CNN Analyst Agrees: Kamala 'Incredibly Weak' to Bring Chaperone to CNN Interview

  HotAir  

And if after all this time Harris still needs a wingman and minder when doing an interview on CNN ... why should we have any confidence in her ability to deal with Russia, China, or Iran as the head of state?

"Smart strategy or "weak sauce"? Or both? 

"Kamala Harris finally committed to doing a sit-down interview with a major media outlet, choosing CNN's Dana Bash as her questioner. As John noted yesterday, though, she's bringing her "dad" along -- running mate Tim Walz. The aspirational VP hasn't done a media interview or press conference either since joining the ticket, but Politico explained yesterday that Walz has no idea what Harris' agenda is and worries about contradicting her later positions ... assuming she takes any. 

"Hence, it might be a smart strategy to put them together in the first major interview. There's another more important strategic reason to do so too. By pairing them together, the campaign hopes that Bash and CNN will focus on their relationship a lot more than on issues and policies, turning this into a human-interest interview rather than a hard-hitting political interrogatory.

"CNN's own analyst Scott Jennings sees through both strategies, calling it "incredibly weak" to assign a wingman to a major-party nominee. He told Anderson Cooper last night on the air that this betrays a lack of confidence in Harris by her handlers and strategists: . . ."

Biden's Speech: Told by an Idiot . . .

Biden's Speech: Told by an Idiot, Full of Sound and Fury: Ann Coulter   

It's Trump's fault that the Democratic Party and media helpers responded to Floyd's death by whipping BLM and antifa into a murderous rage.

"President Joe Biden's speech in Chicago on Monday night reveals the true nature of today's Democratic Party. As the world now knows, he obviously had no concept of anything being done in his name over the past four years. Instead, his presidency was a joint project of his longtime advisers, important Democratic constituencies, his vice president, and that nice Filipino lady who helps him to the commode several times a day.

"That's the only explanation for why this aggressively moderate Democrat presided over the most left-wing administration in U.S. history. The committee actually running the government managed to push through nearly everything on progressives' wish list: fully open borders; 66% of judicial nominees women, and 66% minorities; the first transgender Cabinet member; student loan forgiveness; a major clamp-down on oil production, and on and on.

"So what did the id of the Democratic Party have to say for itself the other night?

"Biden began with the lie he's been repeating since announcing for president in 2019: that Donald Trump called neo-Nazis "very fine people." This yarn has just surpassed "The Protocols of the Elders of Zion" as the most debunked hoax in all of recorded history.

"What Trump actually said is on videotape. Could somebody on Biden's staff look it up? For the 8 millionth time, Trump said:

"You had people -- and I'm not talking about the neo-Nazis and the white nationalists, because they should be condemned totally. But you had many people in that group other than neo-Nazis and white nationalists. OK? And the press has treated them absolutely unfairly.

"Now, in the other group also, you had some fine people. But you also had troublemakers ..."

"Biden's entire presidency is based on this lie. Despite having run for president about 47 times before, he says the only reason he ran in 2020 was because Trump called Nazis "very fine people."

"What kind of sociopath repeats the same lie, in defiance of video evidence, for five years?"

"The kind of sociopath whose followers know he's lying and don't care, also known as "joyous warriors." (Also, mere simpletons.)"...

Wow: The left is actually proud of its lies - American Thinker 

Face of U.S. Media

 "There is a serious consequence to the fact that the nation’s socialist media are the marketing arm of the DNC.  They are the gaslighting gatekeepers, the people who decide who is to be slapped with a “fact check” and suppressed and who is sanctioned as a “trusted source” and who is ignored.  Thus, the media are free to propagate any propaganda for what is obviously their
side, while mercilessly attacking pro-freedom media sources for the “crime” of telling the truth.

"This means that the left has become overly dependent on lies.  Lying is the left’s only way to move “forward.”  It also means that the pro-freedom side has had to defend itself rhetorically and, in doing so, has demolished some of the left’s most cherished lies and tropes.  Therefore, leftists become dependent on them, and we’ve become experts in taking them apart, depriving them of their last metaphorical weaponry." . . .

Harris Campaign: Asking Why She Didn't Implement Solutions She Says She Will 'Comical', Her Record 'Speaks for Itself'

 Breitbart (breitbart.com)  

"On Friday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “José Díaz-Balart Reports,” Harris-Walz Campaign Principal Deputy Campaign Manager Quentin Fulks responded to questions on why 2024 Democratic presidential candidate Vice President Kamala Harris hasn’t implemented the solutions she says she will as a candidate during her three-and-a-half years as Vice President by saying that such questions are “comical” and divisive and her record “speaks for itself.”

"Co-host José Díaz-Balart played video of 2024 Republican presidential candidate former President Donald Trump wondering why Harris hasn’t done the things she says she’s going to and then asked, “What’s your response to that?”

"Fulks answered, “I think it’s comical. I think that…Vice President Harris’ record as Vice President, as attorney general, as D.A. speaks for itself. Her and President Biden created nearly 16 million jobs, capped the cost of insulin at $35 a month for seniors, passed the largest bipartisan transportation and infrastructure bill in history, and the list goes on and on, climate. Donald Trump was a disaster for America, and the fact that he has no vision is why he continues to go back and try to make [this] about personal attacks. You would think that somebody who saw Vice President Harris’ remarks last night, after she said that she will be a president that represents all of America and that will bring us together, not divide us, that type of rhetoric from Donald Trump is exactly the contrast. He’s going to continue to traffic in division because he has no vision for this country. He’s going to continue to attack people because he’s small.' ” . . .

I have reached an agreement with the Radical Left Democrats for a Debate with Comrade Kamala Harris. It will be Broadcast Live on ABC FAKE NEWS, by far the nastiest and most unfair newscaster in the business, on Tuesday, September 10th, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The Rules will be the same as the last CNN Debate, which seemed to work out well for everyone except, perhaps, Crooked Joe Biden. The Debate will be “stand up,” and Candidates cannot bring notes, or “cheat sheets.” We have also been given assurance by ABC that this will be a “fair and equitable” Debate, and that neither side will be given the questions in advance (No Donna Brazile!). Harris would not agree to the FoxNews Debate on September 4th, but that date will be held open in case she changes her mind or, Flip Flops, as she has done on every single one of her long held and cherished policy beliefs. A possible third Debate, which would go to NBC FAKE NEWS, has not been agreed to by the Radical Left. GOD BLESS AMERICA.

Special Counsel Narrows Allegations Against Trump in 2020 Election Case in Superseding Indictment (legalinsurrection.com)

"Special Counsel Jack Smith filed a superseding indictment against Donald Trump in the 2020 election case in D.C.

"It’s doubtful the case will go to trial before the November election.

"Smith narrowed the allegations after the Supreme Court’s immunity decision but applied the same charges:

Today, a federal grand jury in the District of Columbia returned a superseding indictment, ECF No. 226, charging the defendant with the same criminal offenses that were charged in the original indictment. The superseding indictment, which was presented to a new grand jury that had not previously heard evidence in this case, reflects the Government’s efforts to respect and implement the Supreme Court’s holdings and remand instructions in Trump v. United States, 144 S. Ct. 2312 (2024). The Government does not oppose waiver of the defendant’s appearance for arraignment on the superseding indictment. See Fed. R. Crim. P. 10(b). As this Court directed, ECF No. 197, the Government will confer with the defense and make a joint proposal, to the extent possible, regarding pretrial litigation in the status report due Friday.. . .

How did the DNC learn to use lawfare? - American Thinker

How is the DNC able to carry out systematic lawfare?  Because the DNC is effectively a large law firm.  (Emphasis mine. TD)

. . ."Lawfare is, in reality, a replacement of markets and competition.  Lawfare seeks to bypass markets — meaning coalitions of voluntary associations — and enforce top-down direction.  The Harris party’s recent declaration of wage-price controls (an idea going back to LBJ’s administration) is a manifestation of this ideology, and it is the ideology of government with one purpose: choose all primary social objectives, make all rules, and enforce them.

When It Comes to Trump, Democrats Willing to Destroy Democracy

 Victor Davis Hanson (dailysignal.com)

. . ."Similar federal charges could just as easily have led to the indictment of Biden—if the special counsel in that case had not claimed that he could not convince a jury to convict a culpable but cognitively challenged Biden." . . .

"The 2023-2024 campaign season is not just the strangest on record, it’s also arguably the most anti-democratic.

"Ostensibly, the Democratic Party has claimed over the last decade that former President Donald Trump posed a continued and existential threat to the republic.

"That allegation subsequently justified a variety of anti-democratic means to neuter his first two presidential candidacies, his presidency, and now his third and final run for the White House.

"A near decade ago, we witnessed the 2015-2016 Hillary Clinton / Democratic National Committee / FBI-assisted effort to plant the false accusation of Trump-Russian collusion to warp the 2016 election.

"That gambit centered around the fraudulent Steele dossier and nearly fatally crippled the Trump 2016 campaign. That hoax would later sidetrack 22 months of his presidency before being proven a fantasy.

"On the eve of the 2020 election, the left next birthed the Russian laptop disinformation campaign. That hoax also warped a presidential debate with false charges that Hunter Biden’s own incriminating laptop was once again the work of Russians seeking to conspire with Trump.

"Those unusual efforts continued during the Biden administration.

"For the first time in election history, the allies of one campaign sought to persuade some 16 states to try to remove a major party’s likely nominee from their primary and general election ballots.

"The plan was to smother a Trump third presidential bid in its infancy, and thus once again not allow the people to accept or reject his candidacy.

"Nearly simultaneously, four federal, state, and local prosecutors filed dozens of felony charges against Trump.'

"They all shared some strange similarities.

Argus Hamilton's Rogue Report

 Argus Hamilton (jewishworldreview.com)  • Chicago bid farewell to the thousands of delegates and media in town for the Democratic Convention. Sometimes the jokes just write themselves. On Wednesday night the Democratic Party was scheduled to lay out a Vision for America and, I swear, they opened with a speech by Stevie Wonder.

 • Joe Biden's speech to the Democratic Convention Monday was cheered wildly by the thousands of delegates in the arena including his executioner Nancy Pelosi, bidding him goodbye. Joe's final moment as they ushered him offstage was like the ending of a classic movie. That movie was Old Yeller.

 • Bill Clinton spoke to the Democratic Convention Wednesday on behalf of his Clinton Initiative Foundation in Harlem. The Republicans set the dogs on him every day of his

presidency. Bill Clinton will go down in history as the only white Southerner ever to move to Harlem for his own personal safety. 

• Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi spoke at the Democratic Convention in Chicago on Wednesday and got a huge ovation. We all appreciate her selflessness. I'm watching the Big Board like a hawk to figure out if Nancy shorted the stock market or bought long the day before she got rid of the president.

 • Kamala Harris backed a tax on unrealized capital gains along with raising top end tax rates. She backs Senator Elizabeth Warren's proposed Wealth Tax, which would slap a flat tax on the size of fortunes over $50 million. Kamala Harris is like Elizabeth Warren, except that Kamala is a real Indian.

• The Chicago police kept protestors at bay during the Democratic Convention by using aggressive tactics Democrats usually protest. Last week the Chicago Police issued an APB reporting they're searching for a white racist shooter with a flat-top hair cut. Next day, they received 200 job applications. 

• Tim Walz told the convention he designated Minnesota a sanctuary state Wednesday. That night the AP reported a Venezuelan illegal alien tried to get into the convention hall but was denied entry due to his lack of photo ID and no © 2024 Argus Hamilton credentials. He was handed a mail-in ballot and escorted out the door. 

• President Biden's post-convention speech flew to Santa Ynez for vacation. When most countries in this hemisphere overthrow their leaders in a coup, they put them in front of a firing squad. But this is America where we promise to put them on Mt. Rushmore and fly them off to wine country for two weeks.

"For all the joy being peddled by Cacklin' Kamala and the Fascist Fabulist, they're not really all that "fun." For all the rewriting of contemporary history to wipe away those unsightly burps in their resumes that either frighten voters, anger them immensely, or cause such fits of hilarity that take some time to subside, Americans are all-too familiar with who Ms Harris is. And are constantly bewildered by the kaleidoscopic web of background stories available as her running mate's biography fills out...and out.

"They are both pretty nasty, shallow pieces of work who have gotten away with skating by on the mediocrity of their beings for so long that they would rather we didn't dwell on such trifles.

"There are pretty new facades being erected for us to ooh and ah at.

Part of the justification for those bazillions of new agents was to go after people who weren't reporting tips." . . .

"My take: “It really was a watershed moment, potentially, in how people look at what is happening in our politics and the reality that a lot of us have come to, that there is such a deep corruption that it is almost impossible to have a fair election anymore.” W.A.J.

"Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.’s statement today was dramatic and poignant, but also sad, in calling out the primary rigging, lawfare, and manipulation that forced him out of the Democratic Party and off ballots, and installed Kamala Harris as nominee without any voting process.

"Here’s an excerpt:

“It ran a sham primary that was rigged to prevent any serious challenge to President Biden. Then, when a predictably bungled debate performance precipitated the palace coup against President Biden, the same, shadowy DNC operatives appointed his successor also without an election they installed a candidate who was so unpopular with voters that she dropped out in 2020 without winning a single delegate. My uncle and my father both relished debate. They prided themselves on their capacity go toe-to-toe with any opponent in the battle over ideas. They would be astonished to learn of a Democratic party presidential nominee who, like Vice President Harris, has not appeared in a single interview or an unscripted encounter with voters for 35 days. This is profoundly undemocratic.”

"And another:

“What most alarms me isn’t how the Democratic Party conducts its internal affairs, or runs it candidates. What alarms me is the resort to censorship and media control, and the weaponization of the federal agencies. When a U.S. President colludes with or outright coerces media companies to censor political speech, it is an attack on our most sacred right of free expression, and that’s the very right upon which all of our other constitutional rights rest.” . . .
