@MichaelARothman It's always the white liberal/progressive fanatics who are the most racist pieces of excrement on the face of the earth. No shame and zero self-awareness.

The Maine Senate race just got very ugly — and none of it is on Susan Collins.

Reporters tracked down Democrat Graham Platner and hit him with every scandal in his closet, on camera, one after another. The man 𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝𝐧’𝐭 𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐰𝐞𝐫 𝐚 𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐥𝐞 𝐪𝐮𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧.

“𝘎𝘳𝘢𝘩𝘢𝘮 𝘗𝘭𝘢𝘵𝘯𝘦𝘳, 𝘸𝘩𝘺 𝘸𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘰𝘯 𝘢 𝘬!𝘥𝘴’ 𝘴𝘦𝘹 𝘢𝘱𝘱? 𝘎𝘳𝘢𝘩𝘢𝘮 𝘗𝘭𝘢𝘵𝘯𝘦𝘳, 𝘸𝘩𝘺 𝘥𝘪𝘥 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘤𝘩𝘦𝘢𝘵 𝘰𝘯 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘸𝘪𝘧𝘦? 𝘋𝘰 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘬 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘸𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘯 𝘸𝘩𝘰 𝘨𝘰𝘵 𝘴𝘦𝘹𝘶𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 𝘢𝘴𝘴𝘢𝘶𝘭𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝘥𝘦𝘴𝘦𝘳𝘷𝘦 𝘪𝘵?”

It escalated fast. Reporters pressed him on using Kick — an app 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘮𝘰𝘯𝘭𝘺 𝘶𝘴𝘦𝘥 𝘣𝘺 𝘱∗𝘥𝘰𝘱𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘦𝘴 — and asked whether he stands by remarks that a 𝐰𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐝 𝐀𝐦𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐬𝐨𝐥𝐝𝐢𝐞𝐫 𝐝𝐢𝐝𝐧’𝐭 𝐝𝐞𝐬𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐥𝐢𝐯𝐞. Platner said nothing.

Then came the Nazi tattoo: “𝘏𝘰𝘸 𝘤𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘬𝘯𝘰𝘸𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘵𝘢𝘵𝘵𝘰𝘰 𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘳𝘦𝘭𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝘵𝘰 𝘕𝘢𝘻𝘪𝘴?” No response.

And for the mic-drop moment: reporters asked Platner whether he still has to masturbate when he sees porta-potties. He couldn’t even muster a denial.

Meanwhile, a fresh Quantus Insights poll (June 9-11, N=870 LV) shows the race has flipped from a comfortable Platner lead to a true dead heat: Collins 45%, Platner 46% — Collins up 3, Platner down 3. 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐜𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐚𝐥 𝐭𝐨𝐥𝐥 𝐢𝐬 𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐰𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐮𝐩 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐧𝐮𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐫𝐬.

Trump himself confirmed Collins must win. With Platner’s record going viral, Maine voters now know exactly who they’re being asked to elect.

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐜𝐚𝐦𝐞𝐫𝐚 𝐝𝐨𝐞𝐬𝐧’𝐭 𝐥𝐢𝐞. 𝐍𝐞𝐢𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐝𝐨𝐞𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐩𝐨𝐥𝐥.

You know what I’ve been thinking about? There are far more racist people in this country than I ever realized.

I have been blown away watching people celebrate the death of a White teenage boy simply because the person who killed him was Black.

This teenager was not on drugs. He was not a troublemaker.

He had never committed a crime.

He played sports, made good grades, respected his parents, and was loved by so many people.

Yet some people have found joy in his death because they care more about race than right and wrong.

That is not justice. That is racism, hatred, and pure evil.

A teenage boy lost his life. Anyone celebrating that should be ashamed.

This is Gaza on a regular day.

A huge crowd packs the street while Hamas fighters walk around openly with rifles and heavy weapons. People are cheering, filming on their phones, and one guy even fires an RPG right there in the middle of it all. Smoke everywhere, everyone celebrating.

These are the same “innocent civilians” we keep hearing about. They’re not hiding from Hamas. They’re cheering them on.

A wise man once said, if you want to hate America, watch the news. If you want to love America, drive across it.

These European World Cup tourists are experiencing the REAL America for the first time: not New York City or LA, but middle America and all its hospitality. 🇺🇸

💥NEW: Stephen A. Smith: “I would give anything to be able to say something definitively in Karmelo Anthony’s defense. If there was a shred of innocence to the incident itself, I would say so. I don’t want to see another black young man going to jail.”

“But I don’t give a d*mn about what your race or ethnicity is. Just because you’re white and young doesn’t mean you deserve to be m*rdered. And just because you’re black and young … doesn’t give you a license to m*rder someone.”

“That’s what happened.”

@The_Hankerchief Freddy the German rolled up to Waffle House at 1am & apparently had a blast. Some can handle it, some won't. Either way, it'll be a learning experience. Don't discourage learning!

“Jewish women are too ugly to be raped, maybe with a condom.”

This is what this vile woman with the terror flag decided to say when she saw a sign that says “rape is not resistance.”

These people are truly evil. I feel sick.

[Imtiaz Mahmood @ImtiazMadmood]

When Muhammad first presented the Quran to the Jews and Christians,They laughed at him!

They recognized the stories Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses, Jesus as recycled versions of their own ancient scriptures, just twisted and repackaged with new rules to suit 7th-century Arabia.

And that’s exactly what critics have been saying for 1400 years. The Quran isn’t some miraculous new revelation it’s a remix of Jewish and Christian stories mixed with local pagan beliefs, full of scientific errors, moral contradictions, and commands that haven’t aged well.

The early People of the Book laughed because they saw through it. Today, millions are still laughing... or quietly walking away once they actually read it.
Truth hurts, but facts don’t care about feelings.

[Right Angle News Network @Rightanglenews]

The Muslim majority council of the town of Harrow in the UK has begun hiring Muslim morality police they call “civil enforcement officers” to accost, fine, and harass native British people.

Ladies and Gentlemen does this seem peaceful?

[Brivael Le Pogam @brivael]

Je vais partir du principe que tu es de bonne foi, parce que ton raisonnement est intuitif et que 90% des gens le partagent. Mais il repose sur trois erreurs factuelles, et ça vaut le coup de les regarder calmement.

Erreur 1 : la fortune d'Elon n'est pas un tas d'argent. C'est de la propriété d'usines, de fusées et de satellites. "Prendre la moitié de sa tune", concrètement, ça veut dire forcer la vente de la moitié de SpaceX et Tesla. L'argent ne sort pas d'un coffre, il sort des entreprises elles-mêmes, qui passent sous contrôle de fonds étrangers ou d'États. Tu ne redistribues pas du cash, tu démantèles un outil de production. C'est la différence entre récolter des pommes et découper le pommier.

Erreur 2 : "ça résout énormément de problèmes dans le monde". Cette expérience a déjà été tentée, en vrai. En 2021, le directeur du Programme Alimentaire Mondial de l'ONU a affirmé que 6 milliards de Musk pouvaient "résoudre la faim dans le monde". Réponse d'Elon : décrivez-moi exactement comment, comptabilité publique à l'appui, et je vends mes actions Tesla immédiatement. Le PAM a publié son plan. Verdict : ce n'était pas "résoudre la faim", c'était nourrir 42 millions de personnes pendant un an. Un an. Puis il faut re-payer, pour toujours. Le PAM avait d'ailleurs levé 8,4 milliards l'année précédente, et la faim était toujours là. Les ONG traitent les symptômes en boucle, jamais les causes, parce que leur financement dépend de l'existence du problème.

Erreur 3, la plus importante : tu cherches ce qui sort vraiment les gens de la pauvreté. Bonne nouvelle, on a la réponse, et elle est massive. En 1990, 36% de l'humanité vivait dans l'extrême pauvreté. Aujourd'hui, moins de 9%. Plus d'un milliard de personnes sorties de la misère en 30 ans. Par quoi ? Pas par la charité ni par l'aide internationale (plus de 1 000 milliards versés à l'Afrique en 60 ans pour un résultat à peu près nul). Par l'ouverture des marchés, l'industrialisation, le commerce. La Chine seule a sorti 800 millions de personnes de la pauvreté en abandonnant le collectivisme, pas en taxant ses entrepreneurs.

Donc fais le calcul complet. Option A : tu confisques 500 milliards, tu finances quelques années de programmes, l'argent est consommé, et tu as détruit la machine qui produisait les fusées, les voitures électriques et l'internet des zones rurales. Option B : tu laisses le meilleur allocateur de capital de sa génération réinvestir 100% de sa fortune dans des industries qui baissent les coûts pour tout le monde et emploient des centaines de milliers de personnes. L'option A soulage ta morale pendant 18 mois. L'option B sort des populations entières de la pauvreté pour toujours.

La pauvreté ne se redistribue pas. Elle se résout par la création. C'est contre-intuitif, c'est frustrant, mais c'est ce que disent 200 ans de données.

Again for those in the back, Elon once offered to cut a check for $6 BILLION to the WFB to "eliminate World hunger" as they said the money could. His one condition was that the accounting was public.

They did not accept.

[Matt Goodwin @GoodwinMJ]

What’s living in the UK like? I’ll tell you. In the last week alone we have had to process:

-an attempted beheading by an illegal migrant from Sudan in Belfast
-while still trying to make sense of a boy, Henry Nowak, being stabbed to death while police were more anxious about allegations of “racism” than trying to save his life
-then we learn children in Scotland were assaulted by Bulgarians while the police didn’t believe them either
-while reading that a vulnerable 18-year-old was r*ped by an asylum-seeker from Pakistan
-while an asylum-seeker from Iraq got only 6 years for r*pe
-while an Iraqi national, was found guilty of eight counts of r*pe and grooming children as young as 12
-and his friend from Iran who arrived illegally skipped bail and is on the run
-and now we learn that a teenage girl has been stabbed in the neck by no doubt “a local man” in Burnley.

That’s one week in the UK. Oh, and the Left say talking about all this is “divisive”, they blame social media and Elon Musk, and local councils have told us not to fly our national flag because it might “intimidate” migrants. One week. The UK. 🤡

Weird.

[Dr. Maalouf ‏ @realMaalouf]

A bit odd, don’t you think?

As soon as Muslims started immigrating to Japan, its Shinto shrines and Buddhist temples started burning down, just like the churches in Europe.
