Democrat Senate Hopeful Graham Platner Admitted Taliban-Compromised Network Was Used for ‘Phone Sex’

Things keep getting more problematic for the Democrats, who have hitched their Senate hopes on Graham Platner, the candidate running to oust Susan Collins in Maine. Platner has a deeply troubling history of attacking police officers, dismissing rural Americans as racist, and blaming women for being victims of sexual assault, telling them to ‘grow up.’

Earlier, we learned that Platner had even more troubling Reddit posts, where he admitted to committing lewd acts in portable toilets. Here’s some of what Fox News Digital reported on that:

In one March 2017 post on Reddit’s r/Military forum, Platner responded to a discussion about nostalgic military smells by writing: “I still have to jerk off every time I sit in a portas—-er … that blue water smell conditioned me.” 

But Platner’s depravity goes far beyond the porta-potty. In fact, his sexual proclivities risked the safety of his fellow service members. 

In reporting exclusively to Townhall, additional unearthed Reddit posts reveal that Platner used a cell phone network infiltrated by the Taliban to have phone sex. 

Platner made the comments under the username P-Hustle, and he confirmed in October of last year that the account belonged to him. In January 2020, Platner posted that he used Roshan, an Afghan cell phone network, to have ‘phone sex’ with his girlfriend:

In 2010-2011, I was in Afghanistan as a rifle squad leader with the Army and I was blown away that everyone had cell phones and the command didn’t seem to remotely care. Hell, the unit I replaced gave me a Roshan phone with some minutes on it, which I totally used to have phone sex with my girl.

Hakeem Jeffries Melts Down With Bitter Rants at Voters, Athletes, and Reality Itself

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries used a progressive event on Tuesday to say House Democrats must defeat MAGA Republicans electorally and “break their spirit,” while also joining the NAACP and Congressional Black Caucus in backing a call for black athletes to boycott SEC institutions in certain southern states over redistricting disputes, as reported by Red State.

Jeffries, D-N.Y., who has led House Democrats since Rep. Nancy Pelosi stepped down from leadership in November 2022, made the remarks as Democrats look ahead to the November midterm elections and the possibility of reclaiming control of the House.

During the progressive panel, Jeffries said House Democrats view the current political moment as a fight against “MAGA extremists.”

Jeffries, who could become House speaker if Democrats take the majority, said that “part of how we as House Democrats view this moment, either MAGA extremists are going to break the country, or we’re going to break them, and our goal is to break them.”

He also predicted Democrats would retake the House.

“As a guarantee, we are taking back control of the United States House of Representatives in November,” Jeffries said.

“We will defeat them,” he continued. “We have to beat them electorally, and then we have to break their spirit, because of the extremism that’s being unleashed on the American people, that’s completely and totally unacceptable.”

James O’Keefe Confronts Woman Federally Charged For Illegally Paying People to Register to Vote on Skid Row 

James O’Keefe on Wednesday confronted the woman who was federally charged for illegally paying people to register to vote on Skid Row.

A woman who was caught on O’Keefe Media Group’s undercover camera illegally paying people to register to vote on Skid Row in Los Angeles, California, was federally charged this week.

The Justice Department on Monday announced that Brenda Lee Brown Armstrong was charged with one felony count of paying another person to register to vote. She is facing a max of five years in federal prison.

“False registrations undermine Americans’ faith in elections – even more so when payoffs are involved,” said Assistant Attorney General Harmeet K. Dhillon of the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division.

“This Justice Department is committed to ensuring that all U.S. elections are fair and free from illegal meddling – so that all Americans can accept the results with confidence,” she said.

The O’Keefe Media Group in March released its investigation into a California elections fraud cash for ballots scheme.

James O’Keefe and his team of journalists went undercover on Skid Row in Los Angeles, posing as homeless people.

‘Petitioners’ told the undercover journalists that they are paid between $7-$10 per signature. Some of them earn up to $1,000 per day.

“California NGOs Encourage Fake Addresses To Homeless People To Sign Petitions & Register Voters, A State & Federal Felony. Footage Shows 28 Instances Of Cash Changing Hands For Ballot Signatures & Voter Registration Forms,” they said.

Brenda Lee Brown did not want to speak on camera so she let O’Keefe into her apartment to talk off the record.

What This Graham Platner Adviser Just Said Will Leave You Aghast

I suppose you can’t criticize them for not avoiding the truth because they know Maine’s Graham Platner has baggage, but wow—what an academic and detached way of putting it.

Platner is expected to be the Democrat trying to unseat incumbent Republican Sen. Susan Collins. There’s the Nazi tattoo, the training with groups similar to Antifa, and a range of disturbing Reddit posts that were reportedly homophobic, with some mocking PTSD. I’m sure you’ve read Amy’s wild post about Platner by now: the man admitted to using a network compromised by the Taliban for phone sex during his deployment in Afghanistan in 2010-11. And how does his political team explain this behavior? 

Well, he’s a real guy, and that’s what voters want.

“When real people run for office, that embodies the good parts of it. It also embodies the realities that people live real lives,” said top advisor Morris Katz on Katy Tur’s program on MS Now. 

Yeah, Katz man, more often than not, that’s led voters to reject the candidate you described. Also, the Democratic Party isn’t the working class party. It’s comprised of rich, smug, and overeducated white college kids.

Democrats Are Betraying Black Voters. Imagine What They’d Do To America.

Picture this: A political party that spent 10 straight years screaming it alone could save American democracy from destruction, now caught on record ready to carve up the voting power of its most steadfast supporters just to claw back control.

That party is today’s Democrats, and the evidence should send a chill through every Republican and clear-thinking independent ahead of these midterms.

For a full decade, Democrat leaders positioned themselves as democracy’s last line of defense against Donald J. Trump and anyone who dared support him. This narrative powered their 2018 U.S. House takeover, fueled Joe Biden’s 2020 campaign, sustained his presidency, and defined Kamala Harris’s 2024 effort.

Even after crushing defeats in 2024, they kept sounding the alarm about threats to institutions and norms. Their Virginia maneuvers and fresh polling data now expose that entire pose as pure fraud.

Late last year, Democrats in the Virginia Legislature rammed through a constitutional amendment on strict party-line votes during a chaotic special session. The goal was simple: scrap the existing bipartisan redistricting rules so they could redraw congressional maps whenever they wanted, outside the usual census schedule.

They pushed it through a second time in 2026. The new lines turned Virginia’s fairly even 6-5 congressional split into a grotesque 10-1 Democrat lock. Nearly half the commonwealth’s voters back Republicans, and they would get just nine percent of the seats. Meanwhile, Democrats, with a slim electoral edge, would seize 91 percent.

Democrats put the referendum before voters on March 6, the very first day of early voting, under the slick slogan of restoring fairness. Early ballots made up roughly 45 percent of the total. The measure squeaked by with a 3.38 percent margin. Flip just half those votes and it would have lost.

The Virginia Supreme Court saw the con for what it was.

On May 8, Justice D. Arthur Kelsey delivered a ruling that killed the entire scheme. Democrats had voted on the amendment on October 31, 2025, after early voting for the general election was already underway and more than 1.3 million ballots had been cast. That timing directly violated Article XII, Section 1 of the Virginia Constitution, which demands two separate legislative sessions separated by a full House election. The court correctly tossed the process. Virginia’s lawful 2021 maps stay in place.

Former DOJ Attorney Indicted For Stealing Copy of Jack Smith’s Report on Trump’s Classified Docs Investigation

A former Miami-based DOJ attorney was indicted for stealing a copy of Jack Smith’s report on Trump’s classified documents investigation.

Carmen Lineberger, the former Managing Assistant US Attorney, in Fort Pierce, Florida, was indicted on two counts of theft of government money or property, valued less than $1,000; destruction, alteration, or falsification of records in federal investigations; and concealment, removal, or mutilation of public records.

Federal prosecutors alleged that Lineberger, 62, stole a copy of Jack Smith’s report, which was previously ordered by Judge Aileen Cannon to be kept secret, and sent it to her personal email account.

The indictment accuses Lineberger of sending the Jack Smith report to herself with misleading subject lines “chocolate cake recipe” and “bundt cake recipe.”

Lineberger pleaded not guilty on all four felony counts. She is facing more than 20 years in prison.

Per the DOJ:

The indictment alleges at the time of the offenses the defendant served as the Managing Assistant United States Attorney (MAUSA) of the Fort Pierce branch of the United States Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of Florida. In separate instances in late-2025, the defendant altered the electronic file names of government records that she received in her official capacity as the MAUSA in order to conceal her unauthorized electronic transmission of those records to personal email accounts belonging to her without being detected.

The altered government records included a document compiled by the defendant consisting of portions of internal DOJ electronic messages and an internal DOJ memorandum, and a DOJ report related to a criminal prosecution in the SDFL that had been court-ordered to remain under seal and prohibited from distribution or disclosure outside of DOJ.

As alleged in the indictment, the defendant concealed her actions by saving electronic copies of the government records in question under the misleading files names “chocolate cake recipe” and “bundt cake recipe” before electronically transmitting those records to her personal email accounts.

As to the DOJ report, the indictment further alleges the defendant acted knowing that her transmission of the record outside DOJ directly violated the court order and impaired the proper administration of the underlying criminal prosecution.

Lineberger appeared in federal court today for her arraignment before Southern District of Florida Chief United States Magistrate Judge William Matthewman in West Palm Beach, Florida.

If convicted, Lineberger faces up to twenty years’ imprisonment for destruction, alteration, or falsification of records in federal investigations, three years’ imprisonment for concealment, removal, or mutilation of public records, and up to one year imprisonment on each count of theft of government property valued at less than $1,000.

The case is being jointly investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Department of Justice, Office of the Inspector General. The case is being prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Christie S. Utt from the Northern District of Florida, who was assigned as a special prosecutor to avoid conflicts of interest with the investigation and prosecution of this matter.

MS NOW’s Sanders Townsend: Clyburn’s District ‘Looks Like It Was Gerrymandered’

On Tuesday’s broadcast of MS NOW’s “The Weeknight,” co-host Symone Sanders Townsend said that Rep. James Clyburn’s (D-SC) district “already looks like it was gerrymandered.”

While speaking with Clyburn, Sanders Townsend said, “Congressman, we have a map of the sixth congressional district that you currently represent, and we’re going to put it on the screen. Before the creation of this district, South Carolina had actually not elected a black representative to Congress for about 93 years, 1897, I believe. The district’s southern border touches Georgia. It goes around the center of Charleston. It cuts through Black Belt farmland to the state capital of Columbia. It contains the Gullah Geechee coastal homeland. The district is home to both of the state’s two historically black colleges — two of the state’s historically black colleges, and even some of the poorest people in the United States. That’s Barnwell County, Allendale County. It is rural. The district itself already looks like it was gerrymandered. I don’t understand how you represented people in Columbia and Charleston. So the way in which they are talking about eliminating this particular district and carving it up, I think it is, yes, about you, sir, but it’s also, specifically, about the voting power of black people to elect the representative of their choice.”

She then asked Clyburn about arguments from Republicans that he’s to the left of the state, which Clyburn answered by saying the state votes about 40% Democratic. Clyburn also stated that he gets votes from white voters as well.

The Steyer Smear

Billionaire Tom Steyer used his money to attack a lone climate researcher.

Roger Pielke Jr.’s research on climate and disaster policy wins awards and is cited by the United Nations’ Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.

“My views are entirely mainstream,” says Pielke. “My work is cited by all three working groups of the IPCC. There’s nothing contrarian.”

Both Steyer and Pielke agree that “greenhouse gases warm the climate,” but Pielke’s sin was saying, “it’s not the apocalypse.”

Because of that, “the Center for American Progress decided to make me a target,” he says.

The center is a lefty group that pushes climate hysteria, running articles claiming, “Climate change is fueling more deadly and destructive floods,” “Extreme weather is only intensifying,” etc.

Anyone who disagrees is labeled a “climate denier.”

Steyer, now running for governor of California, gave the center enough money to run hit piece after hit piece that describes Pielke’s work as “fantastical falsehoods,” and calls him a “disinformer” who “ignores the data on climate science.”

Pielke didn’t know who funded the smears until WikiLeaks revealed an email to Steyer from ThinkProgress’s editor: “Thanks for your support of this work … it’s fair to say, without Climate Progress, Pielke would still be writing on climate change.”

Think about that.

“Progressive” activists are proud to stop a researcher from writing about what he knows.

Pielke describes his persecution in my new video.

It began after Al Gore’s Oscar-winning movie in which Gore claimed that temperature increases create stronger storms.

Pielke had the nerve to disagree.

Disgusting: Democrat Senate Candidate Graham Platner’s Deleted Reddit Posts Mock Wounded Soldier Who Drew Enemy Fire Away from His Squad: Says He ‘Didn’t Deserve to Live’

The Gateway Pundit has reported on the disturbing Reddit posts unearthed from far-left Maine Democrat Senate candidate Graham Platner, including crude sexual remarks.

The Gateway Pundit further reported that concerns about Platner, a 41-year-old Marine veteran turned radical leftist, arose last year after it was revealed that one of his tattoos resembles the infamous Nazi SS Totenkopf skull and crossbones, and the Redditt revelations have only increased concerns about his fitness and ability to serve in office.

News outlets have reported on additional posts by Platner, which show him mocking rural white people, calling himself a communist, and calling Jesus a “zombie.”

Crude comments aside, perhaps one of the most disturbing Reddit threads uncovered concerns his temperament and ability to lead following comments toward a fellow American military brother who was wounded and almost killed in action.

Per Fox News:

“This video never gets old,” the Reddit account “P-Hustle” — which Platner has acknowledged he owned — posted in June 2019, in reference to a viral video from the helmet cam of Pfc. Ted Daniels taken during a clash with Taliban fighters in 2012 that ended in Daniels being shot four times.

He earned a Purple Heart for his injuries.

“Dumb motherf—–  didn’t deserve to live.

At least his stupidity and fat a– wheezing are available for all future infantrymen to witness and hold in contempt.

Poor marksmanship on the Taliban’s part is the only reason this mouthbreather made it home, he managed to make every possible s— decision possible when it comes to small unit combat.”

Although Platner mocked him, Pfc. Daniels, while serving in Kunar Province, Afghanistan, with the 4th Brigade, 4th Infantry Division, deliberately stepped into the open to draw Taliban fire away from the rest of his squad, which consisted of seven other soldiers.

So, the video that “never gets old’ for Platner is a brother in arms being shot multiple times by the Taliban and sustaining several injuries.

Canada’s Military Punished Whistleblowers Who Flagged Illegal COVID Speech Monitoring

The Canadian Armed Forces reprimanded soldiers who warned that an order to spy on citizens during COVID-19 could violate intelligence-gathering rules. The soldiers were right. The military punished them anyway.

Internal records and emails obtained by CBC News show that on March 11, 2020, a team called Joint Operational Effects (JOE) was ordered to create anonymous social media accounts and scour the internet for information about Canadians.

Under the direction of Col. Chris Henderson, the team produced dozens of reports between March 19 and June 5, tracking what the federal Conservative, NDP, and Bloc Québécois parties were saying about the pandemic.

The Canadian military was monitoring opposition political parties using anonymous accounts created specifically for surveillance.

At least two JOE team members pushed back. They emailed their chain of command, warning that creating anonymous accounts without authorization, while working from home on personal computers, could breach intelligence directives.

One soldier wrote to Maj. John Zwicewicz on March 12, 2020: “Given the sensitivity around social media and military use I have concerns about this.”

They added: “My concern is that by creating these accounts without following proper procedure would come close to, or cross the line set out in the policy.” Another asked to go into the office because they felt it “represented a serious risk” to do the work at home.

Zwicewicz claimed a legal adviser had approved the activities and ordered the group to “cease barrack room lawyering” and get back to work. The team was formally reprimanded more than a week after raising concerns. A source told CBC News that within months, some members quit or were medically released.

The people who raised alarms about potentially illegal surveillance of Canadian citizens got punished. The people who ordered the surveillance kept their positions.
