Associate Editor, represent my opinion. I try not to be mean, but that violates X's terms of service.

The Shining Path (Peru) was one of history’s worst mass-murder movements. International communist support networks funneled funds and seeded propaganda on its behalf, including in the United States.

My favorite part of this is watching progressive women defend Platner. It really is perfect.

[Karol Markowicz @karol]

The Democrats have accepted that Graham Platner had a Nazi tattoo, roots for American military deaths, mocks rape victims, demeans rural Americans and is abusive to women. Is there any line they won’t cross? My column up now at @FoxNews https://t.co/nxZduMj8Rv

🚨UPDATE🚨

The judge told the media not to identify the current witness because he’s a minor.

This witness says Karmelo Anthony was asked at least 15 times to leave their tent—Anthony refused to leave.

The teen says no one ganged up on Karmelo.

Witness adds that Karmelo was provoking Austin.

Witness says Austin Metcalf pushed Karmelo but it wasn’t a hard push.

That’s when Karmelo pulled the knife from his book bag and stabbed Austin.

He adds, Karmelo tossed the weapon and ran off.

The 9-1-1 call placed by the witness was played.

They have constructed a reality in which white people are perpetrators of hate crimes, and minorities are the victims, always.

A Democrat in DC says she hates she’s forced to admit the Reflecting Pool now looks good.

“I thought it was a stupid idea to paint the Reflecting Pool, but it looks really good. It makes the reflection look extraordinarily prominent in a way it did not before, and I hate that.”

@DavidStrom This is what Gavin Newsom was talking about last week and why he wasn't worried. He couldn't come out and say it, but he clearly knew that there was no way the republican candidates were going to be allowed to win.

The right observes a pattern of electoral outcomes where, over and over, an R candidate appears to be winning before a D miraculously prevails after a long and opaque process of mail-in vote counting.

The right screams “FRAUD!” But is it really?

“Yes.” But also, “Sort of.”

OPINION: Lefty morality was made up this entire time. It never truly existed. BLM, DEI, MeToo. It was always just about seizing power, politically or otherwise. That’s why it can be sidelined the moment it gets in the way of power.

The New York Times dropped a much anticipated piece of reporting on Platner’s history of abusive actions and statements towards women just yesterday, and astute observers on our staff here instantly recognized it for what it was: A “catch and kill.”

At the center of the story is one named source, Lyndsey Fifield, a longtime communications operative in GOP politics.

Fifield alleges to the Times – again, fully on the record – that he abused her during an on-again-off-again relationship while Platner was a bartender in Washington, D.C. She provided diary entries and text message screenshots and even names of people who could corroborate Platner’s abuse.

You can read her fuller statement (in the link below) about how the Times played her, but in short, they made promises they ultimately didn’t keep about including other, corroborating witnesses. They set Fifield up to appear as if she were a plant. Any aggressive lefty reading the copy would immediately make that connection without much help.

If you read The New York Times article with suspended partisanship, it’s clear the man is deeply flawed in nearly all the ways that used to be radioactive for liberals. He’s abusive toward women, allegedly even physically, and narcissistic to the extreme. He’s too online in exactly the kind of way liberals perennially accused the right of pipelining extremism. Under his Reddit handle, he rejoiced in the deaths of American servicemen.

He even bragged to people that if a man ever broke into his home, he’d rape the guy, but “not in a gay way.”
So he dropped a “no homo,” lol.

If Kavanaugh had a Nazi tattoo and a history of shitposting about rape and killing I might have taken Blasey Ford's account more seriously.

To act like these situations are equivalent is sophistry.

A certain type of pundit is going to spend all their time the next couple years hand waving that Jews pulling the strings are behind everything.

The fact is that Platner is a chaotic trust fund failson and as is the case with such people, his personal life is a mess.

Platner’s anti-Zionist oinking is now a generic feature of lib politics that is no longer transgressive and to pretend it is is a tired conceit.

The problem with Platner is that they tried to market him as a likable working- class regional authenticity. But the reality is that he’s a back-sheep misfire from an accomplished family who has had schizo politics and an unformed adult life and as is the case with such people they’re less likable when you get a close look at them.

Elevating Platner was a failure of Dem politics from the get go and libs have no one to blame for this electoral malpractice besides themselves.
