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.”
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.
“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.”
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”).
Have a good day,

Give farmers a customer instead of a check, feed America with American grown agriculture and create a whole new incentive structure that allows American family farms to thrive year after year.

The attempt to ban Le Pen from standing is widely viewed as an attempt to prevent her from winning via legalistic rather than democratic means, similar to the efforts to bar Donald J. Trump from ballots or imprison him prior to the 2024 election in the U.S., and growing efforts to penalize Reform UK party leader Nigel Farage for a range of supposed administrative missteps in the United Kingdom.
