That CNN Interview Did No Favors for Harris

 

[...] Following Harris' first sit-down interview since becoming the Democratic nominee, Newsweek found that the political betting odds have turned away from being in favor of the vice president after it was apparent a pre-recorded, scripted, and chaperoned interview couldn't even save her.

According to two leading bookmakers, Harris' odds of defeating Trump became slimmer as voters were more skeptical of her chances to win over Americans.  [...]

Francis Scott Key Estate Sends Cease-And-Desist To Trump For Playing 'Star-Spangled Banner' At Rally

 

BALTIMORE—Threatening significant legal consequences if the campaign failed to heed its warnings, the Francis Scott Key estate sent a cease-and-desist letter to Donald Trump on Friday that demanded he discontinue use of "The Star-Spangled Banner" at his rallies.

 

"This unauthorized political usage is in clear violation of [...]

7 Things Kamala Harris Has Never Done That Will Hamstring Her As President

 

Who would you rather have a beer with: Donald Trump or Kamala Harris?  Trick question.  Trump doesn't drink and Harris' handlers aren't going to let her off the leash for a drink with you, loser.

But if you did somehow end up at a table with Harris and a bottle of wine, don't play "Never Have I Ever."  She would kill at that game.  Here are seven things Kamala Harris has never done:  [...]

Anti-democracy Democrats are playing ballot games to boost Harris' chances

 

Hmm:  Democrats are fighting to get third-party candidates Jill Stein and Cornel West off the ballot in multiple states — while simultaneously battling to keep RFK Jr. on some states' ballot even after he's withdrawn.

"Defending democracy" sure is a tricky business.  Of course, the "principle" at stake here is nothing but "what's best for Kamala Harris."  [...]

Will Speaker, GOP Move To Save Social Security & Medicare?

 

[...] Democrats' plans for mass amnesty mean that every illegal alien who has entered the country under the Biden-Harris administration could become eligible for Social Security and Medicare.  [...]

 

[...] the prospect of illegal aliens bankrupting Social Security and Medicare could become a serious political dilemma for Democrats.  Americans will undoubtedly not take kindly to liberal politicians flooding the country with illegal aliens they can give amnesty to in order to boost Democrat Party voter rolls and increase dependency on the federal government by adding huge new numbers to entitlement programs.  [...]

Among many other good points, the author observes that Kommie is yet another whom Those Really Running Things can control.  Good reading.

The Committee's Candidate:  Harris's Inconsistent Campaign

 

So on Thursday, Kamala Harris was finally allowed out to meet the press.

Well, she was allowed to sit for about 18 minutes for a carefully scripted interview on a Dem-friendly network—CNN—with a partisan media head—Dana Bash—who came with a satchel of softballs.  Apparently, Harris has yet to be certified for solo flight, however, since she was chaperoned by her pick for VP, Minnesota governor and serial fantasist Tim Walz.

How did it go?  [...]

Independent Candidate Reveals Harris Campaign Bribed Him to Drop Out of Race

 

Independent far-left presidential candidate Cornel West revealed a shocking admission about how far the Democratic Party will go to win the 2024 election.

During an interview on the Status Coup News podcast, West claimed that the Harris campaign offered him a deal that resulted in him dropping out of the race.  He said they bribed him by offering him a cushy job in Harris' administration should she be elected and a promise to pay off his campaign debts.  [...]

Obviously there are many reasons Kaam is unelectable but here is 19 seconds that absolutely kills it.

If we successfully identify as members of the group that qualifies for reparations, wouldn't voting for her be worth it?

Can They Really Reinvent Kamala Harris in 70 Days?

 

In theory, it should be hard for Kamala Harris to win the presidency of the United States.

Under pressure, Harris just completed her first "live interview"—a disastrous performance that was mysteriously taped, edited, and emotionally supported by her co-interviewed running mate.  During the interview, she claimed that her values remain the same even though her manifestations of them have admittedly changed.  Translated, that means for the next 70 days, she will advocate for popular policies antithetical to her own values, which will inevitably resurface after the election once the current façade fades away.  [...]

This seems a quite excellent description of where, how, and whether "the buck stops."  Comments?

Trump Vs. The Interagency

 

[...] "Time and again, the question I am hearing from members of the general public, and which I put to you here, Admiral, is:  Who is running the country?"

That is actually the key question in deciding for whom to vote this fall in the presidential race.  For voting to matter, we have to have some sense that the people for whom we vote to make decisions are the people who make the decisions.  If they aren't, our vote really doesn't matter.  Harry Truman's famous sign gracing the desk in the Oval Office said, "The buck stops here."  Whether voters agree with all of Donald Trump's policies or not, the evidence points to the conclusion that voting for him alone results in a visible place where the buck will stop.  [...]

BAHAHA!  Lefty Kamala Harris Fanboys LOVE Her New 'MALA' Nickname, There's Just ONE HILARIOUS Problem

 

Victor Shi loving Kamala Harris's new 'nickname' SO MUCH only makes this funnier.

See, MALA can mean a couple of different things ... and it's not what he thinks.  Oh sure, they can push the MALA (Make America Love Again) nonsense but those of us with brains in our heads know it's anything but that.

 

But first, let's allow Vic to really make a fool of himself:  [...]

Tim Walz's Motorcade Involved in an Accident, He Left Those Injured High and Dry

 

Tim Walz's motorcade was involved in an accident on Monday, with two vehicles carrying press members hitting each other.  Initial reports are that there are minor injuries, with one reporter breaking their arm.  The incident occurred while Walz was on the way to Milwaukee, WI, for a campaign event.

 

Video of the scene showed that one van ran into the back of another.  Members of the press can be seen standing around on the side of the road.  Where was Walz?  He was nowhere to be found.

 

Yeah, you read that right.  Instead of stopping to check on members of his own motorcade, Walz just kept driving.  [...]
