The far-left group Progressive Victory is unveiling a troubling allegation against a potential candidate to replace Democrat Graham Platner in Maine’s U.S. Senate race, alleging that this individual “struck a female colleague with a bottle he threw at her” during a disagreement, corroborated by several witnesses. Platner is facing more than an uphill battle after yet another controversy bubbled up. This time, a woman alleges that Platner broke into her home and sexually assaulted her. Jenny Racicot, 41, the alleged victim, told Politico that she was dating Platner on and off. In 2021,

With the latest allegations against Graham Platner, Democrats in Maine are scrambling to find a candidate to replace him on the ballot this fall. One name that has been floated is Troy Jackson, a far left Maine Democrat who also ran for governor of the state. There’s just one problem. There are allegations of assault against a woman by Troy Jackson too. You could not make this up. Amazingly, the allegations against Jackson were uncovered and published by a leftist group which doesn’t want Democrats to make the same mistake they did with Platner.

Virginia rolled hard toward gun control this year. Never mind that Gov. Abigail Spanberger ran as a moderate, said little to nothing about guns during her campaign, said she was about affordability, and then took office and did nothing about the cost of living. Instead, she tried to redistrict the state--something she expressly said she wouldn't do--and tried to take everyone's guns away. I was ready to hold onto Cam's guns for him if he needed it, but thankfully, that hasn't been necessary. Part of the reason it's not necessary is because of grandfather clauses thankfully, but another part is that everything Spanberger's tried has blown up in her face spectacularly.

The radical Left’s desperate scheme to flood American elections with illegal non-citizen votes just hit a massive, Trump-shaped brick wall in Florida. A Trump-appointed federal judge in Florida has OVERRULED a highly controversial order by a far-left, foreign-born activist judge in Washington D.C., officially REINSTATING President Donald Trump’s powerhouse election security system. The Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements (SAVE) system upgrades, which allow patriot states to instantly screen voter rolls and purge illegal aliens, is back online. Last March, President Trump signed an executive order aimed at preserving and protecting the integrity of US elections.

Before I take a (well-deserved) victory lap, a confession: My predictive accuracy rate for Democrats is astronomically high, yet I’ve whiffed quite a bit predicting President Donald Trump’s next moves. (Certainly didn’t have Greenland, the Iran War ceasefire, or the White House ballroom on my bingo card.) But there’s an excellent reason why the Donkeys are so much easier to predict: The Democrats rely on traditional PR tactics, so if you figure out why a competent PR pro would play that card, it unmasks their entire agenda. After all, PR tactics aren’t random; they’re based on cause and effect.

It was a direct violation of the “memorandum of understanding” (MOU) between the two countries, according to the U.S., and the resulting American military response was roughly eight times larger than the earlier strikes on June 27, after Iran also attacked commercial shipping. The Treasury Department also reimposed sanctions on Iranian oil sales, hitting them where it hurts: in the wallet. All this is going on as the seemingly endless, week-long funeral for the very dead former Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei rambles on. The ceasefire looks increasingly tenuous, as our Ward Clark reported earlier Tuesday:

federal judge in Florida on Tuesday ordered the Department of Homeland Security to restore some of the key features of its Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements system, which states use to verify citizenship and immigration status for voter rolls. The ruling overturns a D.C. judge's ruling, who determined that the SAVE system's features, including a feature that allowed workers to verify citizenship status through a resident's social security number, violated the Social Security Act and Privacy Act by improperly aggregating and using Americans’ personal data. The SAVE system was enhanced under the Trump administration to better support state election integrity efforts, including maintenance of state voter rolls.

Far-left Muslim Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed is facing renewed scrutiny after newly surfaced audio revealed him explicitly supporting efforts to defund police departments. In his previous interviews, El-Sayed has denied ever calling to defund the police, arguing that his old social media posts were misrepresented after being taken out of context. But recordings from 2020 tell a different story. In one interview from June 2020, El-Sayed said he believed police funding should be reduced while more taxpayer dollars should be directed toward schools, mental health services, and anti-poverty programs.

CENTCOM said the strikes were intended to impose “heavy costs” on Iran for targeting civilian-crewed commercial shipping in an international waterway, describing the attacks as “unwarranted” and “dangerous.” The operation came as Washington and Tehran were implementing a memorandum of understanding aimed at ending months of regional conflict and restoring safe navigation through the strategic waterway. The escalation followed a series of Iranian attacks on commercial vessels transiting the Strait of Hormuz over Monday and Tuesday, including a Qatari liquefied natural gas tanker and a Saudi tanker, prompting condemnations from Gulf states,

The Treasury Department revoked a sanctions waiver issued on June 21 that had temporarily allowed transactions involving Iranian crude oil, petroleum products, and petrochemicals. Under the new guidance, companies have until July 17 to wind down transactions previously authorized under the waiver. The original authorization had been set to remain in effect through Aug. 21. The waiver was issued as part of a ceasefire memorandum of understanding (MOU) reached between the United States and Iran following months of conflict. A U.S. official said the agreement was always contingent on Iran’s behavior.

Maine Democrat candidate Graham Platner is refusing to drop out of the Senate race after being accused of rape unless he gets to approve his successor, the New York Post reported Tuesday. The political winds shifted decidedly against the Maine Democrat Monday, after the latest sexual abuse allegations dropped in POLITICO. A woman who once dated Platner, a fellow Democrat, told the outlet that he broke into her house and “forced her to have sex with him nearly five years ago despite her repeated objections.” Platner called the allegations “categorically false,” but stated he would be pausing his campaign nonetheless.

California Democrats spent years trying to strangle ICE detention in their state. Trump's DHS just spent $1.5 billion to make sure that doesn't work. President Donald Trump's Department of Homeland Security has purchased two of the largest ICE detention facilities in California, securing more than 4,500 detention beds in a state where Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) has made blocking immigration enforcement a signature political cause. CoreCivic, the nation's largest private prison and detention operator, announced Monday that DHS completed the purchase on July 2 of the 2,560-bed California City Detention Facility and the 1,994-bed Otay Mesa Detention Center in San Diego,
