ELECTION 2026: FOLLOW-UP - MAINE SENATE, PLATNER .... AGAIN

UPDATE:3AM CT, 2026Jun02 - yeah, I'm still up and watching OUTNUMBERED (FNC) and caught a few more things you should know.

1)they were married in 2023, so 2-3 yrs
2)the App where Platner hangs out is called Kick, and 60% of it's users (15 million/month)  are ages 13-24 years old .... so roughly 9 million of them ... the National Center for Exploitation calls the App a preditors paradise .... ewww.
3)he says he is a socialist ... will they allow you to be on the Navy Seals if you are a Socialist?  I'm going to guess not.

===============================

So - I have lerned a few more things about Graham Platner .... all pretty much from Fox News Channel and ABC news - I'm having issues sleeping again ....

A)he and his wife, Amy have been married at least 2 years.  And about a year ago, he was sending intimate texts to other women ... at least according to his wife.

B)He denies any knowledge of the texts - which his wife was supposed to have turned over to his campaign.

C)During a video the wife made, she spoken of them having 3 seperate councilors ... a marriage councilor, and each of them have their own personal counsellors.  I know he is collecting disability from "the army" (according to Jesse Watters) but since he was supposed to be a Navy Seal, I would think it's from the Navy or Marines .... but I'm not really sure.

But - that's a LOT of counsellors! If one f them is for his disability claim, I can see 2 of them .... but what would cause her to get a seperate one for herself??

D)also in her video, the wife said "marriage is hard", as well as "new marriages are hard" .... but she ends up saying "infidelity is hard" - gee you think?

I look at her ... and I have to wonder - was she ALONE while making this video? I'm telling you - you've got to see her face during her husband's interview about basically the same subject.

E)There was an extra bit to what the gal said on The View (ABC) ... I did see the first part of what she said on a different clip - it doesn't make what she said any better, in fact it kind of makes it worse.

She also said Platner had the Skull tattoo for 20 years and within all that time, according to her, he never learned who/what this particular skull stood for??

Good Point, actually - but that should make you less likely to vote for him!

This particular skull was more than the SS skull ... it was the same tattoo that guards of the Nazi Concentration Camps had!

Yes - it's THAT tattoo ... you don't have to be Jewish to know it, nor do you have to know anyone to understand what this symbol means!

He had to know, he had to know BEFORE he ran for office ... 

I CAN'T BELIEVE SHE SAID THIS

 Out loud!

So this is a FOLLOW UP on Platner... the guy running for Maine's Senate seat ....

As it turns out, The Five (FNC) had his story in the "A" spot .... and a lot of info came out.

1)He did all the texts his wife told about while they were married - and remember, they've only been married a year.  whoa!

2) He washed out of college ... but that's actually not so bad, at least he went, right?

3)This "every Joe" guy recieved $200K from his father for a house ... and his mother bought him the oyster business which makes sense - she's his largest client! 

4)He earns $60K/yr .... nit from the company, but from SSDI from the Navy!!!  Wait - he was a Navy Seal, and now he can't deal with what he went through?? 
Has anyone actually checked his backgound on this one? Did he actually make it, or did he just try? How far did he go, did he go on any missions
Yes, it does matter .... my son-in-law was in the Navy and he has permanent issues with his shoulder because of it, but he doesn't get SSDI for having his shoulder dislocated all the time.

5) He, according to Jess Watters, is still visiting online sites visited by minor kids/girls .... ewww.

6)The View .... OMG - I don't watch then amymore, not since they said there was nothing wrong with Biden - it just showed me how far to the left they really are.  However, on of the ladies on the view, one of the yiunger ones - so not Whoopi or Joy - I don't know the other ones names .... but they were talking about Platner and she actually said "
" ...so he's a liar, a rapist, an anti-Semite, um, he's a homophobe .... this is a concern but out country is in grave, very grave, peril"

What?  Yes, she said that out loud .... these are the EXACT things they kept yelling about Trump, what made him "unacceptable" to hold office.The EXACT same stuff .... but she feels they should look the other way????

You have got to be kidding me! 

Pot, meet Kettle!

ELECTION 2026: MIDTERM ELECTIONS, MAINE

Okay, let's zero in on the State of Maine .... it's that big state on the east coast of the US, it looks kind of like an animal head without ears ... it is supposed to be a beautiful area, I have never been there - too far out of our way in high school (long story)

Well - they are doing their Primary races next week ... and I'm sure you've heard about Graham Platner .... he is just an "everyday Joe" running for Senator.

He was a Navy seal, then a fisherman .... and he got a=married last year by the sounds of it .... he was their "shining star" so to speak.  They figured he was a shoe in.

accept ....

First thing we heard was about his tattoo.  It is supposed to be a Skull and Crossbones which was used during WWII by the Nazis - in particular, the SS, those big bad guys dressed in black - BUT when it was pointed out, he told people he "had it removed" .... said he got it on a drunken night out with his fellow Seals, and he just thought it looked "cool".

1)he never had it "removed" he has it covered up, sort of ... he has had some ink added to it - but - IT'S STILL THERE

2)His leading opponent dropped out of the race - so he was basically supposed to walk away with the Democratic nomination.  Oh God, I hope not.

3)Remember his wife (Amy Gertner) - who just got married to him last year by the sounds of it?  Well, she turned over some salacious texts by her husband to other women, supposably while they were married.

Excuse me??

She thought she was going to get around this by bringing it forth (at least that's her current story) and somehow the media got a hold of it - oh my! 

She says she has forgiven him .... but has she really?  

And why does her name sound so familiar? 

And apparently, there was a person working for Platner - simpky stated a staffer - was going to do an interview, when she began to get threats from another Platner staffer saying he was going to ruin her and she was a liar ... hmmm, this doesn't sound fishy at all.

Platner has said "white rural people" are both "stupid" and "racist" ... say what? .... He also dismissed RAPE in the military ... 

Yeah - can we just forget about him, please?  I know Cory Booker (D-NJ) says they need him, but it seems they both have problems with women in their past ... remember, it was Booker who admitted to acting inappropriately in his younger days .... and right now - women do not mean as much it seems to ANYONE in the Democratic party as much as their voting numbers do!!!

If you can find a video of her while HE makes a statement about what's being said - look at her face ... she can't seem to keep her eyes still, she looks at him, she looks at the floor, she looks at the cameras, and in the end - she looks very SAD     about it all ...

Gov. Janet Mills, dropped out of the Senate race ... interesting, makes me wonder what happened there?  Something in her or her husband's past? Might be worth looking at, guys!

Wow - well, let's nope he will flip the state RED - and I generally don't want a state to be one way or another.

CLEANING HOUSE A LITTLE TOO LATE ....

 So, as if to trying to hide even more ... further ... light shining upon fraud in the state of Minnesota - the Minneapolis Police chief has decided to resign.

But ... let's back up a bit, because there is a lot more to this story ....

In 2022, MPD got a new Chief after Alejandro left .... I don't remember how "voluntary" that one was, but he left ... be he left, and the city went OUTSIDE the city to look for a new head - in fact, they went outside the STATE ... all the way to NEW JERSEY, if I remember correctly.

And we had C ... 

Now they must have done a thorogh and complete vetting of this guy, right? WRONG - according to one reporter, he came with a FILE FULL of "investigations" with him - but I guess that didn't matter.  He left the NJ and the cases disappeared by the sounds of it.

He was then being accused of aggressive behavior on his new job ... including - but not limited to - working on the streets, making "arrests" WITHOUT a body cam which every other office MUST have while working with the public - as opposed to filling in afterhours as private security .... 

This came about when another officer's camera caught the Chief tackling a perp ... apparently, it sounds as if there were some other charges made as well.

Well, it seems as if it didn't take very long for Internal Affairs - aka The Rat Squad - to prick their ears of some of the things being said about the new Chief.

Now, it's not unusual for people, who think they have a better idea of what is actually needed for the position, to bring forth reasons they think will get the new guy into trouble ... but usually this happens when people are promoted within a department - but O'Hara came from outside the department.

But ... anyways .... there were some whispers of "sexual misconduct" going on ... and since he is "above" everyone else, it could easily be a case of power-play going on ...

So, the Rat Pack got involved .... they did interviews .... they did some digging into things .... they taGlked to people involved.

And here's what was found.

A mess - I cannot remember how it went, but here is a YouTube video from Crabby Coffee Shoppe (Garage Logic), in which they describe it all.

It sounds as if O'Hara realized that IF any relationship between himself and this contact was found, he likely would have been prosecuted or at least have raised even more questions.

But - no matter what, he is GONE and now a new Chief is in his place ... although, we will have to see how long this one lasts.

Officer Karen Blackwell .... if her name sounds familiar, think George Flloyd trial - where she ..... well, if you watched the video above you know what is is accused of ...

Here'is another video from tonight's news on KMSP (FOX) where they give a quick overview of what's happening with the "Chief of Police" spot.

BLESSED MEMORIAL DAY

 TODAY is Memorial Day, at least in the USA, I guess in Britian it's called just a "Bank Holiday" and I have no idea what they do in Canada or Australia ... but here we remember those we lost in WAR ....

Those who served, .... and died...
Those who served ... and came back, at least part of them did ...
Those who served ... and came back with emotional issues
Those who served ... and survived

Okay - This is NOT Labor Day .... we are NOT supposed to be celebrating a day off work ...

We are supposed to be remembering ...

My Father, who helped patriot POWs from German concentration camps - go ahead, try to tell me it didn't happen - I've got some opinions on this one.

My Mom's big brother, who was a POW in Japan - it was said he came back with some pretty major issues which broke up his marriage and other addictive issues as well.

Then there are ALL of my Uncle's on my father's side - they ALL served during @@II ... in EVERY branch of service.

Then there are people like my Coucin -  a prud Marine, who served with pride.

And my son-in-law, who was in the Navy but was discharged because he kept dislocating his shoulder - if I remember correctly - but he was there.

and my oldest daughter - who tried to be a Marine, but just couldn't make it through Basic (they rushed her in and she wasn't quite ready yet) ... she still talks about her time with pride and dreams .... 

This is for the Police Officers and Firefighters as well - at least in my mind - who were lost during their duty.

Remember them all ....

Say a prayer - even if its "Thank You"  and that's it - you don't need to go to a cemetary .... you don't need to do anything else.

Just REMEMBER THEM

Then, once that's done .... you may move on with your day ....

UPDATE: KIDNAPPING, NANCY GUTHERIE

 A NEW story has been posted - just today by the looks of it, too.

In this one, a retired FBI agent has a few things to say about the investigation, and now much the sherrif department screwed it up!

So - here's the link .... I hope it still works.

and remember - it will open a new tab when you click on it.

BUT ARE THEY REALLY REPORTERS????

So, in case you missed this, I thought I'd let you know about what's happening in New Yourk City .... you know, that big place, with all those people, who went on a big manhunt a couple years ago .... looking for the person who EXECUTED the CEO of a Health Insurance company.

Well apparently, and I say apparently because  - well we will get there .... apparently you do NOT need to actually be employed by a news agency ... yu can simply have a website or blog and they will count that as being eligible for a "Press Pass".

Now - remember when Obama was president??

There was a man who had gotten a "press pass" .... and he asked some pretty harsh questions.  Well - they decided he did NOT qualify as "press" and pulled his credentials ...

Well, now there are a couple of "worepmen" (I'm pretty sure they are, but you never know these days) who have been issued Press Passes by the NYC POLICE DEPARTMENT.

Wait - what??

So could I get a Press Pass as well??  Don't be foolish - but then these two have been "interviewed" by other legitimate  reporters and they are soooooo biased.

Here's what they said during the interview .... although - I don't know who said what so I'm just going to quote it all as one large answer ...

"F*** Brian Thompson.

I don't give a flying f*** he died.

His chidren are off without him.

They meed to learn to mot be like thier dad and enjoy the blood money kids.

He's responsible for more deathe than Usama bin Laden, and I remember Americans celebratingwhen Usama bin Laden was killed.

It's not like we don't understandheroic violence, or like, when the violence is good.

That's like, as Americn as American gets."

Um .... excuse me????

So these two got Press passes??????

Holy Crap!  What is gRemember oing on???

We've got enough going on in the courtroom - let's not let the Circus into the Press room though.

Remember when a "reporter" - an actual journalist - was supposed to be Neutral??? Leaning neither to the Right, nor to the Left - the best ones, you had no idea which side of the road they were on.

These days -- Good Luck finding one of those!

HAS ANYONE ELSE NOTICED THIS??

So, I'm listening to Special Report

 (FNC) because the host, Bret Braer, had an EXCLUSIVE interview with President Donald Trump - and if you've been paying attention, you know it's a rare thing ... so I couldn't resist.

Well - I find myself distracted .... has anyone else heard a SLUR, to his speech lately?  Almost like he has way too much spittle - I've never realized it before.

Could he have DENTURES?

I mean it's not a bad thing ... in fact I'm looking at getting a set ... my oldest daughter has had them since she was 25 or 26 yrs old (it's an inherited issue, not drugs or poor dental health) ... 

I'm just wondering.

After all - he's in his 80's, so it's not uncommon .... although, he's rich enough, you'd think he would have implants .... if his bone structure can hold them ... but he sounds like that cartoon cat that says "Suffering Succotash!"

I used to wonder if he had hearing aids, but this is the first I've been totally distracted by the way he sounds.

My mother (also had dentures) used to suck on hard candy - half to keep herself from coughing too much, but also to control the spittle.  I didn't even realize she had them though until she broke her upper plate eating corn, off the cob ... sigh ... I miss eating corn, on the cob ... I was about 16 yrs old, I knew she would use FasTeeth, and that it was goopy - but I had not idea.  She didn't slur her speech, didn't speak with spittle, etc.

It sounded like she got them when she was about 20-25 years old, and she had a terrible time - and my grandfather, her dad, was a "dentist" too!  

IF he does have dentures - I would hope he would make sure ALL dental care is taken care of by Medicare ... we will have to see what happens ... he still has 2 yrs left in his term.

HERE WE GO AGAIN .... AND AGAIN .... AND AGAIN ....

 So, for those who do not follow, nor listen to the news, here's what's going on in the state of Virginia (VA) .... well, actually, it all started in TX - but doesn't it always seem to start there? - in TX, they had decided to redraw their voting districts ... and they based the NEED to draw on (a) new Census data which shouwed they had actually gained people in 10 yrs, and (b)switch around a few things.

Well, then CA (California) decided they were going to do the same thing since TX's new map gave the Republicans something like 5 new seats in the US House of Representatives - and they did that .... I think the case is pending ... but Gov. Newsom came right out and SAID outloud that that was the REASON behind the redistricting ... didn't try to hide it or nothing.

Then in April, the state of NC did the same thing - but they created a couple "black majority" counties .... and that lawsuit went all the way to the US Supreme Court.  The Court decided (6-3) that it was illegal to use RACE and the single reason to create a new district.

Which makes sense, if race is the ONLY reason you couldn't get a job, buy a home, attend a college/school, or get from point A to point B (aka pre-1963) then you would say you were being decriminated against .... and the same applies here.  NC tried to hide behind the Johnson Voting Rights Act - which was supposed to kill "Jim Crow" laws, but that's not this story right now ....

So, VA - they voted in a NEW governor ... a woman .... a Socialistic Democrat (that's what she said, not my words) .... who had said during campainging that she had NO INTENTION to do any type of Redistricting - in fact, she called it a stupid idea - but then after she got voted into office ....
BOOM!!!! Guess what happened?  Yup - she pushed though Redistricting ... turned VA from a 6-5 Democrat state to a 9-1 Democratic state .... yeah, those numbers represtent the number of Districts which might vote for one party or another.  They have one county in 5 different Districts - yup 5, what the heck!  How do you do that?

The people in the state's Congress said "It goes against the states constitution" and "this is nuts" but she pushed it through anyways - and threw it on a voters ticket .... it went before the people...
Who admitted, they had no idea which way to vote on the question because it was written so convellutedly on the ticket .... if you voted "Yes" it meant you did NOT want the redistricting, if you voted "NO" it meant you did .... it was so bacwards ... 
Or was that the other way around? ....
Any who - the vote came in and BOOM the redistricting PASSED .... hmm, interesting ... but the GOP/Republicans were there with a lawsuit at the ready, and took it to court.

The VA Supreme Court - not the US Supreme Court, very important to keep this in mind - said that it violated the State's Constitution So now, the Republicans are sitting back and going "Told You So".

So VA has been forced back into the original 6-5 districts ... for now - I suspect this likely will be fixed via state constitution here shortly ... but NOT before the Primaries for the mid-terms ... we will have to see.

Oops - that was a 6-5 Dem state, to a 9-1 Dem state .... sorry ... I think I fixed it though, and that makes more sense for the numbers (after all, why would the Repubs pass it?)

So - they added 4 more seats to the Dem side of the equation - simply because they could .... no "umrepresentated" people involved, no "movement of populations" involved ... simply a "numbers game".

Here's what the State Supreme Court said:

"This Violation irreparably undermines the integrety of the resulting referendum vote and renders it null and void"

Huh? but they added .... 

  " that means the maps, and effect, for the referendum must be used for the upcoming midterm elections."

The VA Attorney General says they are looking a EVERY legal pathway on the way forward

Geez, I would have thought you'd have done that BEFORE you "redistricted" but apparently, they did not .... better take a closer look at that law degree, governor.

This however is far from over ... CA and UT are still going to the Supreme courts ... and for the republican side of things - well, TX is settled, but there is still FL, MO, OH, and TN who are looking to redistrict before the mid-terms as well.

Why?

well, in FL they are saying it's because of all the new population which has moved into the state - they have settled in such a way that it throws the counts off in the districts.  Oh, we will have to have a different post on "counts", wait for that post ... 

But - it's not so much to reshuffle the deck at home, as much as it is to reshuffle the deck in DC ... yup, you see, the districts pick who they will send to Washington - and while they are supposed to represent the people in their district back home, and do what's best for them ... instead it has become about doing what's best for the Party, and that just isn't right.

This is how you end up with rich congressional members while their people are living in squawler.  How they can so easily close the government down without any regard for those who are supposed to be getting a paycheck .... how they are so far from the people, that they have NO IDEA what the heck is going on!

But - hopefully - someday soon - this will be straightened out, they will take off their blinders and take a good look around. See what their foolishness has done to the country.
