DISGRACEFUL: Far-Left Virginia Democrat Elaine Luria Dismisses Horrifying Rape Accusation Against Fellow Dem Graham Platner As Just A ‘Shiny New Thing’

The radical left’s “Believe All Women” mantra has officially been exposed as a total fraud yet again.

Former Congresswoman Elaine Luria had the audacity to dismiss explosive sexual assault allegations against Maine Democrat Senate candidate Graham Platner as nothing more than a Republican “boogeyman” and “shiny new thing” designed to scare people.

In an interview, Luria, who is running to reclaim Virginia’s 2nd Congressional District seat, brushed off the bombshell claims against her fellow Democrat while insisting she’s “singularly focused on this district” and her “proven record.”

Here’s what Luria said:

“I’m singularly focused on this district, the message of what’s important to people here in Virginia’s 2nd Congressional District. And they’re always going to try to find a boogeyman and tie, you know, the Democrat to whatever shiny new thing is going to scare people. But the truth is, is I have a proven record in Congress and I’m focused on listening to, supporting, and then representing those people across this district.”

The Push For A Robotic Workforce: Chris Murphy Introduces Bill For Massive Minimum Wage Hike

Sen. Chris Murphy has finally found a constituency that truly gets him. Robots and automated systems around the country likely whirled and beeped with approval as he introduced the Senate version of the Living Wage for All Act. At a time when workers are being replaced at record numbers due to the cheaper labor of automated systems and AI programs, Murphy moved to price out millions of more workers by increasing their costs.

The bill would increase the federal minimum wage from $7.25 to $25 per hour – a 245 percent increase – over 12 years. The far-left senator is following the lead of states like California, where Democrats dramatically cut jobs through such wage increases.

Murphy went on NBC to insist that he is “not a democratic socialist” but then attacked capitalism:

“[T]he Democratic Party has been historically way too timid in taking on corporate power. I think we have to understand that people do not believe that this version of capitalism has worked. And frankly, it hasn’t worked. … This version of capitalism isn’t working. Now, I make the argument in the book that we should embrace, you know, what I call a common good capitalism.”

He then added:

“And by the way, we can afford it. It’s not like we can’t pay a $25 minimum wage; we just choose not to because we’ve become okay with dozens and dozens of people in this country making hundreds of billions of dollars.”

It is not clear who the “we” is. While securing a law degree, Murphy has never run a business and has spent his life as a politician, spending other people’s money.

I previously wrote about wage hikes and the predictable loss of jobs that followed.

Democratic politicians from New York to California are pushing for a $30 minimum hourly wage for workers. Newsom, Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass, and Democratic legislators in California herald their mandatory increases as providing a “living wage” for workers. In Los Angeles, a law requires hourly wages in the hotel and airport industries to rise by $2.50 each year until they reach $30 in 2028.

There is no question that workers are struggling with the high cost of living in California. But blindly raising taxes and minimum wages will exacerbate these problems, not eliminate them.

A recent report by researchers at the University of California-Santa Cruz found evidence of precisely what many economists had warned about in the state’s mandatory wage floors. Stephen Owen, an economics lecturer, explained that they found “a plethora of negative outcomes, such as higher menu prices for consumers, reductions in employee working hours, widespread elimination of overtime, and loss of benefits for employees.”

Colombia: Presidential Transition Process Paused After Leftist Refuses to Accept Conservative Winner

Outgoing Marxist President of Colombia Gustavo Petro refused to acknowledge the victory of his successor, conservative President-elect Abelardo de la Espriella, on Monday because he allegedly “did not win” the election.

Petro claimed, without evidence, that “algorithmic fraud” with “foreign funding” was committed in the election and that his appointed successor, far-left Senator Iván Cepeda, is the “president of Colombia.” Despite Petro’s wild claims, local and international organizations have confirmed that de la Espriella is the legitimate winner of the free and fair election.

Gustavo Petro is Colombia’s first leftist president ever and a proud former member of the Marxist M19 terrorist group. Petro is presently in the final month of his four-year term, as he is set to leave office on August 7, 2026. On that day, President-elect de la Espriella will take office as the next head of state of the South American nation. Petro is term-limited and unable to run for president of Colombia, as the nation’s constitution strictly states that an elected president may only serve for one four-year term and cannot be reelected.

President-elect de la Espriella defeated Sen. Cepeda in the June 21 presidential runoff election. Electoral observers from international organizations such as the European Union and the Organization of American States (OAS) have endorsed the results and expressed that no irregularities were detected in the free and fair election. Colombia’s electoral system has been praised by international politicians — including American ones — for its transparency, efficacy, and expeditiousness, as it is capable of delivering rapid and precise vote counts within hours.

Despite the overwhelming endorsement of Colombia’s 2026 presidential election as a free and fair democratic event, President Petro has repeatedly claimed that “fraud” was committed in favor of de la Espriella during the process. Petro has also accused Israel of allegedly “compromising” the electoral results, based only on the dubious claim that it is “the only entity in the world capable of doing that.”

Most of Petro’s wild accusations — which he has yet to present evidence of at press time — target Thomas Greg & Sons, the private security company that administered the 2026 presidential election process. The company has an over six-decade-old presence in Colombia and has provided numerous services to the South American nation. Despite his refusal to acknowledge the defeat of his chosen far-left successor, Petro reluctantly announced the start of the transition process with the incoming de la Espriella administration in late June — an announcement he made in what is now known as one of his longest and most unhinged social media rants to date.

On Monday, however, Petro published a new diatribe claiming that “philosopher Iván Cepeda” was allegedly the actual “winner” of the June 21 runoff election and is thus the “President of Colombia according to the decision of the Colombians.”

Petro, who once again failed to present evidence to substantiate his “fraud” accusations, claimed to be in possession of information that, according to him, points to an “IP server located in Los Angeles, California, property of the Bautista brothers,” the owners of Thomas Greg & Sons. Said server, according to the outgoing president, was part of the vote-counting process and saw the use of “algorithms” that ” substantially skewed the vote in Abelardo’s favor.”

“The algorithms that rigged the election results were applied to the voter rolls by replacing voters who never vote with voters who could vote multiple times, or by leaving polling stations with homogeneous election committees without any voters at all,” Petro claimed in his rant.

“The polling stations in the area where Abelardo received 177,000 more votes than Cepeda have poll workers from Colombia who are not residents of the U.S. or Spain, which is illegal, as well as voters brought in for the World Cup who were able to cast seven votes at polling stations under the names of people who never vote,” he added.

“The same thing happened in several regions of Antioquia and Medellín, in Norte de Santander, and at polling stations in northern Bogotá. That’s why my son found out that someone had already voted in his name,” he continued.

“The president of Colombia does not recognize the legitimacy of the incoming government. Abelardo did not win the election,” Petro wrote, calling upon his supporters to “to raise the cry for national independence in all public squares” on July 20 — a date he had previously marked for his “early farewell” rally.

President-elect de la Espriella responded to Petro’s claims by ordering the suspension of the handover transition process between his team and Petro’s “corrupt government,” accusing the outgoing Petro administration of seeking to “destroy Colombia” with its actions. De la Espriella emphasized that his duty is to protect Colombia’s interests and guarantee a “serious, transparent transition at the service of Colombians, never to legitimize the disaster or the disregard for the constitutional order.”

“This [Tuesday] morning, I will address the Nation through my social media to explain to all Colombians the reasons for this decision and the measures I will take immediately,” he wrote in a Tuesday morning social media post.

De la Espriella has not publicly commented further on the matter at press time.

BEYOND PARODY: Candidate Maine Leftists Want to Replace Graham Platner With Has Allegations Against HIM TOO

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.

Breitbart News reports:

Leftist Group Reveals Troubling Allegation Against Potential Platner Replacement

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…

Given this, the far-left group Progressive Victory is seeking out other candidates. However, they have run into some trouble with one possibility, Troy Jackson, former president of the Maine Senate…

“In our discussions we have received troubling information about not only Jackson’s behavior, but the behavior of many prominent Maine Democrats toward women more broadly,” it continued, revealing that Jackson allegedly struck a female colleague with a bottle. “Both as a result of the credibility of the sources and in the interest of not seeing our movement make the same mistake twice, we are choosing to share some of this now.”

“As Maine Senate President in a state senate caucus meeting several years ago, Troy Jackson in a heated disagreement struck a female colleague with a bottle he threw at her,” the group said. “There are many witnesses, and it appears this is a widespread open secret within Maine politics and not an isolated incident. This information is still developing and we will provide updates in a thread in the comments of this post as we receive it.”

Left wing activists must have come after this group for badmouthing Troy Jackson, because they have taken the posts down and added an update with an apology.

Dana Perino Just Exposed the Real Reason Democrats Turned on Graham Platner

I’ve been a fan of Dana Perino since she served as White House press secretary for George W. Bush, and boy, did she nail it on The Five Tuesday while talking about the Graham Platner situation.

Platner’s campaign is imploding after Politico reported a sexual assault allegation against him on Monday. Even though Platner calls the allegation “categorically untrue,” establishment Democrats are finally ready to cut him loose, because, you know, everything else that had come out about him apparently wasn’t enough.

Perino zeroed in on how The New York Times handled the story before it exploded. She explained that the accuser handed the paper five sources to corroborate her account. The Times contacted only two of them, who vouched for her character, and left it there.

“They didn’t call the other three, the other three who had the contemporaneous notes from when she had detailed it,” Perino said. “So the New York Times, they call it like a catch and kill thing, right? There’s like, oh, let’s try to bury this.”

Then Perino raised the question Democrats would prefer nobody ask. “So when did the Democrats actually start to care?” she said. The answer had nothing to do with conscience. I’ve said before that this had nothing to do with the allegations and everything to do with the polls. Perino agrees.

“It’s because the recent polling shows that Graham Platner was going to lose to Susan Collins,” Perino said. “And they thought, wow, we only have two weeks to figure this out.”

New Yorkers Are Already Mad at Mamdani, and He’s Just Getting Started

Far be it from me to pick on a young and inexperienced new mayor still learning the ins and outs of big-city governance, but New York’s Zohran Mamdani is a loathsome Commie-Islamist, so that’s exactly what I’m going to do. 

Besides, I get the feeling that he and his team — which I learned yesterday includes a Deputy Mayor for Economic Justice — know just enough already to do all the damage they intend to do to one of the world’s greatest cities.

So here’s the background you need to know before we get to the part that NYC’s socialist overlords dig the most: rationing stuff. After intense lobbying by then-governor Andrew Cuomo at the behest of various lefty groups, Indian Point 2 shut down in 2020, and Indian Point 3 in 2021. (Indian Point 1 was older, smaller, and less capable, and was shut down for those and technical reasons in 1974).

Those two units once provided metropolitan New York City with about 25% of its electricity, all of it clean, baseload power, available 24/7. As originally designed, IP2 was supposed to generate power until 2033, and IP3 until 2035.

The Manhattan Institute’s Robert Bryce warned in 2017 that “Closing Indian Point threatens the reliability of the electric grid serving downstate New York, leading to higher power costs and potential energy shortages.”

Nevertheless, they persisted. 

New York semi-sorta replaced Indian Point’s generation with natural gas (“Ew, emissions!”), so-called renewables with flaky reliability (unlike nuclear’s high baseload), and energy imports from Canada and neighboring states.

Baseload power is vital because it’s always there, and it doesn’t require time to spin up when the inevitable heat wave hits — like it did last week. Energy isn’t just more expensive without it; production margins are tighter, risking blackouts during peak demand.

Speaking of peak demand, how’d that Taylor Swift/Travis Kelce wedding go? It was great, provided you’re a member of the nomenklatura. For regular New Yorkers, already struggling with the heat, it was not so great.

“New York residents are furious at Zohran Mamdani over power restrictions,” Wall Street Apes reported on Monday. “Con Edison implemented 8% voltage reductions in parts of Queens, Brooklyn, the Bronx and northern Manhattan. This means residents have to deal with things like slightly [dim] lights and appliances not working at full power.”

Meet The New Democratic Party: Socialists Say The Quiet Part Out Loud, Want To “Destroy America From Within”

The Democratic Socialists of America are quickly gaining power within the Democratic Party, winning a string of high-profile House primary races in recent weeks.

After wins in New York and Colorado, DSA organizers are shifting resources toward Michigan and Wisconsin, where Abdul El-Sayed is running in a highly contested Democratic primary for U.S. Senate, and DSA-backed Francesca Hong is seeking the Democratic nomination for Wisconsin governor.

Politico noted that DSA is planning to deploy prominent socialists, including Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Rep. Rashida Tlaib, and far-left streamer Hasan Piker, to help energize supporters ahead of the August primaries.

Democrats are now facing a massive internal power struggle after years of allowing socialists and Marxists into their DEI kingdom.

The rhetoric now is mostly openly anti-American, hostile to capitalism, supportive of abolishing jails, pushing racism, disdainful of the Constitution, and increasingly dependent on voter blocs shaped by years of mass-migration policies.

What was once a center-left party built around labor, civil rights, and working-class citizens is now being pulled into a radical left revolutionary movement, apparently influenced by foreign subversion operations that seek the destruction of the U.S., hence the anti-American rhetoric.

These DSA and allied activists are using primary wins, urban power centers, and left-wing NGO infrastructure to push Democrats further left ahead of the next election cycle.

X user Canary Mission has published a video showcasing the new faces of the Democratic Party: DSA members who describe exactly what the intention of the socialist movement is – destroying America from deep within.

Trump Cultism Is Just a Modern-Day Operation Trust: Why ‘Trust the Plan’ Is a PSYOP For the Weak-Minded

The Same Old Lie, New Packaging

Over the last 10 years or so, I have watched the “trust the plan” mantra sweep through the MAGA faithful like a religious revival. It is a direct replica of the Soviet Operation Trust, a psychological operation designed to keep people passive and compliant while their enemies consolidate power.

The original Operation Trust, which ran from 1921 to 1926, tricked anti-Bolshevik exiles into believing a fake resistance movement would overthrow the regime — all to prevent real action and to expose anyone who might actually fight back. As I previously reported, this Bolshevik psyop created a phantom organization that promised imminent salvation, but delivered only betrayal and inaction. [1]

Today, QAnon followers and Trump loyalists are fed the exact same story: wait for mass arrests, a golden age, and a savior. Nothing ever materializes, but the excuses keep coming. The pattern is so obvious that even mainstream observers have noted the resemblance. [1] The most disturbing part is how the same psychological manipulation that kept Russians docile in the 1920s now keeps many Americans trapped in a cycle of hope and disappointment. I believe this is not a coincidence — it is a deliberate strategy refined over a century.

Operation Trust: A Soviet Blueprint for Inaction

Let me break down the original Operation Trust so you can see how perfectly it maps onto today’s Trump cult. The Bolsheviks, facing collapse after the Russian Civil War, invented a fake anti-communist organization called the “Monarchist Union of Central Russia” — fronted by a former tsarist official — to pacify opponents. The message was clear: “You don’t have to do anything — just trust the plan.” Any dissidents who demanded real action were labeled traitors or infiltrators. [1] This is exactly what we hear today from influencers pushing the idea that Trump’s every failure is part of a grand strategy we cannot see.

We’re just supposed to trust it. Even when the Trump regime pushes mass glyphosate poisoning, new pesticides, more vaccines and more wars.

The Soviet GPU ran this operation for five years, draining the energy of genuine resistance movements while maintaining the illusion that victory was just around the corner. [1] David Icke documented how the same Sabbatian control system uses leaders as fall-guys to divide and pacify populations. [2] The parallel is unmistakable: the message “trust the plan” is not a promise of deliverance — it is a tool of psychological pacification that keeps believers glued to their screens instead of taking real action.

Trump’s Record: Broken Promises and a Financial Looting

Let’s look at what the plan has actually delivered. Trump promised to end wars, but he started a new war with Iran that has already cost trillions (globally) and destabilized the Middle East. [3] He promised to drain the swamp, but his administration granted immunity to glyphosate poisoners, approved toxic forever chemicals, and made no arrests of election fraudsters or Fauci. [4]

The Saudi Crown Prince lost confidence in Trump after the U.S. failure in Iran, and even Iran’s negotiator mocked his “Operation Trust Me Bro.” [5] [6] Every excuse from believers — “It’s part of the plan” — is just a delay tactic to keep them docile.

Meanwhile, the Epstein files vanished, the J6 prisoners remain in jail, and Trump’s DOJ floated NDAs for federal employees to suppress leaks. [7] [8] The promise of mass arrests and accountability has become a cruel joke. I have documented how Trump’s war with Iran was an unconstitutional act that shattered the republic. [4] The believers refuse to see that “trust the plan” is the oldest con in the book: keep your marks hoping for tomorrow while you loot them today.

Why People Still Believe: The Addiction to Hopium

Years of missed deadlines — the quantum financial system, the Q drops, the mass arrests — should have broken the spell, but followers cling to numerology and new dates. This is a psychological addiction: hoping feels better than facing reality. As Aaron Day exposed in his investigation of quantum deception scams, these con artists maintain suspense by constantly delaying the promised reset or payouts, thereby securing ongoing subscription revenue. [9] The same blueprint is used in fake churches and crypto scams; it is a method of extracting compliance and money from desperate people. [9]

The global elite know that hopium keeps people mentally sick, unable to question the narrative, and they shun anyone who points out the obvious con. Geddes Martin wrote about how the entrenched two-tier justice system and endemic corruption depend on a passive population that believes salvation will come from above. [10] I have seen this cycle destroy families who gave everything to the cause, only to be left bankrupt and betrayed. The addiction to false hope is the most dangerous drug of all.

The Alternative: Act, Don’t Just Trust

Real empowerment comes from taking concrete action. I never tell you to sit back and do nothing — I give you steps that increase your resilience: grow your own food, stack gold and silver, use decentralized tools, and prepare for collapse. [11] [12] In my interview with David Morgan, we discussed how silver and gold are the most honest forms of money in a world of fiat collapse. [11] Building a solar system, a home garden, and a stockpile of clean water and non-perishable food are tangible acts that no government can take from you.

If someone tells you to sit back and trust, that is the biggest red flag. The same pattern appears in fake churches that demand tithes while the pastor lives in luxury, and in crypto scams that promise astronomical returns. [9] I have seen too many people lose everything because they waited for a false savior. Do not be one of them. Place your trust in your own hands, your own knowledge, and your own ability to provide for yourself and your family.

REPORT: Zohran Mamdani is BIG MAD at ‘The View’ After A Host Correctly Called One of His DSA Candidates an Antisemite

Zohran Mamdani is reportedly steaming mad at ‘The View’ because one of the hosts referred to Darializa Avila Chevalier, the DSA nominee for New York’s 13th congressional district, an antisemite.

Truth hurts, huh?

One of the central pillars of the DSA is their pathological hatred of Israel, and by extension, Jews. Their exclamation of ‘Free Palestine’ is nothing more than a euphemism for the destruction of Israel.

FOX News reports:

Mamdani aide unloaded on ABC executives after ‘The View’ host called socialist candidate an antisemite: report

An aide to New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani reportedly lashed out at ABC executives after “The View” co-host Sara Haines called a Mamdani-backed socialist congressional candidate an antisemite.

Mamdani flexed his political influence last month after three candidates that he endorsed in New York congressional primaries — Brad Lander, Claire Valdez and Darializa Avila Chevalier — won over Democratic establishment candidates.

The New York City mayor’s team had pitched the liberal talk show to have the socialist candidates on, but the show had declined, according to Semafor.

During an episode of the show on June 24, co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin and Haines pushed back on the actions and comments of some of the candidates backed by Mamdani. Haines said Chevalier was at an anti-Israel rally on October 8, 2023, the day after Hamas’ massive terrorist attack against Israel by Hamas.

“I’m gonna full-blown call her an antisemite. She would proudly call herself that, trust me,” Haines said of Chevalier.

Following the comments, an aide for the socialist mayor reportedly unloaded on ABC executives, and said the remarks by Haines could affect future appearances on the show for the mayor or the candidates running for Congress, according to Semafor, who cited a person familiar with the matter.

Ken Paxton Vowed to Crack Down on “Illegal Voting.” He May Have Violated Texas Election Law.

Two weeks before this year’s primary elections, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton announced the creation of a tip line for the public to report people or groups suspected of voter fraud.

“Free and fair elections are a cornerstone of a thriving republic, and with the authority granted to my office by the Legislature, we will stop at nothing to uncover and stop any illegal voting activity,” Paxton said in a February news release announcing the tip line.

The announcement linked to guidance from his office about election laws in Texas, which included a requirement to be a U.S. citizen, a prohibition on collecting mail ballots on behalf of others and a warning that “it is illegal to misrepresent your residence on election records or to establish a residence for the purpose of influencing the outcome of an election.”

“You must register to vote using the address where you reside,” the attorney general’s guidance stated.

Despite his own warnings, Paxton appears to have used an address where he did not live while voting in six elections in the past two years, including in May’s runoff that made him the Republican nominee for U.S. senator, according to records obtained by ProPublica and The Texas Tribune.

State Sen. Angela Paxton said in a 2025 divorce filing that Paxton, whom she accused of adultery, moved out of their Collin County home a year earlier. But Paxton continues to list the home’s address in the northern Dallas suburb on his voter registration. Angela Paxton declined to be interviewed. A source close to the Paxtons said the attorney general has not moved back into the home since leaving.

It is unclear where Paxton has lived for the past two years, but reporting by ProPublica and the Tribune has linked him to a home in neighboring Denton County since February.
