The many donors out there to the Graham Platner Senate campaign who might be upset about the incredibly poor vetting that was performed on their candidate might be interested to know about evidence of malfeasance and corruption by one of the primary vetters that has just been revealed by an interesting source. And that source is someone familiar to longtime readers of NewsBusters. None other than Mike Elk (pictured) who earned the reputation as perhaps the most lethargic labor reporter in the world but definitely at Politico where he briefly worked about ten years ago. However, despite his reputation for…

On Wednesday’s Morning Joe, Mika Brzezinski served up a shocking bit of selective skepticism as scandals continued to engulf Maine Democratic Senate nominee Graham Platner. After John Heilemann stated that Platner had “lied” to prominent Democrats like Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders in saying that no more damaging revelations were coming, Brzezinski jumped in. “All right. Well, first of all, just to one of the points Heilemann made, we don’t know if he lied to Democratic leaders. Nevertheless, these accusations are out there. And they they are having a very profound effect, that is for sure.” Mika was clearly leaving…
Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear is calling on Senator Mitch McConnell to publicly disclose more about his health after the longtime Republican lawmaker remained out of public view for nearly three weeks following his hospitalization in Washington. In a letter released Wednesday, Beshear said Kentuckians deserve more information about McConnell’s condition and his ability to continue serving in office. “Kentuckians have grown increasingly concerned about the current state of your health and well-being, and ability to hold office,” Beshear wrote. McConnell, 84, was hospitalized June 14 and has not released a public statement, photo or video since then. His aides have…
The Trump administration says it has uncovered a dramatic increase in Medicare claims for tissue and organ transplants, resulting in a broad crackdown on suspected fraud that officials say has already blocked hundreds of millions of dollars in questionable payments. Administration officials said Medicare claims for tissue and organ transplants, known as allografts, climbed from $200 million in 2019 to $14.4 billion in 2025—a 7,100 percent increase. The surge led the White House Anti-Fraud Task Force, headed by Vice President JD Vance, and the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services to intensify their review of claims. Since March, the agency…
President Donald Trump said Wednesday that the United States would halt trade with Spain, calling the country a “terrible partner in NATO” and accusing Madrid of refusing to meet the alliance’s defense obligations. Trump made the remarks while meeting with NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte at the alliance’s summit in Ankara, Turkey. The president turned to Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and directed him to move immediately. .@POTUS: “Spain is a wasted cause. We don’t want to do any trade business with Spain anymore by the way… Spain is a terrible partner in NATO. They don’t participate, they don’t pay. I don’t…
Canada’s picturesque Sea to Sky Highway from Vancouver to Whistler, British Columbia, stretches 75 miles through soaring scenery. One of my favorite drives, the route takes travelers from sea level to an elevation of 2,200 feet, with nearby peaks rising more than four times higher. Canada’s economic ascent during the latter part of the 20th century was similarly impressive. The country remained one of the world’s strongest economies through the global recession of 2009. But things took a different turn over the past decade. With the rise of climate politics, the anti-fossil fuel Paris Agreement and the accompanying net-zero movement…
The American economy grew by 2 percent during the first three months of 2026, hardly the picture of collapse that critics of the Trump administration keep promising is just around the corner. The country has not tanked under Donald Trump, not even with tariffs in place. Trump has been accused of putting black women out of work by cutting positions in the federal government, and it is true that federal cuts have hit black women disproportionately since they have historically been overrepresented in the federal workforce. But the federal government is not, and was never meant to be, a jobs…
By the rude bridge that arched the flood,Their flag to April’s breeze unfurled,Here once the embattled farmers stood,And fired the shot heard round the world. The foe long since in silence slept;Alike the conqueror silent sleeps;And Time the ruined bridge has sweptDown the dark stream which seaward creeps.On this green bank, by this soft stream,We set to-day a votive stone;That memory may their deed redeem,When, like our sires, our sons are gone.Spirit, that made those heroes dareTo die, and leave their children free,Bid Time and Nature gently spareThe shaft we raise to them and thee. — “Concord Hymn” by Ralph…
Following the season, one of baseball’s greatest pitchers ever will be retiring from the game. Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Justin Verlander, a winner of three Cy Young Awards, made the announcement Wednesday that his last campaign of Major League Baseball will be here in 2026.Currently in the middle of a season that’s riddled with injuries, Verlander made the decision that it’s time to step away.

A federal judge in Atlanta blocked the Justice Department from obtaining the names and personal contact information of every person who worked during the 2020 election in Georgia’s Fulton County, ruling the grand jury subpoena “unreasonable” and declaring the DOJ has no right to use its investigative powers for purposes untethered to any chargeable crime.U.S. District Judge William Ray issued his written ruling Tuesday, quashing the subpoena the DOJ had obtained in April. The order marks a sharp judicial rebuke of the department’s investigative approach, and it came from a judge appointed by President Trump in 2018. At the heart…
An ICE officer shot and killed a Mexican national in Houston on Tuesday after the man allegedly rammed a federal vehicle and tried to run over an agent during a targeted immigration enforcement operation, according to a report detailing the fatal encounter. The man, identified as Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, was transported to a hospital, where he died of his injuries.ICE described the shooting as an act of self-defense. The agency said Salgado Araujo attempted to evade arrest, struck a law enforcement vehicle, ignored verbal commands, and then turned his car into a weapon aimed at an officer on foot. His…
Becky Small spent more than a week begging doctors to take her symptoms seriously. Two general practitioners in Hampshire sent her home, one with medication for inflammation, the other with pills for a stomach bug. Neither ordered imaging. Neither ran blood work. By the time the 33-year-old mother of three drove herself to an accident-and-emergency department, she could barely walk or breathe. A CT scan found lesions on both ovaries and one on her kidney. Weeks later, she learned she had stage four metastatic ovarian cancer.Her case, detailed in a report by the Daily Mail, reads like a textbook example…
Federal agents arrested a 51-year-old Australian woman at a New Orleans courthouse after a grand jury indicted her on charges she falsely claimed U.S. citizenship to register and vote in two consecutive federal elections, a case the Department of Homeland Security held up as proof that enforcement against noncitizen voters is real and accelerating.Denise Nataly Migliore, a lawful permanent resident, was taken into custody on July 1 by Homeland Security Investigations at the federal courthouse in New Orleans. A four-count indictment handed down on June 11 in the Eastern District of Louisiana charges her with illegally voting in a federal…
A Trump-appointed federal judge in Georgia quashed a Department of Justice grand jury subpoena seeking the names, home addresses, phone numbers, and email addresses of every election worker and poll volunteer in Fulton County who worked the 2020 election, ruling the request lacked any legitimate law enforcement purpose and calling its scope “staggering.”U.S. District Judge William Ray issued the order Tuesday, finding that the DOJ could not use the grand jury “as their tool” to sweep up the private information of thousands of county employees and volunteers. The ruling lands a direct check on the Justice Department’s ongoing investigation into…
President Donald Trump used a Fourth of July weekend podcast appearance to offer kind words for former President Bill Clinton, even as Hillary Clinton continued lobbing accusations of corruption and incompetence at the current administration from her X account.Trump made the remarks while sitting in the Oval Office as a guest on Storytime with the Second Lady, the children’s literacy podcast hosted by Second Lady Usha Vance. The episode, timed to coincide with America’s 250th birthday celebrations, featured the president reading Presidents Play!, a children’s book published by the White House Historical Association. When the book’s illustrations reached a page…
A second woman has accused Maine Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Graham Platner of sexual misconduct, this time alleging he removed condoms during sex without her consent, landing roughly 24 hours after a separate rape allegation that had already sent his campaign into a tailspin and prompted leading Democratic senators to pull their endorsements.The 41-year-old ex-girlfriend, Lyndsey Fifield, went on the record with the Washington Post, describing a pattern of deception during their relationship. Platner’s campaign called her claims “categorically false and politically motivated.” But the new accusation compounds a crisis that has left the oyster farmer’s candidacy hanging by a…
President Donald Trump said Wednesday that the interim ceasefire with Iran is “over,” hours after Iran’s Revolutionary Guard launched ballistic missiles and drones at American military installations in Bahrain and Kuwait and the United States struck back at targets inside Iran. The declaration, delivered to reporters while Trump attended a NATO summit in Ankara, Turkey, marks the most definitive rupture yet in a fragile diplomatic process that has been fraying for weeks.”For me, I think it’s over,” Trump told reporters at the summit. He left a narrow opening for continued contact but made clear he sees little point: “They can…
George Hutchinson, the man whose voice opened every session of the United States Supreme Court for a decade, including the oral arguments in Brown v. Board of Education, has died at 102. His three words, “Oyez, oyez, oyez,” were not the most consequential spoken during those landmark proceedings. But they were always the first.Hutchinson served as the Court’s crier for virtually every case heard between 1952 and 1962, the Washington Post reported. His job was to announce the arrival of the justices and gavel the chamber to order, a role rooted in centuries of Anglo-American legal tradition that has since…
President Trump approved and ordered a sweeping military operation against Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps while attending the NATO summit in Ankara, Turkey, after three separate Iranian attacks on commercial vessels in the Strait of Hormuz shattered a fragile ceasefire in a matter of days. U.S. Central Command hit more than 80 targets with precision munitions overnight, including air defense systems, command and control networks, coastal radar installations, anti-ship missile sites, and more than 60 IRGC small boats in and near the strait.The strikes mark a sharp escalation following weeks of failed diplomacy, and the collapse of a memorandum of…
Contrary to some modern, sanitized versions of the history of the American Revolution, the real Revolutionary War in the United States was a thoroughly violent affair. Proportionally, the war displaced a larger number of people than even the French Revolution, and more Americans died in that war than in any other American war. (The overall numbers are small because the population of North America was very small at the time.) Moreover, the conflict was not a simple matter of throwing out British interlopers who wouldn’t leave the residents of the American colonies alone. About a third of the politically active…
Everyone knows, except for the Ignorant and Apathetic among us, that the Parasitic Super-Rich Ruling Class (PSRRC) and their minions in the three branches of government have, through Treason, converted most of “government” into a criminal enterprise for their profit at the expense of voters. The serious takeover of our Republic started with the Coup of 1913 (Income Tax, Federal Reserve Bank, Fiat Currency, and Tax-Free Foundations). The Income Tax alone made Constitutional Government impossible by reversing the Economic and Political roles of the sovereign states and the federal establishment. I call this the Wallace Law. The Federal Reserve Bank…
The Trump administration is triggering hysteria in legacy media ranks over its agenda to relax gun rules. They’re rolling back a “tsunami” of gun regulations, Axios announced over the weekend, adding that “the effect critics fear is more guns moving with less federal scrutiny.” The New York Times told readers on Sunday, “Trump Administration Rolls Back Dozens of Gun Regulations.” The Times leads with this opening: The Trump administration is scrapping more than three dozen firearms regulations, abandoning a crackdown on illegal sales, restoring gun rights to some people with mental illness and loosening oversight of private weapons transactions These rollbacks would reportedly “let Americans ship…
The last three days have led to another escalation in the Strait of Hormuz. At the beginning of the week more tankers took the southern route along the Omani coast instead of the northern route on which Iran, following the Memorandum of Understanding, insists. The Omani route is under observation and protection by U.S. military assets. Iran is not the only one which interprets clause 5 of the MoU – “the Islamic Republic of Iran will make arrangements …” – to give it exclusive rights to regulate the traffic in the Strait.

Among the many violent events–Ruby Ridge, Waco, 9/11, for example–that never received a real investigation is the Oklahoma City Bombing. On April 19, 1995, the Murrah Federal Building was blown up resulting in many deaths, injuries, and damage to nearby buildings. The foul deed was blamed on Timothy McVeigh and a fertilizer bomb in a truck parked on the street in front of the building. McVeigh’s reason was a bit vague. It was blamed on anti-government ideology and revenge for the federal massacre of innocents at Waco and Ruby Ridge. When government investigations result in coverups or agenda-serving narratives, independent investigators, and journalists…
What’s going on? Are neocons having a come-to-Jesus moment? After Bob Kagan writing an article on how the U.S. is facing “total defeat” in Iran (see my article yesterday) you now have Max Boot – the very author of “The Case for American Empire” and one of the most vocal advocates for the Iraq war – publishing a Washington Post interview explaining that China has surpassed the U.S. in most military domains. If anything, Boot’s interview is even more devastating than Kagan’s piece, because it’s not editorial opinion – he’s interviewing John Culver, a former top CIA analyst (he was national intelligence officer…

President Trump on Wednesday reacted to the Graham Platner scandal as top Democrats jumped ship on his campaign, and his withdrawal from the race was looming. Trump appeared to question the legitimacy of the claims and called out the double standard with rape allegations from conservative women versus those from liberal women.

Lookout Mountain Incline Railway (screenshot via Local 3 News) A seasonal railway conductor for Tennessee’s Incline Railway at Lookout Mountain has been fired after making now-viral comments, wishing riders a happy Independence Day, which triggered some passengers.

By Gabriel Salguero, Op-ed Contributor Wednesday, July 08, 2026iStock/peshkovThe Bible warns that societies are judged not merely by their wealth or power, but by how they protect the vulnerable.Repeatedly, Scripture condemns systems that enrich the powerful while leaving the innocent exposed to exploitation. “Woe to those,” the prophet Isaiah wrote, “who make unjust laws.” Jesus Himself reserved some of His harshest words for those who harmed children and preyed upon the weak.That moral responsibility should guide Congress as it debates the future of cryptocurrency and digital asset regulation.There is no question that digital assets and blockchain technologies carry enormous promise…
