Transgender candidate hoping to replace Graham Platner in Maine Senate race cites songwriting as a qualification

A transgender-identifying candidate drew widespread attention on social media after entering Maine’s Senate race to replace former Democrat nominee Graham Platner, who dropped out while facing sexual assault allegations.

Ashley Webb caused a social media storm on Thursday after highlighting being a songwriter as a qualification for the United States Senate during a Democrat Maine Senate Debate held by News Center Maine.

When each candidate was given a chance to introduce themselves, Webb said, “The biggest thing I’d like to get across is that we need unity. Whoever wins this nomination, we need to show up at the polls, we need to vote for them, and we need to make sure they win, no matter what. Because what’s going on in this country is not right with the… with the immigration and immigrants are being targeted. They’re being rounded up like animals. It’s not acceptable to allow this to go on in our streets.”

“And then with the trans community, like we’re being dehumanized,” Webb continued. “They say that we want to hurt people. I don’t want to hurt anybody, I just want to use the bathroom. And if they want me to use the men’s room, I will, but I don’t want to be assaulted.”

“And as far as, like, this … what happened in Biddeford, it’s unacceptable. We knew since January that … what ICE [Immigration and Customs Enforcement] has been doing with Alex and Renee,” Webb concluded as a tear fell, referring to the officer-involved shootings of Renee Good, Alex Pretti and Johan Sebastián Guerrero.

The moderators, journalists Rob Caldwell and Phil Hirschkorn, then asked each candidate what qualifications they have for the “extremely important” job of serving in Congress.

“Oh, I ran for office several times. Didn’t win, but I did run,” the Democrat candidate joked. “And then I’m a songwriter and then I write my own books and then I suppose my transparency. I wouldn’t lie to people and I wouldn’t deceive the people like we’re being deceived right now.”

Webb characterized “what’s going on with ICE” as “smoke and mirrors,” arguing that supporters of federal immigration enforcement are “pretending like these victims did something wrong.”

“I suppose the biggest thing is, like, I’m just an angry citizen now, and if I got elected, I’d be an angry senator and I think that would probably be their worst nightmare,” Webb said.

Later in the debate, when asked for specific solutions to address the nearly $40 trillion in national debt and approximately $1.37 trillion annual deficit, Webb suggested cutting government spending, specifically citing President Donald Trump’s renovation of the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool, which was reported to cost about $16 million, according to ABC News.

DSA Activist Linda Sarsour Wants to Replace the Declaration of Independence With Something That Reflects the Values of the Radical Left

Do you remember Linda Sarsour? She was very active in left wing politics during Trump’s first term. She became a leader of the ‘Women’s March’ movement but was ejected after they realized that she is a raging Jew-hater. It’s part of what led to the group’s downfall.

With the rise of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), she has returned. Her views make her a perfect fit for this radical mob.

In a recent video address to her supporters, she fantasized about replacing the Declaration of Independence with something that would better reflect the values of the left.

BizPac Review has details:

A resurfaced video of New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s (D) Islamist accountability partner sparked condemnation and further proved Hizzoner to be a “Trojan Horse” for extremists in America…

While too many leaders have turned a blind eye to what essentially amounts to an invasion through democratic naivety, activists like Linda Sarsour have been forthright in expressing intent to supplant the Declaration of Independence with “a document that is our values …”

Pulled from her remarks on a Working Families Party mass call from March 2026, Canary Mission began circulating Sarsour’s view ahead of America’s semiquincentennial that found NewsNation host Katie Pavlich suggesting she “GTFO.”

“… the question historically is gonna be, what were we doing on the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence? What is our generation building?” posited the activist. “And as we know with the Declaration of Independence, really what it was, was a bunch of white guys 250 years ago who sat around and developed a document they called the Declaration of Independence.”

“The question is, can we build something different? Do we have the audacity to sit around and say that we want to build a document that is our values and our principles, and bring millions of Americans around it and say to them, put the politics to the side, put the political parties to the side,” she went on before presenting leftist talking points.

When Socialists Tell You Who They Are, Believe Them

In a Zoom video call in 2023, a leader of the Democratic Socialists of America said, “Our goal is communism.”  It was published as part of a compilation in April 2026.

None of the Democratic Socialists disavowed it.  Nobody posted a “clarifying statement” distancing the DSA from that statement.

So that’s who they are.  Their goal is communism.

The name of that leader is David Jenkins.  He’s a member of the DSA’s National Political Committee, so he ought to know.  

He told us who they are, so we should believe him.

Extreme leftist candidates (including DSA candidates) from past elections include

  • AOC, Rashida Tlaib, Ro Khanna, Ilhan Omar, and Pramila Jayapal.
  • Cory Booker, Ayanna Pressley, Bernie Sanders, and Cori Bush.

Extreme leftist DSA candidates who have popped up in the current cycle:

  • James Talarico in the Senate, who has embraced every nutball LGBTQ/trans theory on the planet, wrapped up in a sugary faux Christian coating.
  • Graham Platner was also running for Senate, after everyone knew about his Nazi tattoo, his active social media account at a site notorious for pedophiles chatting with little kids, and multiple credible allegations from conservative ex-girlfriends.  Platner was finally taken down by another credible allegation, this time from a liberal ex.
  • In the House, a whole tribe of new candidates, including a sociology Ph.D. candidate who started a new “Death to America” campus club, a former associate of the “Blind Sheikh” who masterminded an early bombing attack on the World Trade Center (WTC), and people who think we deserved 9/11.

When people tell you who they are, believe them.

Their strategy is to primary more moderate Dems and take as many of the Democrats’ “safe seats” as possible.  In such races, any actual competition is purely intramural, between Democrat factions.  Republicans always lose these races in November, and sometimes they don’t even bother to run a candidate.  The real battle is the Democrats’ primary.

Cori Bush is the only one from the initial DSA wave of 2016–2022 who “washed out,” by winning primaries for a few years, then losing one to a mainstream Dem.  Clearly, she’s being candid about her DSA identity while she’s trying to get back into House of Representatives.

Recently, her campaign posted a group photo from a July 8 meeting of the St. Louis DSA chapter, showing her next to a communist “influencer” named Christopher Winston.  He calls himself “BlackRedGuard” online and identifies as a Maoist.

This guy thinks landlords should be shot.  He’s suggested he would “execute” a political rival.

From Daily Wire:

Winston can be seen standing next to Bush with a shirt reading “armed minorities.” …

“I’m so proud to have DSA by my side, united in our fight against price gouging, big real estate, and billionaires influencing our politics,” [Bush] said. …

During a stream in March 2024, Winston said that “we’re going to execute you after the revolution” in response to a video leftist activist Shaun King made discussing fraud accusations. Winston said that he hoped that cancer “eats” King’s “a**hole out” and called him an “albino snake.”

In other appearances, Winston argued that “burning a Waymo is not political violence” and argued that landlords should be greeted by “a strongly worded letter in the form of a very hot piece of metal.” …

In other statements, Winston pledged to seize homes from landowners and argued that “the ultimate form of international solidarity is to make revolution in the United States.”

“Communists don’t want to take away your house. We’ll cancel your mortgage. You can have one house, not a dozen. Excess properties will be taken from landlords and distributed to actual families to live in,” he said in one recent post.

When they honestly tell you such things about themselves, believe them.

None of these people thinks America’s institutions have a right to exist in their present form.  America’s institutions, they say, must be torn down and rebuilt into a more diverse socialist/DIE paradise.  These are people who think the destruction of the WTC on 9/11 was not only well deserved, but necessary.  And they think borders shouldn’t exist.

To illustrate this glorious revolutionary mindset, they’re whining about Elon Musk being the world’s first trillionaire.  But I don’t think they would have objected if Hunter Biden had been the world’s first trillionaire.  They have zero interest in cleaning up any of the fraud, greed, waste, graft, and corruption among Democrats.

None of these people thinks Israel has a right to exist at all.  Every square inch of Israel, they say, belongs to the glorious and noble Palestinian people, represented by Hamas and Hezb’allah.  And we found out on October 7, 2023 how that would end.

Cori Bush and other DSA luminaries haven’t distanced themselves from any of Winston’s statements, or challenged the authenticity of that Jenkins video clip.  Their goal is communism.

Mamdani Shows How Clueless He is When Asked About Border and Immigration Policy but Can Only Attack ICE, Admits He’s Never Been to the Border

Socialist New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani humiliated himself in a Saturday interview with the far-left New York Times, showing how clueless he is about immigration and how unoriginal and empty his policy position is. 

During an interview with the New York Times’ Lulu Garcia-Navarro, Mamdani was asked, perhaps for the first time, what he thinks America’s immigration policy should be.

While noting that Darializa Avila Chevalier, one of Mamdani’s endorsed candidates for US Congress in the midterms, “rejects all deportations even of violent criminals” and refers to Borders as a “philosophical concept,” Garcia-Navarro asked for his proposals now that he’s stepping into federal races.

“How do you view, for example, the issue of border security? What border policy should America have? You know, should immigrants be able to claim asylum at the US-Mexico border? Should they be able to enter the country while their claims are being reviewed?” she asked.

But Mamdani gave a word salad answer, pandering to illegal aliens and claiming ICE has “terrorized Americans across this country and others that live in this country.”

“When we talk about immigration, it’s often bandied about as just a political subject for debate,” he said before ironically spewing his radical left-wing political talking points about “legality, consistency, and humanity” and not giving any actual answer.

Kentucky governor says he received 2 calls from agencies indicating McConnell had ‘passed’

Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear said this week that he received two calls from agencies suggesting Sen. Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., died while he was in the hospital.

In an interview with Katie Couric uploaded to YouTube on Thursday, Beshear, a Democrat, did not specify which agencies called him with the news or when the calls were made.

“In fact, I’d gotten two calls from different agencies, not state agencies, suggesting he’d passed,” said Beshear, who has served as governor since December 2019.

Fox News Digital reached out to Beshear and McConnell’s offices for comment.

After nearly a month of being hospitalized, McConnell’s office released a lengthy statement July 12 saying he was being treated for a June fall. A picture of him in a hospital bed alongside his wife was also released.

Prior to the announcement, there was speculation about what had happened to McConnell, given that his office did not reveal why he was in the hospital for weeks.

Emergency dispatch audio from June 14, the day McConnell was hospitalized, revealed he was “unconscious” and may have suffered a heart attack.

Police Investigating Death at Rep. Ayanna Pressley’s Property

Boston police are reportedly investigating the death of an unidentified person at “Squad” member Rep. Ayanna Pressley’s (D-Mass.) husband’s home.

The Boston Police Department’s (BPD) spokesman Officer James Moccia spoke with TMZ and confirmed that officers did respond to a death at 25 Malta Street in Boston’s Mattapan neighborhood around 1:50 p.m. local time on Saturday, July 18. This location is the home of Pressley’s husband, a convicted felon. Initially BPD classified it as an “investigate person” call, but this turned into a death investigation. The reported death follows on a police raid at the house, which is evidently a rental property.

Conan Harris, Pressley’s husband of more than a decade, owns the house, but it is not clear if he was there at the time of the BPD response. In fact, reportedly the couple does not live there. Therefore, it seems likely that someone who was renting or visiting the house died there.

Pressley and Harris collect up to $350,000 in rent from multiple Massachusetts properties. The Mattapan property could be worth $100,000 annually to the couple.

Bureaucratic NIGHTMARE – Marietta, GA Woman Mistakenly Declared Dead By Medicare, Left Without Coverage

In mid-June, WSB-TV news (Atlanta) reported that an elderly woman was mistakenly declared dead by Medicare and left without coverage!

Wrong, Medicare. She was very much alive and interviewed by the Atlanta media outlet.

The TV news presenters introduced the segment: “An 88-year-old Cobb County woman should be recovering right now in a rehab facility, after a hospital stay for heart problems. But instead her Medicare coverage has been cancelled because Medicare thinks she’s DEAD.”

The result was that she couldn’t get the care she needed right then.

The TV news reporter said that someone typed “deceased” into her medical records instead of “discharged”.

Her daughter said the results since have been “an avalanche of chaos”.

“I am alive, very much,” the 88-year-old woman told WSB-TV news.

The Secret Reason Why Fox News Is So Silent About Trump’s Election Fraud Speech

 Fox has just published a major story on Trump’s speech and his revelations about election meddling: READ THE DOCUMENTS: White House releases election integrity files after Trump speech.

The original article:

This is a major news story, because the PR implications are enormous: America’s #1 conservative media outlet is AWOL in the election fraud debate. 

Which means, if Republicans are going to win the PR argument, we must do it without Fox News as a counterbalance to the mainstream media.

After President Donald Trump’s primetime address on voter fraud on Thursday evening, the media noticed something curious: Fox News Channel was ignoring the story.

Mediaite: Fox & Friends Completely Ignores Trump’s Election Speech — Doesn’t Mention It Once in 3-Hour Show

As other networks picked apart President Donald Trump’s prime-time address to the nation early Friday morning, Fox News went in a completely different direction.

Fox & Friends produced not one mention of the president’s address from the night before, during which the commander in chief once again attempted to cast doubt on the integrity of American elections — pointing a finger at Venezuela and China.

Instead, the regular lineup of co-hosts Brian Kilmeade, Ainsley Earhardt, and Lawrence Jones discussed the latest campaign of U.S. airstrikes against Iran, the air quality crisis choking much of America, disastrous flooding in Texas, the World Cup, and a “phenomenal” speech — by Marco Rubio.

Near the end of the three-hour show, the F&F crew turned it over to America’s Newsroom host Dana Perino for a preview of the 9 a.m. show. In it, she also did not mention the speech.

Mediaite wasn’t the only outlet that noticed this omission. Over on CNN, Brian Stelter told viewers, “And here’s maybe the best tell of all: Fox News did not spend much time on this after the speech. They moved on right away. Fox News barely talking about this speech this morning. That tells me some of Trump’s allies in MAGA media know this might not be a winning issue for him.” [emphasis added]

Actually, it tells me Brian Stelter — CNN’s “chief media analyst” — knows a helluva lot less than I do about how the news media actually functions.

U.S. Ambassador to the UN Mike Waltz Pours Cold Water on Mamdani’s Plans to Arrest Netanyahu in New York City

As the Gateway Pundit has reported, New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani is kicking around the idea of arresting Israeli leader Benjamin Netanyahu the next time he is in the city.

This is nothing more than fantasy lip-service to Mamdani’s supporters who hate Israel with the heat of a thousand suns. It’s red meat for the ‘Free Palestine!’ mob.

It’s also further proof that Mamdani thinks that New York City is a separate, sovereign country and that he believes he is above federal laws.

To be clear, Zohran Mamdani as the mayor of New York City, has absolutely ZERO authority to arrest Netanyahu.

America’s ambassador to the United Nations, Mike Waltz is already pointing out that this entire thing is a non-starter.

RedState reports:

UN Ambassador Bursts Mamdani’s Bubble Over His Wish to Arrest Israeli PM Netanyahu in NYC

When will the members of the far-Left cabal learn?

New York City, as the home of the United Nations headquarters, is hosting the U.N. General Assembly in the fall. And Democratic Socialist NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani expressed during a recent interview with a New York Times interviewer that he’s holding onto a deeply-held wish and campaign promise: to have Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu arrested when the world leader arrives in his city to attend it.

Well, we do still have the First Amendment, so I say let him talk. Someone else with thoughts on Mamdani’s empty threat was U.S. Ambassador to the UN Mike Waltz, who only needed four bullet points to dispense with the mayor’s obvious “political theater”…

This is the text of Waltz’s tweet below:

Mayor Mamdani: here’s why your threat to arrest PM Netanyahu’s in NYC during UNGA is not going to happen:
1. The U.S. is not party to the Rome Statute that underlies the ICC,
2. The UN Headquarters Agreement grants diplomatic protections to visiting heads of gov’t,
3. head-of-state immunity applies, &
4. federal authority trumps any local mayor’s wishes.

This is pure political theater.

American Man Who Insists He’s a Woman Flees ‘Trump’s America,’ Finds Out

Leftists have their views of President Donald Trump and the state of the nation during his second term, but reality has its ways of breaking through, and they aren’t always pleasant. For over ten years now, the allegedly rational and tolerant among us have been working themselves, and anyone else they can get to, into a hysterical froth about Trump, in large part because of his determination not to allow the Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave to become a borderless free-for-all place of sanctuary for all of the world’s criminals, psychopaths, and terrorists.

That hysteria has led numerous leftists to vow to flee the country rather than suffer one more minute of Orange Man Bad’s reign of terror, and some, albeit far fewer than have threatened to do so, have actually left. Many who have loudly announced that they’re leaving this benighted, proto-fascist land are still here because, deep in their heart of hearts, they know that what they’re saying about Trump and America is about as plausible as the claim that Old Joe Biden, while he was pretending to be president of the United States, was sharp as a tack.

Some, however, have actually bid farewell to our fair shores and shaken the dust off their feet, seeking a better life in lands that are more tolerant, inclusive, multicultural, and all the other words that the left uses as synonyms for “culturally suicidal.” One of those who fled Trump’s racist, insufferable Amerikkka was a big, bluff guy who insists he’s a woman and has a cute little ponytail to prove it. Having found refuge from Trump in the peaceful hamlet of Ter Apel in the Netherlands, the big guy has found himself facing problems that (could it be possible?) are even worse than the man leftists consider to be the focus of evil in the modern world.

A video shows the big guy talking with a female Dutch interviewer, over whom he towers, as if he were a… man, which, of course, he really is. As they chat, a group of much younger men lurk nearby, looking dangerous. The video opens with the man who thinks he’s a woman talking about those young men: “Between here and there is a bunch of Algerians and Moroccans or whoever who think that queer people should be beaten. I think that this system where you have people just living out here that are unhappy is not good.”
