Harris Is Ending Her Campaign With Lies and Smears

Called by those who know Kamala as a "mean girl" , she hopes to do to Trump what she did to Judge Kavanaugh. TD

Victor Davis Hanson 

So, in final desperation, Harris is smearing Trump as a fascist, even though, ironically, he has been the target of fascist machinations from her own party and supporters for nearly a decade. 

Broc 

 "In the last two weeks, Vice President Kamala Harris has been trying to revive her stagnant campaign by smearing former President Donald Trump as being Hitlerian and a fascist. She claims Trump is planning to put his enemies in encampments.

"Yet in the modern era, it was not Trump who put large numbers of U.S. residents and citizens into “relocation camps,” but liberal Democrat President Franklin D. Roosevelt who sent Japanese-American citizens and residents into them.

"If Harris refers to Trump’s supposed fascist policies during his prior four-year tenure, there is no such evidence.

"Nonetheless, the once “joyful” Harris is ending her campaign by trafficking in lies and smears reminiscent of the Joe McCarthy era.

"Recall that fascists hijack law enforcement and the military to suspend constitutional rights and punish enemies. But Trump did neither.

"Instead, in 2016, a corrupt FBI went after Trump himself during the Obama administration with the bogus Steele dossier." . . .

Biden's hatred for Donald Trump seems beyond control

‘Kind of guy you'd like to smack in the ass’: Joe Biden unleashes on Donald Trump

Democrats hate Donald Trump more than they love America. TD



"When U.S. Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton ended her 2016 campaign at a rally in North Carolina, she recited a mantra the party believed would prove successful in defeating Donald Trump: "Love trumps hate."

"Yet that slogan, in reverse, may have been a significant key to Trump's defeat in 2020. For it seems that a number of voters supporting Joe Biden may have been motivated more by their loathing for the current Republican president than their passion for the Democratic candidate.

"And while polls consistently showed voters for Donald Trump were more enthusiastic about their candidate than Biden voters were for theirs, in the end, opposition to Trump and his presidency may have been just too strong a force to overcome.

"Or as Jason Whitlock, a sports writer, TV personality and radio host, recently said on Fox News, Trump supporters "love Donald Trump. Biden supporters hate Donald Trump."

The Biden-Harris Secret Hostage Deal With China

 Frontpage  The hostage taking and the hostage deals never end.


"Hostage deals are tempting especially when family members mount pressure campaigns, but they ensure that more hostages will be taken. After disastrous hostage deals with Iran and Russia, the Biden-Harris administration appears to have gone for a trifecta with a hostage deal with Communist China.

"The Biden administration brokered the release last month of David Lin, a U.S. citizen jailed in China for 16 years, by trading him for an unidentified Chinese citizen in U.S. custody, according to three people familiar with the deal.

The State Department hasn’t publicly disclosed that it exchanged Lin for a Chinese national and declined to answer questions about how it negotiated his freedom after his Sept. 15 release. That’s a marked difference from the very public prisoner exchanges that the U.S. has brokered with Russia in recent years.

"Lin was an economic adviser and then a missionary arrested by the CCP seemingly over his religious activities. He’s been in prison for a long time so it’s a sympathetic case, but it appears likely that we traded a spy for a hostage.

"The fact that no one will name the ‘Chinese national’ we released suggests that this individual was high value and that national security has once again been compromised.

"Hostage deals are never ‘one and done’. Doing hostage deals with China, Russia and Iran in particular is a disastrous policy because there are plenty of U.S. citizens traveling back and forth to these totalitarian dictatorships and so anytime their regimes want to free one of their spies, criminals or terrorists, all they have to do is take an American hostage." . . .

Sanger Would Be Very Proud Of Kamala Harris: Slaughtering Black Babies

 American Free News Network  "Margaret Sanger was the “mother” who gave “birth” to the abortion industry that is slaughtering full term babies today,"


"Kamala Harris’s major campaign issue is abortion, any time, anywhere, mostly paid by taxpayers, regardless the gestational age of the fetus, regardless the viability of the new human being. She is the first presidential candidate from a major party to visit an abortion clinic. No presidential candidate has been as thirsty for baby blood as Harris. Trump was the first president, ever, to speak at a Pro Life rally.

"Margaret Sanger (1879-1966), the leading voice of the abortion movement in America, indeed it could be said that she was the “mother” who gave “birth” to the abortion industry that is slaughtering full term babies today, wanted to “exterminate” the Negro race. She founded Planned Parenthood for that very purpose. Don’t take my word for it, she wrote down her plans:

"1922: “Birth control must lead ultimately to a cleaner race.”

"1926: “I accepted an invitation to talk to the women’s branch of the Ku Klux Klan…I saw through the door dim figures parading with banners and illuminated crosses…I was escorted to the platform, was introduced, and began to speak…In the end, through simple illustrations I believed I had accomplished my purpose. A dozen invitations to speak to similar groups were proffered.”

"1933: “Eugenic sterilization is an urgent need. We must prevent multiplication of this bad stock.”

"1939: “We should hire three or four colored ministers, preferably with social-service backgrounds, and with engaging personalities. The most successful educational approach to the Negro is through a religious appeal. We don’t want the word to go out that we want to exterminate the Negro population, and the minister is the man who can straighten out that idea if it ever occurs to any of their more rebellious members.” . . .

Israeli Commando Raid Captures Hezbollah Naval Commander

 Legal Insurrection  

Israeli naval commandos captured Imad Amhaz - a senior member of Hezbollah's naval force (and Captain Obvious lookalike). Amhaz will provide Israel with a wealth of information about Hezbollah's naval operations.


"In a daring raid, Israeli special forces on Friday morning allegedly captured a senior Hezbollah terror commander from a remote coastal town in northern Lebanon.

"The terrorist, identified by Lebanese media as Imad Amhaz, chief of Hezbollah’s naval operations, was picked by Israeli commandos from the town of Batroun, some 100 miles into the terrorist-held hostile territory.

“ 'Israeli naval commandos have seized a trainee mariner a military official described as a “senior operative” of Hezbollah in a raid in Lebanon and brought him to Israel for questioning,” the France24 TV channel reported Saturday. “It identified the person seized as Imad Amhaz.”

"An unverified CCTV footage posted on X shows a team of commandos whisking away a blindfolded man. They are seen walking in a tactical formation equipped with rifles and night vision glasses." . . .

How to Become a Background Actor

 Backstage


What is a background actor? "A background actor, or extra, is a nonspeaking role; extras appear frequently in the background of television or film productions, intended to round out the scene for realism’s sake. They could be spectators at a baseball game, audience members at a comedy club, or just people strolling through Central Park—these are all common background roles.

"Is there a difference between “background” actor and an “extra”?

"There is not! You may hear “background” used instead of “extra” because, frankly, it sounds a little more sophisticated. But a background actor is the exact same thing as an extra.

"What is a featured extra? "A featured extra is a background actor who gets a little more screen time. Maybe they pour the lead a latte, deliver a newspaper to their doorstep, or catch a fly ball—meaning that it’s more likely for a featured extra to be recognizable in the final episode or film. "Featured extra" is not an official SAG-AFTRA designation, however, and doesn’t translate into additional pay. 

"Another thing to remember: featured extras still don’t speak on camera. If they have even a one-word line, they’re now considered a “co-star.” Co-stars have five lines or less; generally, they’ll only be required for one day of shooting, though that’s subject to change. Unlike extra work, you absolutely can put co-starring gigs on your acting résumé when trying to land speaking roles. Also unlike extra work, almost without exception, productions will require co-stars to be members of SAG-AFTRA.

"How to be an extra in a movie or TV show

"Becoming an extra is much simpler than becoming an actor: you need a recent headshot, and that alone will enable you to apply for gigs, though an acting résumé with any background work you've done can help you land a part. “What we’re looking for in a submission is a picture that represents yourself,” says Grant Wilfley of Grant Wilfley Casting, which handles most background acting work in New York.

“We’re not interested in retouched professional headshots if they are not an accurate representation of what you look like,” Wilfley continues. You can even use a photo you took yourself, provided it shows that you took your submission seriously. Don’t use “an out-of-focus shot of yourself where you can only see half of your face. That’s not super helpful. It may show your quirky personality, but it’s not showing what you look like, and that’s really the most important thing.” . . .

. . ."For instance, an extra will be paid more if:

  • They are required to get wet (unless provided with swimming or surfing gear) or work in a smoke-filled environment
  • They personally provided certain props, such as pets or golf clubs
  • Body makeup or oil is applied to more than half their body 
  • They use special skills such as tennis, ice skating, horseback riding, or driving a motorcycle
  • Full article...
  • There are good extras and not-so-good extras!

Hugh Hewitt Quits Washington Post After Confrontation During Paper’s Live Show

 Legal Insurrection 

"This guy proved Hugh's point. He just sat there with dead air. Nothing in his notes to read as a rebuttal. Can't think on his feet, and no one whispering a follow up in his ear. They were both stunned with the Hugh's facts! Hugh is a seasoned and educated journalist, lawyer, and an articulate political analyst. Because the liberal host couldn't respond, he took the "you hurt my feelings" way out." (Comment)

 

 "Conservative radio host and Washington Post columnist Hugh Hewitt quit the paper after seven years.

"Hewitt quit after an explosive confrontation with Jonathan Capehart and Ruth Marcus over the election.

"I don’t blame Hewitt one bit:

CAPEHEART: Is it me, or does it seem like this week Donald Trump is laying the groundwork for contesting the election by complaining that cheating was taking place in Pennsylvania, by suing Bucks county for alleged irregularities. And this is on top of his continual assertion that if he loses it’s because of cheating.

MARCUS: Yeah. He’s been laying the groundwork for this, just not in the last week, but in the last “umpty yump” months. No election can be fair unless, in Donald Trump’s mind, unless Donald Trump wins it. And I think we are going to see him both rev up his supporters to contest elections outside of courtrooms and go to every courtroom he can in America where it’s relevant to make whatever arguments he can, no matter how far fetched we saw…But it didn’t work out. That may not happen this time.

CAPEHEART: And now I’ll let you go. Hugh.

HEWITT: Well, I just got to say we’re news people, even though we’re at the opinion section, it’s got to be reported. Bucks County was reversed by the court and instructed to open up extra days because they violated the law and told people to go home. So that lawsuit was brought by the Republican National Committee, and it was successful. The Supreme Court ruled that Glenn Youngkin was successful. We are newspeople, even though we have opinions, we have to report the whole story if we bring up part of the story. So, yes, he’s upset about bucks County. But he was right. And he won in court. That’s the story. I’ll let you keep going, Jonathan.

CAPEHEART: No. I just don’t appreciate being lectured about reporting. Many times you come here saying lots of things that aren’t…

HEWITT: I won’t come back, Jonathan. I’m done. I’m done. This is the most unfair election ad I have ever been a part of. You guys are working. That’s fine. I’m done.

Once 'joyful', Harris now goes the full McCarthyite: Victor Davis Hanson

Well, Democrats had to make Kamala's laugh a feature instead of a bug. TD

  Jewish World Review

 . . ."Fascists seek to control and weaponize the media. So, Facebook and Twitter both conspired with the FBI to censure news accounts favorable to Trump. The major newspapers, social media corporations, television networks, and public broadcasting systematically and continually attacked Trump, censured his supporters, and fused with his opponents.  Why then the charges of Trump the fascist and Hitler reincarnation?" 

"In the last two weeks, Vice President Kamala Harris has been trying to revive her stagnant campaign by smearing Trump as being Hitlerian and a fascist. She claims Trump is planning to put his enemies in encampments.

"Yet in the modern era, it was not Trump who put large numbers of U.S. residents and citizens into "relocation camps," but liberal Democrat President Franklin D. Roosevelt who sent Japanese-American citizens and residents into them.

"Recall that fascists hijack law enforcement and the military to suspend constitutional rights and punish enemies. But Trump did neither.

"Instead, in 2016, a corrupt FBI went after Trump himself during the Obama administration with the bogus Steele dossier.

"The FBI, which in 2016 had hired the faker Steele, in 2020, fused with social media to suppress accurate news reporting of the embarrassing Hunter Biden laptop scandal.

"A number of FBI directors and intelligence officials — John Brennan, James Clapper, James Comey, Andrew McCabe — who openly sought to destroy Trump had a long history of either lying or feigning amnesia under oath.

"Fascists try to warp the legal system. But Trump's own Justice Department selected an independent special counsel to investigate the invented Russian collusion accusations against him.

"In vast contrast, the Biden Justice Department coordinated with Georgia prosecutors Fani Willis and Nathan Wade, special counsel Jack Smith, Manhattan prosecutor Alvin Bragg, and New York Attorney General Letitia James to prosecute Trump, bankrupt him, and keep off the campaign trail.

"Fascists use their governments to destroy their enemies." . . .

Report: White House Officials Pressured Stenographers to Edit Biden’s ‘Garbage’ Smear

Wendell Husebo

“There’s no way to spin it: Joe Biden and Kamala Harris don’t just hate President Trump, they despise the tens of millions of Americans who support him. Kamala does not deserve four more years,” Karoline Leavitt, Trump campaign national spokesperson, said Tuesday

"White House press officials reportedly pressured stenographers to cover up President Joe Biden’s “garbage” smear by editing the transcript to alter its meaning.

"The coverup was “a breach of protocol and spoilation of transcript integrity between the Stenography and Press Offices,” according to a stenographer supervisor’s email obtained by the Associated Press (AP).

“ 'The only garbage I see floating out there is his [Trump] supporters,” Biden said Tuesday.

"The White House stenographers added an apostrophe to “supporters” and an em-dash to alter the meaning of Biden’s statement.

"White House press officials pressured the stenographers, charged with preparing accurate transcripts for National Archives’s preservation, but the stenographers drew objections to the changes, according to two U.S. government officials and an internal email obtained by the Association Press.
“ 'This would be called lying in a public document,” Clay Travis, founder of Outkick, reacted on X. Greg Price said the edit is a “Direct violation of the Presidential Records Act.”
"The AP reported: 
The change was made after the press office “conferred with the president,” according to an internal email from the head of the stenographers’ office that was obtained by The AP. The authenticity of the email was confirmed by two government officials who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss internal matters.
According to the email, the press office had asked the stenographers to quickly produce a transcript of the call amid the firestorm. Biden himself took to social media to say that he he was not calling all Trump supporters garbage and that he was referring specifically to the “hateful rhetoric about Puerto Rico spewed by Trump’s supporter at his Madison Square Garden rally.” . .  .
Democrats "speak"; Republicans "spew". TD      Biden Calling Trump Supporters ‘Garbage’ Says All You Need To Know About Today’s Dem Party; Issues & Insights  . . ."As the news site Just the News noted, “the Democrats’ penchant for smearing MAGA supporters and other dissident groups has become a central part of their messaging as Trump appears poised to make a return to the White House.”

"With two assassination attempts made on his life and his fervent MAGA followers vilified daily by the so-called mainstream media, Trump’s response to Biden’s word-belch perhaps put it best: “You can’t lead America if you don’t love Americans,” he told supporters at a North Carolina rally Wednesday. “And you can’t be president if you hate the American people.”

"Next Tuesday, Democrats might find out just how true those words are."

Why You Should Always Double-Check Your Ballot: Kentucky Voting Machine Showed Trump Vote As Vote For Harris

The Federalist

  "Republican National Committee Co-Chair Lara Trump encouraged voters to report any issues to ProtectTheVote.com.

Try to ignore the dramatic music.

“ 'I tried to pick Trump 10 times, it would not work.”

"That’s part of the caption for a now-viral video on X showing a voter trying to cast a vote for former President Donald Trump. After several attempts, the video shows, the electronic voting machine captured a vote — but it was for Vice President Kamala Harris. Although officials have looked into the issue, such glitches are a reminder to voters to always double (if not triple) check ballots when casting votes.

"The user, whose screen name is “it’s me,” said in the post that the incident took place in Kentucky. She claimed she “went to the head of the election board and will send this video to KY attorney general.”

"Kentucky Attorney General Michael Adams said in a post on X responding to a report on the incident that “there is no ‘vote-switching’. The voter confirmed that her ballot was correctly printed as marked for the candidate of her choice. Get your voting information from legitimate sources, not TikTok or cat turds.”

"Laurel County Clerk Tony Brown later confirmed in a post on Facebook that when the state’s Attorney General’s office came to “check the device,” the incident eventually occurred again.

“ 'The Attorney General’s office has been to the vote center to check the device that has been shown across social media today. In full disclosure, after several minutes of attempting to recreate the scenario, it did occur,” Brown said on Facebook. “This was accomplished by hitting some area in between the boxes. After that we tried for several minutes to do it again and could not.”

"Brown also posted a video of what he said was “the same machine used by the voter” in which viewers “can see us going back and forth through the names with no issues.” He said there were no other reports of issues with the machine." . . .

"Anderson Blooper: Thank you all for your observations. (Removes his eyeglasses, battling to hold his emotions in check, and looks up at the clock). I am going to read a wire service report. President Abraham Lincoln died at 7:22 a.m. Eastern Standard Time."


"The mainstream media mangle the truth in their collective effort to push America toward a communist-styled government. Imagine the reporting if today’s one-sided leftist media had been around in April 1865.

"The Civil War, with approximately 600,000 casualties, ended on April 9 with a decisive Union victory. On April 15, a war-weary President and Mrs. Lincoln, along with some guests, went to the Ford Theater to see My American Cousin and then…

"Announcer: This is Counterfeit News Network. We interrupt our regular programming with a bulletin. We go to our CNN studio in Washington, D.C.

"Anderson Blooper: Ladies and gentlemen, we have just learned that President Lincoln was shot. We take you outside Ford Theater, where the Secret Service is holding a news conference.

"Secret Service Spokesman: …the hallway leading to the presidential box at Ford Theater was sloped, which is why we didn’t have anyone standing guard outside…

"Anderson Blooper: We’ve been informed that the injured president, and we do not yet know how serious his injuries are, was transported across the street to the Petersen boarding house. Let’s first go to Dana Rash inside the theater." . . .Full article here.
