Sizing up Kamala

Biden-Harris border official claims cover-up as he was allegedly ordered to hide release of migrants (NY Post)   "The former Border Patrol official responsible for securing nearly 1,000 miles of America’s frontier has charged that the Biden-Harris administration intentionally covered up the ongoing migrant crisis.

"Ex-San Diego Sector Chief Agent Aaron Heitke told members of the House Homeland Security Committee on Wednesday that the White House repeatedly tried to “quiet the border-wide crisis” by shielding information from the press and concealing crossings by dangerous migrants with terror ties.

“ 'I had to release illegal aliens by the hundreds each day into communities who could not support them,” testified Heitke, who retired in summer 2023 and appeared voluntarily before the panel." . . . 

In other portions of his testimony, Heitke said administration officials asked that he move more than
 2,000 migrants caught in between the US-Mexico border fences “out of the sight of the media.”

Kamala Harris Tells Oprah She Would Shoot Anyone Trying to Break into Her Home, Sparking Conservative Outrage

Kamala Harris tells Oprah that she would shoot someone who broke into her home, then realizes she shouldn’t have said that… and says her staff will have to deal with it later.
This, in between laughing uncontrollably.

 “Probably should not have said that,” Harris said as laughter filled the room. “But my staff will deal with that later.” 

"Harris’ comment comes as she has been heavily ridiculed for her radical stance on guns." .... "At last week’s debate, Harris announced that she and her running mate Democratic Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz owned guns and insisted that they were not trying to take “anybody’s guns away,” Fox News reported.

"Yesterday, Resist the Mainstream reported that a video had resurfaced showing then DA Harris telling citizens of San Francisco that law enforcement would invade the locked homes of gun owners to make sure they were “being responsible.”...

Dana Bash ROASTS Kamala Harris: Even CNN Calls Out Her Babbling "CNN anchor Dana Bash laid into Vice President Kamala Harris, saying that some of the Democratic presidential candidate’s talking points were repetitive enough to inspire a “drinking game.” She's so bad that she's losing the journalist who treated her with kid gloves." 

Rigged Debate: Harris Had Much More Help Than Viewers Noticed That Night

 American Free News Network (substack.com)   "Anyone who watched even the first thirty minutes of the September 10th “debate” between Donald J. Trump and Kamala Harris could tell the “moderators” were bending over backwards to help Harris."

"The entire affidavit can be accessed in the link below. Here, I will provide you with the key provisions in this unethical agreement, without which Harris threatened she would cancel the debate:

1. They agreed that Trump, and only Trump, would be fact-checked LIVE, during the debate. I can only assume ABC had hundreds of fact-checkers in the back room because Muir & Davis received the texts from them within seconds of Trump saying something.
2. “The Harris campaign was provided with sample questions that, while not the exact questions, covered similar topics that would appear during the debate.”
3. This special agreement was hidden from the Trump campaign.
4. “The Harris campaign-imposed restrictions” included:

A) No questions about Joe Biden’s health;

B) No questions about her tenure as “Attorney General in San Francisco” (I think the affidavit writer is confusing her years as California AG in Sacramento and her earlier years as San Francisco DA); and

C) No questions about her brother-in-law, Tony West, who is facing charges of embezzling billions in taxpayer funds and who may be in her administration if Democrats can successfully rig another presidential election." . . .

Why Do Media Think Democrats Are Worth Cheating For?

  Issues & Insights (issuesinsights.com)

There are no ideologues in the West like those who pose as objective reporters and editors. At times some have internal struggles with the real journalist within. But the propagandist always wins. 

"It would be helpful to voters to know that a “whistleblower” says ABC rigged last week’s debate between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump. But outside of conservative media, it’s being largely ignored, because the legacy press covers its own and as zealously as it does the Democratic Party. Whether the claims are true or not – the existence of the whistleblower remains unconfirmed – the mainstream media’s loyalty to Democrats is uncomfortably similar to the relationship Pravda had with the Central Committee of the Soviet Union’s Communist Party.

"To quickly recap, the unnamed whistleblower said ABC agreed to fact-check Trump while ensuring “Harris would not face comparable scrutiny.” The plan was so detailed that “various people were assigned to fact check observations it was perceived candidate Trump would make during the debate.”

“In fact,” says the whistleblower, the “Harris campaign required assurances that Donald Trump would be fact-checked.”

These agreements were reached on calls that the Trump campaign was not a part of although all discussions regarding the rules and negotiations were supposed to include both sides.

The affidavit also says Harris was provided with sample questions that, while not the exact questions that would be asked, nevertheless “covered similar topics that would appear during the debate.”

There were also issues that could not be raised – Joe Biden’s health; Harris’ performance as San Francisco’s district attorney; her brother-in-law and “key campaign adviser” Tony West, who allegedly “fleeced taxpayers for billions to give to left-wing groups and lawyers” – since they would reflect poorly on Harris.

“I have observed a pronounced bias against Donald Trump within ABC News,” the affiant continues, while also noting “many” ABC employees “questioned the clear bias that is well known throughout the company.”

Guess Who Could Be Coming Back If Kamala Wins?

 Katie Pavlich (townhall.com)   "We're just 47 days away from Election Day and talk about who would fill the Cabinet for either President Donald Trump or President Kamala Harris is heating up. 

"During an interview this week, former Secretary of State and twice failed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton hinted at a comeback should Harris win. She's making herself readily available in an "unofficial" capacity during the final weeks of the election." 

🚨Yikes. A vote for Kamala Harris is a vote to make Hillary Clinton the Defense Secretary or Secretary of State:

Joe Biden, 20 Years Ago, Blocked the Potential First Black Female on the Supreme Court

 Larry Elder (townhall.com)  

"Were it not for Biden, who now considers the filibuster "a relic of the Jim Crow era," [Sunny] Hostin could have been "crying with pride" 20 years ago."

File photo

. . ."California Supreme Court Justice Janice Rogers Brown did not set out to become the first black female nominated to the United States Supreme Court. But had it not been for then-Sen. Joe Biden standing in her way 20 years ago, Brown might well have been on the road to "breaking this ceiling."

"Brown, the daughter and granddaughter of sharecroppers, was born in Alabama during Jim Crow. As a single mom, she worked her way through college and law school, graduating from UCLA law school in 1977. Over the next 20 years, she worked in the criminal and civil divisions as California deputy attorney general; became the general counsel for the California Business, Transportation and Housing Agency; served as a law professor; and practiced law in private practice.

"In 1994, California Republican Gov. Pete Wilson appointed her to the California Court of Appeals and two years later to the California Supreme Court. In California, appointees to its Supreme Court must run for reelection. Despite being appointed by a Republican and her reputation as a conservative jurist, she retained her position with 76% of the vote, a higher percentage than any of the other appointees who ran that year. Brown wrote more majority opinions than any other justice of that court.

"In 2003, President George W. Bush nominated her to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, from which more justices go on the Supreme Court than any other circuit. Even though Brown had majority support in the Senate, Sen. Biden filibustered her nomination. According to columnist Robert Novak, Biden's obstruction represented "the first full-scale effort in American history to prevent a president from picking the federal judges he wants.' " 

"Bush renominated her and she was finally confirmed, with Biden again opposing her confirmation. Months later, Justice Sandra Day O'Connor retired, and Brown was reportedly on the short list to replace her. But Biden appeared on CBS' "Face the Nation" and threatened to again filibuster a Brown nomination. Bush backed down."  (Emphasis mine. TD)

California’s Crackdown On AI-Generated Political Parody Is Unconstitutional, Lawsuit Says

 Jane Coleman (legalinsurrection.com)  

"Lawyers: “Mr. Reagan’s satire videos, which have garnered millions of views, are precisely the kind of speech that the First Amendment was designed to protect.' ”

"A creator of viral political parody videos is suing California officials over new laws restricting AI-generated content like his from being posted and shared online.

"The legislation took on political urgency over the summer after Governor Gavin Newsom called one of the videos “illegal.”

"In July, the YouTuber known as “Mr. Reagan” released a parody Kamala Harris campaign ad, featuring AI-generated cuts that sound just like her. But you know you’re watching a spoof when “Harris” says things like, “I may not know the first thing about running the country, but remember, that’s a good thing if you’re a deep state puppet.” Or that she’s been selected because she’s “the ultimate diversity hire and a person of color, so if you criticize anything [she] say[s], you’re both sexist and racist.”

"The video caught the attention of someone who knows creative genius when he sees it, Elon Musk.

"He called it “amazing”:   

This is amazing 😂

"Once Musk retweeted it, the brilliant satire also caught the attention of California Governor Gavin Newsom.

"And, according to the lawsuit, even though “Mr. Reagan’s” YouTube video acknowledges its content is “digitally generated” and even though it is labeled “parody,” Newsom was not amused.

"The video was too “real”: “Manipulating a voice in an ‘ad’ like this one should be illegal,” Newsom warned in a tweet two days later. “I’ll be signing a bill in a matter of weeks to make sure it is”: . . ."

Did Elite Colleges Lie to the Supreme Court or Are They Breaking the Law Today?

 Even After Court Ruling, Colleges Face Questions on Admissions (Hans von Spakovsky) 

"As it turns out, the schools have had no trouble attaining what they call “diverse” student bodies; that is, a student body where fewer Asian American students get in than deserve to." We have become a silly people indeed. TD

"When the U.S. Supreme Court issued its monumental decision in 2023 telling colleges and universities that “yes,” they did have to comply with the equal protection clause of the 14th Amendment in their admissions policies, the question immediately arose of whether they would comply or cheat.

"With the latest admission numbers from schools such as Duke, Princeton, and Yale, however, we still don’t know the answer.

"In June of 2023, in Students for Fair Admissions v. Harvard and the University of North Carolina, the Supreme Court held that the academy had to end its pernicious policy of discriminating on the basis of race in deciding whether to admit students. The colleges argued they need to discriminate to achieve “diversity,” a practice based, as Chief Justice John Roberts said, on the “offensive and demeaning assumption that [students] of a particular race, because of their race, think alike.' ”  . . .

Is there no knowledge of our history of treating Asians during WW2? Maybe there once was a statue commemorating all that which was torn down by those low-information youths. I can visualize that. TD

Kamala Harris Has a Plan – To Take, Take, Take

 John Green - American Free News Network

"The fact is, the wealthy don’t have enough loot to pick up Kamala’s tab. If she want’s to cover her “investment” with taxes, she’ll have to take it from all of us."

"I watched the debate and … oh boy. Pay no attention to whether:

• Donald Trump lost his cool – he did,
• Kamala Harris sounded annoying – she did, or
• The moderators shamelessly took sides – did they ever.

"None of that matters because the clouds parted, the sun broke through, and Kamala informed us that for the first time in her campaign, she has a plan. Her campaign isn’t just about saving democracy anymore. She’s going to save the economy too – by creating an “opportunity economy.” Apparently “opportunity” came in 2nd to “joy” in the focus group testing.

"She even told us how she’s going to create that “opportunity economy.” She’s going to give away stuff. Who would have thought a Democrat had such a capacity for out-of-the-box creativity.

• "She’s going to give new parents $6,000 so they can afford a new baby crib – which given the current rate of inflation sounds about right.
• "She’s going to give new homeowners $25,000 to offset the skyrocketing mortgage rates she created – for a couple of years anyway.
• "She’s going to give new business startups $50,000 to replace some of the mom-and-pop venture capital lost when she and Joe shuttered their businesses for a virus.

"That’s it. That’s her plan: spend, spend, spend – sorry, give, give, give.

"There’s just one teeny-tiny little thing that Kamala didn’t get to with all of her planning – the other side of the equation. Money out must equal money in. She didn’t explain where she’s going to get the money for all of her generous giving.

"Had the moderators thought to ask how she’s going to pay for it, I’m sure Kamala would have screeched “It’s an investment!” When Kamala says government spending is an investment, she’s claiming it will pay for itself by stimulating the economy, and creating more taxpayers – like baby crib manufacturers. She claims that government “investment” raises revenue just like the Inflation Reduction Act did. Oops … I wonder if the moderators would have fact checked that?" . . .

Irony! Israel struck Hezb’allah in their instruments of rape.

The karma in Lebanon is too strong! -Lynne Lechter   

Yet one couldn’t help but chortle at the karma of the latest Israeli attacks: after eleven months of the worst attack against Jews since the Holocaust, Israel struck back in an extremely fitting manner.  They struck Hezb’allah in their instruments of rape.  And they used the least high-tech gadget liable to execute the attacks: the pager.

Tiny Israel flips the tables of warfare itself on the terrorists of Hezb'allah - Monica Showalter   . . ."And that calls to mind what Israel is: The tech genius of the Middle East, the nation that gave us drip irrigation, computer processor chips, metal detectors, heart rate monitors from hospital beds, devices that can extract air for divers underwater, safe drinking water detectors, cell phones, safe-navigation technology for cars on the road, precision robots for spinal surgery, oh, and pagers, too. This list here is mind-blowing, I've heard Google guys call them the brains of their company.

"With that going on, while Hezb'allah and other miserable creatures of the Middle East stewing in Jew-hatred and fist-waving instead of trying to match them in intellectual creativity, innovation, and tech prowess, this Israeli advantage of being on the developer side is finally being put to work for Israel." . . .

Heaven help Israel if they ever elect leaders like Biden,Pelosi, and Harris. Their very existence can be threatened when America puts Democrats over her government. TD

Billionaire Hedge Fund Manager Reveals His Plan If Harris Versus Trump Wins the Election

 Elizabeth Allen​ - TFPP Wire  

 "John Paulson, a hedge fund billionaire and prominent Trump supporter, announced that he would withdraw his investments from the market if Vice President Kamala Harris wins the upcoming presidential election. During an interview on FOX Business, Paulson expressed concerns over Harris’ economic policies, which he believes could lead to widespread market instability.

"He emphasized that her proposed tax increases would lead to significant sell-offs and potentially trigger a recession. Paulson stated, “I’d be very concerned if Harris is elected and pursues the tax plans and other economic plans that she articulated.”

Key Facts:

• John Paulson, a major Trump fundraiser, stated he would pull his money out of the market if Kamala Harris wins the presidential election.
• Harris has proposed raising the corporate tax rate from 21% to 28% and increasing capital gains taxes.
• Paulson is particularly concerned about Harris’ plan to tax unrealized gains for individuals making $100 million or more, predicting this would lead to mass sell-offs.
• Paulson highlighted that Trump’s economic plans, including extending the 2017 tax cuts, are vastly different from Harris’ policies.
• He suggested that market uncertainty under Harris would cause him to invest in cash and gold instead.

The Rest of The Story:

"John Paulson, known for his massive profit from predicting the subprime mortgage crisis, voiced strong concerns over the potential impact of a Kamala Harris presidency on the U.S. economy. Appearing on FOX Business’ “The Claman Countdown,” Paulson outlined his fears that Harris’ proposed tax policies, particularly those targeting high earners, would cause instability in financial markets. He pointed to Harris’ plan to raise the corporate tax rate to 28% and her push for higher capital gains taxes as signals of what he sees as an economically damaging agenda.

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." . . .
