Who Engineered the Political Coup Against Biden?

 

[...] someone needs to tell the truth about the 10 days that shook the nation, from the moment Trump took a would-be assassin's bullet on July 13 to the afternoon Biden inexplicably dropped his reelection bid and Kamala Harris was coronated.

 

And the first question that needs to be answered, and which no one in the mainstream media is asking, is "Who convinced Joe Biden that debating Trump on June 27, nearly two months before the Democratic convention, was a good idea?"  [...]

Carville Warns Dems:  'The Ice Pick Cometh'

 

Consider this the wrap-up to what likely will be the final day of whatever honeymoon Kamala Harris has.  The Obamas literally phoned in an endorsement this morning, which means that unless Democrats dig up the corpse of FDR, the potential sugar highs from endorsements have come to an end.  Harris may get brief news-cycle boosts from her Veepstakes pick and at the convention, but this introductory week held the most real potential to change the race from the hole Joe Biden dug.

 

And according to CNN polling analyst Harry Enten last night, that potential went largely unrealized.  And in fact, Trump had a pretty good week -- again:  [...]

WATCH:  Short Trump Ads Targeting Swing States Are ABSOLUTELY Brilliant Political Advertising

 

In most elections, the choice of the voters often (not always, but often) comes down to voting against someone rather than for someone.  It's just a political calculus people make.  Is it ideal?  No.  But it's the reality, especially in a two-party system.

 

So when this writer stumbled across this thread of short, natural sound, micro-targeted Trump ads, it really was an eye-opening change of pace.

It's giving voters something to vote for -- not negative, not bombastic.  Just simple ads.

Watch:  [...]

'Really, Really, Really Happy For You, Kamala,' Says Hillary Clinton, Not Letting Go Of Handshake

 

WASHINGTON—Doing her best to appear elated while a large, throbbing vein protruded from her forehead, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said she was 'really, really, really happy' for Vice President Kamala Harris as she shook the presumptive Democratic nominee's hand and refused to let go of it.  [...]

Vance Pounces on Kamala Effectively

 

From the moment Kamala Harris became her party's de facto nominee for the presidency, her team began cranking out advertisements attacking Donald Trump as you would expect.  But she's also been attacking JD Vance as well.

 

In one recent ad, Harris somberly warns the country that if her opponents are elected, Vance will be loyal only to Donald Trump, not to America.  It's certainly true that loyalty is an attribute that Trump values highly, but going after Vance in this fashion was an obvious mistake.  He's a Marine, after all, not to mention being a job creator.  Accusing him of a lack of loyalty to America would be a heavy lift under the best of circumstances.  While addressing the crowd at a campaign rally in Minnesota, Vance fired back, and he didn't pull any punches.  [...]

Potential Harris VP Pick Josh Shapiro Accused by Democrat of Covering Up Sexual Harassment in His Office

 

Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro, reportedly one of the the frontrunners to be Kamala Harris's vice presidential running mate, was accused of covering up sexual harassment in his office by another Democrat running for statewide office.

 

Erin McClelland, a candidate for treasurer in Pennsylvania, accused Shapiro of covering up a sexual harassment claim by an aide last year.

"I want a VP pick that's secure enough to be second under a woman, is content to be VP & won't undermine the president to maneuver his own election & doesn't sweep sexual harassment under the rug," McClelland posted on X Friday.  [...]

WATCH:  The Trump-Harris Debate We'd Love to See — Hilarious Impersonators Absolutely Crush It

 

As Donald Trump and Kamala Harris continue their kabuki dance over whether or when they'll agree to debate, a talk radio show in Philadelphia on Thursday treated its listeners to a hilarious imaginary debate, featuring impersonator stand-ins for the former president and current vice president.

 

There are impersonators who do a good job mimicking voices, affects, cadence, and quirks of the people they impersonate.  Then there's Shawn Farash.  Close your eyes, and this guy is Donald Trump.

At the other podium, Estee Palti delivered a blistering version of Kamala Harris: clueless, hypocritical, and hyena-like laughter.  Talk Radio 1210 WPHT absolutely nailed the production.  [...]

Nothing Is Out Of Bounds In Attacking Kackling Kamala

 

One of the challenges of defeating Kamala Harris is figuring out just what to slam her on.  There are so many powerful lines of attack to use against this leftist hack that it takes some consideration to figure out which is the most effective.  But already, some Republicans are trying to help leftists place some of the most potent attacks are being put off limits.  We're being told there are certain things we just can't say about her.  We're not supposed to mention that she’s a goofy weirdo with an evil laugh.  We're not supposed to mention she's an incompetent DEI hire.  And, of course, we're not supposed to talk about her sordid history of sexual ladder climbing.

 

No.  We hit her with everything.  [...]

It Can't Be Kamala:  Another Longshot Prediction in a Good Year for Longshot Predictions

 

[...] For many of us, it was obvious that Biden wouldn't make it to November.  It can't be Biden on the top of the ticket in 2024, I argued back then.

 

And yet somehow, the prediction that he wouldn't be around in November to headline the ticket was considered a longshot prediction by all of the mainstream media and the supposedly smart set of political wonks.  There just wasn't enough time to replace Biden in the primary process if they didn't replace him by March, we were told.  If they were going to do it, they'd have to do it quickly [...]

 

Waiting until after the primaries to replace Biden was a longshot prediction among the supposedly smart set, too.  But, lo and behold [...]

 

If Democrats are smart, they'll space out the potential polling bumps available to them all the way to November, and they will wait a week or so to announce a VP for the Harris ticket.  If those bumps aren’t promising enough before convention, I would expect a replacement for Harris in an open convention.  [...]

Democrats Condemn Obviously Manipulated Audio Of Kamala Harris Where She Sounds Sober

 

U.S. — Democrats are condemning a new viral video of Kamala Harris which uses AI to make her speech sound sober.

"This is not the Kamala Harris I know," said an enraged Gavin Newsom.  "Manipulating a voice to make it sound sober should be illegal.  I'll be signing a bill in a matter of weeks to make sure it is."

In the video, [...]

Whoa:  Trump Hits 52% in New Harvard/Harris Poll

 

Say, whose honeymoon is this, anyway?  Supposedly, Kamala Harris has "totally upended" the race with The Anointment and the media's rush to proclaim the advent of "Kamalot."  Also, Donald Trump only has a ceiling in the mid-40s and can't possibly win an outright popular-vote majority, especially with such a Historic Candidate™ as an opponent.

 

Or so analysts thought.  According to a new Harvard-Harris CAPS poll, Donald Trump leads Kamala Harris 52/48 with leaners, and 48/45 without.  Harris has improved Joe Biden's numbers on the latter, but not the former:  [...]

Powerful New Dave McCormick Ad Ripping Kamala Harris on Border Crisis Hits 'Em Right Where It Hurts

 

Not quite a week ago, and hot on the heels of Joe Biden being forced out announcing he was withdrawing from the 2024 presidential race, Pennsylvania Republican Senate nominee Dave McCormick released a hard-hitting campaign ad that tied his opponent, Sen. Bob Casey Jr., to Vice President Kamala Harris' record, leaving no stone unturned in the process.  [...]
