My summary: Progressives have progressed to radical leftism. They don't really care about the message; all they care about is absolute power over others. This is why it feels it can run a N**i/Communist.

The things Progressives keep getting wrong are the policies they embrace. The majority of people do not share their vision of the world.

The guy could win, maybe, because his opposition is Susan Collins. But he's a fraud and what he represents works nowhere except maybe in New York City and the left coast. Graham Platner, a working-class Marine veteran and oysterman, tries to blend proletarian authenticity with uncompromising left-wing social stances (e.g., on immigration and trans rights). He actually has an upper middle-class background which including private school.

The strategy assumes economic populism can override voter opposition to progressive ideas but ignores that moderation wins elections, at least in Maine. Extreme positions handicap candidates in swing districts, though they thrive in safe partisan ones. This is a state campaign, not an AOC district.

He garners support from Bernie Sanders and certain media and podcasters despite self-identifying as a Communist, implying political violence, calling all cops "bastards," deriding rural whites as "racist and stupid," downplaying sexual assault, mocking gay people, and sporting a skull-and-crossbones tattoo tied to N**i SS imagery, yet, defenders portray him as a "normal guy with skeletons" and critics as uptight moralists.

In a town hall, Platner brushed off voter frustration over benefits for undocumented immigrants as misinformation, pivoting to affordability issues while doubling down on LGBTQIA+ advocacy. But this ignores voter sentiment, in Maine and across the nation as a whole. Platner is now disavowing things he posted on social media four years ago but is he reformed, or simply trying to shore up votes?

The progressive donor network Way to Win recently held a conference in Washington, D.C., to advocate for the left-wing blueprint for regaining power. Conclusion: The conference’s argument was that the party cannot compromise any of its left-wing social-policy commitments, as this would amount to “throwing constituencies under the bus.” Sounds like a recipe for loss to me.

Growing up, I wasn’t exactly a model kid, bad one actually. I recited the Pledge of Allegiance every morning, mumbled through the morning prayer at school, shuffled into church, goofed off in Cub Scouts before quitting, and halfheartedly served on safety patrol.

Back then, I paid little attention to these rituals, my mind was elsewhere, probably on baseball or getting into scrapes with others and living on the edge of the law.

But looking back, I wonder if those moments, which seemed so routine, quietly built the foundation for the patriotism and values I hold today. As a “good” person now, shaped by my philosophy and theology studies, I believe those early experiences planted seeds of duty, community, and love for country, even if I didn’t notice it at the time.

So, how can we guide kids today to develop a sense of patriotism? Here’s what I’ve learned, blending my story with ideas to inspire the next generation in a world that’s changed since my post-WWII childhood. Maybe my story is anecdotal. Maybe the seeds are subtly planted by our parents, family, friends, others around us; maybe it's what we need to do. I believe so-now.

Pathethic!

“I don’t condone violence of any kind, and I certainly don’t condone this, but he was a horrible person, a fascist full of hate for anyone who was different. While I’m sad that we live in a country where gun violence is an epidemic, the world is a bit safer without him.”

This verse seems to be one of the more straightforward ones in the Bible and is a core tenet of Christianity with little explanation necessary. It reminds us of the importance of faith in approaching God, emphasizing belief in His existence and trust in His promise to reward those who sincerely seek Him.

1925-2025: June Lockhart, the celebrated actress who made her stage debut at just 8-years-old and was known for her iconic roles in “Lassie” and "Lost in Space," died at 100 of natural causes. Her daughter and granddaughter were by her side.

I first remember her as Ruth Martin on Lassie. Dr. Craig on Petticoat Junction, and my favorite, where I discovered she was a babe, as Maureen Sullivan on Lost in Space.

RIP June

Oh, boy! Another chance to shriek "MISOGYNY!" and "RACISM!" and rant and rave and p**s 'n' moan about how it sucks to be a black woman in America when she loses.
