Anybody mention Kamala Harris lately?

. . . The left as constituted today has brought us to the brink.  Biden and Harris are both creatures of this belief that anarchy will work in their favor.  Trump is the only man standing between savagery and the civilized society most of us have taken for granted at least for the last many decades.  Patricia McCarthy

Remember: it's "Comma-la". 
Willie Brown admits it: Kamala Harris slept her way to the top  . . . "Now you know where we get these people from. Somehow Harris, who was in her late 20s or at most 30 when she dated the 60-year-old married Brown around 1994 did so because he was just so very irresistable." . . .
 . . . "All the same, it's disgusting, and while Trump is no angel on the love front, at least he never offered sex for political favors, either to women or from women. He never cheated on someone's spouse to get himself some political power the way she did. So now that Harris is presented as a role model and antidote-to-Trump these days, is she going to encourage all the little girls out there by saying that getting a politically strong boyfriend is the way to make it big in politics now? One wonders." . . . If it's "old news", it never happened.

Hillary Recrudescence*? Biden's choice of Kamala Harris represents return of Democrats' Hillary wing  . . . "After all, Biden has no accomplishments of any kind as a politician. Peter Schweizer has observed that Biden's political career has been intensely focused on enriching family members and Kamala's isn't all that different. . . . it's also important that she will do and say anything to get the position she wants -- and if that means play-acting for awhile, well, she's good at play-acting, just ask Willie Brown. She'll fake it till she can make a killing.
*Recrudescence: *"Other diseases that may recur following a short or long period of quiescence include shingles (after chicken pox), oral herpes and genital herpes . . ."

Before taking on Kavanaugh and Biden, Kamala honed her attacks on Jeff Sessions
. . . "Harris's interrogation of Sessions resembled a Star Chamber inquisition, centered as it was on the fake meme of "Russia collusion" . . .

It says a lot that Biden chose Kamala, and none of what it says is good  . . . "It's purely cosmetic to boast to black Americans that Kamala's place on the ticket represents the African-American experience.  It doesn't because she isn't — and blacks have noticed: . . ."

Kamala Harris, for entertainment value  "Joe Biden's handlers opting for Kamala Harris as his running mate is downright entertaining. It's as though they let Trump choose Biden's V.P. candidate. " . . .

Myron Basil Berryman – identified as White House shooter who injured Secret Service agent

Man shot near White House on Monday shouted threats, AP sources day  "A man shot and wounded by a uniformed Secret Service officer, prompting President Donald Trump to be abruptly escorted out of a briefing room during a televised news conference, had been threatening to kill people near the White House, two officials familiar with the matter said Tuesday.
"The man was identified as Myron Berryman, 51, and is expected to face federal assault charges, the officials said. He remained hospitalized with critical injuries on Tuesday, they said.
"The officials, who were briefed on the investigation, could not discuss the ongoing probe publicly and spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity.

Berryman had approached the uniformed officer just before 6 p.m. Monday at the corner of 17th Street and Pennsylvania Avenue, just blocks from the White House, and told the officer he had a weapon, Secret Service Uniformed Division Chief Tom Sullivan said. He then moved aggressively toward the officer and appeared ready to fire before the officer shot him once, Sullivan said.
"Sullivan would not answer questions Monday night about whether the man had indeed been armed, but no weapon was recovered at the scene, the officials said.

Before the shooting, Berryman had been shouting that he was going to kill people, according to the officials familiar with the matter.
"Sullivan said after the man told the officer he had a weapon, he turned around and “ran aggressively toward the officer, and in a drawing motion, removed an object from his clothing,” Sullivan said. The suspect then “crouched into a shooter’s stance, as if about to fire a weapon” before the officer shot the man once in the torso, he said." . . .

The Secret Service statement does not specify whether the individual was armed, but he was reportedly unarmed according to law enforcement sources who spoke with CNN.  "Berryman’s sister, Sonya Hemmelgarn, affirmed that initial reports were inaccurate and told the Dayton Daily News that “Myron was not armed,” according to the Journal News.
“They said he had a weapon? He ran toward him?” Hemmelgarn told the Washington Post. “This is crazy. He is a man of God. He would not have a weapon for sure. His weapon is the word of God.”

She also told the Post that he could have been participating in protests outside the White House.

" 'We are still trying to figure out what is going on and how my brother is doing,” she said, adding that her brother remained hospitalized Tuesday in critical but stable condition.

"The Secret Service said in their Monday statement that the agency would be conducting an internal review of the officer’s actions and that the Metropolitan Police Department was contacted to conduct an investigation. " . . .Pacific Pundit

Watch the video of the encounter and there is no doubt the man was armed.

Meathead calls honoring the Battle of Gettysburg a "devotion to white supremacy".

Rob Reiner Aug 10

 Meathead" speaks

Trump brilliantly narrows down the location of his acceptance speech. Either break yet another law and do it at the WH, or do it at Gettysburg and celebrate your devotion to White Supremacy.

. . .  "As Abraham Lincoln said in his famous speech on that great battlefield: . .

“Fourscore and seven years ago our fathers brought forth, on this continent, a new nation, conceived in liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived, and so dedicated, can long endure.

We are met on a great battle-field of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting-place for those who here gave their lives, that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.

But, in a larger sense, we cannot dedicate, we cannot consecrate—we cannot hallow—this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here.

It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us—that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they here gave the last full measure of devotion—that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain—that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.”

"The speech sought to bind up the wounds of the nation, to ensure that any nation so conceived can in fact endure." . . .

Kamala Harris: a top leader of the free world

But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days. People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God- having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with such people. . . .2 Timothy 3:1-5, New Testament

Pronounced "comma-la"; just ask her.

Flashback: That Time Kamala Harris Said She Believed Biden’s Accusers

Harris also suggested Biden supported racists on national television, but I guess we’re supposed to forget that, too.

Kamala BLM Harris Praises ‘Incredible’ Black Lives Matter But Feeling Isn’t Mutual  "Sen. Kamala Harris (D., Calif.) praised Black Lives Matter activists for their  "incredible" and "smart" activism during her Wednesday night Comedy Central interview, saying their demonstrations enabled some of the accomplishments she made on criminal justice reform.
" 'One of the benefits that I believe the system received and that helped me do the work that I was able to accomplish was because of the incredible activism and smart activism of folks, like the folks who were Black Lives Matter," Harris told Trevor Noah. "The folks who were involved on the outside who were saying and demanding that the system would change, demanding and marching and advocating."
" 'That activism allowed me to then be able to do some of the work that I accomplished. I could not have done anything I did without that level of organized, smart activism on the outside," Harris said.
"The admiration for that "activism on the outside" from Harris doesn't go both ways, as many prominent activists in the black community have expressed doubt about her presidential campaign because of her actions as a California prosecutor.
"Johnetta Elzie, one of the lead organizers of the 2014 protests in Ferguson, Missouri, responded to Harris's presidential launch by telling Slate she was "not excited" about her run and criticizing her reluctance to back body-camera legislation in California.
"Having lived through the experience of protesting in Ferguson, and knowing the impact body cameras could've had on catalyzing our moment, I couldn't understand her position," Elzie said." . . .

Black Lives Matter "jumped the shark" . . . "For their part, Black Lives Matter decided to hold a rally last night to show solidarity, not with police or against violence, but with the looters." . . .

But we live in a country where BLM is celebrated while innocuous movements like the Tea Party were demonized. Very little makes sense anymore. What I do know is that BLM needs to be pushed back on. 

That White House shooter

Rattled yet?  . . .  "Additionally, when there's a crisis, we grade a leader's performance — can this leader handle the heat?  When the going gets tough and scary, will this person be there for the nation?  Will the leader show grace under pressure?" . . .

After providing a few more details, Trump opened the floor for questions.  A reporter asked, "Are you rattled by this at all, Mr. President?"  Trump's response was simple.  "I don't know.  Do I seem rattled?"  In fact, he didn't seem rattled.  Trump acknowledged that the world is a dangerous place and then quickly got back to business.

Tucker Carlson, Greg Gutfeld Dismantle CNN After Claim That No News Orgs Exist To Tear Down Trump

Daily Wire "Fox News hosts Tucker Carlson and Greg Gutfeld slammed CNN on Monday after CNN media reporter Brian Stelter aired a segment over the weekend claiming that no news organizations existed to tear down President Donald Trump.
"The segment came as Stelter aggressively defended presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden over the week, claiming without evidence that “entire media companies essentially exist to tear down Joe Biden.”
" 'When you see entire media companies essentially exist to tear down Joe Biden, is there an equivalent to that on the left tearing down Trump?” Stelter asked a guest on his show.
"The guest responded, “There really isn’t and what I would say, it’s really a diet of this type of information that a lot of these voters are getting.”
“ 'Oh, to be this dumb,” Gutfeld responded. “So, so, wait, there’s no anti-Trump network? Wow, even CNN admits nobody watches CNN. But look, even if you despise Trump, you’ve got to admit this deception dares you to laugh in its face. There isn’t an anti-Trump media company? Hell, there might be two dozen with CNN leading the ‘hair on fire pack.’ The only reason every Trump book goes to number one is because it has two cable networks doing its P.R., which explains why two recent massive surveys say media is overwhelmingly biased and cannot be trusted.' ” . . .

Have Conservatives Gone Dark?

John Kudla  "Going dark in a general sense means to cease communications or activities.  This tactic can be applied to espionage, military operations, guerrilla warfare, and large segments of any population if a situation warrants it.  Judging from the results of recent political polls, one could argue that a significant percentage of conservative voters and perhaps even moderates have gone dark.

"If you were surprised by a July 19 ABC News/Washington Post poll that had Joe Biden up over Donald Trump by 15 points nationally, a CBS News/YouGov poll from July 26 that had Biden up by 10 points, or the most recent Economist/YouGov poll that has Biden up by 9 points, chances are you were not alone.  Conservative analysts would consider these polls less than accurate or deliberately juiced in some way to get a desired result.  However, if you look at the Real Clear Politics 2020 list of national presidential polls, the last time Trump polled ahead of Biden was February 2020.  Almost all national polls have had Biden ahead before and since." . . .

. . . 

"The most compelling case that conservatives have gone dark is a recent Cato Institute poll, which found that 62% of Americans overall are afraid to express their political views.  This includes 77% of conservatives but an average of 47% of liberals and strong liberals.  This is an amazing statistic.  Less than half of liberals are afraid to express their political views, while over three quarters of conservatives fear doing so.

"It is not difficult to understand why conservatives feel this way.  They watch night after night as a slow-motion liberal version of Kristallnacht rolls on in many American cities.  Police are attacked, businesses are looted and burned, statues are pulled down, and innocent bystanders or motorists in their cars are harassed or worse.  They know that wearing a MAGA hat or shirt in the wrong neighborhood may get them attacked and beaten.  They know that a Trump yard sign or bumper sticker may get their house or vehicle vandalized.  They know that if they say or post the wrong thing on social media, they may be tarred as a racist, misogynist, homophobe, xenophobe, etc., and could possibly lose their job or career. 

"The commonsense reaction to these kinds of threats is to either fight back or go dark. "

CNN long ago gave up any aspirations of being a source to be relied on for information.

Stelter at CNN discusses how conservative sites are created to go after the left. Then he asks the panel if there is any liberal site whose purpose is to go after conservative Republicans. The panel agrees with Stelter/CNN that there is none, zip, nada, bupkis. TD


Watch this piece of hard-hitting journalism as CNN speaks nonsense to power:

The Mainstream Media Is at the Point of No Return  "A recent landmark poll of 20,000 citizens undertaken by the Knight Foundation and Gallup found that Americans’ hope for and trust in an objective media is all but lost.  They see not only an ever-growing partisanship in news reporting but a determination by the mainstream media to push a political agenda instead of honestly disseminating the news.  While generic faith in the media has been gradually declining over recent decades, the precipitous drop in trust and questions about what motivates the mainstream media can be traced to June 2015 and Donald Trump’s entry into the presidential sweepstakes. 

"This latest Gallup poll is the most devastating indictment of the media in polling history.  Some highlights:" . . .

However, in what is the most egregious example of media malpractice in American history, the mainstream media was and continues to be complicit in, as well as co-conspirators with, the Obama Administration in the greatest scandal in American history -- the Russian collusion hoax. 

. . . "The mainstream media, in their determination to exploit Donald Trump’s notoriety and subsequent quixotic quest to destroy him, has achieved an unprecedented negative trifecta.  Due to an insatiable need for ratings, the mainstream media was a major in-kind contributor to someone they loathed winning the presidency.  This same motivation precipitated their willingness to became the butt of ridicule and mockery on the national stage they provided.  And now they have forever lost the trust of the American people."

NY state assemblyman slams 'spineless' de Blasio's coronavirus checkpoints as 'utter nonsense'

One does admire the convictions of de Blazio if you think about it; the guy is taunted and ridiculed for being the worst mayor ever in this country yet he continues to remain just that.
The Tunnel Dweller.

"De Blasio’s just trying to make it look like he’s flexing some kind of political muscle'

Fox News   "New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio is leading the Big Apple into shambles as the state's governor begs people to stay, a state assemblyman told FOX Business Network's "Varney & Co." Monday.
"Mike LiPetri, a Republican assemblyman, slammed the Democrat mayor for his coronavirus checkpoints, which could result in fines up to $10,000 for visitors, amid rising homelessness and violence in the city.
" 'This is utter nonsense," LiPetri told host Stuart Varney. "I mean 20,000 deaths from COVID are from New York City alone over these past few months, but de Blasio’s just trying to make it look like he’s flexing some kind of political muscle, but in reality, this man is spineless.” . . .

. . . "The New York assemblyman said it’s “history repeating itself,” pointing to the 1970s and '80s, noting, “New York City was the slums and until you saw Mayor Guiliani come and actually lift this city up and clean it up."
" 'But now since Mayor Bill de Blasio’s taken over, it is in shambles," he said. "You have this radical left replacing it with all these socialist mentalities and theories, that in effect, don’t actually come to fruition when put in practice, and you’re seeing those effects take place today.' ” . . .

DEMOCRAT REP. MAX ROSE DUBS DE BLASIO 'WORST MAYOR' IN US HISTORY: 'IT IS AN UTTER DISGRACE'

Who or What Exactly Is Running Against Trump?

The inner-Biden at 77 is turning out to be an unabashed bigot in the age of “cancel culture” and thought crimes that has apparently declared him immune from the opprobrium reserved for any such speech.

Victor Davis Hanson  . . . "In the past, it was to Biden’s advantage to postpone his selection of his female-mandated vice presidential running mate, given the lose-lose choice of either picking a woke young African American female who may polarize swing voters while spending the next three months being vetted in the fashion of California "Representative Karen Bass’s Scientology and Fidel Castro issues, or selecting a vetted, but off-putting former National Security Advisor Susan Rice or Senator Kamala Harris (D-Calif.), who does not especially like Biden and would be seen as hovering and rummaging about as an impatient president-in-waiting.
"Biden, remember, is one of the few primary candidates in history who promised in advance to pick a running mate on the basis of gender and, as events would dictate, and by inference, race as well.
"But now there seems an additional urgency to select a running mate, given the Democratic ticket is a construct, with no visible or viable presidential candidate. While traditional polls show a sizable Biden lead, at some point voters will want more than the current contest of Trump alone versus the media, the virus, the lockdown, the economy, and the rioting. But so far, it remains a one-person race, in the fashion of Clint Eastwood’s weird 2012 Republican National Convention appearance speaking to an empty chair." . . .

Juan Williams Defends Portland Mayor — Kennedy Calls Wheeler ‘The Nutless Wonder’

Daily Caller   Fox News’ Juan Williams defended Democratic Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler, saying Friday that the real problem was federal law enforcement on the ground in his city amid protests.

Williams addressed the issue on “The Five,” arguing that federal law enforcement officers had been sent to Portland “for no reason,” and Fox Business host Lisa Kennedy was quick to push back with harsh criticism for Mayor Wheeler."

"Guest host and former Republican South Carolina Rep. Trey Gowdy posed the question to Williams, asking about Wheeler’s recent criticisms of violent protesters and why there had been no real outrage up to this point.
“ 'People are saying Ted Wheeler was negligent or something but I think he was very clear in saying that what those people were doing was violent and it was potentially murderous,” Williams replied. “He used the word murder, that it was wrong. So I think that’s a pretty clear line. I think people disagree about well, he should have been tougher earlier and the like but I don’t think there’s much disagreement from the left or the right when it comes to people who would set a fire and trap people in a building.”
"Williams went on to say that he agreed with Wheeler’s assessment that President Donald Trump was using the unrest to promote his own campaign, adding, “Trump wants to undermine the power of the peaceful protests in his country." . . .

Civil War Battlefields: The Left’s Next Target In The War On History

Democrat from NY, the state of Mayor Bill de Blasio. We must save our hallowed historical places from the ravages of this current cultural fad. If these monuments go, what will be left of American history exhibits? What will protect memorials of the north as well?

Clarion News

"A bill sponsored by Rep. Nita Lowey (D-NY) has passed the House and is currently in the Senate for committee review and an eventual vote. H.R. 7608 is entitled the “State, Foreign Operations, Agriculture, Rural Development, Interior, Environment, Military Construction, and Veterans Affairs Appropriations Act.”
"The bill provides fiscal year 2021 appropriations for the Department of State, Department of Agriculture, the EPA, various foreign relations initiatives, and related programs. It is the “related programs” that has those who care about American history concerned. If one peruses the 772-page bill, they will find buried way down in the middle somewhere Sec. 442. It reads as follows:

REMOVAL OF COMMEMORATIVE CONFEDERATE WORKS: Notwithstanding any other provision of law or policy to the contrary, within 180 days of enactment of this Act, the National Park Service shall remove from display all physical Confederate commemorative works, such as statues, monuments, sculptures, memorials, and plaques, as defined by NPS, Management Policies 2006.

. . . " There are some twenty-five Civil War battlefields or related historical sites that would be subjected to the axe of H.R. 7608. That is because hallowed grounds like Antietam, Gettysburg, Chickamauga, Vicksburg, Manassas, Petersburg, etc., are under the auspices of the National Park Service. If this bill is passed, as it now reads and can be interpreted, within six months of its passage every monument to Confederate participants on the very locations of some of the biggest and bloodiest battles in American history would be removed.

"One can make a reasonable argument for taking down Confederate statues from the public square. After all, should African Americans on their way to work or just strolling the streets be forced to do so in the shadow of those who fought for an upstart nation that, had it been victorious, would have kept their race in chains?" . . .

The Battle of Gettysburg was a significant Union victory considered by many to be the turning point of the Civil War.
