looking out over where we grew up together. theres truly nothing stronger than a brothers bond

Meet Graham Platner:

Every military unit has one. Graham’s the living legend of every squad bay from Ramadi to wherever the hell else he rotated through.

While the rest of the platoon was wiring money home to the wife, fixing the truck, or pretending to save for that mythical “house,” Platner was the guy who treated his entire paycheck like a two-day liberty pass in Bangkok.

First and fifteenth? Straight to the ATM, then straight to the bar. Beers for the whole damn platoon (until the tab hit four figures), followed by the kind of “romantic investments” that left him broke, hungover, and explaining to the First Sergeant why his dress blues smelled like regret and regret’s cheaper cousin.

Other Marines came home with stories of valor. Graham came home with stories, a new tattoo he “doesn’t remember getting,” and the financial stability of a Somali pirate on shore leave.

Now he’s running for Senate as the working man’s champion.

Brother, the only thing you’ve ever championed is happy hour and poor decisions. The oyster farm must be doing real well to launder all those years of “supporting local talent.”

Semper Fi, you magnificent degenerate. Just don’t check your campaign finance reports for “entertainment expenses.”

.@SECWAR “In the Indian Ocean—an American submarine sunk an Iranian warship, that thought it was safe in international waters.

Instead, it was sunk by a torpedo—Quiet Death.

The first sinking of an enemy ship by a torpedo since World War 2. Like in that war—back when we were still the War Department—we are fighting to win."

I fought cartels and protected Americans as a Naval Intelligence Officer.

Now, I’m fighting for Maine, the state I love and call home.

⚡️After billions of dollars wasted, right now during peak usage at 8:25 am on October 24th, 2025:

ALL the wind turbines in ALL of New England are contributing only 1.08 % of the power to our grid.

Or in other words - only 139 MW of the current system demand of 12,482 MW.

(For context, refuse is contributing 2.46% of the power to the grid.)

Solar is contributing only 1.32% of the power to our grid.

Once again, it is natural gas at 71% and nuclear at 17% keeping our lights on.

A cultural revolution has begun.

The future belongs to us.

Yes, @newscentermaine Refused To Cover Charlie Kirk Vigil In Portland Maine - Despite being 3 blocks away.

They knew about the event & refused. Never forget.

[Robert Sterling @RobertMSterling]

(Warning: long rant)

My liberal friends are completely oblivious about how radicalizing the last week has been for tens of millions of normal Americans. Zero clue.

I’m not talking about people who are “online”; I mean regular, everyday Americans. “Normies.” People who scroll through Facebook posts and Instagram reels from the Dutch Bros drive thru line. Political moderates who have water cooler chats about Mahomes touchdowns and Bon Jovi concerts, not Twitter threads or Rachel Maddow monologues.

Millions of them. Tens of millions. They’re logging on, they’re engaging, and they’re furious.

And I’ll be candid: They blame you guys. They blame the left.

Regardless of whether you believe it to be justified, they think you’re the bad guys here. And they are reacting accordingly.

I can already hear some of you racing toward the comments to start screeching in moral indignation, so I’m going to be blunt: Shut up and listen to what I’m telling you. Your movement will lose any semblance of relevance if you don’t develop some small measure of self-awareness, and—absent someone force-feeding you bitter medicine—you guys collectively lack the humility to do this on your own.

Here are the facts:

Fact 1. Tens of millions of Americans started the week seeing a 23-year-old blonde woman—a young woman in whom virtually every parent watching pictured their own daughter—stabbed in the neck by a career criminal. These people then found out the murderer had been released from jail 14 times over.

Fact 2. Two days later, tens of millions of Americans watched a video of Charlie Kirk get murdered speaking to college students. Millions of these people knew who Charlie was; millions of them didn’t. Upon seeing the video, however, these normal Americans from across the land and across the political spectrum agreed that he was the victim of a terrible, fundamentally unjustifiable crime, and their hearts broke in sympathy for his family. Good people who had never even heard the name Charlie Kirk before wept.

Fact 3. Immediately after seeing the footage of a peaceful young man get shot in the neck, these same people logged onto Facebook and Instagram (remember, we are talking about regular Americans, not perpetually online Twitter or Bluesky users) and saw some of their local nurses, school teachers, college administrators, and retail workers celebrating this horrific crime. Not just defending it, but cheering it.

These are all facts. You may not like the implications of these facts, and we can certainly debate the underlying causes thereof, but, indisputably, they are nevertheless factual statements.

Here’s what it means for you, the Democrats reading this:

These normal, middle-of-the-road, non-political citizens just become politically active. They realized that politics cares about them, even if they don’t particularly care about politics. After watching Iryna Zarutska and Charlie Kirk both bleed out from the neck, they think their lives and the physical safety of their families—the bedrock of human society, the foundation of Maslow’s hierarchy of needs—depend on political activation, whether they desire it or not.

These people are now sprinting—not jogging, not walking, but racing—to the right. Because they blame you guys for everything that just happened.

When they see footage of Decarlos Brown stabbing a Ukrainian refugee to death, they don’t see just one demon-possessed man. They picture every university administrator, HR bureaucrat, and DEI apparatchik that ever lectured them about systemic racism, the “carceral state,” or the need to release violent crime suspects without bail in the name of social justice.

They then think back to conversations they’ve had with their cop friends—their buddy from high school who quit the force after getting tired of being called a racist, their friend at the local YMCA who vents about having to release career criminals because Soros-funded prosecutors aren’t willing to file charges—and they realize everything the left has told them over the last five years has been utter bullshit.

And they blame you. Because, even if you count yourself as a moderate Democrat, your party supported the district attorneys, city council members, and mayors that let fictitious concerns about mental health and racial justice supersede very real concerns for their family’s safety.

When these Americans see blood erupt from the side of Charlie Kirk’s neck, they don’t see just a martyred political activist. They think of every extreme leftist they’ve ever met who (1) calls anyone to the right of Hillary Clinton a fascist and (2) constantly jokes—“jokes”—about punching Nazis and “bashing the fash.”

They realize that there really do exist people who wish to see them dead for their moderately conservative political beliefs, their Christian faith, and even the color of their skin. They ask themselves if the violence visited upon Charlie might one day show up on their own doorstep.

And they blame you. Because, even if you’re just a center-of-the-road liberal, you lacked the courage to police your own ranks. You let modern-day Maoist red guards run loose across every facet of society, and what started with social-media struggle sessions has now turned to 30-06 bullet holes.

When these Americans log onto social media and see their neighbors justifying, celebrating, glorifying murder, they realize that some who walk among them are soulless ghouls at best, literally demon-possessed at worst. These people—whether they faithfully attend church every Sunday or only attend with relatives once a year, on Christmas Eve—start talking about things like spiritual warfare. They implicitly understand that no normal human casually celebrates the mortal demise of a peaceful person.

And they blame you. Because, even if you condemned Charlie Kirk’s murder, they probably haven’t seen you condemn those in your own movement who cheered it on. They view you as complicit in allowing heartless fellow travelers to celebrate death, and it repulses them.

For all of these situations, what has your response been? Nothing but bullshit.

In response to Iryna Zarutska bleeding out on the floor of a train, you post bullshit statistics about reductions in reported crime, when everyone who’s ever been to a major urban center in the last decade knows that actual crime has skyrocketed, only for victims not to waste their time reporting it to cops that don’t have the manpower to respond and prosecutors that seek to downgrade as many felonies as possible to misdemeanor citations.

In response to a 31-year-old man taking a bullet to the neck in front of his family, you post nothing but bullshit whataboutism.

> “What about January 6th?” (Honest answer: After you let Liz Cheney spend two years operating a star chamber in the House, combined with countless other failed attempts at “lawfare” against Trump, no one cares anymore.)

> “What about Mike Lee making a dumb joke on Twitter about some guy in a mask in Minnesota?” (No one outside of Utah, DC, or Twitter knows who Mike Lee even is.)

> “What about Paul Pelosi?” (That’s not comparable to Charlie Kirk getting shot, and we all know it. And, again, Paul who?)

> “What about regulations on assault rifles?” (That’s not going to get you very far when one of these killers used a knife and the other one used a common hunting rifle.)

In response to teachers, healthcare workers, and thousands of other liberals cheering on Charlie’s murder, it’s nothing but more bullshit and misdirection.

> “It’s not THAT many people celebrating!” (Yes, it is. Everyone has seen it on their Facebook and Instagram feeds.)

> “I thought you guys didn’t support cancel culture.” (We don’t cancel people over their opinions; we’re more than happy to see people lose their jobs—especially their taxpayer-funded jobs—for actively cheering on murder, though. If you can’t see the difference, that’s your own shortcoming.)

All bullshit. Not even smart bullshit, but stale, mid-grade, low-IQ bullshit. Ordinary Americans see right through it, and they don’t like how it smells.

You probably don’t like hearing this. But you need to hear it.

Because I’m right, and, as you reflect on this, you know I’m right. The ranks of my political movement gained millions of righteously angry new members this week. We have a mandate to ensure these crimes never happen again, and that’s exactly what we are now going to do.

If you want to keep a seat at the table as we do so, you’d better clean house and start policing your own.

[The Maine Wire @TheMaineWire]

A powerful message from Charlie Kirk on saving Maine:

[James Woods @RealJamesWoods]

It’s impossible to admire Elon musk more than we do now.

[Dave Portnoy @stoolpresidente]

RIP Charlie Kirk. It doesn’t matter what your opinion is of Charlie or his politics if you don’t view this as one of the darkest days in American history than you are part of the problem.

[Charlie Kirk @charliekirk11]

Get married, have kids, and stop partying into oblivion.

Leave a legacy, be courageous.

Happy Sunday

God Bless all the parents out there

🙏

[James Woods @RealJamesWoods]

This is what they destroyed today. I am so heartbroken, I can’t speak.

[James Woods @RealJamesWoods]

It’s not gun violence. It’s Democrat violence.

[Paul LePage @MainePaulLePage]

Praying for Charlie Kirk and his family right now. The violence must stop.

[Steve Robinson @SteveRob]

Just 12 days ago three Dominican narco-terrorists (Trinitarios) opened fire on local Maine cops.

The story has all but disappeared. Nothing from our politicians. Nothing from the gun control people. No updates.

Feels like foreign gangbangers trying to gun down American cops should be more than a 30 second blurb on the TV news.

[Paul LePage @MainePaulLePage]

PORTLAND WANTS MILLIONS FROM TAXPAYERS WHILE REFUSING TO RECOGNIZE OUR FEDERAL IMMIGRATION LAWS. Portland has been taking dramatic amounts of cash from Maine taxpayers for years to fund big welfare programs. Now they want millions more federal dollars while refusing to help the federal government enforce our nation's immigration laws. We are a nation of immigrants. As the son of a Franco-American family from Lewiston I understand this well. But, illegal is illegal. Already this year an illegal immigrant gang member and those wanted for serious crimes have been arrested right in Maine. We cannot ignore these problems in Maine. #mepolitics

This is an EPIC reminder of American air superiority for Putin to witness up close and personal.
