The most reasonable member of the Democrat party strikes again.

Senator John Fetterman of Pennsylvania was asked about Graham Platner, the Democratic Socialist (communist) running for U.S. Senate in Maine on CNN and called him a ‘creep.’

That’s actually a very good word to describe Platner, who is now embroiled in a sexting scandal, in addition to his many other controversies.

From CNN:

Fetterman calls Platner a ‘creep’ after reports of extramarital sexting

Sen. John Fetterman issued a scathing takedown of Graham Platner as the leading Democratic candidate in Maine’s Senate race has become embroiled in a scandal over reports that he sent sexual text messages to women who were not his wife.

In an interview with CNN Tuesday, the Pennsylvania Democrat also laid into Platner over past social media posts that have haunted Platner’s campaign for months. Fetterman likened Platner to a “Nazi sympathizer” over a now-infamous tattoo resembling a Nazi symbol. Platner has apologized for the past posts and has pleaded ignorance over the meaning of the tattoo, which he has since covered.

“When I was growing up, if someone had a clear Nazi tattoo on them, you probably could conclude that they’re a Nazi sympathizer,” Fetterman said, before rattling off some of Platner’s more incendiary posts. “Are you going to continue to defend that or dismiss that?”

The sharp criticism comes as many Senate Democrats have been reluctant to criticize their party’s top candidate in Maine’s highly competitive Senate race after reports have circulated about Platner’s wife flagging his sexual texts with other women to his campaign…

“Oh, phustle,” Fetterman said of Platner. “What kind of a creep? What kind of a creeper has been on … a platform like Kik, and send a dozen explicit kinds of messages and who knows what else?”

See the video below:

John Fetterman has more courage and clarity than Chuck Schumer, who is steadfastly standing by Platner, despite everything that has been learned about him.

If Democrats lose this election in Maine, it will be easy to see why.

FIRED! Scott Pelley Out at CBS News After Meltdown With Management

FIRED! Scott Pelley Out at CBS News After Meltdown With Management
June 2, 2026

Just yesterday, Scott Pelley of 60 Minutes had a total meltdown on management at CBS News, accusing the new chief Bari Weiss of trying to ‘murder’ the show.

Now Pelley is out at the network. They are not renewing his contract. One never knows what Pelley’s real motivation was here. He may have been trying to get fired and wanted to go out in a blaze of glory.

Either way, good riddance.

The New York Post reports:

‘60 Minutes’ star Scott Pelley fired from CBS News after blasting Bari Weiss in heated showdown

CBS News axed veteran “60 Minutes” correspondent Scott Pelley on Tuesday night, a day after after the longtime network star blasted editor-in-chief Bari Weiss and challenged her newly installed leadership team in a heated confrontation that exposed the widening civil war inside the iconic news magazine.

In a letter obtained by The Post, newly appointed “60 Minutes” executive producer Nick Bilton blasted Pelley in informing him he was fired “for cause effective immediately.”

“[Y]ou hijacked my first meeting with staff to disparage me, my qualifications, and my intentions with remarkable incivility and contempt,” Bilton wrote, referring to Monday’s heated face-off between the journo and his boss.

Bilton further accused Pelley of staging a “performative display of hostility” and claimed he had “no interest in contributing to the future success of the show, or approaching my new tenure with a mind open to collaboration and progress.”

“I am here to deliver first-in-class news programming, not to make headlines about newsroom drama,” Bilton wrote.

He went on to tell Pelley: “Your antipathy to the future of the show has come through loud and clear. And I have heard you.”

This was the right thing to do.

Scott Pelley thought he couldn’t be replaced.

The truth is that most people won’t miss him at all. Now he can join all of the other corporate journos who have been ousted in recent years and launched podcasts.

Greg Gutfeld Slams Kathy Griffin and Other Liberal Celebs for Backing Karen Bass: ‘It Has No Effect on Them Whatsoever’ (VIDEO)

Today on The Five, Greg Gutfeld took aim at Kathy Griffin and other liberal celebrities who are backing Karen Bass in the race for mayor of Los Angeles.

He pointed out that these people support the status quo but that it costs them nothing. These are people who live in gated communities and never have to deal with the consequences of the politicians they support.

He also suggested that in some ways, Griffin herself is a metaphor for the decaying city:

“Kathy Griffin thinks that Bass should have another term, so she is a microcosm of the city of Los Angeles itself. Under disrepair, plagued by mental illness, money is thrown at remedies that do nothing to solve the underlying rot.

You can keep having face lifts, just like you can keep reelecting Democrat mayors, but it does nothing but keep the catastrophe alive. It never gets any better, it just gets worse. And that podcast is worth noting, because she’s a progressive, blue celebrity. Just like Jane Fonda, just like Sam Jackson. They all endorsed Bass, and if she wins, it has no effect on them whatsoever.

It is just like all the celebrities who donated their time and money to the fire relief concert. Once it was over, they had no reason to see if the money got there. They don’t care, they did their deed. A hundred million dollars. No one knows where it went. It did not go to the victims.”

Watch the whole thing below:

The results of tonight’s primary in this race will be fascinating, no matter what happens.

If Pratt cleans up, it means there is some hope for Los Angeles. If voters want to give Karen Bass another term, or to elect the far left communist candidate, we will know the city is beyond help.

NEW: US Central Command Says US Forces Intercepted Iranian Missiles and Conducted Self-Defense Strikes on Iranian Military Site

NEW: US Central Command Says US Forces Intercepted Iranian Missiles and Conducted Self-Defense Strikes on Iranian Military Site

NEW: US Central Command Says US Forces Intercepted Iranian Missiles and Conducted Self-Defense Strikes on Iranian Military Site
June 2, 2026

President Donald Trump and the mysteriously absent Iranian leader Mojtala Khamenei

US Central Command announced on Tuesday evening that US forces defended against Iranian attacks and executed “self-defense” strikes against an Iranian military ground control station on Qeshm Island.

The US strikes on Qeshm Island came “in response to attempted attacks by Iran across the Middle East, June 2,” CENTCOM said.

As The Gateway Pundit reported, negotiations between the US and Iran are ongoing this week as Trump reportedly seeks amendments to the “largely negotiated” framework for a 60-day “memorandum of understanding” (MOU) that he announced last weekend. Included in the plan would be a 60-day ceasefire extension, the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, concessions from Iran on nuclear enrichment, and an Israel-Hezbollah ceasefire.

But the fragile ceasefire continues to be tested.

Central Command wrote in a statement on Tuesday:

U.S. forces successfully defeated multiple Iranian ballistic missiles and drones, and conducted self-defense strikes on Qeshm Island in response to attempted attacks by Iran across the Middle East, June 2.

Iran launched several ballistic missiles toward regional neighbors; however, all failed to hit their intended targets. Two Iranian missiles fired at Kuwait fell short or broke apart enroute, and three missiles launched at Bahrain were immediately intercepted by U.S. and Bahrain air defense forces.

Moments earlier, U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) forces shot down three one-way attack drones launched by Iran toward civilian mariners that were rightfully transiting regional waters. American forces also conducted self-defense strikes on an Iranian military ground control station on Qeshm Island.

No U.S. personnel were harmed. CENTCOM forces remain vigilant and ready to defend against unwarranted Iranian aggression during the ongoing ceasefire.

This comes after CENTCOM announced earlier that US forces had disabled a Botswana-flagged oil tanker as part of its blockade enforcement actions.

“A U.S. aircraft ultimately disabled the vessel by firing a Hellfire missile into the ship’s engine room, preventing the tanker from reaching Iran,” CENTCOM wrote.

President Donald Trump maintained that peace negotiations between the US and Iran "have been going on continuously, including four days ago, three days ago, two days ago, one day ago, and today," amid reports that Iran suspended talks with the US over Israel’s ground invasion of Lebanon on Monday.

Trump made phone calls to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Hezbollah representatives to end the fighting. He later announced that "all shooting will stop."

Israeli and Lebanese ambassadors to hold talks at the US State Department on Tuesday, though fighting between Israel and Hezbollah continued on Monday night and Tuesday morning.

BREAKING: Supreme Court Allows Alabama to Use Congressional Map that Favors Republicans – Sotomayor Fumes

BREAKING: Supreme Court Allows Alabama to Use Congressional Map that Favors Republicans – Sotomayor Fumes

BREAKING: Supreme Court Allows Alabama to Use Congressional Map that Favors Republicans – Sotomayor Fumes
June 2, 2026

The US Supreme Court on Tuesday evening allowed Alabama to use its 2023 congressional map that favors Republicans in the upcoming midterm elections.

Last week, Alabama asked the Supreme Court to intervene after a lower court blocked its new congressional map.

Alabama’s request to toss out its racist, gerrymandered congressional map comes after the Supreme Court last month declared Louisiana’s newly-drawn Congressional map an unconstitutional gerrymander.

The case, State of Louisiana v. Phillip Callais (and the related Press Robinson v. Phillip Callais), stems from Louisiana’s woke lawmakers caving to left-wing judges and creating a second “majority-minority” congressional district.

Last week, a three-judge panel ruled that Alabama’s new congressional map violated the Constitution’s 14th Amendment.

Alabama state officials asked the Supreme Court to overturn the lower court’s decision.

On Tuesday evening, the Supreme Court in a 6-3 decision upheld Alabama’s Congressional map that will likely result in 6-1 R-D.

Liberal Justice Sonia Sotomayor fumed in a dissent with whom Jackson and Kagan joined.

“Before the Court are two paths. Down one lies an orderly election, held under a tried-and-tested congressional map that protects Black Alabamians’ right to vote and with which all voters, elections officials, and candidates alike are familiar,” Sotomayor wrote.

“Down the other lies a chaotic election, held under a never-before-used congressional map that intentionally discriminates against Black Alabamians, that Alabama adopted in unashamed defiance of a prior court order directly affirmed by this Court, and that will require officials to change the voter registrations of hundreds of thousands of voters in just days at best, a task that Alabama previously represented would take months,” Sotomayor said.

“The majority chooses the second path and disregardsboth democratic values and the rule of law. I respectfully dissent,” she wrote.
