How Long Will Democrats Keep Defending Platner? "Their defense of this creepy character reveals how much control the far left has over the party."

 The American Spectator   

. . . "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,”

"To get a sense of how bereft the Democrats are of genuine principles, a good place to start is their defense of Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner. This is the “oyster farmer” they hope can unseat five-term Republican Senator Susan Collins in November. And, in that cause, they are willing to overlook a lot of controversies surrounding Platner. Among these is the tattoo of a Totenkopf, the insignia of the Nazi SS, which he sported on his chest for 18 years. 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.” 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. 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!” After extensive write-ups appeared in the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal about Platner’s sexual antics, he posted what amounts to a hostage video of his wife defending him on X: “I’m feeling angry today and I don’t normally make public statements, but it’s really important for me to tell all of you out there, especially people who are voting in Maine, that I think it’s shameful behavior"...    More...

Joe Biden crashes Jill’s book talk, steals spotlight to ask whom she loves the most in incredibly cringey moment

 NY Post   

"In an attempt to end the bizarre moment and wrap up the event, Goldberg encouraged the audience to purchase Jill’s new book. But Biden remained standing and pointed his finger as the exit music played."

"Former President Joe Biden crashed his wife Jill’s debut book talk Tuesday, stealing her spotlight to bizarrely ask the former first lady whom she loves the most in a cringe-inducing moment before aides could cut him off.

"Jill Biden had been wrapping up a Q&A about her newly released book, “A View from the East Wing,” with moderator Whoopi Goldberg at the 92nd Street Y on the Upper East Side when Biden, 83, left his seat in the audience and wandered up to the edge of the stage.

"Goldberg had read a comment from the audience thanking Biden for his service, and Jill, 75, stood up to give her husband a standing ovation when the ex-president’s seemingly unplanned speech began.

“I have a question,” Biden said unprompted, and without a microphone, while flanked by security guards.

“Joe has a question, like you couldn’t ask it later?” Jill responded." . . .  More...

Almost 40% of Democrats Support Hamas over Israel

 The party that cannot define a Nazi, nor cannot recognize evil when it fills the streets and classrooms.

Joseph Ford Cotto  

"America cannot afford to indulge this ideological cancer. That would betray everything that makes this country worth defending. Needless to say, this midterm season, please do not vote blue no matter who."

Recent polling, conducted by the venerable Harris organization for Harvard University, reveals a stark and troubling fault line across American public opinion.

In the Israel-Hamas conflict, more than seven in 10 Americans stand with Israel, with the strongest backing coming from older citizens and Republican voters. Yet among Democrats, support for Hamas reaches a disturbing 36 percent. For young adults aged 18 to 24, 54% actually side with Hamas over Israel.

This is not a minor disagreement. It represents a serious national emergency.

Nearly four in 10 Democrats aligning with a terrorist group against the Middle East’s only thriving democracy signals something rotten at the core of today’s progressive movement. The hatred directed at Israel serves as a stand-in for broader resentment toward the values that built American strength: self-reliance, innovation, Western heritage, and the right of a free people to defend themselves.

That these free people are generally white, and fighting to preserve a first-world nation built by pioneers, further enrages leftists.

The evidence of this is overwhelming.

Since the horrors of October 7, 2023, antisemitic incidents have exploded across the United States. The Anti-Defamation League recorded a record 9,354 incidents in 2024, up from the already shocking total the year before. A majority of these involved anti-Israel or anti-Zionist elements, many tied directly to rallies organized by groups like Students for Justice in Palestine and the Party for Socialism and Liberation.

Campus incidents alone jumped 84 percent, turning universities into hostile environments for Jewish students.

Democrat Adam Hamawy wins NJ House primary after volunteering with Al Qaeda-linked group  . . . "Hamawy — a staunch critic of Israel who was endorsed by “Squad” Reps. Ro Khanna (D-Calif.), Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.), Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), and Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.), as well as socialist Sen.

Victor Davis Hanson: The Selective Outrage and Hypocrisy of Antisemitism

"The global Left’s relentless obsession with condemning Israel completely vanishes when actual ethnic cleansing and brutal massacres occur across the rest of the world. " From the historical atrocities of the French in Chad to the modern-day actions of Turkey and Iran, the international community consistently ignores massive human rights abuses to focus entirely on one tiny nation. "This rampant double standard on American college campuses and within the halls of Congress exposes a deep-seated hypocrisy that defines modern anti-Semitism, argues Victor Davis Hanson on today’s edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In a Few Words.”
