Deranged College Professor Says Any Man Who Doesn't Vote For Kamala Should Be Lined Up and Shot That all appears to be Biden's goal with his speeches in Philadelphia, the SOTU, and the DNC speech, wouldn't you say? TD
When Whitaker asked Harris why she completely flipped her positions on the border, fracking, and Medicare for All, Harris responded that she has spent the past four years going across the country and talking to people from various backgrounds, so she came to value compromise. Short, truer version: “We’re not just in California anymore.”
" Asking Kamala Harris about the historic surge at the southern border during most of President Joe Biden’s tenure, 60 Minutes anchor Bill Whitaker wondered if it was “a mistake to loosen the immigration policies as you did.”
"Harris has this way of talking when she knows she can’t say what she really thinks. So when Whitaker remarked that border arrivals quadrupled during the first three years of the Biden–Harris administration, she responded, “Solutions are at hand. From day one literally we have been offering solutions.”
"And: “The policies that we have been proposing are about fixing a problem, not promoting a problem.” Short word salads with no nutritional value.
"If you were hoping for the vice president to admit that Biden’s border policies were a colossal blunder during the CBS interview, which was televised Monday night, well, your best move would have been to change the channel.
"When Harris tried to blame Republicans for failing to pass a big immigration package, Whitaker pointed out that Biden invited a “historic flood” of migrants when he took office.
"For once, a major journalist pushed back on Harris’ lame finger-pointing. I exhaled.
"60 Minutes made a big deal about Trump turning down its interview request. Be it noted, Harris turned down an invitation to a Fox News sit-down. But I guess that’s different.
"My one big beef: There is no question Harris knew about Biden’s declining cognitive abilities before he halted his reelection campaign. It becomes ever more important that Harris is asked about this because Biden is supposed to occupy the Oval Office until Jan. 20.
"At one point, Harris reminded Whitaker: “This is an election for president of the United States.” Then she added, “No one should be able to take for granted that they can just declare themselves a candidate and automatically receive support.”
"It was an odd statement coming from a Democrat who was handed the top of her party’s ticket without a single ballot cast." . . .

"That is like pro-al-Qaeda protesters choosing Sep. 11 to mourn people killed in Afghanistan. It’s horrid, disgusting, and insultingly insensitive.

Evil Exists, Don’t Look Away: Visiting the Hell of October 7th | Caroline Glick In-Focus "Join JNS senior contributing editor Caroline Glick for this special Oct. 7 episode of In-Focus from one of the communities most affected by the Hamas massacre, Kfar Aza. Glick reflects and discusses some of the lessons Israel, the Jewish people, and the entire free world must learn from that horrific day and this once-flourishing town."
"For example, if you have insurance that covers your temporary housing costs, but you ask FEMA to advance you some money to help you pay for those costs while your insurance is delayed, you will need to pay that money back to FEMA after you receive your insurance settlement." From the FEMA webpage:
Olivia Murray "When enough of the public harbors such deep distrust for our federal government that our federal agencies feel compelled to establish official “rumor response” websites to try to convince the people that they’re not corrupt and incompetent, I’d say it’s game over, and there’s no road to redemption. You’ve blown it. Obliterated everything. Nuked your last shred of credibility.
"In light of mounting accusations against FEMA as bumbling the response to Hurricane Helene beyond all comprehension, the disaster relief agency took it upon itself to create a fact-checking website, to battle the “rumor” mill—despite what those conspiracy theorist MAGA haters are saying, FEMA takes its mission seriously, and is adeptly handling the emergency response!
"Is this like the time the CIA investigated itself and found no evidence it was involved in the drug-trafficking trade?
Because it really seems like it.
“ 'FEMA finds no link between itself and the failure of the federal government to provide disaster relief to American communities decimated by Hurricane Helene” or “FEMA concludes that it’s doing a great job and not culpable for the pathetic emergency response” would be apropos.
"I mean, the agency established an online portal for impacted Americans to quickly apply for disaster assistance (in a community that doesn’t have power), it handed out preloaded debit cards (in a place where all the ATMs and stores have been washed away by the flood waters), and it dropped off electrical chainsaws so people could start to clear downed trees (with no way to recharge the tools when the battery dies)." . . .

"When you are on Colbert, you aren't supposed to stare at the audience and lecture them. Harris can't help herself, though. She is so over-rehearsed and inauthentic, and it comes out in every answer she gives."
"When Kamala Harris first announced her presidential run after shivving Joe Biden in the back, her campaign wrapped her in bubble wrap and stuck her behind a teleprompter. That hasn't led to her running away with the race as expected, which means something had to change. What's changed is the Harris campaign unleashing the vice president in a variety of "un-scripted" interviews with friendly faces.
"On Tuesday, she was on "The View," a setting that should have been impossible to screw up. Harris found a way, though. Her appearance with noted degenerate Howard Stern, who once put on blackface and repeatedly shouted a racial epithet, wasn't much better.
"Then there was "The Late Show" with Stephen Colbert. That was supposed to be the crescendo. It ended up being one of the most inauthentic, cringe interviews she's ever done. Whatever precautions the campaign had taken to that point to hide the true Kamala Harris, it all went out the window with a cackle and some bad jokes.". . .
"Colbert asks Kamala what she would do differently than Joe Biden (the second time she has been asked this question today).

Byron York: Only Harris could manage to botch a friendly interview!
. . ."What is certain is this: Harris botched an easy interview. And then she botched a hard interview. She appears to lack some very basic preparation for the job she seeks. Until now, her campaign has counted on a supportive press to paper over, to look past, that deficiency. Whether that will last for another month is an open question."
"For a moment after Oct. 7, the West sympathized with the Israelis. And then the West decided to go back to sleep — to watch its children march with Hamas and Hezbollah flags alongside terror supporters imported from abroad." . . .
"That's because we are living on the interest earned by our parents and grandparents. The European continent, until the war in Ukraine, had never experienced a more peaceful respite from history than since the end of the Cold War; America has enjoyed its own peace dividend, with spending ballooning to unprecedented levels and our wars fought in distant lands.
"When you are on vacation from history, you tend to engage in foolish fallacies. Fallacies like the idea that evil doesn't exist; that negotiation solves all conflict and that weakness brings with it peace instead of war; that apologizing for Western civilization is a corrective to past injustice rather than an incentive for future violence.
"On Oct. 7, 2023, history returned with a vengeance.
"On that day, Hamas — an evil terrorist group — invaded Israel and engaged in a triumphant orgy of rape and slaughter, the worst attack on Jews since the Holocaust. Some 1,200 Israelis were murdered; 250 were dragged back into the hellhole of Gaza.
"Hamas proved that evil does exist. The terrorists and their civilian counterparts celebrated their evil. They livestreamed it. They cheered as the broken and mutilated bodies of the slain were paraded through Gaza. They handed out candies as teenage dancers were raped and shot at a music festival.
"Yes, evil exists. It turns out that human beings are not all seeking the same things — that we do not all have the same priorities or the same values.
"Hamas proved that conciliation with evil and weakness toward it bring about only suffering. Israel has surrendered territory to a variety of terrorist groups over the past few decades: areas of the West Bank — Biblical Judea and Samaria — to the terrorist Palestinian Authority; the Gaza Strip to Hamas; southern Lebanon to Hezbollah. All have become terror havens. The only way to defeat evil is through credible threat of crushing force. The Western fallacy that negotiation is a strategy rather than a tactic — that we can talk our enemies into peace — is indeed a lie. Victory brings about peace; strength brings about peace.
"And the year since Oct. 7 proved that the West has lost her way.
"We have lost our way." . . .
. . ."Ironically, Kerry has been falsely accused of an offense that other prominent Democrats have committed. Just last month, Hillary Clinton publicly suggested that Americans who engage in Russian-backed election "propaganda" ought to be "civilly or even in some cases criminally charged." . . .
"I am no fan of John Kerry, a fact I have never disguised. In my view he was a poor senator and a worse secretary of state and I am enduringly grateful he never became president. A column I wrote about him in March opened with the observation: "I have followed John Kerry's career for 40 years, but I still cringe at things that come out of his mouth." (Kerry had told journalists that if Russia would reduce its carbon emissions, people would "feel better" about its assault on Ukraine.)
"So when Republicans and conservatives began berating Kerry over the weekend for the latest thing to "come out of his mouth," I figured at first that he had indeed said something egregious.
" 'John Kerry and other elite [D]emocrats hate the Constitution," Representative Thomas Massie, a Kentucky Republican, seethed in a post on X. In a column headlined "John Kerry against the First Amendment: Saying the Quiet Part Aloud," National Review's Andrew Stuttaford accused the former secretary of state of a "disturbingly authoritarian" desire to see media outlets "muzzled" if they disagree with him. The respected New York Sun and The Daily Wire played up the story, while the right-wing website PJ Media declared that Kerry had "literally" called for the "end of First Amendment speech rights." Even Elon Musk got in on the act: "John Kerry is saying he wants to violate the Constitution," he claimed.
"But Kerry was saying no such thing." [contrary to my own posts, TD]
"Last week, during a World Economic Forum panel, Kerry fielded a question about "tackling climate misinformation." He responded by noting that there is considerable "anguish over social media" and its impact on society. That impact includes "our problem, particularly in democracies ... of building consensus around any issue." Few would disagree that the rise of the internet dramatically weakened the influence of traditional media outlets that were once trusted sources of information. The old system has "been eviscerated, to a certain degree," Kerry said. People now "self-select where they go for their news, for their information.' " . . .
"Protesters eventually began slowly marching across several city blocks, complete with a police escort, megaphones, drumbeats, and local Baptist pastor Frederick Haynes slamming Israel as an “apartheid” state from the back of a pickup truck." ...
"Pro-Palestine activists swarmed the famous site of President John F. Kennedy’s November 1963 assassination for an afternoon of chanting and defiant speeches before marching through city streets.
"The rally was one of dozens across the U.S. and Canada that anti-Israel groups had planned as part of an “International Day of Action” to commemorate “one year of genocide” in Gaza and “one year of resistance” since Oct. 7, 2023—when Hamas terrorists killed or kidnapped, raped, and tortured, some 1,200 people in Israel.
"Numerous protesters likewise praised Palestinian “resistance” and demanded no more U.S. military aid to Israel.
"Several of the protesters’ signs equated Israel to Nazi Germany. Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein, who is Jewish, made the same comparison during a speech, saying she understands “genocide” because her own people endured it under Adolf Hitler." . . .
TV host breaks down hearing former Hamas hostage’s torture story
‘Was my life better under Donald Trump’s policies or is my life better under Kamala Harris’s policies?'” Collins continued."
A new tool has launched online to help voters track how high their cost of living has soared under the disastrous Biden-Harris administration.
The tool was created by former political director of the National Republican Convention Gentry Collins who launched his “Gas and Groceries” calculator this month.
“Survey after survey after survey shows that swing voters in swing states care about household affordability,” Collins told the hosts of “Just the News, No Noise.” “They can’t afford their gas, they can’t afford their groceries, they can’t afford the mortgage, their credit card bills are going through the roof and nobody is talking to them about it as directly as we ought to be.”
“What we’ve been able to do with our gas and groceries project is to allow voters in any zip code in the country to enter their zip code online and to see just the plain facts [with] no spin, no issue advocacy [and] no advocacy,” Collins added.
“What was your life like when it came to the price of a car to groceries or or a gallon of gas or mortgage affordability and so on in your zip code at the end of the Trump presidency, versus what it looks like here at the end of the Biden Harris administration,” Collins continued.
“Gas and Groceries cites that groceries are up 25% in cost since Biden became the president-specifically that egg costs are about 72% higher than when Trump was in office,” Just the News added."

The bottom line here, is that the agency has lost focus. That has cut into its ability to achieve its core mission, which is disaster relief. It was bad in fire-hit Lahaina, Hawaii, very obvious in this Hurricane Helene aftermath, and now with a new hurricane is on the way, with Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas saying they may not have enough money to respond to that. That's an agency that has done everything but pay attention to what it's supposed to do.
J.D. Vance had it right on that, and in his later suggestion that the military needed to be called in to coordinate the response. He's a good man for President Trump to have in a storm, the biggest of which will be in draining the Washington swamp in 2025.
Given the Biden-Harris administration’s slow response to Hurricane Helene relief, Megyn said it is but the latest example of where their priorities lie. “So, we are going to fund the sex change operations of serial killers… meanwhile, the Biden administration is saying that we need to dig deep into our pockets to help the victims of Hurricane Helene,” she noted. “Help! Make it make sense.”
"While TV viewership may not be what it once was, millions of Americans still gather to watch the NFL every Sunday. And with the election just five weeks away, it appears as though the Trump campaign is looking to make a splash with a national audience by running a new attack ad against Kamala Harris across the networks covering the big games.
"The 30-second spot focuses on Harris’ support of taxpayer-funded sex change surgeries for prisoners and illegal immigrants, and it has been called “effective” even by those who are no fan of the former president.'
"On Tuesday’s show, Megyn was joined by Joe Pagliarulo, host of The Joe Pags Show, to discuss the success of the ad and who the Trump campaign was able to reach with its placement." . . .
