Kamala -"I'm talking"- Harris Just Demonstrated, Once Again, How Clueless She Is About Americans

RedState  "Joe Biden and Kamala Harris have very strange views of Americans.

"It’s hard to pick from among the odd, racist views that Biden has expressed over the years. But perhaps one of the worst was when he was asked about slavery and reparations, and responded that parents (implying black parents) didn’t know how to raise their children, that they needed to keep the record player on at night." . . .

. . . "Kamala Harris refuses to say if she would agree to voter ID. But, she seemed to be trying to come up with some other way to ding voter ID requirements — when she tripped all over her own perceptions of rural Americans. Listen as she explains that it’s “almost impossible” for rural Americans to photocopy their IDs.". . . 


Her statement met with much derision:
Hi, I live on top of a mountain on the WV/VA border and I can photocopy my ID. I mean I do it while moonshining White Lightning while dueling banjos play in the background but I can still do it.
The interviewer is thinking “Should I tell her everyone, in India ,who’s eligible to vote has picture ID. Talk about rural.” They couldn’t make it anymore obvious they want to cheat.
Replying to
Or POSSIBLE to prove who they are. Man, how do #RuralAmericans get by doing business with telegraph and horse and buggy these days? All while waiting for the tech to show up to make sure the tractor and planter runs without driver input I guess? Or while they clean their guns? hmm

Kamala Harris Slammed for 'Kinkos' Comment in Discussing Rural Americans and Voter ID ..."I hate to tell you Kamala, but just because someone isn’t a coastal elite doesn’t mean they’re dumb!"...
It’s true. I just moved from a rural town and the only photocopier we had was an old Amish man named Malaki who would produce a sketch on parchment paper in exchange for three bushels of hay and two ears of corn.

Kamala Harris: The last Democrat holdout arguing against voter I.D.  "Democrats, even the crazy ones such as Stacey Abrams, have backed away from their call for zero photo I.D. in order to vote. Their argument that black people are incapable of getting I.D. is essentially racist. More important, from their point of view, the voters are squarely are not in their tree. Voter I.D. is a common-sense measure practiced in all civilized countries and voter polls support it. They still want to win in 2022, so they've moved away from that stance like a bad smell from a backed-up sewer.". . . 



Resisting The Left's Push To Balkanize America

 American Thinker  "Today, though, when Dr. King’s words calling for a color-blind America are considered racist, we have surely lost our way. This is both frightening and destructive.

"The Democrats’ divisions, of course, go deeper than race, with people divided by sex, sexuality, and disability, among other things. This too is dangerous. Over one hundred years ago, in 1915, Teddy Roosevelt stated that America cannot become a hyphenated nation: “There is no room in this country for a hyphenated Americanism.”

"While Roosevelt was speaking then of those claiming to be Irish-American, Italian-American, or Catholic-American, he saw how dangerous it was for Americans to categorize themselves by race, ethnicity, religion, and color. Add in gender and sexuality and the divisions begin to run very deep.

. . . "We must not let Lincoln’s warning or Khrushchev’s boast prove correct. While some Americans may be Lenin’s famous “useful idiots,” our enemies are no fools. They profit from, and therefore help foment, our dissension. A divided nation falls more easily than a unified one and a democracy must die when it breaks into fighting tribal factions. Our enemies know this. Meanwhile...Dr. King and Dr. Graham weep."

Democrat leaders are blaming White people, capitalism for their own failures

  Liam Brooks

But there's one indisputable fact that's as certain as the sun rising in the morning and politicians spending more money: Progressives are almost always guilty of doing exactly what they accuse their opponents of doing.


. . . "The biggest lie that has been repeated ad nauseam by the left over the past eighteen months is that this country is "systemically racist."  Enter Rep. Cori Bush (Marxist-Mo.), arguably the most vile, racist lunatic in the United States Congress.  (Actually, it's probably a six-way tie, as the other five members of the so-called "Squad" are equally repugnant.)  Bush solidified her spot as a top America-hater and racist when she posted a series of disgusting tweets over the July 4 weekend.  A prime example was her ludicrous assertion that blacks are still not free in America.

"When they say that the 4th of July is about American freedom," she ranted, "remember this: the freedom they're referring to is for white people.  This land is stolen land and Black people still aren't free."

That may come as a surprise to the likes of Barry and Michelle Obama, Oprah Winfrey, LeBron James, Don Lemon, et al., all of whom are fabulously wealthy and idolized by millions of people from all races.  But since all of them are "woke," you won't hear even a whisper of dissent directed at Rep. Bush.  In fact, they're likely to agree with her.  Then they'll make lucrative donations to Black Lives Matter, allowing the founder to purchase a few more luxury homes.  Not bad for a Marxist who lives in a slave state. 

"But Rep. Bush was far from being done.  Though no name was mentioned, she next targeted Tucker Carlson.

Thousands of Teachers Vow To Defy State Bans on Critical Race Theory

Tony Branco

 Free Beacon

Leftist groups and teachers' unions support the radical curriculum

"Thousands of teachers are pledging to teach critical race theory in the face of state laws seeking to ban it from classrooms.

"More than 5,000 educators have signed the Zinn Education Project’s "Pledge to Teach the Truth" since June 21. In the letter, the leftist education group claims the United States was founded on "structural racism and oppression"—tenets of the Marxist-based ideology called critical race theory.

" 'We, the undersigned educators, refuse to lie to young people about U.S. history and current events—regardless of the law," the pledge reads.

"Legislatures in several states have passed bills to restrict educators from teaching critical race theory to students. Florida’s education board outright banned teachers from using material from the New York Times’s 1619 Project. Teachers in Idaho are banned from teaching that any race or sex is inherently inferior or superior to another. And Rep. Glenn Grothman (R., Wis.) introduced a bill in the House that would prohibit teachers and students in the District of Columbia from making confessions about inherent racism based on skin color." . . ."

The Zinn Education Project is not alone in its crusade. Two of the nation’s top teachers’ unions have pledged millions of dollars to advance critical race theory in the K-12 classroom. The National Education Association, the country's largest teachers' union, voted to spend $127,600 advancing critical race theory at its annual conference last week. The American Federation of Teachers promised $2.5 million to fund lawsuits against critical race theory bans.

The Credo of the Catholic Democrats

The American Spectator

They issue a declaration of independence from Church teaching.

The boldness of the heretics grows in proportion to the timidity of the bishops. By not controlling their own sacraments, the bishops have allowed the enemies of the Church to control them. Even the supposedly “conservative” bishops have no intention of withholding Communion from these defiant pols.

"Almost 60 Catholic Democrats in the U.S. House of Representatives recently released a statement declaring their “principles.” The statement is a classic illustration of modern liberalism’s one-sided conception of church-state relations: the church should never lecture the state, but the state is free to lecture the church. The statement is also a snapshot of the pitiful imbalance of power and confusion in the Catholic Church: heretics, far from fearing clerics, feel emboldened to instruct bishops on what they can and cannot do.

"Enjoying the protection of the media and exploiting the divisions in the Church, heretical Catholic politicians can grandstand with impunity. Congressman Ted Lieu’s (D-Calif.) hotdogging tweet to the bishops captures the mood of the moment:

. . . "So it is not entirely clear why those 60 Catholic Democrats even needed to issue their petulant statement. They are pushing on an open door. The statement is notable only for its arrogance. They, of course, invoke the “separation of church and state” before dictating to the bishops how they should interpret canon law and Eucharistic theology. The point of the statement is: Don’t tell us how to do our jobs, but listen up as we tell you how to do yours. One of the more ludicrous lines in the statement is this: “To pursue a blanket denial of the Holy Eucharist to certain elected officials would indeed grieve the Holy Spirit and deny the evolution of that individual, a Christian person who is never perfect, but living in the struggle to get there.” These Democrats claim an expertise on what will “grieve the Holy Spirit,” but they see nothing grievous in their support for hundreds of thousands of abortions a year.". . . 

Remember when Lieu and Candace Evans faced off in a committee hearing?

The Real Threats to Our Democracy

Conrad Black

Electoral shenanigans and the abdication of judicial responsibility are the real threats to our democracy. Let the audits proceed.

Hiding the vote count from us all

"In the Wall Street Journal of June 10, Peggy Noonan captured the kernel of the crisis of national division that afflicts America: Donald Trump and opposed perceptions of last year’s presidential election. Equitable person though Noonan is, she qualifies as a Trump-hater, whose invective against Trump has only escalated over time.

"Noonan’s premise today is that any question about the 2016 presidential election is unfounded conspiracism, but that suspicion is growing, spread by “the Trump underworld—the operatives, grifters, and media figures around him  . . .  This lessens our faith in our systems   . . . it leaves the GOP with an untreated cancer.” She holds that “QAnon is important” in propagating this fraud. She thinks that anyone who wasn’t appalled by the storming of the Capitol on January 6 has given up on democracy. Lingering concern about the fairness of the result is in itself an assault upon democracy. “The breaching of the Capitol happened because of a conspiracy theory: that the election was actually won by Mr. Trump but stolen from him by bad people.”

"She makes no allowance for exactly the opposite view: that there is ample evidence that Trump was sandbagged in rigged voting and vote-counting in only six states, stonewalled by the courts, and defamed by a unanimous national political media: the courts couldn’t face overturning the election, and the media can’t accept the idea that it was a tainted election. I agree with her that “the only thing that can stop” (the cancer that supposedly afflicts the GOP, even if it is in fact benign righteousness) “is true facts independently developed and presented with respect and receipts.” 

"This is correct but the analysis of the causes of the current dangerous division in the country’s political life must start—not with the invasion of the Capitol, which has already been investigated and yields nothing damaging to Trump—but with a serious analysis of the election results in six states: Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. The election went off without a hint of a problem in 44 states. In the six states named there were changes to voting and vote-counting rules adopted supposedly to respond to the difficulties imposed by the pandemic and often in constitutionally questionable ways. " . . .

J’Accuse! America’s Dreyfus Affair unfolds in Minneapolis

Bookworm

What happened to Derek Chauvin has disturbing parallels to France’s famed Dreyfus affair 127 years ago.

. . . "In 1894, Alfred Dreyfus, a Jewish officer in the French army, was convicted of treason – despite it being obvious that he was not guilty but was being railroaded. Four years later, once the facts were fully known, Émile Zola, the famed novelist, famously wrote an open letter under the headline “J’Accuse,” accusing the French military of a deliberate cover-up. I can’t help but see parallels to that in Derek Chauvin’s railroading in a Minneapolis courtroom.

"As French Jews discovered when the Nazis invaded, while many French people disliked the Nazis, they disliked the Jews even more. From the collaborating Vichy government on down, a disgraceful number were happy to connive with the Nazis to get rid of the Jews in their communities. The Jews should have expected this because they had a foretaste of French antisemitism in 1894 with the infamous Dreyfus affair.

"The bare bones of the story are that Alfred Dreyfus was born into an affluent and assimilated Jewish family. He attended the famed École Polytechnique and, after graduating, joined the military. He achieved the rank of captain and ended up serving in the War Ministry.

"In 1894, Dreyfus found himself accused of selling military secrets to the German military attaché. He was arrested in mid-October and, by mid-December, he’d been convicted and given a life sentence. Four months later, he was off to the heinous penal colony on Devil’s Island, in the waters off French Guiana, which had a mortality rate that reached 75%.

"Dreyfus’s conviction and imprisonment might not even have made the local papers were it not for the fact that the entire case was driven by virulent anti-Semitism, which was the Critical Race Theory of its day. It was obvious to all involved in the case that the evidence introduced against him was always weak and often implausible. Even the meanest intelligence could see that he was being railroaded because he was Jewish. Britannica sums it up thusly:

Although he denied his guilt and although his family consistently supported his plea of innocence, public opinion and the French press as a whole, led by its virulently anti-Semitic faction, welcomed the verdict and the sentence. In particular, the newspaper La Libre Parole, edited by Édouard Drumont, used Dreyfus to symbolize the supposed". . .  disloyalty of French Jews.

MSNBC Agrees With Radical Race-Baiter: GOP Wants ‘American Apartheid’

 

Image by Hardstark & Pincay


"In wake of President Biden huddling, on Thursday, with radical left-wing activists who pretend to be “civil rights leaders,” MSNBC on Friday touted National Urban League President Marc Morial coming out after that meeting and hurling the vile accusation that Republican-sponsored voting reforms and the U.S. Supreme Court were conspiring to create “American apartheid.” Rather than fact-check such a horrendous lie, the partisan cable channel endorsed the disgusting rhetoric instead.

“Civil rights leaders gathering with President Biden....We know they want more action on federal voting rights,” anchor Chris Jansing announced while filling in for Stephanie Ruhle in the 9:00 a.m. ET hour. She eagerly pointed out that “all of this is happening after the Supreme Court upheld Arizona voting restrictions and the president of the Urban League, Marc Morial, talked about that after the meeting at the White House.' ”. . .
