The Mitch photo is a fake...on-line sleuths did a great job

"The 2026 Statement: McConnell broke nearly a month of silence following his June 14, 2026, hospitalization with a statement released via News Nation.Photo Origins: Social media sleuths quickly pointed out that the smiling photo of McConnell and his wife, Elaine Chao, is identical to the picture originally circulated in March 2023 following a severe fall and concussion, as noted on Facebook.The Newspaper Detail: While the 2023 hospital photo was reused, the newspaper McConnell is holding in his hand appears to have been digitally updated to a current edition (such as a recent Washington Post sports section) to act as a "proof of life," according to New York Magazine.Continued Scrutiny: The reuse of this photograph—combined with his wife's recent trip to China—has fueled intense internet speculation regarding the transparency and actual status of the senator's health, as reported by The Daily Beast."

GOP thinks we are morons to buy this BS!

Breaking: Motorist Killed in ICE-Involved Shooting in Biddeford, Maine

We have breaking news out of Biddeford, Maine, on Monday morning of a fatal shooting reportedly involving Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

Early reports indicate the person shot may have tried to run over an ICE agent with their vehicle, prompting the agent to fire in self-defense.

I'm certain that no matter what the facts are, this will be another cause celeb for the left.  :popcorn:

This video from a couple of weeks ago, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oMBSKD64boU , may give some context to the story above. Ukraine has been hunting Russian SAM systems, their radars especially. as the SAM systems get destroyed or lose guidance radar, Crimea became increasingly vulnerable.

I wonder how many, if any, Snoopy-dancing Dems/Progs have gotten past rejoicing over Graham's death to the realization that Trump may have significant influence in the pick of who takes Graham's place.

I had forgotten this (h/t Power Line blog), but one thing Graham did well was out-play the Dems' Kavanaugh shambush.

The DUmpster / Re: Krasnov Is Scared Shitless

Iran is standing up to the bully. After bombing Iran with thousands of bombs and missiles, Iran didn't back down. Iran is no match for our military might but Iran has scared the shit out of Krasnov, it has threatened to kill him, has put him on a kill list. ...

Trump has been on Iran's "kill list" since taking out that top-level Iranian dude during Trump 1.0. Given that context, Trump is so Scared Shitless that he ran for President in 2020 and 2024, with enough public appearances to wear out an ordinary 50-something (far more than Auto-Pen or Kammie). And, yeah, after a brief pause after the failed assassination attempt, he resumed public appearances.

gab13by13 is projecting to DUpipo his image of what (s)he thinks Trump is in the face of contradicting Trump actions.

Quote
Western intelligence advised Krasnov that there was a plot to kill him in Turkey. Krasnov is so afraid that he actually listened to his advisors for once and dumped his prize Qatari 747 plane and went back to the old AF 1. ...

Both AF1s were flown to the UK, where Trump moved to the newer AF1. If there was a substantial possible threat, the converted Qatari 747-8 would not have been flown at all, i.e.not risking the highly trained crew and passengers. As for a possible SAM threat, does anyone believe even a top-line Russian S-300 or S-400 can discern between a 747-200 and a 747-8? Let alone believe that the new AF1 does not have the same or better self-defense capabilities as the (upgraded?) 1990s AF1?

There are things not known about how/why things were done in the return from Ankara, but Trump being Scared Shitless is not on any thinking person's list of possibilities ... which is why gab13by13 "knows" it is true.

Well, Platner dropped out. What he got in quid pro quo, :shrug: . I do not think it was nothing. Now the Dems' choices seem to be a few slightly less pungent creatures and maybe Governor Janet Mills, who dropped out to let Platner have the nomination.

I don't know if a timeshare is subject to property tax, but since a mere lease is a form of temporary ownership, I would not be totally surprised if $$-hungry pols decided that a timeshare is a quasi-permanent partial ownership and therefore subject to property taxes. That this is in Orange County and not, e.g., Yuba County may be pertinent. Orange County has MouseLand, Yuba County has rice, walnuts, and almonds.

Ro Khanna Is a Shyster

Ro is running for president—something he has been doing for quite a while now without actually admitting it—but he got himself into a bit of a pickle by fully backing Graham Platner despite all the various scandals, up to and including the first accusations of assaulting a Lindsey Fifield.
...
He didn't just back Platner. He didn't just campaign with Platner. He actually subsidized Platner's rally following those accusations of assault.
...
Khanna didn't withdraw his support until a bandwagon, including Platner's DSA backers, who Khanna is counting on to vault him into the presidency, signaled that now was the time. It was a profile in pusillanimity. Now he is blaming others for his own bad judgment.

Khanna's argument? Nobody else saw the signs, so why does anybody expect him to have seen the signs ...
...
Now, in an attempt to distract from his incredibly bad judgment and his willingness to work with Platner, Khanna has flown off to Israel to instigate a confrontation with Israeli settlers, getting a news photographer to tag along on his trip.

His plan? To hire a Palestinian guide who was willing to break the law by entering a military exclusion zone from which all civilians, Israeli or foreign, are banned. He was, unsurprisingly, stopped at the border and held until the Israeli authorities arrived and sent him on his way unharmed and unarrested.

I don't know how much MSM coverage-outrage this stunt hs garnered, but it's being splashed all over FB. It's almost as if it were ALL and pre-planned coordinated stunt, :wink: .

Where did Kensuck get his military expertise from? watching reruns of Combat and 112 O'clock High with a little Hogan's Heros tossed in?

From playing lots of Candyland. :rimshot:
