Did KK actually answer one question?  Any immigration question was answered with her contortionist attempt to tie it to the 'bipartisan (really a Democrat plan)' Make Illegal Immigration OK bill that Trump supposedly torpedoed.  Of course Brett correctly pointed out that the opposition to that bill was also bipartisan.  Regardless, her sycophants in the MSM will applaud her for going on far right Fox News all while ignoring how Trump never shies from an interview at least until they screw him like Leslie Stahl and 60 minutes (I see others are doing their own recording of any 60 minutes interviews which makes absolute sense). 

Obama seemed to be scolding Old Corrupt Petulant Joe yesterday and my guess it is how he is at times, upstaging KK.

So this was supposedly the context of the conversation between Biden and Obama.

Will Kamala commit to certifying a Trump win?

 

[...] When Trump soundly defeated Hillary Clinton in 2016, several Democrats protested his electoral certification.  Hollywood celebrities banded together to create ads and sad videos begging for faithless electors to nominate anyone but Donald Trump.  The majority of the party, led by Hillary Clinton, then spent four years telling any media outlet that would listen that Trump was not a legitimate president — and in 2020 even advised Joe Biden not to concede under any circumstances, should Trump also win that election.

Now we find ourselves in a unique situation in 2024, as several close allies of Kamala Harris are signaling that should Trump capture the Electoral College, they will not certify his win this time around, citing everything from his criminal cases against him, to an invocation of the Fourteenth Amendment.  Kamala Harris, as the sitting vice president of the United States, must answer if she will certify a Trump victory, despite the calls against doing so coming from those close to her campaign.  [...]

Does Kamala Want Americans to 'Die Broke'?  Harris Death Tax Plan Would Be World's Highest

 

[...] While Harris and the Democrats talk virtually non-stop about "the rich" not paying their fair share, and large corporations profiteering at the expense of hardworking Americans, they don't talk nearly as much about their views on estate taxes — "death taxes" — and their desire to increase them, as well.

If Harris wins the presidential election, the question of how much is enough — or too much — to tax individual estates upon death will be front and center.  Bigly.

According to the American Business Defense Foundation, under Harris' economic and tax plans, the number of Americans subject to the death tax would double or triple, primarily because she has repeatedly declared she will let the Trump tax cuts expire in 2025 if she becomes president.  [...]

Polls Show Democrats Have Slight Lead In Early Vote-Rigging

 

U.S. — Early voting polls from swing states like Pennsylvania and Michigan indicated that Democrats are clinging to a slight lead in early vote-rigging.

According to election officials in key counties across the two states, the news is rather surprising, given the Democrats' strong performance in vote-rigging in the last several election cycles.

"The Democrats are still leading in early vote-rigging, but just barely," said ballot counter Dan Kratz, who was in charge of putting up posterboards to block people from watching the ballots being counted in 2020.  "Honestly, I'm just intrigued to see the Republicans putting up more of a fight.  Usually, the [...]

Dems Switch Out Kamala For A Wheel Of Cheese With A Sign Reading 'Not Trump'

 

U.S. — In a desperate, last-ditch attempt to keep Donald Trump from winning the election, Democrats have announced they are switching out Kamala Harris for a wheel of cheese with a sign reading "Not Trump."

Party officials reportedly held emergency closed-door meetings following Harris's widely panned interview with Bret Baier of Fox News this week, instead opting to utilize a rarely used loophole in election laws to install a block of cheese as the party's candidate.

"We feel the cheese is far more likable and, honestly, more intelligent," said one high-ranking Democrat who asked to remain anonymous.  [...]

Bret Baier Asks Harris To Prove She Moving Forward By Handing Her Baseball Bat, Wheeling Out Caged Biden

 

WASHINGTON—Offering the vice president a chance to gain the trust of voters skeptical about whether her policies would actually differ from those of the current administration, Fox News host Bret Baier reportedly challenged Kamala Harris Wednesday to prove she was moving forward by handing her a baseball bat and wheeling out a caged President Biden.

 

"Ma'am, you claim your presidency would not simply be a continuation of the past four years, so why don't you just show that right here, right now?" said Baier, who [...]

Trump Releases Skull Measurements From Phrenology Exam

 

PALM BEACH, FL—Claiming he had the most "beautiful and perfect" cranial structure that his physician had ever seen, former President Donald Trump reportedly took to Truth Social this week to release the skull measurements from his latest phrenology exam.

 

"According to my doctor and everyone at the Boston Phrenological Society, my incredible scalp morphology and brain contours will make me the best president of all time," Trump wrote in a late-night post, adding that his [...]

The Daily Beast reported his McDonalds' appearance as "further signs of being unhinged" (paraphrase) and said that he had claimed "without evidence" that Kommie Harris had never worked at a McDonalds.

This is an easy-reading, thorough analysis of what's going on with Kommie's campaign and what it probably means.  Can you find anything to object to?

Are Voters Asking The "Political Toast" Question About Harris And Her Campaign?

 

Much in the manner of the most famous modern crash-and-burn campaigns – George McGovern in 1972 and Michael Dukakis in 1988 – the signs are there that voters are starting to ask about Kamala Harris the political "toast" or "doom" question from which no presidential campaign can recover:  "If she can't even run a campaign, how can she run the country?"

The steady pattern since early September of questionable decisions, sudden turnabouts and self-induced controversies that have plagued the Harris campaign reached last week exactly the sort of crescendo seen at a similar point in the McGovern and Dukakis efforts: A stream of negative headlines from continuing revelations about the past record of the candidate and her running mate, attempts at clever tactical moves that become strategic debacles, the release of TV ads or videos that anyone outside the campaign finds incomprehensible or even mildly ridiculous, public appearances by the candidate and the campaign's most prominent surrogates that draw backlash and worsen the problem they are supposed to fix, growing complaints by party professionals and operatives about campaign oversight or ineptitude, down-ballot candidates out abandoning the national ticket, and a campaign structure struggling to process  disturbing developments or disappointing news but even when it does coming up with solutions that seem more improvised exercises in self-therapy than effective political fixes.

This sort of thing has been seen before and with serious consequences.  [...]

Trump Trolls Kamala With Epic Visit to McDonald's

 

For a while now, Donald Trump has said he'd work a shift at McDonald's.  The move was meant to troll Kamala Harris, who claimed she worked at the fast-food chain in the early 1980s.

Honestly, I didn't think Trump's plan was the best approach.  Sure, I doubt Harris ever worked at McDonald's, but in the bigger picture, with so much at stake in this election, is it really that important?  Nothing about Harris feels authentic, and while there's no proof she did work there, there's no way to prove she didn't either.  Last week, I said that Trump would have been better off focusing his rhetoric on exposing Harris's overall lack of genuineness rather than zeroing in on her McDonald's story.  While his visit may be clever trolling, it doesn't speak to the issues that really matter to most Americans.

Today, after seeing Trump work the fryer and the drive-thru at a McDonald's in Feasterville-Trevose, which is in Bucks County, northeast of Philadelphia, which happens to be a swing county, I actually think the event worked masterfully for him.  [...]
