After a few new serious accusations were hurled at Graham Platner last week, the Maine Senate candidate has officially dropped out of the race.But his farewell message was full of accusations as well.“I just want you to think about what you would do as a regular person in a position where a much larger world, large forces were working against you personally to accuse you of the worst thing that a person could do. And it was not remotely true,” Platner said.“I learned about this through press inquiries with no time to truly respond, no time for investigations before a…

During a campaign, if you’re going viral for what you’re saying, it could be good or bad. If you’re going viral for how you said it, it’s almost universally a bad thing. Case in point: Howard Dean. Dean was a successful governor in Vermont and his insurgent campaign for the 2004 Democratic presidential nomination was one of the first effective uses of small-donation fundraising and social media to mobilize supporters. He later went on to run the Democratic National Committee, also with some success. But what do you remember him for? Probably this: Happy 20th anniversary to the Howard Dean scream!…

Tue Jul 14, 2026 – 8:01 am EDT (LifeSiteNews) — A German bishop who backed the Synodal Way’s push for homosexual “blessings” says he’s open to abolishing priestly celibacy, telling German broadcasters the Church must weigh what it “gains and gives up.” Bishop Christian Würtz, who was recently appointed as bishop of Eichstätt by Pope Leo XIV, gave an interview to Bayerischer Rundfunk in which he talked about his attitude toward the “reforms” demanded by the heretical German Synodal Way. Würtz said he is in favor of an open debate on priestly celibacy, arguing that the Church should weigh the…

On Monday’s broadcast of CNN’s “The Source,” Sen. Roger Marshall (R-KS) discussed Iran and said that the Gulf states “have a responsibility here as well. We’ve done our job.” And “We have defanged Iran, now it’s their turn to go in and finish the job that they need to finish. They need to send their ground troops in, if that’s what it takes. But it should not be American soldiers that are leading the way.” Marshall said that Iran is “decades away from having nuclear weapons, and we can play whack-a-mole going forward. But here’s another question that I have,…

In October 2020, The Heritage Foundation proposed that the Navy focus its limited resources on two maritime theaters critical in peacetime and any modern war in which the United States might find itself.[REF] The concept of maritime decisive theaters is a reframing of the Army’s decisive terrain concept for strategic naval operations in today’s comprehensive rivalry with China that some, including Heritage,[REF] have called out as a dangerous whole-of-society challenge. In short, control of the right decisive maritime theaters enhances deterrence and enables an economy of force for strategic effect in both peacetime competition and wartime.Decisive theaters in the context of the…

From the White House to the South Carolina State House, his loss has left a larger hole than many, including those in the media, anticipated. As Sen.

Economist Arthur Laffer is widely regarded as the father of supply-side economics and is hated by the left for that reason. In 2019, Laffer was invited to speak on the campus of Binghamton University and what happened, as it often did at the time, was a bit of student organized cancel culture. Here’s a sample but I’ll post the full video below. I’m disgusted by the chaos we’ve witnessed erupt across the @binghamtonu campus over the past several days. Our college campuses should be places where ideas and peaceful discourse can be shared freely by…
