With Platner, Dems Discover Their Motto: Vote For The Nazi

"Democrats will support someone — anyone — who will help them defeat Republicans."

The Federalist

Who does this mal-educated generation consider to be "Nazis"? Real ones who murdered Jewish toddlers with their bare hands? Or the Israeli people who have been murdered and bombed for years by Hamas. Recall in 1972 how the Israeli Olympic team was murdered by them? TD

Nazi Posters: “Get rid misery, get rid of the Jews,”
this poster says.

. . . "Yet consider just some of the recent quotes by Democrats and their allies attempting to rationalize their continued support for a candidate with Nazi ink and a documented history of abusive behavior toward women:

• “Several donors I know are still all-in for Platner because he’s not Susan Collins and he’s a Democrat.”
• “We don’t care. I think that’s the case for many donors. Anybody who beats Susan Collins will do.”
• “He was a mean boyfriend when he got out of the military and was drinking. Susan Collins was the defining vote for the Big Beautiful Bill. … They just want to defeat him. They just want to make sure that the status quo remains in place. … I think the fight’s worth having.”
• And then there’s Sen. Bernie Sanders: “We cannot continue to allow the Republican Party to control the Senate and push forward Trump’s oligarchic and authoritarian agenda. And there is only one candidate who will do something about it. That candidate is Graham Platner.”

"These activists will support someone — anyone — who will help them defeat Collins in the Senate campaign and, by extension, Donald Trump. In their rush to stand up to President Trump’s alleged fascist tendencies, they are willing to support … an actual fascist, or at least someone with a fascist tattoo on his chest.

"Or, to put their position more simply: Vote for the Nazi: It’s important." . . .

"I have never understood the concept of casting a vote solely to oppose someone, rather than voting only for such candidate(s) I can affirmatively support. Of course, as a registered Republican living in the District of Columbia, my vote won’t come close to deciding any election while I live in Washington, giving me a luxury of conscience that people elsewhere don’t have.

"That said, Collins, or a group allied with her, could do worse than to reprise and adapt the slogan from the 1991 Louisiana runoff to use against Platner. Perhaps this admitted act of trolling would remind Democrats, and all of us, that we should expect a modicum of decency from candidates who seek to represent us in public office." . . .

Why Platner's Death Camp Guard Tattoo Really Is No Big Deal to Democrats

"One of the most fascinating cultural phenomena of 2026, aside from the fact that the Washington Post wants you to believe that a clean reflecting pool is inferior to a scummy, leaking, stinking one, is the spectacle of leftists explaining that a leftist candidate with a Nazi tattoo is really a great guy, even if he muses about raping burglars, abuses girlfriends, and went off to war because he lusted after the opportunity to kill people. " . . .

How Long Will Democrats Keep Defending Platner?

"Yet, when Sen. Cory Booker (D-N.J.) was asked about Platner on ABC News, he feigned “concern” then pivoted to President Trump: “This man is dangerous, and it’s time that we take back the Senate. And that’s what I’m focused on.'”

Der Oysterführer

Their defense of this creepy character reveals how much control the far left has over the party.   

. . . "The Nazi tattoo is by no means the only noxious element in the cloud of controversy that follows Platner around. It has been previously reported that he has engaged in lewd acts in portable toilets, attacked a Purple Heart recipient as someone “who didn’t deserve to live,” has a still-active account on an app called KiK, apparently used for hookups with underage girls, sexted with numerous women outside his marriage, ad infinitum. Yet, Rep. Ro Khanna (D-Calif.) posted, “I am proud of @grahamformaine for having the character to stand up against the war in Iran, against genocide, and against an unfair & lopsided economy. I am proud of him for having a vision for a new deal for our time. Excited to campaign with him on June 5!”

. . . "Graham Platner is incontrovertibly a depraved, deceptive imposter. He is no more qualified to be a United States Senator than he is to work alongside genuine oystermen. Yet, because he appears to lead Sen. Collins in the general election polls, as reflected in the RCP average, the Democrats will allow no criticism of him, no matter what he says or does. The good news is that Sen. Collins, as annoying as she can be, has defeated far better men than Platner. If his numbers crash due to the latest scandals, that is when the Democrats will stop defending him."

Congratulations, lefties! You won, and broke the system

 NY Post  

"And that’s why the police and fire departments will remain underfunded. Potholes will increase in number, and the sidewalks will stay busted up. The streetlights will stay dark. That sense of fear that a crazy person might attack you will continue. This is what Spencer Pratt was talking about. Of course, he had to be silenced. "

"Congratulations to the Left. To all the progressives, socialists, communists, anarchists and former normal liberals, you won! You pulled it off.

""You’ve completely undermined the county, the city, the electoral process and democracy itself. And you did it without 99% of the population even aware of what was coming. 

"Those in [the] progressive crowd are incredibly patient and methodical. Inch by inch, they infiltrated nearly all the elective offices, bureaucracies, and most of the media. They are a relentless force, a malignancy that has choked the joy out of everyday life in many parts of Los Angeles. More on that in a moment. 

"But first, here’s what they did to make certain Spencer Pratt was knocked out of the runoff. Starting in 2018, under Jerry Brown and Gavin Newsom, the supermajority Democratic Legislature began the process of creating an entirely new electoral system. They greatly expanded it in 2020 under the cover of COVID-19, so everyone on the voter rolls is mailed a ballot.

"Meanwhile, we pay for the meth pipes, crack pipes, syringes, and even the drugs themselves. 

"The Legislature created an absurd system, in which the “nonprofit” employees or others can wander the streets, registering the homeless to vote. The vagrant’s address might be the nonprofit’s facility. One shelter had 1,160 voters listed, with 120 beds. 

"As The California Post has reported, a number of men and women who live on Skid Row have said hey were paid to vote for Mayor Karen Bass or Councilwoman Nithya Raman."   More...

"While Spencer Pratt ran on a platform that involved cleaning up Los Angeles’ filthy streets and sprawling homelessness, his far-left rivals allegedly used those homeless individuals as a cheap way to pad their vote counts. 

In the days that followed the election, Raman slowly ate away at Pratt’s once-sizable lead, overtaking him for second place and seemingly securing a spot on the ballot against incumbent Mayor Karen Bass later this year.

That suspicious reversal has fueled speculation of fraud, and this report from TheBlaze probably won’t help alleviate those suspicions:

Nancy Guthrie case takes major turn after Mexico officials get grim grave tip-off

 The Mirror US 

 "It's incredibly difficult to grasp that there have been no new viable leads, and no significant evidence beyond the doorbell camera footage. How is that even possible?"

Video

"Searchers in Mexico are following up on an anonymous tip about a possible grave site connected to the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie, the mother of Today co-host Savannah Guthrie, according to a volunteer group leader.

"Ramona Guadalupe Ayala Ortiz, who leads the missing-persons search group Buscando Corazones Nogales, said her organization received a report Wednesday indicating that a burial site possibly linked to Nancy's case may have been located, prompting an extensive search effort in Mexico, near the Arizona border, she told the outlet El Imparcial.

"Officials have not verified the claim, and it remains unclear whether investigators have established any connection between Nancy Guthrie's case and Mexico, or whether the alleged grave has any link to her at all. It comes after a former FBI agent predicted the exact occupation of Nancy's kidnapper.

"Volunteer search teams, who have spent weeks scouring isolated areas in the region as part of the broader hunt for the 84-year-old, were reportedly the ones to investigate the new information about a possible grave near the Mexico border.

"Nancy disappeared from her residence near Tucson in February. Investigators have said indications of a struggle at the property point toward an abduction.

"Shortly after she went missing, reports indicated that investigators discovered blood at the home, though its source has not been identified." . . . More...

Reflections and Ruminations; A Visit with Col/Dr. Moti Kedar

 Phyllis Chesler

"Oh, I could go on, but Dr. Mordechai taped our conversation, and he may have much more to quote from. As to what he told me: I dare not repeat most of it. Suffice it to say: The Jews are also at war with each other in the Holy Land."

"When I first heard that people were bringing the Hamas footage of 10/7 to Davos to be seen--I said: "I don't think that's a good idea. The sight of Jewish blood and of Jewish weakness will incite even more blood lust among the Jew haters."

"I think I had a point--and yet, I lacked the requisite power to enforce any opinion, however prescient or plausible it might have been. Indeed, the footage did just that.

"I also said that the best place for this toxic footage is in a Jerusalem courtroom in a trial similar to that of Eichmann's. I stressed that expecting such footage and all subsequent forensic and witness accounts to be impartially heard in an international venue was a fool's errand and a huge mistake.

"My guest, last night, my dear friend and colleague, Dr. Mordechai Kedar, suggested that if Israel dared try Palestinian terrorists in a Jerusalem courtroom that the world would probably cheer for the barbarians as "freedom fighters." A better decision would be assassinating them, one by one, so that each and every Hamas leader or collaborator would know that, one by one, their day of death was imminent, sooner rather than later. I believe this is precisely what Israel has been doing; it is as "proportional" as Hell, ain't it?

"Lt. Colonel/Dr. Mordechai was here to interview me about the state of American Jewry. And so I talked about all our self-loving Jews who loved themselves and their privileged positions so very much that they would do anything to keep their places even if it meant having to demonize other Jews--just so long as they were spared. At least for now. Or for a very long time. Take them--the "oustjuden." The "greenhorns." The haredim. The right-wing Israelis. Especially PM Netanyahu. The IDF. The "settlers." All those Jewish thinkers and writers who support any of the above, etc.

"Yes, we have our own American judenrat--those infamous and pitiful councils which chose which Jews the Nazis could take first--and did so in order to spare hundreds or thousands for a while longer." . . .

"Some Reform and some Reconstructionist American "temples" are pro forma anti-Zionists--and passionately and loudly so. One such temple invited and then dis-invited me as a lecturer. Only afterwards did I discover that they did not allow an Israeli flag on the bima and said no prayers for the state of Israel." . . .

Gavin Newsom Broke His Promise About California’s Fire Management Work

"Starting last year, the governor “fast-tracked” land, now totaling nearly 100,000 acres, for fire management. So far, state-approved groups have completed projects covering less than 1 percent."

City Journal  

Newsom’s actions are reckless and ideological. The state has funded solar panels and sex-change procedures for illegal immigrants but cannot be bothered to protect its residents from recurring wildfires. As the summer heats up, California residents should remember: Newsom’s priorities have left them more vulnerable than ever.

"Last year, in the aftermath of Los Angeles’s devastating wildfires, California Governor Gavin Newsom promised to speed up “critical” wildfire-prevention projects. Newsom issued an emergency proclamation to “cut bureaucratic red tape” and “fast-track critical projects,” including brush clearance, forest thinning, prescribed burning, and other forms of fuels reduction.

"'These are the forest management projects we need to protect our communities most vulnerable to wildfire,” Newsom said last spring. “[W]e’re going to get them done.”

"We filed a public records request to discover whether Newsom is keeping his word. As of last month, the Newsom administration had fast-tracked fuels-reduction work on roughly 87,000 acres of land. But internal records we obtained from state fire authorities indicate that state-approved organizations had completed projects totaling about 781 acres—less than 1 percent.

"These numbers are disastrous. The governor’s office insisted that these projects, which are part of the state’s larger wildfire-prevention efforts, were “critical” and would help “protect communities from catastrophic wildfire.” The documents we obtained, which concern the fast-tracked projects, reveal that the Newsom administration has failed to protect the state.

"What has put so much of California at risk to burn? In part, the state’s environmental rules. In California, fuels-reduction projects typically require environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Under standard CEQA review, a vegetation-management project typically requires an initial study, an Environmental Impact Report, a public comment period, alternatives analysis, and agency certification. That process can take several months for simple projects and a year or more for complex ones.

"Newsom’s emergency proclamation provided a way for certain projects to bypass this CEQA process but limited the exemption to small projects of no more than 3,000 acres. The application window expired last month. Now, despite the governor’s declaration of war against “red tape,” it seems that the red tape won." . . . More...

Indefensible: Jasmine Crockett Goes Off the Rails in Jaw-Dropping Defense of Karmelo Anthony

Disgusting: Jasmine Crockett Admits She Might Have Sta[bb]ed Austin Metcalf — The Rest of Her Crass Comments Are Just as Bad (Videos) – Defiant America  . . . "Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) just showed the world exactly how low some Democrats are willing to go in defense of a convicted killer.

In the wake of Karmelo Anthony’s conviction for stabbing 17-year-old Austin Metcalf to death at a Texas track meet, Crockett decided to weigh in with a series of comments that are as cruel as they are tone-deaf.

"First, she claimed that Black women in America face more suffering than the Metcalf family ever could. Crockett said: “Black women live in agony every day that I promise the Metcalfs had never lived through.' ”

UPDATE: Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas), one of the most morally despicable stooges in Congress, claimed murdered teen Austin Metcalf’s family have never suffered as she suffers for being black, and that killer Karmelo Anthony was justified in randomly stabbing Metcalf to death. . . "Crockett's most ridiculous statement was "And we're going to have some real conversations about race in this country." When was the last time any Democrat in Congress shut up about race? Also, they really don't want to have a conversation about race. They want to keep acting as if nothing in America has changed since 1955 and be able to scream "RAAAAACISM!" whenever they don't have a solid position on an issue or in an argument." . . .  

The Democratic Party Is the Most Racist Organization in America | Opinion - Newsweek . . .

Belfast Riots Follow Brutal Stabbing by Asylum Seeker

 The American Spectator  

"When governments minimize the social consequences of their policies and instead appear more eager to police public anger, they should not be surprised when trust collapses."

The Irish Times

"In Belfast, a video of a man brutally slashing and stabbing another man’s head andface went viral Monday night, sparking a wave of anti-immigration protests and riots Tuesday. 

"Authorities identified the suspect as Hadi Alodid, a Sudanese national granted asylum in Northern Ireland in 2023. His victim, Stephen Ogilvie, lost his left eye in what has been described as a “near-beheading” due to the severity of the cuts to his head. 

"The on-camera brutality of the attack spurred hundreds to take to the streets, first in protest but soon in violent rioting. Crowds of rioters hijacked vehicles, set fire to houses and cars, and targeted individuals in their community known or believed to be foreigners. In one area, hundreds of masked men walked the streets shouting “foreigners out” while kicking doors down, breaking windows, and burning cars. 

"The violence carried out by the rioters deserves utter condemnation. Burning out homes and terrorizing neighborhoods is not protest. People do not first put on masks to do these things unless they know their actions are reprehensible and criminal. Innocent families have lost their homes, cars, and livelihoods and entire neighborhoods are shell-shocked by the events of Tuesday. 

"Not all of the people who wished to protest did so violently. Two men in particular said they “were shocked [by the stabbing video]” and wanted only to show solidarity with the victim, not engage in rampant destruction.

"U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer condemned the violence and arson as “totally unjustified” and vowed to “ensure that justice is done” concerning those responsible. 

"But if the response from political leaders, however, is no deeper than rightly calling the riots “outright thuggery … nothing less than disgusting cowardice,” and “shameful and disgraceful,” they will miss the deeper systemic failure of European immigration policy that helped create the current situation.

"The sentiments that fuel these types of riots do not emerge in a vacuum. They have been building in Europe for years. Across Europe broadly, people feel that their leaders have lost control of immigration through their open-door policies. Polling done in 2025 found majorities in all seven countries, including the United Kingdom, France, and Germany, surveyed that immigration has been too high and that immigration had been bad for their country." .. More...
