Kamala’s Stolen Working-Class Valor; What Say You, Ladies Of "The View"?

  Issues & Insights (issuesinsights.com) 

So, we are left with a question: If Kamala Harris and Tim Walz are so willing to lie about their past to win votes, why should anyone believe anything else that comes out of their mouths? 

The Cagle Post

 "Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz has been found guilty of puffing up his military record to look more manly – also known as stolen valor. Now it looks as though Kamala Harris has committed her own version of stolen valor by claiming a working-class medal that she may never have earned.

"Harris and her campaign have been bragging about her modest roots and her supposed connection to working-class folks, exemplified by her having toiled at McDonald’s while in college, a claim she repeatedly makes in her speeches and that came up countless times at the Democratic National Convention.

"But, like so many things about Harris and Walz, this story started to fall apart on closer inspection.

"Earlier in the month, Harris’ campaign said that “Vice President Harris is the daughter of a working mother and worked at a McDonald’s to put herself through college.” An ad produced by a pro-Harris PAC said she’d “worked her way through school at McDonald’s.”  

"That’s fishy enough. Even if Harris worked full-time all summer every summer at McDonald’s, she’d have earned only a fraction of Howard University’s tuition and fees. (The line about Harris’ “working mother” is also a stretch. Her mom was an eminent cancer researcher, and her dad was a tenured Stanford economist.)

"In any event, Harris couldn’t keep up this particular fabrication, and later in August at a campaign event said only that she’d “worked at McDonald’s to earn spending money.” Still later in the month, the New York Times said she’d worked at a McDonald’s in Alameda, California, “for a summer” while going to college in Washington, D.C.

" 'Suddenly, Kamala’s working-class roots don’t look so working-class anymore." . . .

"But it’s worse than that. It’s doubtful that Harris ever worked at McDonald’s at all.

"When the leftist “fact-checking” site Snopes looked into it, it couldn’t find a shred of evidence to support her boast." . . .

Woke Ideology and the Bizarre Tale of a Venezuelan Gang's Takeover of American Cities

  The Gateway Pundit | by Antonio Graceffo 

. . ."Aurora Mayor Mike Coffman also blames federal policies at the southern border for the mess his police force now faces in combating Tren de Aragua. Senator Marco Rubio agrees, stating that the blame lies with the Biden administration. . ." 

Joe Biden and his Democrats rule the border.

"Open borders, woke ideology, hate speech regulations, and other liberal constructs are weakening U.S. national security. Illegal immigrants are no longer called illegal, and even a violent gang, recognized by the U.S. government as a national security threat, is being handled with kid gloves to avoid offending law-abiding illegal immigrants from Venezuela and their supporters.

"Back in June, I reported on Tren de Aragua, a violent transnational Venezuelan gang that entered the USA through the southern border and is now operating in states across the country. The existence and threat of this group, as well as its growth in America, are well-documented in government reports. The National Security Council has issued a statement on this new threat to national security, the Treasury Department has recognized them as a transnational crime organization, and the U.S. Department of State is offering a $12 million bounty for information leading to the arrest of several of its leaders.

"Clearly, the group exists and poses a major threat to the nation. However, in recent days, a series of stories have appeared in second-tier, regional, and right-leaning media outlets, claiming that Tren de Aragua is taking over several towns in Colorado, specifically Aurora and Denver. These reports state that the mayors have asked the governor for help, but the governor said the gang takeover was simply a figment of their “imagination.” Simultaneously, other media outlets are claiming that the story of a gang takeover is false. For the most part, the largest mainstream, national media are not covering the story.

"According to the New York Post, the gang has taken over numerous apartment buildings, and viral videos circulating on social media apparently support these claims. These videos are also being aired by local affiliates of larger news organizations, such as KDVR in Denver, NBC Montana, and CBN News. The Denver Post, however, claims that landlords are inventing this story to distract from their own shoddy maintenance of the buildings, which seems extremely unlikely. This landlord narrative would be a first in the documented history of gang violence. The story reported by Fox seems more plausible—that the landlords were unable to perform maintenance because the gang had taken over the properties.

Tim Walz’s brother supports Trump and fears power in Tim’s hands

  Andrea Widburg - American Thinker 

  No matter how you feel about her, Laura Loomer is willing to dig, and her most recent digging discovered that Tim Walz’s brother, Jeff, dislikes his brother both personally and politically. It began when Loomer discovered that Jeff donated to Trump’s campaign in 2016:lic figure thanks to Loomer’s reporting, you may as well get on stage and tell your story.

 EXCLUSIVE UPDATE:

🚨 Tim Walz’s brother Jeff responds to my report by condemning all of Walz’s ideology and saying he’s thinking about getting on stage at a Trump rally to tell stories about his brother Tim Walz and his poor character🚨

. . . "When I shared this news with Monica Showalter, she had an interesting response:

. . ."My advice to Jeff Walz: Now that you’re a public figure thanks to Loomer’s reporting, you may as well get on stage and tell your story.

What is it with Democrats who have so many family members who can't stand them? Obama’s brother thought he was a fraud, Kamala’s dad can’t stand her, Meghan Markle is estranged from her family, and now Walz has a brother who says he’s a problem. The press focuses on a distant relative who dislikes Trump, but for Democrats, it’s often close relatives who know them well.

"My suspicion is that these high-achieving Democrats all have some variant of narcissistic personality disorder. For whatever reason, they feel empty inside, so they construct an artificial persona around that emptiness. These people are often highly successful because the only thing that feeds that persona is external signs of success: power, money, and adulation.

"These people are also sheer hell in personal relationships. While they’re very good at reading and manipulating other people’s emotions, they lack empathy. For them, emotions are tools rather than how humans connect.

"Narcissists are also strikingly dishonest—or at least normal people see them as dishonest. In the narcissists’ minds, the “truth” is not something fixed. It’s simply whatever will benefit them at the moment. That’s why they pass lie detector tests. In practical terms, this means Kamala lying about working at McDonald’s and constantly shifting her stated political values (all while advancing leftist policies), and Tim Walz lying about everything.

"Maybe Jeff Walz is the jerk, and Tim is the suffering soul in the relationship. But knowing what we do about Tim—liar, despot, and leftist—my money is on Jeff as the normal one who speaks the truth."

MSNBC's Attempt to Engender Sympathy for Kamala Harris on the Basis of Race Backfires When Mixed-Race Voter Delivers Brutal Response

"Liberal MSNBC’s attempt to engender sympathy for Kamala Harris based on skin color backfired spectacularly this morning after a brutal response from a mixed-race voter.

"The network gathered a panel of mixed-race voters to discuss their thoughts on the Presidential race. During the segment, the ‘journalist’ asked the voters whether they felt a “kinship” with Harris because she is multiracial (Harris is part Black and part Asian) like them.

"But she got more than she bargained for when one of the voters said no and went on to rip Harris’ poor leadership qualities, particularly when the world was blowing up.

"She then twisted the knife by blasting Harris for her tendency to laugh at inappropriate times. As The Gateway Pundit readers know, Harris has a horrendous habit of cackling when nervous or unsure of herself." . . .  (Emphasis in the original)

Fast Food Chain Closing Six Locations in California Due to New Minimum Wage Law

  TFPP Wire

The real question is: will this trend of closures continue, or will businesses find a way to adapt to government mandated higher costs? 

 Big Lots will lose many locations too

"Shake Shack is shutting down nine locations across the U.S., with six of those closures happening in California.

"The burger chain announced this move in a recent SEC filing, stating these spots weren’t expected to turn a profit anytime soon.

"This decision comes as California’s fast-food scene faces big changes.

"The state recently bumped up the minimum wage for fast-food workers to $20 an hour.

"While Shake Shack didn’t directly point to this wage hike as the reason for the closures, it’s worth noting that other chains like Rubio’s and Blaze Pizza have also closed up shop in the Golden State lately.

"Running a fast-food joint in California isn’t easy. Rent has always been high, and now labor costs are through the roof. It’s a tough mix that’s putting the squeeze on many businesses.

"But not everyone sees doom and gloom." . . .

Democrats Rule: California City Is a 'Train Wreck': Drug Addicts Wreak Havoc, Fueling Violent Crime

You want Kamala Harris and the Democrats she would select to run this nation?

 TFPP Wire    "San Francisco, once a shining beacon of innovation and culture on the West Coast, has become the epitome of what happens when liberal policies run amok.

"The city’s struggles with rampant drug use, homelessness, and crime have reached a boiling point, leaving residents and businesses alike wondering how things got so bad.

"At the heart of San Francisco’s troubles lies a decade of misguided leadership. Brian Claypool, a criminal defense attorney and owner of the Claypool Law Firm, doesn’t mince words when describing the situation.

“ 'San Francisco is a train wreck because of a combination of a couple of things; the left wing, radical Democratic leadership over the past 10 years,” he told Fox News Digital. “You have mayors who are very liberal, prosecutors who don’t prosecute offenders and the no-bail system.”

"The turning point for San Francisco came in 2014 with the passage of Proposition 47. This ill-conceived legislation reclassified several felonies as misdemeanors, including shoplifting under $950 and drug possession. The effects were immediate and devastating.

“ 'Proposition 47 was a major contributor to crime, not only in San Francisco, but across the state,” Claypool explained. “Because you had previously convicted felons who were not deemed dangerous. For example, fentanyl would have been classified as a dangerous drug before Prop 47 was passed, but Prop 47 forced the criminal court system to reclassify these drug addicts as a misdemeanor offense.”

"The result? More addicts on the streets, fueling a vicious cycle of homelessness and crime. With little fear of consequences, the homeless population has become increasingly brazen in committing robberies and violent acts." . . .

Trump says ‘CNN should be ashamed of themselves’ for Harris interview: ‘It’s much easier to be a Democrat’ (bizpacreview.com)

“And if you’re too weak to do a one-on-one interview with a person that was so soft. You know, I know Dana. She’s always, you know, always nasty,” said Trump who’d previously remarked on the “fair” treatment he’d received during the June debate with President Joe Biden.”She was so nice to the Democrats. It’s much easier to be a Democrat, but we don’t agree on their policies because their policies will destroy our nation. So we can’t do that. We can’t do that. But, it was a very weak interview from the standpoint of CNN. I think CNN should be ashamed of themselves.”

Rescued hostage reveals cruel final days of fellow captive; Arie Zalmanovicz, 86, was denied proper medical care.

"Rescued hostage Qaid Farhan Alkadi on Thursday shed light on his time in Hamas captivity and the tragic death of another captive, Arie Zalmanovicz, 86, from Kibbutz Nir Oz.

"According to Alkadi, Zalmanovicz, whose death in captivity was confirmed in December by Israeli authorities, was alongside him until his last moments and may have died because Hamas terrorists denied him proper care.

"On Wednesday, it was reported that Alkadi, following his rescue, recounted seeing a deceased hostage beside him during their captivity. Zalmanovicz, a founding member of Nir Oz, was the oldest hostage held by Hamas. He leaves behind two sons and five grandchildren.

"Nir Oz issued a statement following the news, blaming the Hamas captors of deliberately denying Zalmanovicz essential medicine.

"“About two weeks ago, a chilling video was released documenting the moments of our friend Arie Zalmanovicz’s abduction from his home. Today, we learned of Farhan Alkadi’s testimony, who was rescued from captivity. He reported seeing Arie dying beside him after being denied necessary medication and medical treatment. This account completes the painful picture for us, revealing the hellish moments Arie endured from his abduction to his tragic end. It serves as a disturbing firsthand testimony of what the remaining hostages in Gaza are experiencing.”. . .

“Dad was old and sick, though still independent. But he was murdered in that way… by torment of the body and mind,” Boaz said. “That was what had most troubled us from the moment we were told Dad was dead, and the short description I got from Farhan only underlined this.” . . .

“What most alarms me isn’t how the Democratic Party conducts its internal affairs, or runs it candidates." Why RFK left the Democrats

 What the Kennedys want - William Lippincott 

"To RFK Jr., I don’t know what to say.  I would ask where he thinks the despotic behavior of the DNC comes from." . . . 

Tom Stiglich

"RFK Jr. made big news last week when he suspended his presidential campaign and endorsed Donald Trump.  There is a meaningful backdrop to this epiphany, as the DNC has been creative and highly driven to block RFK Jr.’s quest for the presidency.

Is this messy sideshow indicative of what Dems mean by “our Democracy”?  How about Kamala Harris’s smoke-filled-room appointment as Democrat nominee for president after Joe Biden’s wheelchair was pushed over the edge?  Never mind.

The juiciest substory is the Kennedy family’s expression of disappointment.

“We want an America filled with hope and bound together by a shared vision of a brighter future, a future defined by individual freedom, economic promise and national pride,” a statement signed by five of the former third-party presidential candidate’s siblings said.

"The family added, “We believe in Harris and Walz.”

"All right — just another political squabble over a family gathering.  But wait a minute: how well do the Kennedy aspirations line up with the Democrat campaign?  Let’s parse the letter and find out." . . .

RFK, Jr. Denounces Totalitarianism That Drove Him Out Of Democratic Party (legalinsurrection.com)

. . .“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.” . . .

Kamala Harris Gives Disqualifying Answer When Asked About Defense of 'Biden's Capacity to Serve'

Sister Toldjah  "Of all the questions Vice President Kamala Harris could have been asked during her CNN interview, the one I wanted to hear the answer to the most - and the one I figured wouldn't get asked - was on the subject of her staunch defense of President Joe Biden after his disastrous June debate performance." . . .

. . ."Throughout all the calls in July from Democrats for Biden to withdraw from the race, including the infamous moment where former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi refused to say she supported Biden staying in it, Harris never wavered publicly on her support of Biden while out on the campaign trail, often minimizing his debate performance as just one bad night that was best overlooked because Orange Man Bad.

"On Thursday, she had a chance to pivot, to maybe be more upfront and honest about her defenses of Biden since the debate performance that was the catalyst for shaming him into withdrawing.

"She didn't and she wasn't. Instead, the Democratic presidential nominee who watched the same debate performance we did, who had stood by Biden's side for three and a half years and was no doubt witness to a lot more troubling moments than we were when we saw him out in public, said she had no regrets whatsoever. 

🚨 Kamala says she has NO REGRETS about covering up Crooked Joe Biden's obvious cognitive decline — and LYING to the American people pic.twitter.com/FMkLhhSqWw

. . .  "There are a lot of reasons why Kamala Harris does not deserve to be president, but perhaps the most important one is her unwillingness to level with the American people about Joe Biden's health. She could have done it in a way that showed respect to her boss but that still got the point across and didn't make her look like a complete shill and tool.

"But she didn't. And my guess is that because in doing so she would have exposed her own complicity in the sham and troublesome cover-up. 

"Kamala Harris will always put personal ambition and politics ahead of country. If the American people didn't learn anything else about her from the CNN interview, let's hope they learned that much."
