Kamala: balloons and bubbles

Bubble Girl - by Diann Russell (substack.com) 

. . ."Last week, The Hill spoke to some Democrat strategists about Team Kamala’s strategy of keeping their nominee in a hermetically sealed bubble.

"While most warned that Kamala would eventually have to answer questions about her agenda, one thought the Bubble Girl strategy was brilliant. She told The Hill that Kamala didn’t need to do interviews or press conferences. Instead, the campaign should only trot her out at rallies to read prepared remarks while her team releases press statements to generate media buzz.

"That would only work if the sugar high that followed Biden’s withdrawal from the race doesn’t wear off. If the sugar high ends, voters will wonder why Harris hasn’t emerged from her bubble to make the case for herself and defend her record.

"With polls showing that Independents fear a Kamala presidency will deliver the same disastrous policies that Joe Biden saddled us with, keeping Kamala locked in her bubble will do nothing to ease their concerns." . . .

 The deflated Kamala balloon - American Thinker   . . ."The big Kamala coup, takeover, or whatever you want to call an illicit, autocratic seizing of power was rushed and ill conceived. The Democrats hastily cobbled together a convention and campaign worthy of a 5th grade Media Literacy assignment, inspired by the Obama spectacle from years ago. The only thing that wasn’t recycled was the Greek column props, which is unfortunate, since they would have made a good staging for the “Drag Queens for Kamala.”

Comment by Megan Draper, M.S. (Edited):  "You can't turn a 30% popularity rating into a majority of voters with a pep rally. Which is all the DNC basically was. We know about Kamala from the Biden Administration. And we're sick of the Trans drag queens, homosexual flags with the endless "pride" months and tampons in boy's room DEI segregation nonsense that has emanated from the White House under this fake regime put into power by fraud and deceit.

"America has been made the laughing stock of the world by Harris and the planet is on fire by the ineptitude of this fraudulent regime.

"And then there is Michelle with her million-dollar mansions from coast to coast standing there telling Americans that they need to give up things so others can have their "piece of the pie". Such------it."

Kamala schedules her first interview (it’s pre-recorded) but brings along Low-T Tim—is he an emotional support pup or her master? - Olivia Murray  ..."Kamala can’t even answer soft-ball scripted questions alone with agreeable “journalists,” for whatever reason, how are we supposed to expect that she can take on the world’s tyrants? That she can make tough but smart decisions? If a few fake news friendlies in a controlled environment with no “on air” pressure is enough to throw her off her game, heaven help us if she makes it to the White House as “president.”

"Everybody Loves Raymond" Star Patricia Heaton Says 'Christ's Biological Family is Being Murdered,' Argues Christians Must 'Stand' for 'Jews'

 RTM (resistthemainstream.com)  

"The actress also criticized what she called “left-wing, anti-Jewish professors” for influencing young minds."

"In a recent interview with PragerU CEO Marissa Streit, Hollywood actress Patricia Heaton, known for her roles in “Everybody Loves Raymond” and “The Middle,” issued a passionate plea for Christians to support Israel and the Jewish people. 

"Heaton’s comments come amid ongoing tensions in the Middle East and rising concerns about Jewish hate on college campuses.

"Heaton emphasized the religious connection between Christians and Jews, stating, “Christ’s biological family is being murdered.”

"'Our savior’s biological family, the Jewish people, are being murdered. We need to stand for them.” 

"She further explained that Christians are “grafted into Israel by the graciousness of God,” reinforcing her belief in the importance of solidarity.

"The actress expressed frustration with what she perceives as a lack of vocal support from the Catholic Church regarding the Israel-Hamas conflict.

"Heaton acknowledged the Church’s concern for Palestinian civilians but argued that Hamas bears responsibility for the current situation.

" Hamas started a war, Israel’s defending Israel and Israelis and Jews, and so Hamas has to deal with what they started,” she said.

"Heaton voiced alarm about the rise of anti-Semitism on college campuses, describing it as a “real problem.” . . .

Democrats are fractured, in-fighting and preparing for defeat

Don Surber (substack.com)

"This time, it is the Hyena versus the Lion. In both cases, the media wanted to give their favorite candidate the Cloak of Inevitability. Bear that in mind when you get a little down over the next 10 weeks. Campaigns are marathons but I do not believe the Lord spared Trump that assassin’s bullet to elect Kamala."

"This should be no contest. A failed vice president of a failed presidency is up against a successful president who has been indicted, convicted and shot. He’s a Timex watch who keeps on ticking.

"Oh, the fluffers in the press are trying to make Cackles look inevitable just like they made Cankles look inevitable up until Election Day 2016.

"But Democrats do not seem confident in Hyena Harris.

"Congressmen and senators seeking re-election dumped FJB only to have him replaced by his ignorant understudy. They had to pull the plug on the Demented One because the debate opened the curtain and showed he was just a humbug and not a wizard.

On June 28, AP reported, “President Joe Biden’s unsteady debate performance reverberated among candidates up and down the November ballot on Friday, but nervous Democratic candidates mostly kept their discomfort to themselves or downplayed it, even as gleeful Republicans looked to seize the opening.

" 'Wisconsin’s Democrat Sen. Tammy Baldwin, who is facing a tough reelection bid against a Trump-endorsed Republican, distanced herself from Biden and did not answer questions Friday about the debate or calls for him to be replaced at the top of the ticket.”

"Comrade Kamala is not running a presidential campaign. She is running an SOS campaign as in Save Our Senate. And Democrats cannot save the Senate because West Virginia, Montana and Ohio will flip. Chuck the Grillmaster Schumer wants to have a minority large enough to work with RINOs to stop Trump, something they have failed to do in two elections without an [unprecedented] mail-in cheating scam.

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.' ” . . .

"Trump confirmed that ABC News agreed to the same rules as his CNN debate with Joe Biden: no hot mics, no seats, and no notes:

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.
