Kamala Dishes an Unbelievable Word Salad Festival With Oprah, but Reality Just Levels Her

 Nick Arama – RedState  

"Then there was this incredible "two minutes of nonsensical wisdom" that just makes you want to go, "Does anyone really fall for this?"

"On Thursday, Oprah Winfrey "interviewed" Kamala Harris in a livestream rally from Farmington Hills, Michigan. 

"I have "interviewed" in quotes because it wasn't an interview by a journalist. It was basically getting Oprah to help her deliver her campaign message. Except there was one big problem, as there always is when it comes to Kamala Harris. It was long on cringe and lies from Kamala, very light on answers and specifics. They even slipped in some celebrities to help hype Kamala, including Meryl Streep, Chris Rock, and Ben Stiller, who appeared on screen. It's like bringing in musicians to her rally to try to hype views/attendance. Streep referred to Kamala as "President Harris." Harris replied, "47 days." 

"It was all about the vibes and named "Unite for America" — despite the fact that Harris has spent most of her time in her campaign being divisive and lying about her opponent. It brought together White Dudes for Harris, Cat Ladies for Kamala, and Train Lovers for Harris, among other groups. 

"When Harris was asked about lowering the cost of living, her response was typical. It was an indecipherable word salad." . . .

. . ."Then, what's really funny: As she's trying to tack to the right with this take, Oprah gives her such a look like she can't believe it. "Probably should not have said that," Harris said, suddenly thinking the left might not like this, but, hey, the staff will try their best to clean it up." . . .

Can Harris' cynical, run-out-the clock campaign succeed?

With this nation's media I have to say yes. TD  "To make that distinction stark, Harris must demonize and bait Trump nonstop and make the country fear him." VDH

Victor Davis Hanson (jewishworldreview.com)  

"Cynically running out the clock has been the overarching principle of the entire abbreviated 105-day presidential campaign of Vice President Kamala Harris — ever since President Joe Biden, at the 11th-hour, dropped out in July.

"Harris seems unwilling or unable to answer any impromptu question that she has not been previously prepped for. Her answers at the debate were memorized and canned. They never addressed the questions asked.

"Her single, 11-minute post-debate Philadelphia interview was a shipwreck of dodging and dissimulating — even though the host was sympathetically left-wing.

"Even socialist Bernie Sanders pointed out that for Harris to get elected, she must temporarily disown her lifelong leftist credentials.

"As vice president, she must further deny co-ownership of the unpopular record of the Biden-Harris administration.

"Left unstated is that whether she wins the presidency — or loses it and continues as vice president for another three months — nonetheless she will inevitably revert back to her hard-core, lifelong leftist beliefs.

"In addition, Harris has reconstructed her privileged upbringing as a child of two PhDs, living in a posh Montreal neighborhood into a struggling, middle-class Oakland childhood.

"How can she stage such a complete makeover — and contemptuously count on the voting public to be so easily deceived? [Have you ever watched "The View"?]

"She avoids all news conferences, one-on-one nationally broadcast interviews, and town halls. And like Biden, she will debate only on leftist venues with impartial pro-Harris moderators.

"When asked to provide the details of her past responsibility for the open border, inflationary economy, spiraling crime, attacks on fossil fuels, and collapsing foreign policy, Harris smiles, makes hand gestures, and dodges. She changes the subject to her empathetic personality, her "joy" campaign, and her iconic profile as a supposedly dynamic black woman.

"When pressed, Harris outsources the task of squaring her hypocrisies and subterfuges to the stonewalling campaign, Democratic surrogates — and the media." . . .

Fox News Cuts Off Pundit for Outlining Opinion, “Democrat Party Wants Trump Dead”

  The Last Refuge (theconservativetreehouse.com)  "Former Navy SEAL Johnathan Gilliam appeared on FOX News to discuss the latest assassination attempts against the life of President Trump.

"After outlining the reality of President Trump’s perimeter proximity not being secured by Secret Service, Mr Gilliam expands the conversation to ask if this is continual mistakes or whether a systemic security issue exists.  Gilliam notes the rhetoric of the Democrat Party over the last several years that support the contention that “democrats want President Trump dead,” Fox News host Stuart Varney gets upset calling such a perspective “a conspiracy theory.”  Immediately thereafter the interview was ended.

The Last Refuge

"Here’s just a few examples of Democrats using increasingly incendiary rhetoric against President Trump in the days, weeks, and months leading up to the two assassination attempts:"

  • Kamala Harris — repeatedly: “Trump is a threat to our democracy and fundamental freedoms.” (But no problem with Gavin Newsom's rule in California?)
  • Kamala Harris: “It’s on us to recognize the threat [Trump] poses.”
  • Kamala Harris: “Does one of us have to come out alive? Ha ha ha ha!”
  • Joe Biden: “It’s time to put Trump in a bullseye.”

  • Joe Biden: “Trump and MAGA Republicans are a threat to the very soul of this country.”
  • Joe Biden: “Trump and the MAGA Republicans represent an extremism that threatens the very foundations of our republic … and that is a threat to this country.”
  • Tim Walz: “Are [Republicans] a threat to democracy? Yes. … Are they going to put peoples’ lives in danger? Yes.”
  • Gwen Walz: “Buh-bye, Donald Trump.”
  • Rep. Nancy Pelosi: “[Trump] is a threat to our democracy of the kind that we have not seen.”
  • Rep. Jasmine Crockett: “MAGA in general — they are threats to us domestically.”
  • Rep. Dan Goldman: “He is destructive to our democracy and …  he has to be eliminated.”
  • Disgraced Harris staffer TJ Ducklo: “Trump is an existential, urgent threat to our democracy.”
  • Top Harris surrogate Liz Cheney: “Trump presents a fundamental threat to the republic and we are seeing it on a daily basis.”
  • Rep. Steve Cohen: “Trump is an enemy of the United States.”
  • Rep. Maxine Waters: “Are [Trump supporters] preparing a civil war against us?”
  • Rep. Maxine Waters: “I want to know about all of those right-wing organizations that [Trump] is connected with who are training up in the hills somewhere.”
  • Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz: Trump is an “existential threat to our democracy.”
  • Rep. Adam Schiff: Trump is the “gravest threat to our democracy.”
  • Rep. Gregory Meeks: “Trump cannot be president again. He’s an existential threat to democracy.”
  • Rep. Dan Goldman: “Trump remains the greatest threat to our democracy.”
  • Rep. Jake Auchincloss: “What unifies us as a party is knowing that Donald Trump is an existential threat to Democracy.”
  • Rep. Abigail Spanberger: “Trump is a threat to our democracy … the threats to our democratic republic are real.”
  • Rep. Annie Kuster: “Trump and his extreme right-wing followers pose an existential threat to our democracy.”
  • Rep. Becca Balint: “We cannot underestimate the threat [Trump] poses to American democracy.”
  • Rep. Jason Crow: “Trump is an extreme danger to our democracy.”
  • Rep. Raul Grijalva: “Trump is an existential threat to American democracy.”
  • Sen. Michael Bennet: Trump is “a threat to our democracy.”
  • Rep. Stacey Plaskett: Trump “needs to be shot.”
  • Rep. Steven Horsford: “Trump Republicans are a dangerous threat to our state.”
  • Rep. Gabe Vasquez: “Remove the national threat from office.”
  • Rep. Mike Levin: “Donald Trump is a threat to our nation, our freedom, and our democracy.”
  • Rep. Eric Sorensen: “He is the greatest threat to law and order we have in our country.”
  • Rep. Greg Landsman: “The threat is not over.”
  • Rep. Pat Ryan: “Trump is an existential threat to American democracy.”
  • Rick Wilson, The Lincoln Project: “They’re still going to have to go out and put a bullet in Donald Trump.”
  • Former Harris-Biden staffer Kate Bedingfield: Democrats should “turn their fire on Donald Trump.”    No, no, no… Varney decries.  That’s “crazy conspiracy theory”…

Report: Hezbollah Hiding Heavy Death Toll From Exploding Devices, Leadership of Elite Radwan Terror Force Decimated

 Vijeta Uniyal (legalinsurrection.com)  "We still have many capabilities that we have not yet activated,” IDF Chief of Staff Halevi warns Hezbollah."


"While Lebanon reported only 32 deaths from two days of pager and walkie-talkie explosions, the Iran-backed Hezbollah terrorist group was hiding the actual death toll, media reports suggest.

"Consecutive waves of exploding devices have incurred heavy losses on Hezbollah’s leadership and terrorist fighting forces. The command structure of Hezbollah’s elite terrorist Radwan force has been ‘decimated’ by the well-coordinate strike, Israeli sources confirm.

"Officially, around 3,000 Hezbollah terrorists were wounded in Tuesday’s pager explosions. The walkie-talkie blasts on Wednesday reportedly injured 450 terror operatives. The actual figures are much higher, reports suggest.

“ 'According to Israeli reports, the pager attack alone would have caused “dozens of deaths, if not more” among Hezbollah members,” Israel’s i24NEWS TV reported. “Hezbollah’s elite Radwan force is reported to have suffered significant losses, losing “a large part of its command structure” that was either killed or maimed.”

"The coordinated strike on Hezbollah is perhaps the most precise counter-terrorist operation in military history. The Israeli government and armed forces did not comment on the incident.

"The Israeli news website YNET reported the actual damage caused by the apparent anti-terror strike:

According to the official updates from Lebanon, 12 people were killed when thousands of pagers exploded on Tuesday and 20 in the walkie-talkie blasts on Wednesday, but in Israel officials believe that the announced dead and injured from the pager explosions is significantly lower than reality. It is estimated that there are many dozens of dead, if not more.

Significant damage was inflicted on Hezbollah’s special operation forces unit Radwan force, which lost large parts of its command structure. At least 450 were injured in the explosion of the hand-held walkie-talkie radios throughout Lebanon, and these join the more than 3,000 Hezbollah operatives who were injured by the pager blasts. Hezbollah Secretary General Hassan Nasrallah is expected to give a speech on Thursday, in his first public remarks since the series of explosions in Lebanon.

"The Iran-backed terrorist group is in disarray following the strike. Twice bitten, the Hezbollah terrorists were now scared of touching electronic devices and electric switches, social media posts show."  It does play with their minds!

"Reports say that Hezbollah purchased all the communication devices from a European shell company owned by Israel 🇮🇱 That is, they also paid Israel for all the devices that exploded" Dr. Eli David

 What the Media Aren't Telling You About Israel’s Ingenious Strike Against Terrorist Pagers – PJ Media  

The significance of Israel’s anti-terrorism countermeasure isn’t just what it has already done, albeit that was impressive enough. Instead, its true significance is that it suggests what Israel might do next. 

A word of caution from a reader: Israel should never let the USA know what they did or are doing.  We have become collaborators of evil 

THE DEBATE ABOUT THE DEBATE

  Ann Coulter  

But they know that life was better under Trump. And they know that Harris, like Clinton, is a nasty woman. 

"Debate winner: CNN’s Candy Crowley. In 2012, she — the moderator — interjected herself into a Romney-Obama debate to fact-check Mitt Romney with a lie. But unlike ABC’s crack moderators on Tuesday night, at least she only did it once.

"I’m exhausted from fact-checking ABC’s fact-checkers, so I’m just going to tell you about a brilliant experiment that pretty clearly established who won the Trump-Clinton debates in 2016.

"The media say Trump whiffed Tuesday night, but that’s what we were told in 2016, too. It also could be that Kamala Harris came across as a smirker — MSNBC’s signature move — just like Hillary Clinton did. You’ve probably forgotten this — if you ever knew it — but notwithstanding Clinton’s allegedly devastating debate performances with Trump, she bombed. There’s scientific proof.

"Feminists were ecstatic when Trump called Clinton “a nasty woman” at one of the debates, rushing out with “nasty woman” T-shirts, pins, backpacks and other merchandise. With the feminists’ usual finger on the pulse of the nation, it never occurred to them that maybe she was nasty.

"Trump was responding to Clinton’s snotty aside — while describing her Social Security plans, of all things:

Clinton: “My Social Security payroll contribution will go up, as will Donald’s — assuming he can’t figure out how to get out of it — but what we want to do is –”

"Trump: “Such a nasty woman.”

"In order to test the feminist theory that Clinton, as a woman, was judged much more harshly than Trump, a couple of professors at New York University and INSEAD designed the perfect experiment. Two months after the election, they re-created the 2016 debates, but with a man playing Clinton and a woman playing Trump.

"Professional actors were hired to reenact segments from each of the three debates, using the candidates’ exact words, gestures, intonation and stances. During rehearsals, they even had a screen with the actual debate running behind them to ensure a precise replica of the candidates’ performances, with only the genders inverted. (For you confused Gen Z’ers, back then there were only two genders.)

"The professors and their (sold-out) audiences were stunned by the result. As NYU professor Joe Salvatore put it, instead of confirming their “liberal assumption” that “no one would have accepted Trump’s behavior from a woman, and that the male Clinton would seem like the much stronger candidate,” audience members found themselves hating the male Clinton and being impressed by the female Trump.

"This is how Salvatore described the reactions: . . ."  More here

How Pager Explosive Attack in Lebanon Happened?

  #israel #hezbollah (youtube.com)

"Hezbollah reportedly ordered around 5,000 pagers from Taiwan, a country known for producing about 90% of the world’s most advanced semiconductors. These pagers were destined for Lebanon. "However, what makes this story particularly intriguing is what allegedly happened during the shipment process. "At some point along the way, a spy agency is believed to have intercepted the shipment and tampered with the pagers. "They discreetly altered the internal components, replacing one of the two identical batteries with a hidden explosive device. "This modification was done so subtly that it went unnoticed. "Once the changes were made, the altered pagers were quietly sent back to Hezbollah as if nothing had happened."

‘Astonishing’: Douglas Murray calls out left-wing media’s Trump hypocrisy

 YouTube

"Author Douglas Murray has called out left-wing media outlets for telling Donald Trump to tone down his language after facing two assassination attempts. "Mr Murray encouraged the Democrats and the media to “tone down” their language about the former president being a threat to democracy. “ 'I would like to think that if there had been two attempts on the life of Kamala Harris in the last few weeks that you would not find what right-wing media there is in America saying, ‘Well, she brought it on herself’,” he told Sky News host Rita Panahi. “ 'I mean, that's a quite amazing thing with recent days in relation to Donald Trump, the left-wing media in America actually saying, ‘yeah, here's another assassination attempt on him, but maybe he shouldn't use such dirty words’. “ 'I find that astonishing.' ”

Tiny Israel flips the tables of warfare itself on the terrorists of Hezb'allah

 Monica Showalter - American Thinker  "Today's second wave of electronic bombings on Hezb'allah members in Lebanon, apparently by Israel, has got to have the Iran-backed terrorists freaking out.

"Yesterday, some 3,000 terrorists got their Hezb'allah-approved pagers detonated on them at once, killing a few and leaving a lot with blown off hands, eyes, or private parts.

"At least one of them got it on the toilet:

"Their communications networks were cut, and most likely, Israel had already tracked their entire network location from the rigged devices in the weeks previously.

"The Israelis know who they are. They know where they live. And they are coming for them -- even on the pot.

"They did it again today with a whole bunch of other Hezb'allah electronic devices.

September 18, 2024  "They got walkie talkies, solar panels, smartphones, intercoms, a slew of electronic devices. If I were a terrorist, I wouldn't go near a car, an oven, a garage door opener, a PC, a television set, a radio, anything. I'd head for the caves in the hills and try to live like bin Laden. If I were Nicolas Maduro, who turned over at least some of Venezuela's oil production to Hezb'allah, I wouldn't want to get anywhere near those oil installations.

"Call it hot pursuit.

"These pinpoint strikes targeting Hezb'allah members, but not the civilian population they swim in, represents a dramatic paradigm shift in the history of warfare.

"Because number one, it's amazing what they did. They did a conventional strike on a couple of Hezb'allah bigshots in Beirut a couple months ago, prompting Hezb'allah to change its communication system to low-tech pagers over cell phones. Someone figured out in Israel that they could intercept the supply chain of all these pagers before they were distributed, and with just a little effort, a few recruitings along the way,  . . ."Full article...

This Is Not The America We Were Promised

 Leftists Deserve the J6 Treatment - J.B. Shurk

"Where would he get that crazy idea?  Oh, I don’t know — maybe from the constant stream of contributors on networks such as MSNBC who call Trump a “dictator,” another “Hitler,” and a “Nazi.”
Would-be Trump Assassin Had Biden-Harris Bumper Sticker

 "Remember: illegally appointed special counsel Jack Smith is prosecuting President Trump in D.C. for exercising his constitutional right to free speech after the 2020 election.  Smith’s case essentially claims that Trump was not entitled to question the legitimacy of the mail-in ballot–tainted election and that his refusal to concede to Joe Biden directly led to the breach of the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021.  The fact that Biden and his attorney general, Merrick Garland, are using the imprimatur of the criminal justice system as a smokescreen to railroad and possibly imprison the leader of the opposition party is bad enough.  By treating President Trump’s speech as the “proximate cause” of other alleged crimes (consisting mostly of questionable trespass violations reimagined and inflated into felonies) committed by strangers, the Biden-Garland-Smith Triumvirate of Tyranny has turned every American’s opinion into a potential criminal act. 

"Should this bother all those rabid leftists who desperately want to see President Trump behind bars?  I would say so.  President Trump has now survived two assassination attempts, and although the FBI has done its best to muddy the waters concerning the motivations of the first gunman (trying to kill the Republican nominee for president seems like a pretty good clue, does it not?), the social media history of the second gunman (as well as the Biden-Harris bumper sticker on his truck) clearly exposes him as a Ukraine War–obsessed, anti-MAGA, Kamala Harris–supporting zealot who believes that President Trump is a civilizational threat." . . .  

Where have we heard the Charlottesville and J6 lies recently?  Kamala Harris repeated both during the presidential debate.  Surely, if President Trump is responsible for “inciting” a fake “insurrection,” Biden and Harris are responsible for inciting two very real assassination attempts.

This Is Not The America We Were Promised (townhall.com)   "The events of the last few years have confirmed that we are no longer a democracy in the sense that we once thought we were – and I know we’re a republic, but follow along with me. The premise of a democracy is that individual citizens can participate in the political process by making their positions known and voting for representatives who they understand will support their views. But those components are under attack here and throughout the West. They are under attack because our garbage elite considers our participation in our own governance to be both morally illegitimate and a practical nuisance. As a result, the elite is doing everything it can to prevent us from participating in our own governance. It’s intent to make us into serfs, disarmed, disenfranchised serfs who obey in silence." . . .

Note that this fake concern about fake rhetoric doesn’t apply to Donald Trump, who was shot in the head a couple of months ago because of being demonized for the last eight years by these very same jerks. Oh, and then another Harris-Walz voter tried to kill him last weekend. Do not think they do not intend this foreseeable consequence of their rhetoric.

Democratic operative announces party exit after volunteering at DNC : 'Impossible to unsee what I've seen'

 Yael Halon; Fox News  'Here's the sad truth: The Democratic Party has lost its way entirely,' former campaign operative wrote" 

"Barker said she was raised in a family of blue-collar union Democrats near Kansas City, a "long ways away from the glitz, glamor, and ostentatious wealth I'd become accustomed to seeing in and around Democratic politics."

 Former Obama-Biden fundraiser Allison Huynh joins 'Jesse Watters Primetime' to discuss her 'divorce' from the Democratic Party and why she is auctioning off her million-dollar Obama 'Hope' poster.

"A Democratic campaign operative revealed that she is exiting the party after volunteering at last month's Democratic National Convention, which left her "disenchanted" with Democratic leadership.

"In a Newsweek op-ed published Tuesday, Evan Barker described how she went from raising "tens of millions of dollars" for Democrats to distancing herself from a party she now believes is "totally out of touch" with everyday Americans.

"Barker said she was initially "thrilled" to volunteer at the DNC, where Vice President Kamala Harris accepted the nomination for president.

" 'But once there, wandering amidst the glitz and glam, imbibing the gloss and schmaltz of it all, I couldn't escape a sinking feeling. I felt submersed in a hollow chamber whose mottos were ‘Brat summer’ and ‘Joy’—totally out of touch with regular, every-day Americans and their pressing needs; instead, the most elite people in the world chanted in unison that "We're not going back," Barker wrote." . . .

. . ."Fast forward to today, and many of those same family members are no longer Democrats. They feel the party has changed, left them behind," she wrote. "At the DNC, I couldn't help but think about my family. Every time the elites chanted 'We're not going back,' what I heard was, 'We're not going back to the party your union family members used to vote for.'" . . .
