@ThomGallagher27 @LanceLeask Good morning sir!

“He said this a lot: If anybody ever broke in here, I would rape them," but not in a sexual or "gay" way, Fifield said, adding that Platner stated he would want to instead impose dominance over them through penetration and that he believed rape was about power.”

So a Nazi tattoo wasn’t enough.

Racist comments weren’t enough.

Misogynistic comments weren’t enough.

Masturbating in porto potties wasn’t enough.

Cheating on your wife via sexting wasn’t enough.

Could rape fantasies be enough to finally denounce this depraved fool?

I understand Democrats are struggling to win back male voters, but this can’t seriously be their strategy. How little must they think of men to believe this is the person who appeals to them?

Ironically, when Democrats talk about “toxic masculinity,” this is exactly the kind of behavior they’re supposedly condemning.

They claim they don’t know what a woman is. Judging by this, they don’t know what a man is either.

A man takes responsibility. A man shows self-control. A man treats others with dignity and respect.

This isn’t a man. It’s a coward. Plain and simple.

I wish the Maine Democrats could just be honest and say: “I hate Republicans so much that I’m willing to vote for a racist, Nazi-sympathizing, misogynistic, rape-fantasizing and public-masturbating fool.” At least that would be more honest than watching people twist themselves into pretzels trying to defend the indefensible.

Just own it.

Maine is joining NY & other blue states in suing Trump for killing an offshore wind boondoggle. What a joke.

Biden propped up the “green” fantasy with massive subsidies, mandates, and taxpayer handouts. Without them? LCOE numbers collapse—offshore wind is wildly expensive, intermittent, and unreliable.

The LCOE formula they love to cite is rigged & false—it ignores massive hidden costs that drive up the true price: intermittency (wind doesn’t blow on demand), backup gas plants running anyway, grid upgrades, transmission lines, curtailment, and system integration. Add those in and offshore wind’s “cheap” claim collapses. Real total costs soar well above reliable baseload power.

The reality of renewables is hitting hard now. The Trump administration paying to cancel these projects exposes the lie. But admitting wind/solar can’t replace baseload power without distorting markets would shatter the narrative. So they sue instead.

Cognitive dissonance on full display: “Renewables are cheaper!” (only with your money forcing it).

Energy poverty incoming if they win.

Reliable, affordable power > virtue-signaling turbines that kill whales, raise bills, and need backups anyway.

Time to prioritize American energy dominance over the green grift.

June is Life Month

June is a time to reaffirm a simple but profound truth: every human life has value, purpose, and dignity.

The overturning of Roe v. Wade was a historic step toward recognizing that the most basic human right is the right to life. Without life, there can be no liberty. Without life, there can be no freedom of speech, freedom of religion, equal protection, or any other right we cherish. If the right to life is denied, every other right becomes meaningless.

A just society is measured by how it protects the most vulnerable. The preborn have no voice of their own, and we must never stop speaking for them. Every child is more than a choice, more than a statistic, more than a circumstance—they are a unique human life, worthy of love, protection, and opportunity.

This Life Month, let us renew our commitment to defending life at every stage, supporting mothers and families, and building a culture that recognizes the God-given dignity of every person.

Because if there is no right to life, there are no other rights.

Unbelievable. Bucksport, Maine’s regulatory review committee unanimously tabled (3-0) a proposal to start council meetings with the Pledge of Allegiance.

Deputy Mayor Mark Eastman: “I just worry that this will become divisive.”

Councilor Teri Doty: “We want to show our patriotism to the flag and I don’t think it would be divisive.” “But it’s the American flag; it’s where we live.”

In a small Maine town, they can’t even bring themselves to pledge allegiance to the country they serve. If saying the Pledge feels too divisive… maybe public office isn’t for you.

Another Slap in the Face to Maine Families

Governor Janet Mills and Maine Democrats keep saying no to relief that would make life more affordable for working people.

• No conformity with federal no tax on tips.
• No conformity with federal no tax on overtime.
• And now, silence on opting into the federal Educational Choice for Children Act (EFTC) launching January 1, 2027.

Here’s what opting out of EFTC really means:
• Opt In: Maine families (most households up to 300% of area median income) qualify for scholarships. Donors get a dollar-for-dollar federal tax credit up to $1,700 — and every dollar stays in Maine to help local kids access better education options.

• Opt Out: No Maine student gets a scholarship. Maine donors can still claim the tax credit — but the money funds kids in other states. Our families get nothing.

Even New York’s Democratic Governor Kathy Hochul has opted in and delivered this opportunity to her residents. Yet Maine Democrats continue choosing higher costs and fewer options for our families.

Why do they want to make life harder and more unaffordable?

Governor Mills is term-limited. This November, Maine voters have a clear choice: Stick with the same leadership that keeps rejecting tax relief, overtime protection, and education freedom — or elect Republican leaders who will finally put Maine families first.

This November, vote Republican up and down the ballot so our tax credits, opportunities, and dollars work for Maine kids — not someone else’s.

Maine families have had enough. It’s time for real change.

ENDORSEMENT ALERT 🚨

Bad news, everyone.

The Maine People's Alliance has given me a -60 rating.

Apparently voting against higher electric bills, climate virtue-signaling, government overreach, and policies that make life more expensive for working Mainers isn't earning me any points with the activist class, professional lobbyists, special interest groups, and partisan political operatives.

It's always nice when the people pushing those ideas confirm you're doing the exact opposite.

My heart is absolutely shattered... or at least it would be if I cared what they thought.

Actually, no. Keep the score coming.

Happy Sunday!

“…transition meant we’re going to move from one form of energy to another. And the transition was always a fantasy, even stronger. You could call it a lie, because if you’re going to go from affordable, reliable, and secure energy to intermittent, weather-dependent, foreign-sourced, it was not reliable, not dependable, not affordable, and not secure,” Burgum explained…”

🚨 Trump’s DOJ is suing Maine and other blue states for refusing undercover license plates to federal ICE agents.

Democrats don’t support the police — they support chaos and open borders.

They’re obstructing agents fighting fentanyl trafficking, human smuggling rings, and rescuing missing kids — all for political games and sanctuary policies.

This isn’t “resistance.” It’s outright sabotage of the Rule of Law. They pick and choose which laws get enforced and which cops get the tools they need.

Real Back the Blue means supporting ALL law enforcement, not just the ones that fit their narrative. This hypocrisy gets good people hurt.

Mark your calendars!

This is a statement from Graham Stevens, chief of Connecticut’s Department of Energy and Environmental Protections (DEEP), Bureau of Water Protection and Land Reuse.

This is why I introduced LD 451, “An Act to Require Testing of Solar and Wind Energy Developments for Perfluoroalkyl and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances Contamination.” This bill would have required solar and wind projects to test for PFAS contamination under rules set by the Maine DEP.

Wouldn’t you know it that the Maine Democrats killed this bill?

And would you be shocked to also know that Maine exempted all wind and solar from our stringent PFAS testing laws?

Do you now understand why they wouldn’t pass my bill and have accountability? They are destroying our state inside and out.

[Reagan Paul @RepReaganPaul]

⚡️Right now at 6:48 pm on May 27th, 2026:

ALL of the solar panels in ALL of New England are contributing only 1% of the power to our grid.

Or in other words — only 167 MW of the current system demand of 16,757 MW.

Wind: 5.2%
Refuse: 1.7%
Wood: 1.0%
Landfill gas: 0.2%
Net Imports: 12%
Hydro: 16%

Once again, it is natural gas at 40% and nuclear at 20% keeping our lights on.

What does the UN retiring RCP 8.5, admitting its “worst-case climate scenario” was wrong, have to do with Maine and our aggressive renewable energy push?

Turns out A LOT. Let me explain.
RCP 8.5 was the famous high-emissions pathway that projected extremely large warming by 2100 if fossil fuel use kept accelerating. It became the blueprint for extremist climate research, media coverage, and policy modeling.

RCP 8.5 became deeply embedded in sea level rise projections, economic damage estimates, biodiversity collapse modeling, disaster projections, and aggressive decarbonization arguments.

In 2019, when Governor Janet Mills signed major climate and energy bills—including the creation of the Maine Climate Council and the big expansion of Maine’s Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS)—politicians clapped happily, knowing the “green grift” would convince Mainers that we must rush into big solar and wind if we were to avoid a “climate catastrophe” justified by RCP 8.5.

Even in 2019, some mainstream climate scientists had been warning for years that RCP 8.5 was being overused as a default assumption rather than treated as an upper-bound stress test.

Our leaders didn’t care. Those 2019 laws set Maine up for one of the most aggressive renewable mandates in the country—80% renewable electricity by 2030 and 100% by 2050-built on catastrophic-end modeling.

One result? Fast-tracked renewable energy siting that prioritizes corporate solar and wind projects across the state, often in rural areas, with incentives, credits, and streamlined permitting that benefit developers (including foreign corporations) while ratepayers and taxpayers foot the bill.

They convinced everyone this was a “necessary evil” because of RCP 8.5.
Maine built extremely aggressively policy targets around worst-case modeling that scientists last week have concretely admitted were WRONG. (And now Maine has accelerated the plan even further to 90% renewable + 10% clean energy for 100% clean by 2040.)

Everyone behind the 2019 climate and energy package should be held accountable, investigated, and audited to the fullest extent of the law.

Now that the UN is admitting RCP 8.5 is wrong, will Maine throw out or seriously reform its 100% clean energy mandates and Renewable Portfolio Standard? It’s time to pause the rush, reassess the Maine Climate Council’s agenda, and acknowledge that destructive policies were passed on nothing but virtue-signaling and kickbacks.

Rural Mainers, our environment, our wildlife, and our forests are paying the price with industrial-scale solar and wind developments fragmenting habitats and altering the landscape.

It’s time to kill these reckless
mandates before they destroy what’s left of Maine.

‼️BREAKING‼️

Shenna Bellows has cleared the way for males to gain access to girls' bathrooms and locker rooms in Maine schools.

“The Superior Court will either uphold Bellows’ decision, remand it for further consideration, or overturn her decision and place the petition on the ballot.”

We get what Maine Democrats incentivize.

This is not what “compassion” looks like.

And don’t forget that wind turbines must be replaced 4-5 times over the 60-to-80-year lifespan of a typical nuclear power plant.
