RFK Jr. Really Really Hoping Nobody Asks Him Point Blank If He's Ever Eaten A Cat

 

[...] "They taste delicious," one anonymous source claimed to have heard RFK Jr. say.  "Unfortunately, there are things from my wild youth that I don't want to get out."  [...]

"To hear Harris during the debate, she's a pro-fracking, gun toting, Israel-loving, border-enforcing, capitalist patriot.."

 

Excellent synopsis of Kamal's debate performance.....non-answers and lies.  This guy gets it.

Trump's Surprising Secret Weapon:  Sympathy

 

[...] I, too, thought Kamala Harris had won the debate.  By the end, I was so demoralized, so sad, and so full of despair that I just went to bed and hoped it would be gone by morning.

 

I knew it wasn't just a debate.  It's much bigger than that.  It's a TIME magazine cover.  It's Frank Luntz and the Spectator declaring the debate will cost Trump the election.  It's a thousand points of light on Twitter, a once-great coalition undone by ugliness for ten long years.  It's a Stephen Colbert monologue.  It's a Taylor Swift endorsement.  It's the center of Bill Maher's entire universe on Friday night.  It will be Saturday Night Live.  It's too big.  Too insurmountable.  It's everything, everywhere, all at once.

 

Or is it?

When I woke up, scrolled through TikTok, and read the post-debate polls, I found headline after headline declaring voters' choice for president unmoved.  It made no difference whatsoever, and, if anything, sympathy tipped in Trump's direction, and Harris suddenly became as unlikable or "likable enough" as Hillary Clinton.

Why?  [...]

Yes, that is probably why they have to make him the bad guy again with this Laure Loomer BS. Looks like they are out of offence strategies if they fall back to the 'Trump the adulterer' tactics again. What a circus, can't wait for 11/5.

Kamala's First Solo Interview Was a Total Train Wreck

 

On Friday, Kamala Harris finally gave her first solo interview since Joe Biden was forced out of the presidential race.  It's hard to believe it took her nearly two months finally do an interview on her own.

And yet, the interview proved exactly why she hasn't.

Taking a page out of Barack Obama's playbook, Kamala didn't do an interview with a major news network, but with an ABC News affiliate in Philadelphia.  Barack Obama employed this strategy in order to have more leverage over the terms of the interview, and it seems the Obama people who have joined her campaign have advised her to do the same.

So, obviously, you know that she was given a bunch of softball questions from reporter Brian Taft, and yet the short interview was a complete trainwreck.  [...]

PA Cookie Poll Reveals Sweet Lead for Trump, but What People Are Telling the Bakery Drives It Home

 

Lochel's Bakery in Hatboro, Pennsylvania, had some big news in their big cookie poll as of Friday morning.

Every four years, they hold a poll where people can buy red cookies or blue cookies--with the candidates' names on them and the election year--to indicate their choice for president.  And the current count in the poll, based on how many have been bought for each candidate, is not looking good for Kamala Harris.  [...]

Harris' Train Wreck 'Interview' Proves One Thing:  She's Unfit for Office

 

We've all seen, or at least seen portions of, Vice President and current Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris' utter train wreck of a (scripted, pre-recorded, carefully planned, and still she screwed it up) interview with Philadelphia's 6 ABC anchor Brian Taff.  To call this a disaster was an unforgivable understatement; not even a carefully planned pre-recorded interview format could produce a win for the Queen of the Word Salad.  What.  A.  Mess.

 

The result?  A lot of media types and pundits are pointing out, correctly, that this is just one more indicator that Kamala Harris is unfit for office.  [...]

Look what the Disney-owned ABC affiliate in Phila. did with Kommie's interview.  The differences are stark.

NEW:  ABC News Caught Grossly Deceptively Editing Kamala Harris' Disastrous Solo Interview

 

[...] The above exchange can be seen online by going directly to ABC 6's website.  Guess who didn't see it?  That would be the network's television audience.  According to Tom Elliott, who runs Grabien, a media service that archives news coverage, ABC 6 and Taff made an astonishingly dishonest edit to the interview before playing it on the nightly news.

 

Specifically, the above word salad was completely cut out of the interview, and instead, a later portion was spliced in.  In the recording of the live broadcast, you can hear Taff ask the question posed in the above excerpt, yet the answer Harris is shown giving was not her actual answer in the interview.  [...]

BREAKING:  Pennsylvania Court Ruling a Massive Election Integrity Win on Mail-In Ballots

 

Remember during the 2020 elections, when several blue states (including the commonwealth of Pennsylvania) rewrote on the fly the laws about how, when, and where mail-in ballots (AKA vote by mail) would be counted?  It led to many voters becoming jaded and distrustful of a system that had been considered one of the most honest and free to hold elections in the world.

 

Courts ended up striking down those revised laws, and now we have news of a massive win for election integrity on mail-in ballots by the state Supreme Court in one of those states--the Keystone state of Pennsylvania:  [...]

The Debate at the Kitchen Table
 

ABC staged a debate this week.  A presidential debate.  Ostensibly between former president Donald J. Trump and former senator Kamala Harris, but in actuality between Trump and the partnership of Harris and ABC.

 

There is always media bias.  To some extent, unconscious media bias is unavoidable.  But we don't expect it to be blatant; the viewer doesn't expect antics like we saw this week, when the ABC moderators repeatedly declared Mr. Trump's statements lies, and never called out Ms. Harris's blatant lies.

We call it "fact-checking" today, a term coined in social media for when our high-tech overlords punish a writer for stating something with which the gurus disagree.  But it's not really fact-checking, is it?  It's an invasion of a conversation, a denial of free speech, a thumb on the scale.  In the case of a presidential debate, it's electioneering.

 

And it virtually invalidates the value of our constitutionally protected free press in this process.  ABC's refusal even to try to act as an impartial host rendered this debate useless.

So let's look instead at the other debates — millions of them — going on in America, both that day and every day in 2024.  [...]
