A Campaign Of ‘Joy’? Lets make Kamala's cackle a feature instead of a bug! Call it JOY!

 I & I Editorial Board  

Brancotoon added by TD

"The Democratic talking points were issued and the media enthusiastically accommodated: The Harris-Walz campaign is now a moveable feast of joy. But there’s nothing even remotely joyful about Kamala Harris’ and Tim Walz’s political orientation. Their positions are founded on militancy and just plain meanness.

"The media are nothing but shills for the Democratic Party. They are so willing to please that they will run with whatever theme the party tells them to. Take a look at recent headlines. 

" 'Harris Used to Worry About Laughing. Now Joy Is Fueling Her Campaign,” says the New York Times.

“Harris is pushing joy,” according to the Associated Press’ surely unbiased reporting.

"The British Guardian swears that the “Democrats’ joy is unconfined,” while ABC News wants Americans to know that “early Harris-Walz rallies feature big crowds, talk of ‘joy.’”

"National Public Radio says “Harris and Walz reintroduce joy,” as the Washington Post declares that “​​Harris and Walz seize on joyful message in contrast to darker Trump themes.” And from Salon’s perspective, “Vibes matter: Trump can hardly restrain his jealousy over the Harris campaign’s joy.”

"And on it goes. The media should be deeply embarrassed about their we-worship-Kamala cheerleading, their eagerness to please the Democrats and follow their orders, which evidently include conveniently forgetting that Harris is a nasty, abusive boss who runs a toxic office.

"But they’re not. With rare exception, the “journalists” of the last three decades have been nothing more than courtiers for the party of the left.

"If they weren’t, they’d press the Harris-Walz axis about its:" . . .

Support for censorship. “A Harris-Walz administration would be a nightmare for free speech,”  George Washington University law professor Jonathan Turley wrote last week in The Hill. “For over three years, the Biden-Harris administration has sustained an unrelenting attack on the freedom of speech, from supporting a massive censorship system (described by a federal court as an ‘Orwellian Ministry of Truth‘) to funding blacklisting operations targeting groups and individuals with opposing views.”

The Washington Examiner notes that even before she ran for president, “Harris already had a well-established history of using government power to silence voices she does not like.” 

Censors are not happy people. They are spiteful and perpetually discontented.

Kamala Harris’ laugh is the ‘biggest, destructive, negative force’ in American politics ever

California Sheriff Blasts Harris For Using His Image in ‘Misleading’ Campaign Ad, Says He Supports Trump

 Debra Heine 

"The truth is, Harris never cared about the cartels and did nothing to stop people from illegally crossing the border,” Boudreaux said. The sheriff made note of Harris’ haughty attitude during the 2014 visit." . . .

"California sheriff is slamming Kamala Harris over her ‘misleading’ political ad that fraudulently touted her border security record while using his image without permission.

"The video features Tulare County Sheriff Mike Boudreaux and other local and state law enforcement officers flanking then Attorney General Harris during her visit to the Central Valley in 2014.

" 'In light of a recent political ad put out by Kamala Harris featuring Sheriff Boudreaux, as well as other local law enforcement, the Sheriff wants to make it abundantly clear that his image is being used without his permission, and he does NOT endorse Harris for President or any other political office,” the sheriff said in a statement issued to Fox News Digital.

"Boudreaux has spent 37 years in the Tulare County Sheriff’s Office and is currently president of the California State Sheriffs’ Association.

" 'As a matter of fact, I would like to point out the misleading information projected in that same political ad. In the ad, Harris claims to have spent decades fighting violent crime as a ‘border state prosecutor,’” Boudreaux stated.

"The ad claims: “As a border state prosecutor, she took on drug cartels and jailed gang members for smuggling weapons and drugs across the border.”  Harris’ campaign ad also dubiously states that she will “hire thousands more border agents and crack down on fentanyl and human trafficking.”

"Boudreaux and other law enforcement officials in Southern California were outraged that Harris would take credit for fighting crime at the border when she allegedly only “undercut” their efforts.". . .

Sadly this is behind a paywall: Kamala’s Media Bodyguards  "Her record on crime and immigration is abysmal but the media won't admit it." 

“Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered.

Don't expect MSNBC to tell you details on this; Joy Reid will call the article racist right out of the "Jim Crow" handbook. It's what she does. TD 

The Woke 2024 Olympics: Where Men Were Allowed to Punch Women

 Dennis Prager   Women who devoted their lives to the grueling sport of boxing and the goal of one day winning an Olympic gold medal were cheated out of the possibility. 

"Former President Donald Trump said essentially the same thing. Vice President Kamala Harris has thus far said nothing."


"This past weekend, two biologically male boxers won gold medals in women’s boxing at the Paris Olympics. On Friday, Imane Khelif of Algeria won the gold medal in the women’s welterweight division. On Saturday, Lin Yu-Ting of Taiwan won the gold medal in the women’s featherweight division.

"As reported by Boxing News, the oldest boxing publication in the world:

" 'Khelif has documented male XY chromosomes. Khelif—along with Lin Yu-Ting, of Taiwan—was banned from boxing at the world championships last year, this because of the fact that Khelif, and Yu-Ting, was proven to be biological male.”

"Why did the International Olympic Committee allow biological men to box women?

"The reason is that the IOC is a woke organization. And given that the Olympics took place in a particularly woke locale—Paris—the games featured almost everything that the word “woke” represents.

The games opened with a drag queen mockery of Christianity.

Due to farm animals’ alleged impact on climate, 60% of the Olympic athletes’ food was vegan (not even vegetarian). According to The Australian, the Australian government flew in “more than 700 kilograms of eggs and a ton of extra meat” to feed Australian athletes.

Also to combat climate change, athletes’ dorms were not allowed to have air conditioning. They were to be cooled, in the words of The Washington Post, “by other cooling methods.” But few countries relied on “other cooling methods,” so they shipped in portable air conditioning units—all of which ended up doing what many green policies do: increasing the “carbon footprint.”

And true to its wokeness, the IOC forced women boxers to fight biological males. The IOC allowed male boxers to fight women despite the males having been previously banned from women’s boxing by the International Boxing Association ...

How 'Neighborly': Video Shows Police Pelting Minnesotans With Paintballs for Sitting on a Porch

America under today's Democrats

 Twitchy   "It feels like Tim Walz has been Kamala Harris's running mate for about 900 torturous years. It's almost shocking to look back and realize that the selection happened just over a week ago. Maybe the reason for that has been that, in that week, we have been subjected to an onslaught of relentless propaganda about Walz from the legacy media. He 'reads moderate,' he's 'neighborly,' he's 'folksy,' he wears flannel shirts, and -- this is the really creepy one -- he's like Democrats' 'daddy.'

"All nonsense. All lies. He is one of the farthest-left politicians in America, as far left as Harris, and just as creepy. 

"But maybe another reason it feels like it's been an eternity is that, in this same week, roughly 8,749 (approximate number) scandals surrounding Walz have surfaced, each more damning than the last. The COVID snitch line, the arson during the George Floyd riots, the creepy legislation around children and pedophiles, and of course, that one time Walz ran away from his National Guard unit before they deployed to Iraq and then lied about his service for two decades.". . .

But the pressing issue in Minnesota was not covid, but the George Floyd riots:

The post claims that law enforcement personnel are using paintball guns in light of a curfew surrounding COVID-19. However, the use of the National Guard in this video was in response to protests related to George Floyd within the city. 

Sizing up the candidates before MSNBC and CNN do

 The more inept the candidate, the more youthful the voices in their crowds. TD

Trump's winning strategy; Remember the lesson of McCain and Romney: If he won’t fight for himself, don’t expect him to fight for you. Donald Trump is not built that way. He fights.   . . ."This says a lot about where the Democrat Party is. Its vetters saw nothing wrong with Walz supporting trannies, lying about his military career, 30 visits to Red China and embracing a Hitler-loving radical sheikh. (OK, he’s an imam, not a sheikh.)" . . . 

The Independent reported "Donald Trump is set to sue the US Department of Justice for $100m in damages over the 2022 raid on his Mar-a-Lago estate less than a month after his classified documents case was overturned, according to a memo from his lawyers." . . .

AfterMath

"Kamala Harris doesn’t have any policies are her campaign website because her policies have destroyed the country over the last 3.5 years.

"This is why she stole Trump’s highly popular ‘no tax on tips’ idea.

"TIME Magazine shamelessly decoupled Harris from Joe Biden: “The reintroduction of Kamala Harris”. . .

CBS News Attacked Donald Trump’s ‘No Tax on Tips’ Proposal — Until Kamala Harris Copied Him   . . ."Notably, Harris is facing heavy backlash for copying the campaign promise, which Trump first announced, during her campaign rally on Saturday.

"Social media users reacted to the vice president’s remark with the hashtag #CopyCatKamala, pointing out that Trump had been campaigning on eliminating taxes on tips for months.

"To make matters worse, Harris voted in 2022 to pass legislation to allow the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) to track down workers’ tips so that they could be taxed." . . .

Bubble Girl; Hermetically Sealed Harris

. . ."When Kamala threatened to attend the ABC News debate even without Trump, I laughed myself silly. Does anyone believe that this woman could spend 90 minutes speaking without a script? I hope she goes through with it if for no other reason than to hand the Trump campaign tons of embarrassing video clips."


Kamala Harris Campaign Caught Red-Handed Faking Press Headlines to Spread Disinformation

RedState

There is no doubt in my mind that this would be a major scandal if the Trump campaign were involved. Could you imagine the screams of "disinformation" and threatened lawsuits from press organizations? 

"The Kamala Harris campaign has been editing press headlines and putting the fake versions in ads as a way to spread disinformation. That's according to a new report that found multiple instances of Google ads being manipulated without the consent of the various news organizations linked to the false headlines."

The Harris campaign has been editing news headlines and descriptions within Google search ads that make it appear as if the Guardian, Reuters, CBS News and other major publishers are on her side, Axios has found. 

Why it matters: It's a common practice in the commercial advertising world that doesn't violate Google's policies, but the ads mimic real news results from Search closely enough that they have news outlets caught off guard. 

  • According to Google's ad transparency center, the Trump campaign isn't running these types of ads, but this technique has been used by campaigns before.
  • The ads say that they are sponsored, but it's not immediately clear that the text that accompanies real news links is written by the campaigns and not by the media publication itself.

"In true Axios fashion, the outlet tries to downplay what's occurring, calling it a "common practice in commercial advertising." I'm skeptical that's true. While it may be more common in a non-political context, I've never seen this happen in the political world. That's not to say that some ads haven't taken headlines out of context, but to actually change them and then stick them on Google as if they were real seems like a bridge too far. Yes, there's the "Sponsored" tag attached, but that doesn't immediately indicate to the average user they are fake." . . .

Walz's ties to anti-Jewish people

 Updated 8/14/2024

https://www.terrellaftermath.com/

Gabe Kaminsky and Ben Shapiro detail report on Tim Walz’s ties to Hitler-promoting cleric  

Tim Walz Under Siege: Kamala’s ‘Cowardly’ VP Pick ‘Repeatedly’ Hosted Muslim Cleric Who Celebrated Oct. 7 Massacre — as His ‘Stolen Valor’ Scandal Deepens (msn.com)   "Democratic vice presidential nominee Tim Walz is facing massive backlash for hosting a Muslim cleric who celebrated Hamas‘s October 7 attack on Israel last year and abandoning his National Guard unit before they were deployed to Iraq.

"Knewz.com has learned that in May 2023, Asad Zaman, head of the Muslim American Society of Minnesota, joined other Muslim leaders for a meeting about mosque security with Walz’s office in Minnesota.

. . ."In the last few years, Imam Asad Zaman has used his Facebook page to share official Hamas press releases, blog posts from antisemitic sites, and a 2015 link to a pro-Hitler film, “The Greatest Story Never Told.”

"According to the Anti-Defamation League, the neo-Nazi propaganda film is infamous for being antisemitic and popular among fringe anti-jewish groups." . . .



‘Most Radical Anti-Semitic Ticket:’ Elise Stefanik Slams Tim Walz For Appearing With Anti-Israel Leader   . . ."Walz came under fire last week after it was revealed that he hosted extremist Islamist Imam, Asad Zaman, multiple times. Zaman met with Walz’s gubernatorial office as recently as May 2023. Zaman, who is the executive director at the Muslim American Society of Minnesota, has a history of sharing his Facebook page to share Hamas press releases, anti-Semitic blogs, and a link to a piece on a website for a  2013 pro-Hitler film, the Washington Examiner reported." . . .

UPDATE:VIDEO: Tim Walz Described Pro-Hitler Muslim Cleric as a ‘Master Teacher’ in 2018   "The Washington Examiner‘s Gabe Kaminsky unearthed a video of presumptive Democratic VP candidate Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz praising Imam Asad Zaman at an Islamic center event.

"Zaman is the director of Minnesota’s Muslim American Society, which has received “over $100,000 in funding” under Walz.

"Zaman celebrated when Hamas invaded Israel, slaughtered thousands, and kidnapped hundreds. He has promoted a movie that glorifies Adolf Hitlershared Hamas propaganda, and cited antisemitic websites.

"Kaminsky wrote:

“I would like to first of all say thank you to imam,” Walz said at the unearthed 2018 event, which was hosted by Minnesota’s Muslim American Society on Feb. 16, 2018, at the South Metro Islamic Center in Rosemount, Minnesota. Standing next to Walz as he spoke was Peggy Flanagan, now the lieutenant governor in the Gopher State." . . . Video         Douglas Murray: Why I Care So Much About Israel?

For Fox News Congressional Correspondent Aishah Hasnie, Afghanistan Crisis Hits Close to Home

 Adweek  

"She received her B.A. in Broadcast Journalism from Indiana University where she was a Dick Yoakam Broadcast Journalism Scholar. That gift inspired her to give back in 2010 by awarding a scholarship to a journalism student at IU. She currently mentors several working journalists." Aishah Hasnie | Fox 59

 "Aishah Hasnie is still unpacking boxes in her new Washington apartment after starting her new role as Fox News congressional correspondent about a week ago. However, she’s not your typical correspondent covering Capitol Hill. The Pakistani-American who grew up in Southern Indiana went on Fox last week, and informed her on-air colleagues and viewers that three of her friends have family members who are struggling mightily in Afghanistan right now, and how time is not on their side.

“ 'I have three good friends, each of their families are in hiding right now, essentially as they put it, ‘waiting on their death sentence,'” Hasnie said last Thursday on America Reports.

"Hasnie updated TVNewser on the status of these relatives, and what they’re experiencing on the ground. She also spoke about her own journey from local news in Illinois and Indiana to one of the most visible on-air jobs in Fox’s news division. She grew up a Muslim in a predominately white Indiana town, described how her upbringing and faith inform her life off-air, and whether it has posed any challenges as she moves up the professional ladder.

“ 'I am a deeply faithful person. I’m Muslim, and I pray five times a day,” Hasnie told TVNewser. “My prayers are often around: ‘God, what do you want me to do with this role?’ ‘What am I supposed to do?’ ‘How am I supposed to help people?'” . . .

MSNBC, Jemele Hill, Brian Stelter Silent on Joy Reid's Racist Rant Calling White Sen. 'Mayonnaise Sandwich'

OutKick   "MSNBC is the self-appointed police force for racist comments in American society. Not a day goes by when at least one of the pundits at the network does not label someone a "racist" – even if they are not actually a racist.

"Yet, last week, one of MSNBC's own went on another overtly racist rant against white people. Primetime host Joy Reid thanked Kamala Harris for not picking Arizona Sen. Mark Kelly as her running mate because, unlike Tim Walz, Kelly is "super white."

"Err, not just "super white. 

"According to Reid, Sen. Kelly is "like a mayonnaise sandwich on Wonder bread white."

"OutKick asked MSNBC for comment. The network did not respond. MSNBC does not respond to inquiries regarding Reid's bigotry. We've tried before.

The 'Race Lady'

"Translation: a network that proclaims zero tolerance for racism, refuses to condemn one of its leading hosts for spewing racism for profit.

"It's not just MSNBC that's silent. 

"Where are media critics Brian Stelter and Oliver Darcy? The two of them have long stalked conservative pundits to take their comments out of context, to frame them as racists. Somehow, Stelter and Darcy have nothing to say about Reid's racist rant.

"Nor does Media Matter for America, a George Soros-funded media organization of radical smear merchants. 

"Where is fellow race lady Jemele Hill, who is always on the prowl to call someone racist? 

"Hill defended MSNBC last month, claiming the network is neither radical nor left-wing. Since, her galpal Reid accused Trump of faking his assassination attempt, likened GOP voters to Nazis, and called white people "mayonnaise."

"For those who don't speak anti-white, "mayonnaise" is a derogatory term the anti-white brigade uses to refer to white people they do not like – like our pal Bishop Talbert Swan. " . . .

Trump on X Taps Into a Voting Bloc That Legacy Media Doesn't Even Know Exists

RedState

"The legacy media is so focused on rebranding Kamala Harris and running interference for Tim Walz that they cannot even recognize the brilliance of this pivot. X is the one platform that isn't working overtime to either ignore, misrepresent, or drown out Trump's campaign and message. . ."


"As my colleague Bonchie reported, Axios reporter Sara Fischer appeared on CNN to complain about former President and GOP nominee Donald Trump having an unfettered microphone with Elon Musk on X. 

"The Monday night conversation hails Trump's return to the X (formerly Twitter) platform where he was unceremoniously booted almost four years before, and it has the entire legacy media complex shook.

"As my colleague streiff also reported, a Washington Post reporter asked the Biden Press Secretary whether this interview could be stopped, because "misinformation," or something...

"Bizarre to binary thinkers like Farah Griffin and her ilk. Once again, the voting bloc Trump is aiming for with this X interview wouldn't bother to tune into the screech fest where Farah Griffin wastes her days. 

"And how is she so sure that it gains nothing with undecided and swing voters? The people who tend to make up this demo do not respond to debates, and the media noise gives them a headache. But a conversation where Trump gets to lay out policy, discuss how the assassination attempt affected him, and define his opponent? That is something they can be drawn into. 

"So, who knows how many hearts and minds are being changed by hearing a non-adversarial and conversational Trump?" . . .  

Kamala's gaslighting has a bad time.

"While a statement from the sheriff said that he does not endorse "any other political office," he said on Fox News that former President Donald Trump, the Republican nominee, best represents "someone who's going to support criminal justice and law enforcement" over Harris."

California Sheriff Slams Kamala Harris Over 'Misleading' Ad (msn.com)  "California sheriff issued a scorching attack on Vice President Kamala Harris after his image was featured in a new political ad in which she touts border security.

"Tulare County Sheriff Mike Boudreaux described the ad from the Harris campaign, which shows him and other law enforcement officials standing behind Harris during a press conference, as "deceiving" during an appearance on Fox News on Tuesday.

" 'I can tell you that here in California, we're ready for someone that's going to support law enforcement. Kamala Harris and law enforcement in California—we're very familiar with her and how she has done over the course of years as a senator and as a prosecutor and as the attorney general. And I can tell you that this ad is deceiving, to say the least," Boudreaux said.

" 'I remember this particular case where we did a drug cartel or a drug trafficking organization where we worked with the DEA. And in this particular case, she showed up, she didn't shake anyone's hands, and she was, she quickly left the briefing room," he continued. "So for me in law enforcement to see my face and image along with my law enforcement counterparts being represented as standing alongside Kamala Harris was truly disheartening. We do not support Kamala Harris." . . .

‘Astonishing’: Douglas Murray blasts Kamala Harris for ‘lecturing’ Israeli PM about war  "Author Douglas Murray has blasted Vice President Kamala Harris for “lecturing” Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu about the war in Gaza.

"Ms Harris has been criticised for her comments about the war in Gaza where she claimed the conflict is not a “binary issue” and encouraged people to acknowledge the “complexity” of the situation. “ 'What is her great expertise in warfare or indeed, in anything much, to start lecturing an ally that is at war with an enemy that wishes to annihilate it? It's astonishing to me,” Mr Murray told Sky News host Rita Panahi." . . .


"I have to hand it to former President Donald Trump. He certainly is fearless when it comes to going anywhere to get his message out there. He's shown he'll go into hostile media territory; he's shown he'll go into deep blue areas to reach out to Americans. He did a press conference last week where he took all kinds of questions. He did an X Spaces conversation with X CEO Elon Musk on Monday night. The Spaces tweet had millions of impressions, and they had over a million people in the Spaces event — that's even with X suffering a DDOS attack over the interview. But the point is Trump is willing to put himself out there. 
"Meanwhile, Kamala Harris is not. She has been ducking normal questions and won't even do friendly interviews. And she's refused to accept debate dates that Trump has agreed to, while falsely trying to accuse him of ducking them." . .  .

. . ."The look on Goldman's face was priceless. He seemed taken aback when his gaslighting was cut short by reality. It almost sounded like he had old talking points and hadn't updated them. Either way, he looked pretty darn foolish, either truly ignorant or lying his head off. But at this point, Democrats don't seem to care about the truth. They're just saying anything they can to try to help Harris, regardless of whether it's true or not.  

‘Absolute trash’: TIME magazine slammed for glittering Kamala Harris cover story (Updated)

Sky News

"TIME magazine has been slammed online over its new front cover featuring Vice President Kamala Harris on Monday.

"The magazine’s front cover and story fawned over the Democratic presidential nominee, with the words “her moment” attached to the picture. "The front cover was posted to X, with social media users blasting the article as “propaganda”. "Time magazine is absolute trash. The impending collapse/demise of this 'media' outfit will be celebrated widely," one user wrote. "Author Charlotte Alter wrote a glittering story on the former prosecutor in TIME's new issue. "Alter wrote that, "Harris has pulled off the swiftest vibe shift in modern political history". "The writer defended Harris, stating her 2020 Democratic primary performance and time as VP didn’t allow her to “showcase her talents”.
