In response to a video of an American soldier being shot four times by the Taliban, Platner posted the following on Reddit in 2019 — via Magdi Jacobs of the Editorial Board

“This video never gets old. Dumb motherf***er didn’t deserve to live. At least his stupidity and fat ass 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 sh** decision possible when it comes to small unit combat.”

The context:

The man that Platner is commenting on, by the way, is Pfc. Ted Daniels, who was a 37-year-old father of two serving in Afghanistan at the time of the incident (2012). The bad tactic Platner enjoys mocking? Daniels stepped into the open deliberately to draw Taliban fire away from his fellow soldiers so his squad could get to safety.

Imagine how much you would have to hate this country to put people like Platner in charge of it.

The Maine Monitor has the complete collection of his reddit posts:

The collection spans more than a decade — from when Platner was ages 24 to 37 — and provides a rare glimpse into the thinking of a candidate at a time when he betrayed no political ambitions and could not have known how future voters might have viewed his online commentary.

Platner stated outright at age 37:

“I got older and became a communist.”

He offered the following advice to women to prevent being raped:

“Holy f***, how about people just take some responsibility for themselves and not get so f***ed up they wind up having sex with someone they don’t mean to? Men and women, you make a choice to consume enough of a substance to lose your self control. So if you don’t want to be in a comprising situation, act like an adult for f***s sake.”

This from the guy who blames being drunk for getting a Nazi tattoo.

Considering the tattoo, no one will be surprised that Platner has referred to Israel’s self-defense against Hamas as “genocide” — a favorite talking point of the hard left and horseshoe right.

The New York Post reports:

Italian-American community leaders in Baltimore are livid after vandals plunked a toilet down on the site of a Christopher Columbus statue that was hurled into the Inner Harbor by protesters in 2020.

Though his staunchest defenders are those who share his Italian background, Columbus has been revered for centuries by everyone who appreciates the benefits of this heroic adventurer spreading civilization to the previously savage Western Hemisphere, making America possible.

Officials were tipped off about the “inappropriate” display last week, when passersby reported that the pedestal that once held the discoverer’s likeness was now topped by a white porcelain toilet, the Little Italy Neighborhood Association of Baltimore said on Facebook.

This is appropriate, considering that down the toilet is where leftists will flush American history and civilization along with it.

Fox News reports:

Wilson, a self-proclaimed socialist, recently went viral for laughing off the exodus of billionaires and business leaders from her city, saying, “I think the claims that millionaires are going to leave our state are super overblown,” and adding, “the ones that leave? Like, bye.”

Now, less than five months into Wilson’s term, Seattle Democratic Councilmember Rob Saka admitted to the New York Times, “I am gravely concerned,” telling the outlet, “This is real.”

Just recently, Saka was a fan, barking leftist talking points about “affordability, community, and fighting back against a resurgent Trump agenda” in support of Katie Wilson.

Frontpage quotes the Islamomaniac:

“F***ing Christian bastards. You and your Jesus Christ on the cross, I’ll burn it.”

El Koudri knows how to win the affection of the liberal establishment:

“I am bullied, marginalized, and I live in a country of racists.”

The heart bleeds.

El Koudri is a Moroccan who was born in Italy and holds Italian citizenship. Despite the usual prevaricating on behalf of Islam by the media and local officials and meaningless duckspeak from Giorgia Meloni,

Transport Minister Matteo Salvini said what needed to be said, warning that ‘second generation’ Islamic colonists like El Koudri were even worse than the first generation.

As Salvini observes,

“Certain people are absolutely unintegrable; there’s no point in anyone denying the dramatic evidence for ideological reasons.”

Gratitude is as likely as assimilation:

Italy gave him a degree in economics. Gave his Moroccan Muslim immigrant parents free housing. Gave them free health care. And in return, El-Koudri couldn’t be bothered to hold down a job, hated Italy and carried out an Islamic terrorist attack.

The problem the West has created for itself by allowing Islamic infiltration will continue to unfold for generations. Anyone who remembers Lebanon in the 1980s knows what Europe will look like as the cancer metastasizes.

A 66-year-old U.K. pastor arrested while street preaching in London, said he is facing hate speech-related charges for preaching the Bible and speaking out against Islam.

The thought criminal is Pastor Steve Maile.

For 45 years, the New Zealand native has preached and performed mission work globally. …

However, a complaint led to his arrest while he was preaching on a high street in Watford on April 18. According to the Christian Legal Centre, which is supporting Maile’s case, he was singing and preaching a gospel message for about 10 minutes when he discussed Islam’s history of violence and called on Muslims to be saved by Jesus.

Uninformed thugs put him in painful handcuffs, mocked him, and bizarrely told him he was being arrested for assaulting a child.

Maile said he was detained for 12 hours without his phone and was not allowed to use the restroom.

They dropped the nonsense about assaulting a child, but…

Maile remains under investigation for an alleged public order offense.

Expressing viewpoints that moonbats and/or Muslims don’t like is illegal:

Under U.K. law, a person can be found guilty of a Section 5 offense if they use threatening or abusive words likely to cause “harassment, alarm, or distress.” While it typically results in a fine, a “religiously aggravated” charge can carry more severe penalties.

“Religiously aggravated” presumably means anti-Muslim, though it might also mean pro-Christian. Either way,

Maile noted he could face months or even years of imprisonment.

Hungarian Conservative provides confirmation from Europe:

Ahead of the International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia and Transphobia (IDAHOT) on 17 May, multiple official EU accounts—including the European Commission and the European Parliament—published synchronized posts promoting LGBTQ rights and the bloc’s new LGBTIQ+ Equality Strategy 2026–2030.

As always, progressive social engineers framed LGBTification in terms of civil rights, characterized favored sexual deviants as somehow victimized, and egged them on to be more aggressively demonstrative. For example:

The Commission’s Justice and Consumers official account declared in a post on Facebook: ‘To be seen. To be safe. To be themselves,’ adding that ‘equality must be lived, not only stated.’ …

The official European Commission account echoed the messaging almost word-for-word, stating: ‘Everyone deserves to be seen. Everyone deserves to be safe,’ while adding that the EU ‘protect[s] what matters – freedoms and rights.’

President of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen has repeatedly pledged her full support of sexual deviancy as a lifestyle.

Europe’s left-wing ruling class does not stop at propaganda to achieve its objectives:

In Poland, the country registered its first legally recognized same-sex marriage earlier this month…

As Americans know from Obergefell, once the sanctity of marriage falls, the floodgates open to all manner of sickness.

Brussels Pride hosted its 30th anniversary edition on Saturday, drawing tens of thousands of participants and receiving strong institutional backing from EU bodies and officials. …

Just a month earlier, the Court of Justice of the European Union ruled that Hungary’s 2021 child protection act, prohibiting LGBTQ-related content from being promoted to minors in media, violated EU law and breached the bloc’s core values.

With Big Government, advocacy soon gives way to tyranny:

The broader framework behind the current campaign is the European Commission’s LGBTIQ+ Equality Strategy 2026–2030, which seeks to integrate LGBTQ equality policies across multiple EU policy areas, strengthen anti-discrimination enforcement, and increase EU-level coordination on issues such as hate speech, gender identity recognition, and conversion therapy bans. The Commission also recently announced plans to push for an EU-wide ban on conversion therapy practices.

A ban on conversion therapy would criminalize providing constructive therapy to those struggling with perverse urges and gender confusion.

This begs the question, Why are ruling elites hell-bent on imposing homosexuality and transsexualism?

The @EU_Commission is PROUD

Pride week is a celebration of love, identity, courage and community.

The New York Post reports:

A mob of teenagers descended on a Chipotle in Washington’s Navy Yard over the weekend and, at some point, started throwing punches — and furniture, according to jarring videos shared by witnesses.

They don’t make “teenagers” like they did back in the days of Archie Comics.

Extrapolate from current trends and the America of the future will be no place you would want to bring your kids:

One teen ran up behind another and hit him over the head with [a] highchair while a little girl cowered off to the side in her father’s arms…

We haven’t achieved utopia yet, because liberals have so far failed to achieve their objective of defunding local police. Cops showed up and sent the savages scurrying before they could destroy the whole neighborhood.

Where are the parents? Have any of the kids been charged?

Marina Volz, 37, a biological male born Matthew, is serving a 25-year sentence at the Edna Mahan Correctional Facility for Women in Clinton, N.J. for filming sadistic pornography of his own 7-year-old daughter.

Volz claims to be Wiccan and sued the prison, the New Jersey Department of Corrections and head of religious services Dr. Joy Lynch in 2023 for religious discrimination…

Followers of the Wiccan pseudo-religion call themselves witches.

Volz is in settlement talks with the New Jersey Attorney General’s office. Among his demands are that he be allowed to conduct rituals “skyclad” (i.e., naked) and that he be provided with Wiccan paraphernalia and “ritualistic foodstuff for consumption” on Wiccan holidays.

If transsexual convicts can demand sex change surgery at taxpayer expense, why not?

In addition,

Volz demands he be allowed to marry his transgender accomplice in the child sex abuse case, Ashley Romero, a biological man.

Love is love, as liberals triumphantly remind us.

Apparently the point of getting “married” is so they can share a cell.

The two were convicted in 2022, along with Sean Allen, who lived with them at their Franklin, N.J. home, for operating a “pornography production studio specializing in amateur, BDSM and taboo fetish content.”

Volz and Romero abducted his 7-year-old daughter from her mother in Oregon and brought her to New Jersey to take part in productions.

Romero was seen sexually abusing the girl with another man in videos the trio produced, and Allen was also filmed abusing the girl.

At least eight people were injured Saturday in Modena, Italy when a crazed driver rammed his car into a crowd at full speed — and then knifed a hero who stopped him when he tried to flee following his cowardly act.

The man has been identified by authorities as Salim el Koudri, a 31-year-old Italian citizen of Moroccan origin.

They don’t make Italian citizens like they used to. This is because ever fewer are made in Italy.

One of his victims will likely have both legs amputated after he pinned her between his car and the front of a store — assuming she survives.

The motive is unknown. By now, we can guess.

South Carolina’s Lancaster County Council voted unanimously last week to deny a conditional-use permit for a proposed Islamic Mosque and community center in the Indian Land area after angry residents passionately spoke out against it.

The rejection came after more than two hours of intense public testimony in which multiple residents warned that the mosque would import Sharia law and represent an ideological takeover incompatible with American values.

Fourteen centuries of Islamic aggression against the rest of the world has made an impression. As a resident puts it,

“I just want to say this is not about a place of worship. This is not about religion. Islam is not a religion; it’s a takeover.”

It is much easier to resist at the beginning than it would be at the end.
