Iowan, at convention: "Mr. Romney, my family is just as real as yours" (AUDIO) - Radio Iowa

#DemocraticParty Leaders Wanted to Control the #Maine Senate Race. Their Pick Just Dropped Out.

#JanetMills dropped out of the Senate race against #GrahamPlatner, despite the establishment’s longtime support for the Maine governor.

by Akela Lacy, April 30 2026

Excerpt: "Mills’s exit less than six weeks before the June primary clears the path for populist candidate Graham Platner, now the presumed nominee, to face off against incumbent Republican Sen. Susan Collins in the November general election after the party worked to subdue Platner’s campaign. The Democratic Party’s decision to wade into the primary at all had reignited a criticism that the Democratic establishment would stop at nothing to keep progressives out of Congress.

[...]

"The upset marks 'a massive embarrassment for #ChuckSchumer and #DSCC operatives,' a Democratic strategist told The Intercept, speaking on the condition of anonymity for fear of professional reprisal. 'This was their star recruit and she couldn’t even make it to the election. No longer can they be the gatekeepers.' "

#KeithEdwards reacts to #KamalaHarris’s high-stakes push for the #DNC to release its 2024 election autopsy, breaking down the explosive reports that Democrats are hiding WHY she lost and her BOMBSHELL admission that she is officially "thinking about" a 2028 presidential run. youtu.be/Ch4PH1Ep5pI?...

It's really quite simple IMHO.
We don't need a corporate perspective.
Respect the results of the sovereign Democratic Primary to election day at all cost and through all chants from the oathless charlatans in the media otherwise.

"Kamala Harris wants the Democratic National Committee to release its assessment of why and how she lost to President Donald Trump in the 2024 election. DNC Chairman Ken Martin announced in December 2025 that he would not release the committee’s autopsy of the Democrats’ 2024 election loss, making a widely unpopular move to backtrack from his initial commitment to release the report to the public":

There was nothing wrong with #KamalaHarris #DNC

The Problem is #WePeople are #AttractionToStupid

People in USA since year 2015 seek out dumb memes and stupid jokes above all else. Mocking and insulting is what Trump provides that is a product of #InternetCulture

Meme dumb-shit is what rules and Trump recognizes that stupid ideas have become popular. Joe Rogan, Donald Trump.

Dr. Bandy X Lee since year 2017 is the evidence of #AntiIntellectual USA
