own super-EV in the works (the Lanzador) but wisely shitcanned the entire product when the company realized there was zero customer interest.

I do, it privatizes benefits and lays costs on the taxpayers. Rent seeking behavior and in most cases, the math doesn't work out. Like those EV plants, suddenly not needed, millions spent by state governments for non existent jobs, but the land developers made bank. See Rivian and Georgia for an example.

Often, these factories are built, then the company decides to offshore the production to make a few more bucks per unit and takes the machinery with them leaving a debt payments for the locale and an unsalable big empty building.

In almost all cases, the subsidies or tax abatements, if you had to do them, should go to existing local firms that are unlikely to suddenly move somewhere else. But those don't get plaudits from the local media when they lie about the cost/benefit analysis and profits for the pols from land developers.

140 • Those 2,322 EVs included discontinued F150 Lightnings, which Ford is practically giving away to make them go away. I’d call it a “fire sale,” but that seems a little insensitive considering the Lightning’s propensity to spontaneously erupt into flames.

-------------------------------------------

Not that I'd buy one in 100 years, but I thought I'd see how cheap they were in Northern Virginia. The cheapest I saw in a brief look was still over $50K, a markdown of $8000. There were others still at $60K+, marked down only by $1-2K. Perhaps there are all sorts of incentives I'm missing, but that's not a clearance sale to me. I guess the local dealers still like having money tied up in aging inventory.

A fair chunk of those bodegas are selling stolen merchandise from boosters from teh local CVS, Walgreens, grocery stores, Wal Marts, etc. And many are also in the business of food stamp fraud.

Capitalism is a means to an end, it is not an end in itself. Far better at allocating resources than socialism because pricing more information rich than government fiats but that does not, in and of itself, mean that all capitalists are virtuous as a class.

I would guess that Adam Sandler is her friend and hopefully he had a conversation with the couple beforehand to determine what their vows would be instead of winging it. Getting your friend, father, brother , etc to officiate is now increasingly popular with people who do not belong to/ go to a church or synagogue and are not really into organized religion, and if people have been living together it obviates the need to have premarital counseling that most religious groups require.

Well it was supposedly already under review and that committee made their decision "independently". I think the issue was that the penalty was not called on the field, not even a yellow. And they used the review to determine intent - when it is only supposed to be for contact.

Its a weird and nearly pointless sport, where the players routinely flop to attempt to gain an advantage. It happens in other sports, but the comical writhing in agony, to then hop up and sprint downfield when the referee ignores you is just too common. Its like big time wrestling or something. Its a much play acting as it is sport.

244 Swift adopted leftwing politics because she thought it made business sense.

I suspect she sees going too far down the woke path isn't going to make her more $$$

It jumped her from stardom to superstardom. They gave her Capital One commercials, big movies, and fawning media once she committed to them. Before that she was still on the fringes of world domination. The leftard sellout cinched it. They can't risk another Trump so you have to sell your soul to them before you are allowed too much influence.

245 The player in Redcardgate is an anchor baby. He was born in the US because his mom was too pregnant to fly back home after visiting. Airline refused to board her. So she popped little Flo on US soil. He went to the UK immediately and spent his entire left there. A couple of decades later US soccer was like hey that guy over there who hasn’t spent a day of his life in America …fuck we can use him.

Trump went to bat for him a few days after the scotus case that would have made him not eligible to play for the US, had the case gone his way and 25 years earlier.

His Birthday is July 3. He missed being a 4th of July baby by hours.

Life takes weird turns.

246 And Belgium has filed a complaint against FISA for reinstating the American player.. Proof positive to me that the call was fixed...

247 Look at the build date on any domestic car and the number of problems is directly tied to a built time that spans a Friday or a Monday.
Only buy cars built Tuesday through Thursday.

I was not suggesting JP's don't take this responsibility seriously only that they usually don't do premarital counseling.

254 227 Ford famously avoided the direct taxpayer-funded bailouts that General Motors & Chrysler required to survive the 2008 financial crisis"

And regretted doing so, once they saw billions pour in without actually making and selling things

GM and Chrysler went bankrupt. Maybe the union workers regret the lack of it, but the owners certainly don't.

255 He's actually one of the potentials I fear most. Or I would if, you know, he weren't a filthy Joo.

Yeah, he's arguably their best potential candidate, but the Gaza worship has only gotten stronger since Kamala passed him over.

258 Those of you who want simpler "no frills" cars have routinely been proven to be a very small but vocal minority of automotive buyers time and time again.

The dealers are unanimous, the de-featured base models are the ones that sit on the lot the longest.

The new Slate EV "truck" doesn't have anything ... not even a stereo. Crank windows. Manual mirrors. Its starting price is $25k and you don't even get A/C for that.

260 I hope Ford and GM fail hard. I bought nothing but American cars for 40 years. Then they conspired with communists for the EV scam, they don’t make actual cars anymore, and they showed their political colors during the 2020 shitshow . Done with them and the UAW. Bought two Kia’s in the last 18 months.

261 "many of the company’s veteran technicians left Ford before their knowledge could be used to improve the performance of the AI tools."

They proved themselves smarter than the idiot software weenies on the west coast who obligingly trained their H-1B replacements.
