Black pilot, West Point graduate, and combat veteran Wesley Hunt delivered a masterclass response:
“Hey Jasmine… Black pilot here.
I graduated from West Point. I went through Army flight school. I learned to fly the AH-64 Apache. I deployed to combat and flew 55 combat missions over Baghdad.
Nobody handed me a cockpit because of my skin color. Nobody lowered the standards for me.
Suggesting that Black pilots, engineers, doctors, or leaders need special preferences to succeed is not empowering, it’s insulting.
I didn’t want a different standard. I wanted the same standard.”
He ended with a powerful line:
“Merit isn’t racist. Excellence isn’t discriminatory. And reducing every achievement to skin color says far more about your worldview than it does about mine.”
This is the kind of clarity and backbone America needs right now.
@EricLDaugh Susan has fought for Maine lobstering by taking on NOAA & whale regulations. NOAA was silent on offshore windmills & whales washing up on beaches. She passed legislation for State employees to be able to draw Social Security w/out a windfall provision. Union never accomplished!

@EndWokeness@Trumplicanchic1 Jasmine Crockett can lie all she wants. Karmelo was & is a degenerate murderer who would have killed someone else eventually because he fantasized about murder.. Austin was a brilliant & talented young man & he is worth 10,000 Karmelos! @StealthMedical1@Rightanglenews RETWEET
Mohamud "Portland Man" charged with drug trafficking out of his Kensington Street home in Portland.
*We added his photo to the BDN article. They purposely left out the foreigner's photo, despite it being easy to find.
Fun fact: ICE doesn’t just do immigration. They are also the agents in charge of investigating CSAM and child sex crimes, a lot of which involve Kik, the app Platner liked to sext girls on.
Statement from the Collins campaign following Graham Platner's primary victory speech:
“Mainers aren't looking for bitter campaigns, grand promises, or angry speeches riddled with lies. They're looking for results. They want affordable health care, safe communities, good-paying jobs, strong schools, and someone who will show up and do the work.
That's why Senator Susan Collins continues to earn the support of Republicans, Democrats, and independents across Maine. While others talk about revolution and division, Susan Collins is delivering for Maine communities by funding rural hospitals, supporting our shipbuilders and fishermen, improving infrastructure, expanding broadband, and strengthening public safety.
Maine people are practical. They care about whether their communities are stronger and their families are better off. That's exactly what Susan Collins is focused on every single day."
For years, hospitals kept Americans in the dark about the true cost of care. Families made medical decisions without knowing the price—and too often got hit with bills that drained their savings.
That ends now.
Under President Trump’s leadership, HHS is enforcing hospital price transparency with real consequences. @DrOzCMS and I have a simple message for hospitals: Post your actual prices. Come into compliance immediately—or face serious consequences.
Outside the Langley Estate in McLean, VA, which sold this year for $13.5 million.
The seller, Joseph Kaempfer, is a billionaire who made his fortune operating shopping malls in Europe.
He's one of the MANY billionaires maxing out to support Graham Platner.
@17QStorm New arrivals (whatever) need to work 20 quarters. Americans have to work 40 quarters! 20 quarters = 10 years! New "whatevers" should not be entitled to any benefits for first 10 yrs. I can't retire & get SSR until age 67! SSR would be drastically reduce if I claim b4 age 67!
I can't believe I'm saying this, but Susan Collins is our path forward.
We have 50 votes.
End the filibuster. Secure our elections.
Leader Thune not on board? Get a new leader.

🚨SENATOR JOHN KENNEDY: "It strikes me as breathtakingly ironic that that the people who are screaming so loudly about President Trump's decision to audit federal spending, are the very same people who wanted to hire 80,000 new IRS agents with guns to audit the American people."
"I've had a lot of ridiculous moments up here in Augusta, this might be the best."
Ahead of today's election, we went to the governors', AGs', and Secretary of State's offices.
None would provide answers to simple matters of public concern:
🚨For those who say there is NO election fraud in California:
The DOJ just prosecuted Brenda Brown for paying homeless people to register to vote under FALSE addresses.
OMG caught her on hidden camera doing this illegal activity in LA.
Because the evidence will show that the Russians, Chinese, Iranians, & Muslim Brotherhood are actively trying to kill the President through proxies and then no one will be financing your ugly mug anymore.
Let the @WhiteHouse reveal the evidence and we end up in nuclear war you retard with ugly man hands.
