IS KAMALA BLACK? "Immigrants weren’t dragged to our country against their will. They came here. But now they’re expropriating the black experience in America."

 Ann Coulter 

Overnight, “DIVERSITY” became the new buzzword, and “integration” was flushed down the memory hole. Integration had been about redressing historic wrongs done to black Americans. By contrast, diversity means everyone gets special rights and privileges –- everyone except white Americans.

 "Probably inadvertently and for all the wrong reasons, Donald Trump made an important point last week when he said of the Democrats’ most recent presidential nominee, Kamala Harris:

" 'She was always of Indian heritage, and she was only promoting Indian heritage. I didn’t know she was Black until a number of years ago, when she happened to turn Black, and now she wants to be known as Black.”

"Cue media exploding in ritualistic rage at Trump for his “racist attack.” (I had no idea it was such an insult to be called an Indian!)

"In fact, it actually is important that Harris is not a foundational black American (FBA), but rather, the child of immigrants. I know we don’t talk about it nearly enough, but remember slavery?

"A couple of centuries ago, slaves purchased in Africa from black African slave traders were transported to America. They were freed by Republicans (at the cost of 600,000 American lives), then discriminated against for another hundred years — mostly by Democrats — until Republicans finally forced the Democrats to cease their infernal Jim Crow policies.

"Because Americans felt such shame for how (a minority of) whites treated black people, we went to work on a massive enterprise to remedy these past injustices. The idea was: OK, we’ve got 13% of the population that got the short end of the stick for a couple of centuries, so we’re spending it all on them.

"America altered constitutional provisions about freedom of association, private property and contract law — for the descendants of American slaves. Huge social welfare programs were established — for the descendants of American slaves. Affirmative action and racial quotas were imposed — for the descendants of American slaves. We agreed to virtually criminalize the use of certain words — for the descendants of American slaves.

"Are you seeing the pattern? There’s no justification for special treatment for any ethnic group apart from victims of America’s history of slavery and Jim Crow." . . .

The World Held Hostage, Day 300: Countering Kamala’s Condescension, Bibi Bombs Away

Issues & Insights  The suffering of the Palestinians never had to happen at all. They knew when they invaded Israel, slaughtered families, raped women, burned villages and babies, then took hostages that this would happen as expected. Muslims who thrive on death in all its forms knew they were creating the worldwide uproar that would cast Israel in the worst possible light, in the minds of ignorant youth, their educators, and their toadying politicians. It takes no courage for the likes of today's Democrats to boldly protest against faithful allies and support the world's bullies. TD

 "A tragic milestone is reached today: Day 300 of Iran Hostage Crisis II, as reflected on this site.

"And developments are moving fast and furious, even if the end of the ordeal has not for five Americans and some 65 other innocent captives still presumed alive.

"As the marker approached, dynamic Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu delivered an oration for the ages, and took bold, decisive actions that could accelerate a deal to return the women, infants, and men who continue as pawns in Hamas’ cruel machinations.

"And dimwitted presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris delivered remarks for the aged (i.e., stepping into the place of her deposed, dementia-ridden boss) that threatened to set the captives’ homecoming back indefinitely.

“ 'The war in Gaza could end tomorrow if Hamas surrenders, disarms, and returns all the hostages,” Bibi boomed during his address before a joint congressional session. “But if they don’t, Israel will fight until we destroy Hamas’ military capabilities and its rule in Gaza and bring all our hostages home.”

"Yet why would Hamas’ blood-soaked Caesars wave the white flag and cash in their caches of human poker chips given Harris’ winking assurances in her first appearance as de facto diplomat in chief?

"After meeting Netanyahu, whom she had already dissed by skipping his speech – and following a dutiful but disingenuous recitation of the usual homilies about supporting Israel – Ms. Harris laid bare where her real sympathies lie as she embarrassed her guest with a regurgitation of warmed-over Palestinian propaganda:

To wit:   . . ."It is time for this war to end and end in a way where Israel is secure, all the hostages are released, the suffering of Palestinians in Gaza ends, and the Palestinian people can exercise their right to freedom, dignity, and self-determination … 

"As I just told Prime Minister Netanyahu, it is time to get this deal done."  "Seemingly all but assuring that it wouldn’t get done, by incentivizing the terrorist tyrants to hold out till beyond Nov. 5 expectation of continued Kamala condescension to Bibi and kid-glove love to his enemies."   "That is, if they live that long.". . .    Full article here.

Spineless Biden is edging us towards World War III   

. . .In this way, Biden has arrived at the twilight of his presidency by eclipsing his shameful Afghan withdrawal of 2021. The world is in turmoil, Russia and China are emboldened and America’s foremost ally in the Middle East is being left to enforce deterrents alone. The world’s most malign, dangerous and oppressive theocracy – an ally of Moscow and Beijing – is fast advancing to become a regional nuclear superpower. Wouldn’t it have been easier to have toughened up in the first place?

Never mind "weird"; Media Parrots Harris Campaign’s Ridiculous Claim That it’s All About ‘Joy’

 Legal Insurrection 

 The New York Times is downright comical in this piece: "Harris Used to Worry About Laughing. Now Joy Is Fueling Her Campaign." 

"If you’ve been following news about the election, you have probably heard the word ‘joy’ repeated over and over. This is not a coincidence. It’s a talking point from the Harris campaign, and the media is doing their very best to play along.

“Joy” is apparently the new hope and change, and the use of the term is not even close to subtle.

"You can see it used in this report from Axios:

Harris vs. Trump: America’s mood-swing election

This election is about more than two very different ideologies. It’s about two very different moods: joy vs. rage.

Why it matters: The conflicting rhetoric reflects the conflicting calculations of how to win in 2024 — and how Americans are really feeling about the state of the nation.

Former President Trump sees fear as the primary motivator — fear of illegal immigration, crime, inflation, a declining America. He believes swing voters will embrace his darker view and demand protection, even if they don’t love his style.

  • Vice President Harris sees hope (or conflict exhaustion) as the primary motivator — hope to move beyond Trump and fighting, hope in a rising/rebounding America. She believes voters are tired of doom-and-gloom.Ignore the dismal economy.
    Ignore the open borders.
    Ignore the crime in your city.
    Just think of "JOY" when you think of Kamala!

    — Breitbart News (@BreitbartNews) August 8, 2024       . . ."The memo has clearly gone out.

    "The trouble with this narrative is that people around the country are not feeling joy. They’re feeling anxious about their savings, the price of gas, groceries, and housing. They’re feeling worried about the state of the country and the world.

    "Kamala and Walz can say they feel joy until they’re blue in the face. It’s not going to change the fact that most Americans feel the country is headed in the wrong direction."

 Tim Walz Clarifies That He's Never Been To Iraq, But He Has Been To Downtown Minneapolis Which Is Basically The Same Thing


"DETROIT, MI — Coming under heavy criticism over allegedly false claims about his military service, Minnesota governor and current vice presidential candidate Tim Walz clarified that he's never been to Iraq, but he has been to downtown Minneapolis, which is basically the same thing.

"After Walz faced accusations of "stolen valor" after repeatedly claiming to have seen combat in Iraq, he admitted that while he had never actually been there, he had spent a lot of time in and around the hellish, war-torn landscape of downtown Minneapolis, meaning he had likely experienced the same type of horror.

" 'Believe me, it's just as nasty out there," Walz said. "During my time as governor, the level of decay and danger that permeated Minneapolis isn't anything to shake a stick at. So, while I must admit I never actually set foot in Iraq, per se, I would have to argue that my extensive time spent in downtown Minneapolis has given me experience that is just as — if not more — sobering and life-changing than anyone who served in Iraq.'

Vivek Ramaswamy: ‘I shoulda ran as a black dude’ like Kamala  


US—Hindsight being 20/20, a reflective Vivek Ramaswamy looks back at his presidential run with a newfound clarity. “Yeah, looking back, my biggest mistake was not identifying as a black dude,” he admitted in a recent interview, a hint of regret tinging his voice.

“ 'If I had known that using your Indian and Asian heritage to win in California and then switching it up to African for president was the winning strategy, I’d have been all in,” he continued. “I mean, Kamala did it, right?”

"Ramaswamy’s comments come on the heels of his less-than-stellar performance in the primaries, where he found himself outshouted by louder voices and outmaneuvered by savvier campaign tactics. But now, with the wisdom of experience, he’s ready to rethink his approach.

“ 'Just imagine,” he mused, “Vivek Ramaswamy, the first Afro-Indian Republican candidate. It’s groundbreaking. It’s diverse. It’s everything the modern voter wants. If you don’t vote for Vivek in 2028, then you ain’t Black!” His campaign slogan, already trending on social media, seems to be catching on like wildfire." . . .

MSNBC Deceptively Edited Footage of Joe Rogan Talking About Tulsi Gabbard to Make It Look Like He Was Singing the Praises of [Kamala]

But a sniper on a rooftop at a Trump rally, no problem.


Infidel Bloggers   "American Stasi:" DHS Surveillance Teams Followed Around Veteran and Former Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard, Because Her Statements Criticizing the Regime Make Her a Potential Terrorist  "Tuesday night, while self-styled Democratic nominee Kamala Harris pledged to defend "freedom, compassion, and the rule of law" to cheers in Philadelphia, Hawaii's Tulsi Gabbard described being tracked by teams of government agents in a surveillance regime more reminiscent of East Germany than a free country. Whistleblowing Air Marshals told Uncover DC Gabbard was singled out as a terror threat under the so-called "Quiet Skies" program, and the former presidential candidate says she noticed.

"The whistleblowers' account matches my experience," says Gabbard. "Everything lines up to the day."

This story began two weeks ago, when the former Hawaii congresswoman returned home after a short trip abroad. In airport after airport, she and her husband Abraham Williams encountered obstacles. First on a flight from Rome to Dallas, then a connecting flight to Austin, and later on different flights for both to cities like Nashville, Orlando, and Atlanta, their boarding passes were marked with the "SSSS" designation, which stands for "Secondary Security Screening Selection." The "Quad-S" marker is often a sign the traveler has been put on a threat list, and Gabbard and Williams were forced into extensive "random" searches lasting as long as 45 minutes.

Trump supporters are now marked "Quad-S" for being terrorists routinely, the whistleblower told her:   . . ."MSNBC recently cut together a completely-fraudulent video which pretended that Joe Rogan was supporting Kamala Harris.

"Among the claims Rogan was shown making, supposedly about Kamala Harris, was that she "served overseas for eight years" and was "a medic."

"Obviously Joe Rogan was speaking there about Noted Terrorist Threat Tulsi Gabbard, not Kamala Harris. But MSNBC cut together the clear disinformation and presented it on their Twitter feed as proof that disaffected liberal Joe Rogan was now voting for Harris, and his millions and millions of fans should get on board." . . .

Why Tulsi Gabbard Was Put on TSA's Suspected Terror Watchlist . . .  “ 'When I saw that, I thought, ‘Wow, okay. So everything I was experiencing was exactly what I feared was going on,” she said. “It’s bringing to the forefront… how brazen the political retaliation and abuse of power continues to be under the Biden-Harris administration.' ” . . .

JNS poll: Israelis support Donald Trump over Joe Biden

Caroline Glick

“Israel is the one, and you should let ’em go and let ’em finish the job,” Trump said. “He doesn’t want to do it. He’s become like a Palestinian. But they don’t like him because he’s a very bad Palestinian, he’s a weak one.”

"If Israelis were the ones who decided, presumptive Republican nominee and former President Donald Trump would defeat U.S. President Joe Biden in a landslide on Nov. 5, according to a JNS/Direct Polls survey of public opinion carried out on July 9.

"According to the survey, 55% of Israelis would prefer to see Trump elected, 34% prefer Biden and 11% don’t have an opinion on the matter.

"Israelis are unsure whether Biden is pro-Israel. Fifty percent said he is, while 43% said he is not and 7% don’t know.

Anti-Hamas Israeli
"Among young Israelis, the responses were even more dramatic. Seventy-four percent of respondents aged 18 to 29 said that Biden is not pro-Israel. Young Israelis support Trump over Biden 95%-5%.

"Israel and Jewish issues played a small but explosive role in the presidential debate between Biden and Trump late last month.

"In an exchange about what leverage Biden would use to get Hamas to agree to a ceasefire-for-hostages proposal that he announced in May, Trump accused the president of wanting to let the Palestinian terror group remain in power.

“ 'Israel is the one, and you should let ’em go and let ’em finish the job,” Trump said. “He doesn’t want to do it. He’s become like a Palestinian. But they don’t like him because he’s a very bad Palestinian, he’s a weak one.”

"Biden in his preceding answer claimed that he had “saved Israel,” but that the Jewish state had “killed a lot of innocent people.” . . .


When Harris says "I'm speaking!" you better listen

Tony Branco

 Harris was wildly insensitive to protesters at Michigan rally (usatoday.com)

Although Democrats are divided on Israel-Palestine, many want to support the Harris-Walz ticket. Brushing off protestors makes that hard.

"Two weeks ago, I wrote about the dangers of idolizing Kamala Harris and dismissing her critics following her bid for president. Harris is not a perfect presidential candidate. This is a truth many knew but were avoiding in the excitement of the new Democratic ticket. The honeymoon is over." . . .

“ 'If you want Donald Trump to win, then say that otherwise, I'm speaking,” she told them.

"This response lacks critical thinking and is also wildly insensitive while having a rally in Michigan of all places, the state with the largest Arab American population by density." . . .

Notice in this speech Harris realized Trump's idea of no tax on tips is smart.

Kamala steals one of President Trump’s most popular proposals  . . ."This caps a career that began with her stealing another woman’s husband. As of yesterday, Kamala added a new theft to her political modus operandi: She stole Donald Trump’s popular proposal to stop taxing tips.

"Trump first voiced the idea in early June during a rally in Nevada (a state rich in service employees):" . . .

“If you want Donald Trump to win, then say that,” Ms. Harris said. “Otherwise, I am speaking.”   . . ."Notice that Kamala didn’t challenge the substance of the heckling. Instead, she simply said the equivalent of please, don’t say that out loud because it will keep me out of the White House. Unsaid was the implication that she might indeed abandon Israel if she got into the White House.

"Bizarre response or not, Kamala supporters were in heaven. I see that nagging teacher I hated back in junior high school, but others saw presidential power!"

Kamala Harris spent months shooting down concerns over Biden's mental competency | Fox News  . . ."Questions posed to Harris over Biden's mental competency were raised frequently beginning in the fall of 2023, as the president made recurring comments at public events that sparked concerns over his fitness ahead of the election year. The president is 81 years old and would have been 86 by the end of a second term.

"Harris suggested that "what’s on his birth certificate in terms of his age" is not "the measure of the man," when asked about Biden's age in a November 2023 Sirius XM interview.

" 'Let’s not get distracted. Let’s look at whether we have a president that’s actually produced, and followed through on his commitments and especially on long-standing issues that needed to be addressed," Harris said. "Joe Biden has done that. That’s the measure of the man. Not what’s on his birth certificate in terms of his age." . . .

Now Even the New York Times Wants Biden to Resign

With Biden's fake tantrums, his Walter Mitty fables, his molestation of females and general qualities as a national leader, one divines much more than simply senility, but a lack of character and intelligence. Those qualities also missing in many Democrats, media personalities, and entire press networks. The Tunnel Dweller.

 Robert Spencer  

"It is easy to forget the fact, but the president of the United States is an old fellow named Joe Biden, a relic of the late 1980s political scene, a sinister corruptocrat who affects a genial, folksy mien. He's an octogenarian so deep in the grip of dementia that his frequent mental lapses led him to end his campaign for reelection after a disastrous debate with the man he had tried to destroy in numerous ways before a debate became unavoidable, Donald Trump. Yet, although the whole world knows, or thinks it knows, that Biden abandoned his reelection bid because of his cognitive decline, he continues to pretend to be president. Now, even the New York Times is calling for a halt to the charade.

"To be sure, the author of the Times column calling for Biden’s resignation was the Paper of Record’s resident conservative, Ross Douthat, so it cannot be taken as an indication that the Democrat Party leadership, which generally uses the Times as its press release service, is on the verge of administering the final coup de grace to the Biden “presidency.” Still, this is the Times, and so it’s an unmistakable indication that there are currents within the Democrat Party that want to jettison Old Joe now. 

" 'Douthat points out that the destruction of Biden’s reelection campaign headed off a scandal: “for a few weeks the media coverage of the Biden White House built up the idea that there was a major scandal here, implicating the inner circle that encouraged the president to run for re-election and practiced deception amid his obvious decline. The potential scale of that scandal has diminished now that the country is no longer being asked to entrust the Oval Office to Biden for another four years.”

"Nonetheless, if Old Joe would just get out of the way, says Douthat, Kamala Harris’ chances of being elected president would increase. “It’s possible,” he writes, “depending on Biden’s true capacities, that by rights he should have resigned and Harris should be president already — which probably would have put her in a better position to win the election even than her current honeymoon does.” " . . .
