Trump's Surprising, Hilarious Endorsement
of Maine Senate Candidate
Posted By: Dreadnought, 6/11/2026 12:15:01 AM
President Donald Trump may have had differences of opinion on votes in the past with Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME). But he was not holding back on Wednesday, when faced with a binary choice at this point. He was asked if he was "all in" for Collins and if she had his endorsement over her scandal-plagued, leftist Democratic opponent, Graham Platner. Trump being Trump was hilarious, and made the case simple. "She does because she's a sane woman. She's not my best friend at all," Trump said. "But she's a sane person. She's a person that's never missed a vote in many years. I mean, she's like 10,000 votes.

No phenomenon better illustrates howling phoniness: Democrats who falsely smeared President Trump as Hitler, and defamed patriotic MAGA Americans as Nazis, buoyed Maine senatorial candidate Graham Platner atop their shoulders on primary election night.
Recent months’ news accounts detailed Platner’s foulness: the SS Deathshead “Totenkopf” tattoo he proudly wore for some 19 years (until investigative lights shone), his history of violent domestic abuse, his habit of referring to women with gutter vulgarian verbiage, his vow to rape home invaders as a means of establishing dominance, and wishing death upon a bullets-wounded U.S. military veteran.

NPR is having a normal one, throwing shade at America as we host the 2026 FIFA World Cup. According to NPR's immigration correspondent Sergio Martínez-Beltrán, U.S. immigration policies are casting a pall over the entire affair.
President Trump's restrictive immigration policies are already impacting this year's 2026 FIFA World Cup.
At least one referee from Somalia and one Iraqi team staff member were denied entry at U.S. airports in recent days, and dozens of fans from countries such as Morocco have been denied travel visas, despite being ticket holders.

Lesley Stahl has seen a lot of horrible things over the course of her career at 60 Minutes, but none of it can compare to the horror she experienced watching her fellow journalists lose their jobs for being obnoxious.
"Oh God, this was awful," Stahl told Puck when asked about the half dozen veteran producers and personalities who were fired along with Scott Pelley, the veteran newsreader and combat survivor dismissed for insubordination. "This was by far the worst experience I’ve been involved in, or even witnessed."
The worst experience she’s ever even witnessed. By far. The Puck reporter observed that Stahl's voice "trailed off

Trump Signs Massive DHS Funding Bill,

It’s over. The fight for Department of Homeland Security funding, that is.
The Democrats denied the agency funding in February, resulting in a partial government shutdown that lasted over two months, leaving thousands of employees without paychecks for long periods. It was all over nonsensical demands for reforms to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), many of which would have severely curtailed agents’ ability to do their job.
It looks like they won’t be able to play that trick for the rest of Donald Trump’s term, however, because the president signed the $70 billion Secure America Act into law on Wednesday:
Democrats are perfectly willing to kick the Voting Rights Act of 1965 to the curb if it means gaining power in Washington, according to a Politico poll published on Wednesday.
The Republican push for redistricting across the South has Democrats in full panic mode. They may still be caterwauling about "disenfranchising" black voters in the Supreme Court's Callais decision, but when it comes to the raw exercise of power, they feel no compunction about breaking up black-majority districts to make red districts in blue states more competitive for the Democrats.
Republicans have long argued that the Voting Rights Act (VRA) was unconstitutional.

Supreme Court in Battle Over New Congressional Map 0 replies
In late May, RedState reported on a ruling that was handed down in consolidated lawsuits filed by leftist groups looking to block Florida's new congressional map from taking effect ahead of the 2026 midterms.
In that ruling, Circuit Judge Joshua Hawkes denied the plaintiffs' temporary injunction request. Hawkes noted in part that ruling against the state at this late date was not a good idea, seeing as how Florida's primary is on August 18th. The judge also had concerns about the state's current 20th Congressional District in light of the U.S. Supreme Court's Louisiana v. Callais ruling.
"Plaintiffs’ evidence focuses on challenging the constitutionality of the 2026 map,
The US military launched a fresh wave of strikes on Iran Wednesday evening, hours after President Trump warned additional attacks on the Islamic Republic were coming to try and force Tehran to re-enter serious peace negotiations.
“U.S. Central Command [CENTCOM] forces began launching additional self-defense strikes today at 5:15 p.m. ET against multiple targets in Iran at the Commander in Chief’s direction,” the Tampa, Fla.-based combat command said in a statement on X. “The strikes are in response to Iran’s unwarranted and continued aggression.”
There were no immediate reports on specific targets, damage or casualties. Wednesday’s attacks came after
President Trump took this TruthSocial platform on Wednesday to let us in on some rather earth-shattering news in the ongoing war with Iran. According to President Trump, over 200 tankers carrying more than 100 million barrels of crude oil have safely transited the Straits of Hormuz under Iran's nose with U.S. military protection. Last month, I directed our Great U.S. Military to execute a secret mission to support Oil Tankers and other Commercial Ships through the Strait of Hormuz. Today, I am pleased to announce that this effort has resulted in more than 100 MILLION Barrels of Oil making its way through the Strait, and into the Open Market.
Iran announced it was closing the Strait of Hormuz to all vessels after the United States launched strikes on “multiple targets” on Wednesday evening.
“From this moment on, due to insecurity in the region, the Strait of Hormuz is declared closed to the traffic of any type of vessel, including oil tankers and commercial vessels, and any traffic will be affected,” the Iranian military said in a statement. The strait provides access to roughly a fifth of the global oil supply. While Iran has closed the strait, the U.S. maintains a blockade on Iranian ports. The interruption has sent
President Donald Trump said Wednesday that the U.S. would hit Iran "very hard" again, escalating his public threats as he pressed Tehran to sign a deal.
"We hit them hard yesterday, and we're going to hit them hard again today," Trump said at a White House signing event for the Secure America Act. "We're going to be attacking them and attacking them very hard." Trump said Iran "should sign the deal" and said that the U.S. wants an agreement "that's meaningful and works."
"We'll see what happens with the deal," Trump said.
The comments come after Trump warned on Truth Social that Iran had taken too long to negotiate

Masked men targeted homes belonging to migrants in Belfast on Tuesday night, after a Sudanese asylum seeker was charged with attempted murder over a knife attack.
Rioters set fire to homes, a Middle Eastern supermarket, cars and buses, forcing some people to flee. Video footage shared on social media showed children being carried out of buildings on fire. Police vehicles were attacked, while a fire service spokesman said they had attended 62 incidents. Hadi Alodid, 30, was remanded in custody after appearing at Belfast Magistrates' Court today. He was charged with the attempted stabbing murder of Stephen Ogilvie, threats to kill an NHS radiographer on the same day
A report found that Social Security is on track to be insolvent by the end of 2032, and beneficiaries may experience a 22 percent benefit cut if the looming insolvency is not addressed.
Social Security provides guaranteed retirement income to over 70 million Americans. The Center on Budget and Policy Priorities states that Social Security keeps more Americans out of poverty than any other program in the United States.
The 2025 report found that the projected Old-Age and Survivors Insurance fund, which pays benefits to retirees and survivors of deceased workers, would be depleted by 2033. In August, it moved the insolvency date to 2032,
Democratic Senate candidate Graham Platner claimed that he has been able to "make a living on the sea" since leaving the armed forces during a Friday rally, an assertion his financial disclosures don’t appear to support. Platner, who is running for Senate in Maine to unseat incumbent GOP Sen. Susan Collins, has long identified himself as an oyster farmer and harbor master, giving a blue-collar tinge to his left-wing campaign. Financial disclosures, however, show that he brings in relatively little money from oyster farming, with reports suggesting that Platner receives the majority of his income through veteran’s disability payments.

The State Department is dismantling birth tourism networks across Africa and Europe, officials announced on Wednesday.
An estimated 33,000 United States-born children are rewarded birthright American citizenship annually solely because their foreign parents arrived in the United States on a temporary visa, often a tourist visa, before they were born. Decades later, those American-born children can sponsor their parents for green cards.
The birth tourism industry is widespread among Turkish nationals in New York City, Chinese nationals in California, Russian nationals in Florida, and Middle Easterners in Illinois.
State Department officials said in a series of X posts they have just recently brought down in West Africa

For A Life-Saving American Invention:

Do you know who Willis Havilland Carrier is? No? Maybe you should. He’s the engineer who, way back in 1902, invented what we now call air conditioning. His invention has been cooling American houses and businesses ever since. But it’s also done something even more important: Saved hundreds of thousands of lives.
Think that’s hyperbole? It isn’t.
As America prepares for yet another long, hot summer, most of us will stay indoors to work and relax. Why? When the torrid weather arrives, we simply turn on our air conditioning and immediately feel cool air filling our rooms and making us comfortable.
But comfort is a bonus to AC’s real impact: saving lives.
The Postal Service proposed a new rule pushing states to turn over their mail-in and absentee voter rolls to the agency, a move in line with President Donald Trump’s March executive order tightening regulations on mail-in voting in federal elections. Since the start of his second administration, Trump has made election integrity and security a central issue, signing multiple executive orders to require proof of citizenship and crack down on mail-in voting fraud, essentially establishing a national voter verification system. His efforts have run into several legal hurdles, with judges ruling against requirements for proof of citizenship, and several Democratic states sue over the mail-in voting order.
On Tuesday, the House Judiciary Committee held a hearing on the Southern Poverty Law Center. Republicans are rightfully scrutinizing the organization's practices, and one of their witnesses was Dr. Alveda King. In case you're unfamiliar with Dr. King, she's a child of the Civil Rights movement. Her father is Alfred Daniel King, the younger brother of Martin Luther King Jr., and she's quite accomplished in her own right. She represented the 28th District in the Georgia House of Representatives as a Democrat, but she eventually switched to the Republican Party and has famously said that she is a Christian first before associating with any political party.
Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) conceded the South Carolina Republican gubernatorial primary race Tuesday less than two hours after polls closed, as returns showed the firebrand congresswoman trailing Trump-backed Lt. Gov. Pamela Evette by double digits.
“This isn’t the end of the fight, but it is the end of a chapter,” Mace said in her concession speech, during which she endorsed state Attorney General Alan Wilson in a runoff race against Evette. Serving South Carolina has been the greatest honor of my life,” Mace wrote on X, shortly after conceding. “Every vote I cast, every hearing I called, every fight I picked — it was always for you.”
