The Morning Report — 6/ 1 /26

Good morning kids. June is busting out all over!

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Amy Gertner, who married Platner in 2023, said that she was “deeply hurt” about the campaign’s former political director, whom she tipped off about the sexting, confirming the messages to the press.
The video drew widespread criticism from observers who said it appeared that Platner was letting his wife take the heat for him.
“It looks and sounds like a hostage video,” one X user posted. “Blink twice if you need rescuing, Amy.”
The randy oyster farmer is believed to have had sexting affairs with up to a dozen women, according to reports.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Have a great day,

AMERICA & ISRAEL STRIKE IRAN!

In a Truth Social post in the late morning, the president indicated he was prepared to make a “final determination” during the meeting amid reports that U.S. and Iranian negotiators had reached an agreement for a ceasefire extension, contingent on his approval, as Breitbart News reported:
White House Official After Situation Room Meeting: Trump Will Only Make Iran Deal that ‘Satisfies His Redlines’
To deal or not to deal. That is the question the Iranians are asking themselves today.
We Are Only in Act III of the Iran War
Other than a complete, unconditional reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, the world’s unlikely to see any complete, on-the-record list of each party’s obligations; Iran’s leaders don’t dare admit they’re doing everything our president demands. Then again, even if the regime does commit on paper to giving up the enriched uranium, Iran has repeatedly proved its promises mean nothing.
What will it mean if Trump takes this Iran deal?
An Iranian official told the outlet that the “nonaggression pact” includes a U.S.-facilitated “international investment fund” for the country’s redevelopment. Other officials contacted by The New York Times (NYT) would not confirm an amount. (RELATED: US Strikes Iran As Top Negotiators Search For War Off Ramp)

This is not the first time that a judge has been accused of making anti-white remarks. In February last year, it was revealed that U.S. District Court Judge John McConnell, who blocked an order by President Donald J. Trump to freeze federal grant spending at the time, went on an anti-white, anti-Trump tirade in an interview a few years prior. Later that same year, Richard Bennett, a federal judge, upheld anti-white admissions policies at the United States Naval Academy. “The Academy has tied its use of race to the realization of an officer corps that represents the country it protects and the people it leads,” Bennett argued at the time.

31 Khanna said, But when you take away the due process, ICE basically can say that I can say to someone, you’re a violent criminal, we’re going to get rid of you, and there’s no recourse. There’s no system of law.

Ice does not need to say you are violent.
A U.S. immigration officer (this includes ICE, CBP, and even sworn state and local law enforcement) must determine that the person is inadmissible to the United States based on having either:
lied or misrepresented a material fact, including falsely claiming U.S. citizenship, in obtaining U.S. entry documents or admission, or
entered the U.S. without a valid entry document (such as a visa or border crosser card) or travel document (such as a passport).

41 Trump did not have an affair with Stormy Daniels, more importantly, Stormy Daniels has denied having an affair with Trump.

As to Trumps infidelity, there is really no public evidence that Trump cheated on any of his wives, what is publicly known is that he was married, got divorced, married again.

The tell that Trump is a good guy is that he has had good relationships with his x-wives and they Denver had a bad word for him.

Trump hasn't transferred anything, and isn't going to. He's just stalling, and there could be a number of reasons. He's not going to release any frozen assets until - at a minimum - the US has the heavily-enriched uranium in-hand, and there's no way the mullahs would ever surrender it.

If you want to talk about "economic shocks", and "50 times", the Supreme Leader is obviously determined to hit NYC with a nuke, and that economic shock would be 50 times 9/11. Obama set us up for that; Trump is solving the 47 year long problem.

Indeed. I remember back when I still watched Fox during Trump's first campaign, they were interviewing him, and got his first wife on the phone. She gladly endorsed him, and he at least acted surprised. He seemed to have a genuine respect and even affection for his first wife, even after all the horrible things she claimed during their divorce. They seemed to be saying "when you get divorced, it's what you do". I don't think she accused him of cheating - she accused him of rape, IIRC. I don't know what went wrong with that marriage, but it's probably impossible to really find out.

Ivanka died under what I thought was suspicious circumstances, and I would suspect the same people who are trying to assasinate him and his family, not him. She apparently wasn't well=protected.

He even had university professors arguing on his side and conspiracy theorists arguing his patent was rejected due to the sinister influence of big energy companies like Chevron and GE.

He has also falsely claimed that the well-documented sexual violence committed by Hamas and other terrorists on October 7, 2023 did not take place. Piker’s casual and frequent assertions of support for terrorist groups and the violence they commit normalize the use of violence to his millions of followers.

Yet Democrats like Rep. Ro Khanna, Sen. Bernie Sanders, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani flock to Piker’s side to soak in his alleged wisdom.

Nothing about actually GETTING that patent though.

Really, he just sounds like a quack, but it reminds me of something I was hearing about the Big Bang Theory recently (not the show). I swear there was something about it that appeared to violate the conservation of energy, and the attitude about THAT was essentially that when it comes to their precious BBT, that natural laws like that are more of a SUGGESTION.

I'm certainly not a Creationist, or anything like that, but have had a problem with the BBT for a long time. For one thing, it sounds suspiciously like the Biblical story of Creation, just with a different timeline. Universe just pops into existence all of a sudden for no apparent reason. They teach it as fact, instead of just an educated "best guess" that could be supplanted any time.

Well, it's more than a best guess, it's the only thing that explains physical reality.

The universe is observed to be expanding in all directions from a general space-time location, if it is expanding in all directions form a single point, then ipso facto at one time, approximately 13.8B years ago, the entire physical universe was located in a single point vector of near infinate density.

I don’t understand why the origin of the universe can be considered a topic of scientific investigation in any way. By definition, science must be about phenomena that are observable and reproducible. The origin of the universe is neither: no one observed (except IMHO God himself) and certainly it cannot be reproduced for observation…. So it’s entirely in the realm of speculation.

To say "it's the only thing" is just arrogant. You could say that about any scientific theory that was later refined also.

Without a time machine, you can't know whether the expansion has gone on for all time, or even started at a single point. It's just an extrapolation. Who's to say the expansion isn't some sort of illusion, that can't ultimately be explained in other ways. Where does that timeline really even come from?

187 On X, the most likely scenario is, Planter resigns in the window before early July that allows the state party to install their candidate.

Most likely being the secretary of state, the loon that decreed Trump removed from the ballot over J6.

And that ties neatly into another reason Dems must stop the weaponization fund:
They can't afford the public getting facts and truth about those prosecutions.

Plus: only the most committed Dem voters believe the official J6 narrative. Their selection of her would be a desperate admission of weakness.

I don't disagree that they are mad and petty but they are also losing. And not by a little.

The number of establishment and non-MAGA incumbents that are being taken out is pretty remarkable including 2 incumbent Republican Senators and a couple more who are leaving before suffering the same fate.

That's the thing - there's a distinction to be made between actual science, and the scientific establishment. (Perhaps the best known observation of this distinction is in a little book called "Atlas Shrugged".)

A certain amount of "science" is barely science at all. Certainly "climate science" doesn't really qualify, at least not the Global Warming theory. A lot of astronomy defies use of the scientific method. Seems to me like a lot of archeology has the same problem. It's all this junk science pushed by the scientific establishment that taints the reputation of actual real science.

“Joining us now is Mark McKinnon, former advisor to George W. Bush and John McCain… Mark, you have a long career advising Republicans in Texas.”

In reality, McKinnon’s Republican credentials are extremely thin and dated. His last significant Republican work was on John McCain’s 2008 presidential campaign, which he quit because he wanted Barack Obama to win, saying Obama’s election “would send a great message to the country and the world.”

Establishment power is falling aside on both sides of the aisle and being replaced by the polar opposite as was noted above. The uniparty is losing power in favor of 2 factions that are diametrically opposed to each other, MAGA and the Communists.

Bright lines are going to change some voting patterns. A lot of people might not like Trump or MAGA but they hate Communists. Some will go the other way. It's getting increasingly difficult for Democrats to pretend they are anything other than the far left anti-American party they have become.

Or defend the only scientists whose explanations you'll accept.
Like the ones who thought JWST would show us galaxies in their earliest stages of formation. They were sure of it.
And when those first images came back,,, just hand wave it away with 'galaxies must have started forming much earlier than we thought.'
Ignore that guy over there that got it correct,,, and predicted it,,, and predicted what our hand waving, rescue mechanism would be.

Lately I've been trying to make sense out of Maxwell's Equations, which seem to be overcomplicated, as far as natural laws go. I have to wonder if there isn't a better way to look at it that comes up with the same result, only makes more sense, and gives additional insight.

The whole idea of a magnetic field seems artificial to me. There's no such thing as a "magnetic particle" - it's just part of what happens with electric particles.

I have to wonder if something similar could be worked out for gravity, where some additional funky thing happens with time-varying and moving matter. Maybe such an expansion of gravity would explain anti-gravity (which sounds like it might be real).

Then again, gravity was explained away by bending all of Creation around, as per Relativity. Some people still complain about that not making sense, BTW, despite what it manages to explain. Just because a theory "works" it doesn't necessarily mean it's the best and most insightful way of explaining things.

Who is in charge of the Republican Party now? MAGA. We have the Party control, the Presidency and the House. The Senate is the last holdout and we are chipping away at that rapidly. All of the energy in the Party is with us, I don't see the point in tossing that away just to rebuild and entire Party apparatus from scratch. Easier to purge he remaining establishment types.

And this isn't happening just at the national level but at the state level as well. It might not be happening as fast as we all want but building an entirely new party from scratch will take a hell of a lot longer.

It seems to me that it's more like MAGA vs the Globalists. The Globalists just use the Communists and Islamists as tools. The Globalists are the ones with a controlling interest in the global stores of wealth.

I suspect the Globalists are really just the same people who were behind the Nazis, back in WWII, then sold everybody on the notion that the Nazi movement was one and the same with Hitler - that it wouldn't have happened if you went back in time and killed Hitler, and that it magically went away when Hitler died (and the story of his demise just seems ludicrous to me at this point, with all that has been exposed).

Authoritarians backed by corporations, controlling governments. Practically the definition of both Nazis AND Globalists - fascists. Same bad guys, different generation. Watch "The Sum of All Fears" some time, and ask yourself why Trump is such a fan of Nassum Dorma. Fictional story; real bad guys.

323 Kik is 100 percent for kids, my kids used it in middle school. it's creepy when HIGH SCHOOLERS use it (or was to them)

of course that was way back when it started and wasn't filled with pedos

Platner on Kik ABSOLUTELY indicates pedo. If he were an R, the press would be banging that drum shamelessly

and honestly, that IS what it indicates.

I read that in the book (The Stranger in the Woods) about Christopher Knight,"the last American hermit," so it was published only 9 years ago in 2017. But, it was just an aside rather than some major point in the book. As I recall the reasoning given by the author was that many Mainers (Mainites?) have a strong libertarian streak. The author also seemed to be kind of a flake, so who knows.

Platner, even ignoring him being a NAZI pedo, just don't look like a good fit for Maine.

Yes yes with enough fraud and if the economy takes a downturn he could win.

But why not choose Gov Mills or some other bowl of tepid water to run? They'll vote the same way as Platner if they win, and they'd have a better chance of winning

Sherrod Brown approves this campaign message that his opponent John Husted received campaign donations from "Epstein Conspirators". Sad reality is that Les Wexner has a lot of money from his enterprises and donates a lot of money (to Ohio State medical center etc) including to politicians over the years.

I was reading about the FL law that provides for the execution of child rapists.

The left made two arguments against it...and yes the left was 100% opposed:

1) The SC said you can't execute people for non-murder crimes. But...that's procedural crap. And this SC is probably willing to overturn that

2) This is transphobic! Why? Because it will lead to a bunch of trannies getting executed because...uh...transphobia!

This could be hilarious if FL has someone convicted this summer as come election time the Dems will be arguing:

The Democrats are finding it very difficult to identify prospective candidates that meet the currently required policy positions. However, there are ways around the requirements. Jooos will get a pass on the anti-Semite requirement if they are rabidly anti-Zionist and pro-Hamas.

388 Good morning, all, and thanks, J.J.

There is so much wrong with the 'making of Graham Platner' and it seems to begin quite long ago, it's hard to imagine his immediate family shocked over any alleged new revelations. (Seriously, it - his life stories - the clarifications and interpretations - goes on and on with the man, his mother, and now his wife. Lay all of the stuff out of his alleged bio & research. It's all one big 'but then..." excuse after facts.)

It seems his wife, Amy Gertner, whom he married in 2024, alleged the sexting info to his then campaign director in the spring of 2025, and now Amy Gertner works full-time for her husband's U.S. Senate campaign as the (paid, biweekly $1,800) volunteer coordinator and schedule manager. ('Who is Graham Platner's wife? 5 things to know about Amy Gertner amid explicit texts row.' Amy Gertner, the wife of Senate hopeful Graham Platner of Maine, had previously alleged that he exchanged sexually explicit texts with other women. Published on: May 31, 2026)

Speaking of 2025, that's when the video surfaced of Graham Platner dancing to 'Wrecking Ball' donned only in his "Marine silkies" as a gift 😏 for his then former step

Posted by: L - No nic, another fine day at June 01, 2026 09:41 AM (NFX2v)

389 brother's fiancé or new wife, on the wedding day, AND the couple Jewish. (Note: Graham & the US Marine Corps departed ways in 2007 after this 3rd tour in Iraq. And, Marine silkies were ultra-short, lightweight nylon running shorts historically worn by the U.S. Marine Corps for physical training but phased out of official unit PT in 2011.)

The above Surprise!! video appeared on an episode of Pod Save America on X - very much former Pres. Obama's supporting group) Oct. 2025 - after Platner's campaign did opposition research & gave the podcast the video. (Getting out in front of it, obviously.) And, according to the information provided by Platner during the podcast, the Jewish couple's wedding would have been in 2015.

Now his tattoo. Allegedly, done 2007 in Croatia. Who knows? He had also joined the Maryland Army National Guard in 2009 & did a tour in Afghanistan 2010 to 2011. However, the U.S. military then & now does not treat the Totenkopf as standard; it explicitly screens for & bans it as a hate symbol.

Perhaps he concealed it from his later US military service with the Maryland National Guard, which would have included fitness exams, or got it afterwards.

Posted by: L - No nic, another fine day at June 01, 2026 09:41 AM (NFX2v)

390 Or anytime thereafter including when he was briefly a contractor reportedly guarding a U.S. ambassador, 2018. Again, who knows?

But somehow the video appeared 2025 and his campaign moved to get out in front of it AND he had the tattoo 'covered' with more ink.

Disability: He filed for Maine's 100% disabled veteran property tax exemption for the first time in 2021, so his 100% VA disability ("herniated discs, bad knees, shoulder damage, PTSD") would have been finalized by then.

The issue is, does Platner's rating fall under Total Disability Based on Individual Unemployability (TDIU)? TDIU is awarded when the VA decides a veteran's injuries prevent them from holding standard, gainful employment. While generally prohibited from gainful employment, recipients may work in 'marginal' jobs, earning below federal poverty threshold or w/i protected environments. Platner will not say if his VA rating has been based on TDIU or not.

There more, so much more. But, nowadays, will it matter?

Good Day 🤗

I have the box set, given to me as a gift. Love the show, and see many of the characters in people I know, or have known, having worked in tech field all my life. Having been a science and electronics nerd since I was a kid growing up in the 50's and early 60's. I see much of Leonard in myself. I have known quite a few Sheldons in my lifelong career. LOL!!

394 >>Platner, even ignoring him being a NAZI pedo, just don't look like a good fit for Maine.

Take a drive through Portland or South Portland on any given day - count the number of "Trump is Hitler!" and "MAGA is a terrorist group!" signs and tell me that Platner isn't a good fit for Maine.

I'm surrounded by bonafide lunatics. If it weren't for my little pocket of sanity in my neighborhood, I'd be absolutely going nuts. Every Saturday and Sunday I have to drive past a gaggle of idiots on the sidewalk "ICE is murdering us!" signs held by what amounts to the faculty lounge of Harvard.

Of course, I make sure they inhale plenty of unburnt diesel fumes and listen to Ice Ice Baby as loud as my stereo can blast it, but still, they're f*cking everywhere here.

Maine is lost.

395 In 1931, a book titled "Hundert Autoren Gegen Einstein" (One Hundred Authors Against Einstein) was published, compiling critiques of Einstein's theory of relativity, to which Einstein famously replied that if he were wrong, one author would have been enough.

It's "triggering" because it points out sin.
People don't want to give it up. None of us are ever totally able to do so, though some seem to think they have.

When God asks me about mine all I'm going to be able to do is point to what my Lord and Saviour did for me with His death, burial and resurrection.
What can wash away my sin?
Nothing but the blood of Jesus!!!

397 380 Penny figured it out. Sheldon just verified the math.

Penny, with no last name (LOL).

I liked the first several seasons, but got tired of it after a while. It became a soap opera about Penny and Leonard's unlikely relationship, and basically the corruption of Sheldon. It was funny, because at some point I realized it wasn't a Romeo and Juliet romance about Penny and Leonard being from different worlds, but was primarily about Sheldon, who is cast as something of a real-life superhero.

As far as exploring the world of high-IQ people though, I found the show "Scorpion" to be much more inciteful. It's funny to see how some of the episodes predicted real-life, to an amazing extent. An episode where bats are described as "virus sacks" that spread diseases to humans (years before COVID). An episode where drugs are being imported using drones, and the drones are taken out with microwaves (years before Ukraine).

398 391 In private healthcare the patient is a profit center.

In government healthcare the patient is a cost center.

MAID, forced euthanasia, is inevitable in government healthcare.

I guess it depends. With the Fabian Socialists, they're trying to take down the system overwhelming the system with social spending. They wouldn't want you dead, because the rampant government overspending is BY DESIGN, and works towards their goal.

But the real fight is with the Globalists, and they want de-population (among other things). So you can tell which is running Canada right now - a card-carrying WEF Globalist.

400 Maine is lost.
-
The elitist are supporting him, continuously remolding him, newly presenting him with his anger against the political system. Facebook, The New York Time's post, May 16 - On "The Interview"
-
They know what he is. BBC, Maine Senate candidate apologises for tattoo that resembles Nazi symbol
22 October 2025

In part, "Platner's former political director, Genevieve McDonald, who resigned from his campaign last week, called the tattoo antisemitic.

"Maybe he didn't know it when he got it, but he got it years ago and he should have had it covered up because he knows damn well what it means," she said, according to US media reports." (And then in steps the new wife & likely his mom yet again.)

The ruling class millionaires desperately want the return of their USAID & diplomatic money to play with & for political control vs. the U.S.' military spending.

"Senator Bernie Sanders, one of Platner's most prominent supporters, defended him on Tuesday, saying the tattoo was chosen while he was inebriated."

That's the virtuous Bernie Sanders.

Happening in PA, too. Formerly respectable democrats are being voted out of office for a much different species.

403 As I recall the reasoning given by the author was that many Mainers (Mainites?) have a strong libertarian streak. The author also seemed to be kind of a flake, so who knows.

I have read that people from ME are “down Easters”. I will leave that to the Maniacs to decide if that is in fact true or a fiction. (And when last in ME some there called themselves Maniacs. I’m sure in jest.)
